What's Andy Cooking?

More than you know

I've been home a few times today and I still haven't taken my jacket or scarf off. This is a sign of two things:

One - that it's butt cold in my room. When you peek into the attic from the closet, you can see the underside of the shingles running the whole length of the roof. In other words, I guess our landlord is too cheap to buy any insulation whatsoever for this house.

Incedentally, I think he's one of those ambulance chasing lawyers. I have had alot of respect for lawyers in the past - Peter's dad being the coolest one I've ever known (that's by social association, I've also heard that he's one of the best environmental lawyers around by reputation. I mean, he's written a bunch of the city's law on the subject. That's what I hear anyway). Steven Davies, however, is the epitome of scum-sucking legality that gives law that awful reputation. What kind of lawyer uses has his secretary take care of all the house maintenance? By that I mean she takes our complaints and seems an awful lot more knowledgable than Davies ever is, not that she physically cleans our house or something. Still, what a fishy fucker.

Two - that I haven't had time enough to stop and relax in my own house. Working on the weekends is not all it's cracked up to be I think. The money is nice, though. Really nice.

Also, I've been spending a few hours each day visiting my dad who is in the hospital recovering from surgery. On Wednesday he had three inches of his colon removed in order to take out a polyp that caused him some trouble Tuesday night. He's doing well, and it's not cancerous which is a damn good thing. It's funny seeing someone who's supposed to be so invincible in a hospital bed like that. By funny I mean scary.

Incidentally, this is the same reason I haven't updated recently (you'll notice that my lack of posts corresponds with the timing of when I got the message that my dad was in the hospital). Soon, however, I plan to do some writing of my own - and perhaps even sponsor a discussion forum - on what I like to call Scandal in the Shadow of the Mountain. More to come on that tomorrow hopefully. Just know that some snooty east coast bastard has gone dissing on my city, and now there's hell to pay!

And now I'm off again for some good loving in the library with Mark - quantum style!!
