I woke up this morning, stepped out of my bed, and...
squish.
squish squish.
A pipe burst in my apartment last night.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

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.
