I came home from work yesterday to find that someone had put flyers all over my building for a poetry night on the roof, $5 a head...and neglected to tell the owners of the building. The management put up a new flyer next to the other one stating: 1: This is a security building, 2: No matter what the flyer says, we don't own the parking spots across the way and you'll be towed if you park there, and 3: Anyone who doesn't have a key to the roof and isn't a resident found on the rooftop will be booted out.
For a change, I agreed with management on this one....Not least because they were making money off a place they didn't even bother to rent, and any poets that showed up. (Not only that, but if I wanted to hear bad poetry, I can do it for free at Dunn Bros...)

While I was doing laundry, I saw two people putting up new flyers changing the event to the coffeeshop down the street. (I uhhh...hope they mentioned it to the coffeehouse...)
While I was in the elevator one of the girls apparently responsible for organizing this shindy kept bugging me by saying over and over, "You gonna go? You know, you should go. You gonna go?" I looked at her kind of strangely. She seemed oblivous to the laundry basket and detergent I was carrying, and miffed that I showed no enthusiasm for her poetry night. It was all I could do not to say, 'Honey, if your management skills don't improve reeeeeally fast, grumpy laundry people will be the least of your worries."
I don't mean to sound curmudgeonly but...sheesh!

Anyway, back to the Maushaus I went to make MsMausi's marinara sauce, corutesy of the fresh tomatoes a cow irker gave me. Of course I shared with Ben the Neighbor.
(I didn't share Pod People, though...I mean, I was serving dinner here!)
Mmm, Pod People..."Trumpy, you can do stupid things!" Heeeeheehee!

This morning it's the 3-d House of Leftover Pasta!!!

That was a fun gathering, even though we were granted little peace by the poets and the Garrison Keillor of Fargo. Next time we get together, I wouldn't mind a little second hand smoke in my red wine instead of bad poems in my coffee.
