....kill my landlord...

[hippybngstockng]

Naw, I don't want to kill 'em, just remembering that poem from the old old old days... Was that Eddie Murphy? I think so.

The female half of the landBorg are coming over today to "inspect" the place. I had Crash throw a bunch of boxes and things into the garage so the house actually looks quite presentable. I cleaned the hell out of it, and made Crash help a bunch, and now it looks and smells beeeeyoootiful. I had a hard time explaining it to Crash, but the way things have gone, I want this visit to be about how wrong she is about how much we cared. I want her to leave not only feeling bad, but like she might've wanted to hire me to help clean her B&B in Stratford, if things had been different. Fuckers.

Bingo - Eddie Murphy it was, on SNL. A poet. "Kill my landlord. C-I-L-L my LAND LORD."

Yep.

Good for you.

When we moved into a rental townhouse - I was dismayed that the fellow showing us the place told us it was okay to abuse it. When we moved out, there was one fresh ding in the floor, but everything else was as close to move in as living will allow. Looked good.

I've seen folks wear rentals down to little pencil stubs, so I know what the landlord fears... One fellow had a hole where his cat pissed on the wall in the bathroom that went right through to the hall way... rotting drywall, yuck!

Sadly, this place is kinda pre-worn, or at least the kitchen is. I told her straight out about how the sink is the one thing about the place that always had me utterly frustrated, I pointed directly at the bottle of bleach I frequently have to use if I want the sink to actually be "white" (and believe me, it's "white" as opposed to white). The fridge was a close second, with the bottom shelf and veggie drawers that collapse if you sneeze, and the corners of the freezer where things melt. The stove is okay, but only if you don't mind everything you bake being either slightly raw in the front, and burned in the back, and this AFTER I balanced it. I happily pointed at the huge holes I've put in the walls trying to hang things up, which I bought spackle for ages ago, and assured her I would use before we left. I also went on about how I frequently clean the carpet, but wasn't planning on doing so before I left because she was better off hiring a pro to do it. I said I would pre-clean the stains, and she beamed...
