WEEEEEE HAVE AN ICE DAAAAAAM!!!!!! *ahem* Big surprise, right? We knew it was inevitable because of how much snow we’ve had already this winter. Plus the unit right next door had a crew out just days ago cleaning a dam off their roof. We’re finally getting into a forecasted long stretch of above-freezing temperatures and all that melting can only lead to one place. Right on schedule yesterday afternoon, water started running out of the…
TL;DR — Sara says FUCK a lot. July. There’s a four-letter word if there ever was one. According to my computer it is 9:17 AM on July 26th. And since this is the lead-in to the monthly Last.fm stats for June, the fact that it’s almost August should tell you how great of a month July has been for my brain. NOT GOOD, KIDS. It’s Week 70…ish. Are we still counting weeks? When do we…
I thought the water pressure in the bathroom sinks was getting weirdly weak, but as it turns out, the aerators were just disgustingly caked with water deposits. So after a few rounds in the Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner they’re like brand new. Or as new as a fourteen-year-old faucet can really be.

Listen. We’ve been over this. It’s pretty much a requirement as a native Minnesotan to incessantly talk about the weather. It snowed again yesterday. There’s supposed to be more snow this weekend. No leaks yet, but half the people who have reported them are in our specific building of six units, forging the theory that it’s not mere coincidence, but a product of being the last building constructed by a company on the verge of…
We went from a Polar Vortex with “historic” wind chills to the snowiest February on record. It’s like after a few weirdly mild winters Minnesota is all ZOMG I REMEMBER HOW TO WINTER GUYS LET ME SHOW YOU IN CASE YOU FORGOT TOO. And everybody is just Slow your roll, FFS. Remember the blizzards you dumped in April last year? We’ve still got two months here for snow to fall. We’re running out of room…
A few weeks back, I had a whole list of things in my head that I wanted to write about. And then… Nothin’. Par for the course. Listing… 1.) We finally bought a humidifier for the bedroom. It felt like the air got super dry super fast when the weather turned cold this season, and if last winter taught me anything, turbinate reduction is great for BREATHING, but not so much for maintaining…
