Eric and I had a really nice night last night. I spent almost 3 hours in the hot tub. We ate outside by the pool. They have grills and tables out by the pool/hot tub area. We had grilled burgers and fries (cooked in the oven). It was funny, the clubhouse has an exercise facility that overlooks the hot tub and pool area outside. So we were scarfing burgers and fries right in front of these people on the treadmill. It was great! I don't mean to make our apartment complex seem like it's a Club Med or anything like that. It's nice enough, nicer than anywhere I've ever lived (except for when I lived with my evil aunt and uncle in their 1/4 million dollar house). I'm used to prefab housing and flea infested crackhouse apartments.... Our apartment is one big square separated into four smaller squares. The rental people are cool. We've had a cat since thanksgiving and havent been yelled at about it yet : ) Though some things could be improved: When I got home from work today there were two large firetrucks and a squad car and three golf carts that the maintenence guys drive parked out front of our building. Turns out the fire hydrant thingy thats attached to the building exploded and flooded the apartment directly across the hall from us. The hydrant thingy is enclosed in a storage closet outcropping in the front of the building but all the water went into the neighbors apt. Her place was FUCKED UP! The water was above the level of our doorway and I had to wait for it to be cleaned before I came in the apt. Luckily our place was dry. Eric's bass amp and our guitars are right near the door and the laptop was on the floor too. I was helping out earlier talking with the woman who lives over there. They're a pakistani couple, she doesnt speak much english, didnt understand how things work over here "Not my fault?? I don't pay???" (she calmed down considerably after I explained things to her...). Sometimes I hear her and her husband fighting, he's got a hell of a temper. I hope things go alright when he gets home from work.... Eric doesn't know about the close call yet. I tried to call him while I was stuck outside but he must have been in a meeting. His house flooded a couple years ago and it was pretty devestating to him. Oughtta be interesting telling him bout today.

Always remember to quit while you're ahead.
