BUT...I really NEED to clean. I was so sick and tired of the pig stye that I live in this morning, I walked out...I didn't even tell Brian where I was going. I'm not going to say that I don't leave messes, but seriously, he is about 70% of the trash mess. Gregory just makes the trash look worse than it should because he thinks he needs to help...and his toys and papers are all strewn about the living room.

I spent a whole evening cleaning up the pit we call a kitchen...it was clean for a few days, but Brian's got it all trashed up again. I'm so fucking pissed off about it! Why should I have to clean up my mess and his gigantic mess? I don't mind picking up if there are a few things out of place or things like that, but I don't feel like I should have to put on a pair of rubber gloves (I don't do that when I clean anyway, but sometimes I feel like I should) and the bleach and cleaning supplies every time I clean. I would rather scrub a dumpster...because that's what it looks like in our apartment.

Brian doesn't know where the garbage can is, doesn't know where the dishwasher is (would rather leave the dishes in the sink even though they're right next to the dishwasher)...he leaves dirty rings around the bath tub, shaves and leaves his hair all over the sink in the bathroom, hair all over the floor...doesn't know how to put the toilet paper on the roll...I feel like I'm drowning in a pile of filth!

Ugh...I guess back to cleaning...

I don't really have a low amount of anything...but dang, did it nail it right on the head with WRATH. I do have a short temper...lol

BTW, I stole that from LostSoul13

Here's what I got for Valentine's Day...it's an Alpine CDA-9886.



It's gonna go in my new car (my Jetta has an Alpine in it as well that they don't make anymore). It's gonna be cool... but the only drawback is that it won't play my ZUNE. That's okay though...we had an extra iPod laying around that we're just going to gear up in the new car and it'll be good to go. It's peachy...

I don't think we're going to go to Orlando anymore, but we're still going to try and get away for the weekend. We're thinking Estes Park. BUT, I was looking around for pictures and now I really want to go Whitewater rafting...they have places to go down in Cañon City, but I don't really want to stay down there. That's where the Colorado Prison system is and as appealing as staying around the prisons is, I don't really want to. At least up in Estes, we're a few miles outside of Rocky Mountain National Park...and we can go visit the Stanley Hotel (where they filmed the Shining...it's haunted...WILL NOT BE SPENDING THE NIGHT THERE)...I don't know. Stuff to think about...

Anyway, my eyes are tired...and I'm tired...and I'm going to bed.

I'm so warn out...I seem to be in pain for some reason, but that isn't anything new. I think I'm getting some bad heartburn, so I chewed up some Gaviscon and called it an evening.

Melissa and I went downtown tonight and ate at Rock Bottom. I had a beer and a half and it felt okay...not like I needed a beer, but I just needed one after today.

I took a few pictures when I was down there...they aren't anything spectacular, but I love Denver at night (especially downtown)...it's very quiet.



The trees are all still lit up...it was purty!



You can see that we were right in the middle of the map...we rode the shuttle all the way up to Tremont Street and went to the Virgin Megastore (see below):



I bought a case for the Zune player...and then we rode the bus back down to the Tabor Center...and left.

Here's the other pictures I took down there:



There are cows all over the 16th Street mall...this happened to be the one we passed. I think this is the cow that's been all over the world!



We rode the unlucky elevator. It's wasn't that bad...the parking garage is under the Tabor Center...and since Rock Bottom validates your parking, we didn't have to pay a nickel! It was peachy!

Anyway...

I'll leave you with a picture of Gregory, future race car driver of the future!!! Look for him driving race cars near you!

I'm bored...but what's new?

I think I'm going to go to Orlando around the end of May or something. I want to go to Disneyworld and Universal Studios...since I've never been.

We'll see if it happens...

Has anyone ever heard of this project called "E Nomine?" I was listing to Pandora one day and it came on...and I really liked it...then I was listening and was just completely blown away by their other stuff...

I'll post a video here...



For all you non-german speaking people, "Mitternacht" means "MIDNIGHT." From what I understand, this guy is just in all of their music videos and he doesn't do any of the singing...is it just me or is this guy fucking HOT?! Watch the video...around this part in the video (2:19)...he looks up at the screen and you about melt!!!





WOW...I've about drooled myself to bed...lol

Just watch it...I bet you'll like it...it's sort of catchy!!

I'm going to the eye doctor in less than 2 hours. I'm excited for the fact that I get to go to the eye doctor and will actually be able to get a prescription that doesn't make my eyes hurt...not excited that we will be paying full prices for Brian's stuff...but his glasses are older than mine, so I think it's worth it. You can't tell me that he doesn't get headaches and all that...poor thing.

My toilet got fixed the other day (HOORAY). I all I can say is...took long enough you apartment bastards! They must have knew I was talking about them because they came over fast that day. Was done before I got home...and they even fixed the other thing that pissed me off about the toilet. It wasn't mounted correctly to the floor or something and every time you used it, it felt like it was going to fall over or something. It was constantly banging against the wall and whatnot.

