I woke up this morning, stepped out of my bed, and...
squish.
squish squish.
A pipe burst in my apartment last night.
I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm sorry, Tom. The only liquid one should wake up to is coffee, brewed in a pot with a timer. I hope your landlord will deal with things quickly and completely.
Happy Birthday, Meara!
Obama's speech was on too late for me last night. (Starting at 10? Dude—I'm in be by 9:30 on work nights.) I'm looking forward to watching it on YouTube, though. It sounds like he was pretty amazing.

I don't have a landlord; I own. I do have a super, though, who lived up to his name this morning.
All and all, I think that having a pipe bust in your apartment is better than having one burst above your apartment. I hope the people downstairs don't have a lot of damage.

Oh, I was skipping just for that: happy birthday, meara! I hope you have a great day and a wonderful year!
Also, it's Jen K's birthday as well (I love it when Buffistas share a birthday), so even though I haven't seen posts from her in forever, I hope the well-wishes will find their way to her somehow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy birthday, meara and Jen!

True fact. When we had a pipe incident on my floor in a college dorm, it was the people downstairs who were really screwed. Still sucks for you, though.

I think squishing the first thing in the morning is rarely good. I hope things dry out, Tom.
