drip

Hmm. There seems to be a leak I missed yesterday in the bedroom closet. Fortunately it’s a tiny one and it’s on the side I use as a closet, not the side I use as an office. This morning’s thunderstorm (WTF, nature, that’s enough out of you, stop that) alerted me to its drippy presence.

And of course not an hour after I clear stuff out and put a bucket under the drip, it stops dripping. There’s about a tablespoon of water in the bucket. NOT THAT I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS

Just in case, I cleared stuff out of the bedroom under the water stains on the ceiling (some of which kind of look like an abstract goatse from the bed) and put trash bags all over the floor. I poked a couple of holes in the stains yesterday to make sure there wasn’t fifty gallons of standing water up there and nothing came out, they’re just damp spots with no puddles behind them. Still, I moved the TV, VCR, and PS2 into the living room, where they’ll probably stay. Having them in the bedroom didn’t work out as well as I’d hoped anyway, and if I do get the urge to watch a movie in bed I now have a laptop with a DVD drive.

If it ever stops raining I may board the bike and see if any restaurants are open.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PASADENA RESIDENTS

SUPER SEVEN AT FRESA AND LAFFERTY IS OPEN. THEY HAVE BEER.

…ahem.

Also, Schlotzky’s at Spencer and Burke was open but packed when went by. Bernal Meat Market on Pasadena Blvd. also appeared to be open, but had a line going way out the door.

Went by Mom’s house to check things out, cleaned up the yard a little, called her to let her know the house was mostly okay and was told to eat whatever was in the kitchen that might be edible. So I had crackers and spray cheese for lunch. \o/