Anyway...enough potty talk. I'll be going to Colorado Springs later for Brian's grandma's birthday...we're not going to stay long...but look what I have to deal with coming home:



This is an actual picture of the I-25 sinkhole that we got on Thursday night (right before the evening commute practically...it was a nightmare).

Here's the most recent picture (they've been working 24/7 to fix the stupid thing:



I-25 is the major freeway that runs through the entire middle of Colorado. It is a very important thoroughfare and it really sucks that this sinkhole is blocking 3+ lanes of traffic.

According to the little description next to the last picture, "Denver Water employees work to remove a section of a 66 inch cement water main pipe Friday, Feb. 8, 2008, that broke Thursday in Denver, Colo., on Interstate 25 north of downtown. The water created a massive sinkhole and buckled a large section of the highway. Workers are making a temporary fix to the road so that traffic can use two lanes of the six lane interstate highway. " http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23071128/displaymode/1176/rstry/23060085/

They're letting people use the toll lanes for free during this time because there really is no other option going northbound on I-25. It's right at 58th...I live at 128th, so I have to go past it to get home...58th is practically when you start to go north of downtown. BIG MESS I TELL YOU!!!

Anyway...that's enough for now. I think Gregory is stirring...I've got to get him fed and ready to go before me myself have to get ready to go.

So, not yesterday...but the day before that (at 5:30pm), I contacted the apartment community to let them know that my toilet was spewing water all over the bathroom.

They told me they would mark it as an emergency....I waited....and waited...no one showed up the day I called.

I called Brian yesterday at 12pm..."Did they fix the toilet yet?" The reply was no...SO, I'm mad...I call them...they set up a maintenance ticket. They specifically ask "Is this your only toilet?" and I respond that it is my only toilet...I told them, come after 5...I'll be there...I waited...and waited...no one showed up yesterday.

So much for a fucking plumbing emergency. We jimmy rigged the toilet to work because we have no other toilet to use. As far as we know, the water is not leaking all over the bathroom the way that we have it, but who knows if there is not some other leak that we do not know about. We have renter's insurance, but I do not think that this is our fault. If major water damage happens, I will fight paying the deductable because I did notify the apartment community that our toilet was leaking and they DID NOT come out and fix it...as urgent as the matter was.

I am livid...I want to break my lease and move out. This is fucking ridiculous! I lived in an apartment where if they did not come out and address the maintenance requests within 24 hours, I got free rent until I did receive the maintenance that I had requested. At that apartment, I had wasps that were coming into my house from an unknown location. They had to come out more than once to remediate the problem and they came out within 24 hours EVERY TIME. The current apartments I live in now have no such policy...they piss around for hours, days, weeks...even MONTHS...before they address an issue...yet, when they want to tow your car, they'll do it in 2 minutes. I fucking hate them...

The staff is rude and inconsiderate. They are not willing to work with you...they talk down to you. They cannot relate to absolutely any of their tennants working there. They make unreasonable demands...i.e. leaving the garbage outside of your unit is unacceptable and your trash needs to be put in the trash bins located at several locations on the grounds...their one flaw with this is...the trash bins are never emptied...they are FULLY LOADED with garbage...you can't fit it in the trash bin, you're not allowed to leave it on the ground next to the trash bin...you can't leave it outside your door in the breezeway (you'll get a $50 fine...per bag that they find outside of your unit)...where do you put it? In your house?!?! The whole point of taking the trash out is to take it OUT of your house...but we'll get fined for that...

We're not allowed to park in the same parking spot for more than 3 days at a time. If we do, they'll come tow your car...they towed my car because of that (what if I come home and I park in the same spot every day...is it my fault that it is open every time I come home??)...

I wonder who I can go to other than the management company to exercise my rights as a renter in regards to my maintenance request...I am fed up and I want out...and I do not feel that I should have to pay the penalties. I've lived since August with the rude and unacceptable behavior and I WANT OUT!

I posted before I left in the morning...and well, it went WAY slower to get to work that I had really expected. People were driving like there was about 3 feet of snow on the ground. I was 15 minutes late...jerks...oh well

In other news...my friend from Denver that I've known FOREVER (he was the cousin of my ex boyfriend back in high school...I've talked to him since I was about 14)...we're going to go and catch up. The last time I saw him was 2004 (the early parts) when I just moved out to Denver from Washington. It has been a long time and I am so glad that we got back in touch. I had the biggest crush on him back in high school, but that's another story...and I've moved on since then. Still, it's nice that he still remembers me and wants to talk after all of these years. We had some good conversations...and we played an online MUD for a couple of years (The Eternal City)...text based MUD...fun stuff...had to use your imagination. He saved me MANY times in the game. Great stufff...

BUT YEAH...

I should be on my way to work since, ya know, it's probably going to take me longer...and I really have to pee and I have to go to work to do that...fucking toilet!!!

I leave you with a picture...have fun



I wish I was like terapanda...as lazy as he is, he always gets out and does stuff (like going to the beach, rolling around and swinging)...me, lazy = do nothing...lol
