I do not know Rich or what fourfour is, but that twitter sounds awesome. I wish I had a cell phone acct that made twitter a possibility.
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Speaking of asshole landlords, my former apartment is trying to charge me $25 for the hole in the wall. WHICH THEIR MAINTENANCE GUY MADE.
Um, NO. There will be words. It's only $25, but I will do one last battle with them. And they will refund the remainder of the laundry card, damnit.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
They say I didn't follow the instructions, which was true to some extent at first because I had so much stuff in my small 1-bedroom apartment.
Did the instructions have a time frame for you to get rid of your stuff? I just really feel like the burden of proof is on your landlords.

Just watched a whole cavalcade of police and fire trucks race down Ellerslie (try saying that. I can't) and then the sirens cut out. So nearby. Better not be the playground again....

I hung up another picture! (OK, fine, the screw was already in the wall, probably not its final location, but for now? I hung up another picture, OKAY?!)

Oh, tommyrot, that's sucktastic.
Here's another link to throw in: [link] It and Teppy's link both have numbers I think you should call.
And as for the cat issue... do you know for sure that both cats are territorial? How old are they? There's a way to do it where you slowly expose them to each other so that they don't see the new animal as an invader. This is a good summary; I know there are some cats that would never go for it, but a friend of mine used to introduce cats & kittens & dogs into her house with that method, and all of her pets have gotten along fine.

Also, figured out they did hang new wallboard over the lathe in 2 of the bedrooms (master and balcony.) Wonder how bad the walls were?! I found this out because they didn't behind one of the radiators and the lathe is exposed there. So they must've stripped the plaster off. Iiiinteresting. I'm guessing in the last year because the unpainted area on the wallboard that is behind the radiator is only a first or second coat.
Bedroom that has plaster has old water damage/patching due to the downspout having leaked. Seems to be remedied now.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I have a friend that is dealing with a possible future eviction-- due to the sale of where he is living. SF laws are pretty tenant biased -- and even with out a lease they have to formally evict you. I might find out what your rights are and then watch how it goes. In my friend's case, there is no good reason for him to make it easy on anyone. And there probably isn't a good reason for you to make it easy either. There might be ways to come up with a deal from them -- If they really think things are your fault, it is cheaper if you leave willingly

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
