The haunted barn has not-so-ghostly fleas

[cornerofmadness]

WHEE! Head desk. Spent 4 hours there helping with final wall placement and lights and feeling useless because of my arm. There is one guy there who, while is a super hard worker,is the most annoying man to ever live. He never shuts up. I could live with that but he's always a) interuppting while we're planning things, often with very enthusiastic ideas that are utterly impractical b) trying to scare us while working c) not following instructions. I can not believe how patient they were tonight when we were trying to use the darkness to place the dim lighting and he kept turning on a freaking hand held strobe. OMG, did we need to tell you three times that we need to darkness to judge the lighting? You're 30 something years old. Grow up.

In now particularly order my shirt and pants were in the mouth of a sheep, a holstein, a brown swiss and a donkey. Dudes I am not edible but YOU are, keep that in mind. The sheep and the holstein in particular wanted to be petted and started following me to every point they could still see me. THe strobe lights freaked the fuck out of the birds in the barn. The pigs will be IN the barn the whole time. Pigs stink. That is all.

I have a sore throat. My lymph nodes are swollen. I'll probably be dead in time for nano because I rarely get sore throats and when I do pneumonia almost inevitably follows. Have i mentioned I'm spending the next week in a barn in the cold? I was SO tired I fell asleep twice at my desk at work during a two hour long let's find the short in the fire alarm system session.

Got home to find a) either i left my house unlocked this morning or the landlord was in here. yipes. b) a note from the landlord, a rambling pissy, legally dangerous (for him) letter calling for a meeting of everyone. I'm not really worried about this. I do not have dogs. I do not have kids. I'm not the person who hasn't paid her rent in three months and is playing the race card and crying discrimination because of the eviction notice (but he should NOT have put that in the letter). I know letters to the sheriff and child protective services are not about me. I have not yelled at hte kids. I'm not parking on the back patio and I'm not leaving garbage on the porch (including a bed and a sectional sofa). I AM concerned about the new 'no pet' rule. I don't think he'll make me get rid of the cats but you can never tell. Mom thinks I'll get special treatment by him (and I might since i have ties to the school and I pay my fucking rent). Still, the letter has me in a pissy mood.

I'm too busy to do photos tonight.

You live in such a picturesque area.

I like your battle cry. Mine is a recipe: "I'm going to pound you beyond the end of time, and roll you in creamy neugut!!!"

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

...that definitely sounds like your battle cry.

Hope the meeting goes well. You haven't said anything about the howling dog, but I'm sure he might have something to do with it.

Dear talky guy -

SHUT. UP.

KTHX.

[sillymagpie.livejournal.com]

Also a misspelled battle cry.

[sillymagpie.livejournal.com]

Perhaps they should make it a haunted butcher's shop. It would smell about right. (bleah)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

haha sounds about right

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it's something

and snort. it's a fun misspelled battle cry

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

I hope you landlord leaves you and your cats alone.

I don't think I could deal with pig stink.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

honestly i think this WHOLE meeting is about 3 apartments and it's more about the dogs shitting everywhere. they just toss the dogs out to do their business

god i wish he would

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i think he will. Most of this is directed at several deadbeats. If he wants to get pissy with me, i could write him up ten times over on the things he's not been doing do...

Pig stink is strong

[ital-gal.livejournal.com]

that's a good battle cry, makes me wish I had one.

be careful, take care of yourself...!

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

That's gross. In such a tiny area, cleanup is important.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah no kidding. I stepped in dog shit on the sidewalk on monday.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

EWWWWWWWW.

Of course, I run the risk of doing that with goose crap in the park, no matter where I walk.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

hahahaa did it not give you a good one?

thanks

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

goose will do that. they're dirty birds who poop as big as cats

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

As big as my dogs, too. Yeesh. And it stinks!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yep. i'm no fan of geese

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Me, neither. I usually try to feed the ducks when I go to the park.

[silvrethorn.livejournal.com]

Oh, yuck! I just went through the blistering sore throat/chest full of goop and am currently dragging around with no energy, so I feel for you. Being in a cold, pig-stinky barn being bitten by fleas will not help you fight the cold/pneumonia, either, which sucks. Better go get your pneumonia antibiotics now, because you know you're going to need them.

If your landlord doesn't want trashy tenants treating his apartment complex like a barnyard, maybe he should be more particular about who he rents to. Maybe require references and background checks, just saying. I don't know about "no pets," but it sounds like a "no dogs" policy is long overdue.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i'm feeling a little better today but sick students want to breathe on me and someone in walmart went out of their way to cough on me.

yeah I've had that thought too. LIke make sure they have oh I dunno A JOB and aren't supporting 5 kids on welfare and can actually afford this place instead of his usual let them squat for 5 months before he can finally pry them out (or they run out in the middle of the night)

You know, these people are WHY most places have a no dog rule

[ital-gal.livejournal.com]

ooh, I didn't look closely enough to see I could have one
.
Sprinting amidst the cliffs, clutching two hardened pitas, cometh Ital_gal! And she gives a cruel howl:

"I'm going to clobber you with such zeal, you will polymorph into a leather daddy!!"

I think it suits me

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I love that you kill with pita

[ital-gal.livejournal.com]

well I'm not sure if that is better than turning them into leatherdadys's but, but yes, I can see me threatening to Pita someone to death.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

hahahaha

I wasn't sure i wanted to know what a leather daddy is. I have ideas....

[ital-gal.livejournal.com]

Ok well that shocks me. thought you of all people might know what a leather daddy is..

of course, I lived 15 years in san francisco, my ideas of what everybody knows are somewhat skewed.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

well that was what was in my head but what the hell that had to do with getting hit with pita...

[ital-gal.livejournal.com]

well they are hardened pitas. Was that too easy?

Anyway, its a pretty cool super power too have. I am trying to think of how I could use it for good.

I can already think of some policiticians and fox news personel that I would like to pita into leather daddy ness...

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that would be awesome. See i'm thinking that being a leather daddy is sort of fun (which I think is why i was surprised that outcome for your death attack)
