Greetings from the 5th avenue "lion" library. I finally bit the bullet and reloaded the operating system onto my desktop, so now it has gigantic fonts and a recycle bin and that's it. It can't even get to the 'net through Explorer. Constant thwarting, this has been! I'm just thankful I'm not a one-computer household and now that I have an ethernet cable, I can hobble along with the Toshiba.

This thing with my apartment is the weirdest, I haven't heard from my landlord whether they're going to fix my flooding or not. Meanwhile, yesterday, I noticed mildew creeping up the wall from behind a base board. Kind of bolsters my opinion (in opposition to the plumber's) that the flooding was seeping in under the base boards, doesn't it?

Yes, I'm at the library, which means I'm doing work. Yesterday I was working on the musical, so when I got home, I checked out the WWE for inspiration. There are two guys who are like 50s greasers, combing their greasy pompodores, accompanied by a girl sidekick on roller skates. Another guy has, as part of his costume, a Breathe-Rite brand nasal strip. I'm also reading Amity Shlaes' new book about the Depression, and I think the question is the same for both--where is the bottom!?
