And what was just the punchline for this joke shop magic trick

[sovay]

Right, this afternoon's love note from the City of Somerville's Department of Infrastructure and Asset Management indicates that our sewer service will be interrupted for maintenance next week. Would someone please direct me to the nearest Venturus so that I can punch him in the head?

Good lord.

You have a water curse. That's all there is to it. Which is, of course, weird since water's also your element, but I mean, what the fuck?

The gas main would be air and fire. The sewer might also be earth. I think we need an all-purpose exorcism by now.

Good point.

Apparrently SO. *Sheesh*

At this point I'm waiting for them to cut down our light poles.

Ye gods on pogo sticks. I may have been thinking of Archer's Goon already; your luck did not need to double down on the allusion.

thisbluespirit has been worrying about my two thousand words for some time. I consider it a hopeful sign I was able to engage in commerce earlier this evening, but am still planning to be out of the house for the return of the plumbers in the morning.

Oh no!! I was too late with the 2000! Or it was supposed to be your 2000, which would of course have the proper deep irony. *hugs*

I am so sorry. I really hope the entire local authority stops ganging up on you soon. And also that the plumbing finally gets properly fixed!!

I did this evening finally watch a movie I really want to write about.

With deep apprehension, I'll keep you posted.

[edit] I think we are in a DWJ meta-plot: I just followed a song from one of my music blogs and it contained the line "Dig a moat around my life, that'll fix it."

From time to time, this does happen. *nods* The middle of Archer's Goon was just an unfair trick to play on anyone.

Aw, well, that is something. All you need now is the magic typewriter!!

[rosefox]

Noooooooo!

[sovay]

Noooooooo!

We're not thrilled.
