the title is sarcasm.
as if things haven't been eventful enough lately, this past sunday, a whole bucket's worth of water started pouring out if the ceiling of my bathroom, right while i was in the middle of taking a shower. eventually we figured out that the top floor unit shower drain pipe started leaking suddenly and profusely, so every time they took a shower, we and the second floor neigbor also received the same shower non-consensually through the walls. our building is very old, so this was not the most unusual thing to happen. due to the complicated logistics of the multi tenant situation, it took a couple days for communication to propagate and repairs to be made, but it seems to be fixed now. (knock on wood.)
when i was living in a studio apartment in brooklyn a few years ago, i had a situation where my bathroom ceiling was leaking for an extended period of time, and i eventually had to move out because it seemed like they weren't going to truly address it. they just kept sending hapless maintenance people who weren't actually plumbers and never actually did anything helpful. so i was really stressed out and worried that this would be a repeat of that situation, and i really do not want to move in the near future. crisis averted, for now.
other than that, it's been a normal week so far. at work we have a deadline to provide paintings for a show next week, so we are doing a big push and i will likely work an extra day this week. i also went to the gym a couple days ago and did yoga class today. my muscles feel sore but good. the weather has been typical autumn; at its nicest, in the afternoons, it is cold but clear and warm in the sun.
i am still reading cryptonomicon. i seem to be 3/4 of the way through. it's very long and meandering, and i'm enjoying it.
all right, time to go to bed.
