I still don't know what's up with all the news crews. I'm home now though, so frankly I don't care. It's nice to exhale. The office is stale these days. It's still filled with negativity. Everyone is unsure of the future and that generally puts moral in the shitter. My landlord pulled a smooth one today. When the door dude finished replacing the door, he told EL that he wasn't authorized to give her a key to the deadbolt... something about one less lock the landlord will have to replace when we leave or some such nonsense. I guess the terms of a lease don't apply when you're in the last 30 days, eh? Tis o'tay really. I have a padlock on the outer gate that the landlord doesn't have a key to... it's all the same to me. I just hate being a dick about it. I was especially surprised to hear this after all the work EL is doing around here for the owners of the house... not because she has to, but because she is just a good person that wants to help them. They show no appreciation. Good riddance. Anyhoo, we're about to roll out for some chow chow. Michael and I had dumplings from the egg roll Nazi at lunch. On the way there, we stopped by his pad to upload a photo he did for EL and I to put in our wedding invitations... really nice... anyhoo, I saw a cool flower out of the corner of my eye as Michael and I strolled by and I wanted to snap it. Believe it or not, a security guy started to try to get us to leave! I guess taking photos of flowers is offensive these days... even those bordering public city streets. Anyway, the shot was rushed and didn't turn out as well as it could have, but here it is:





Off to dinner!
