What happens when there’s no game night June 18
Well, CV and Vermonstrous and I, we grab some Nam Viet for dinner. And just as happened like eight months ago, when it’s the three of us we can’t get fucking served. We waited and waited and waited. The thing is, I think we’ve all been in the interim and had no problems - it’s just the combination of the three of us, they refuse to serve us. Awesome. Dinner took like an hour, and jesus fucking christ, we ordered a single order of spring rolls and pho, pho, pho. It’s soup, people. Spoon it out and bring it to us. Sheesh.
On our way home V let this dude in a Cadillac coming out of the parking lot at Cleveland Park pull out in front of her - which was fine, except, dude stopped on the way out, without looking at us or waving or anything, to light up what I assume was a roach. It may have just been the last remaining inch of a black ‘n mild, but I prefer to think it was a roach, as that is slightly less disgusting. Anyway - as we followed him up Connecticut to turn right on Porter, we noticed that he actually just cut straight through the Exxon parking lot, at which point we decided that we didn’t even care about the no waving or the pausing on the way out - that dude’s the man. I’m impressed, anyway. Dude has his priorities straight. Driving-wise, anyway.
So the bigger thing to note, I guess, is that we got citations from the city this weekend. No idea why they chose us, but between the jungle in front of the house, the accumulated junk in the back of the house, and the ‘abandoned’ rapist van, we had $3000 in fines pending unless we cleaned stuff up by tomorrow. So, I mean, we did, which was nice. BFlux called on Monday and sorted things out with his van. Actually, he did all the pulling of the crazy weeds in our front yard too, so Meat and I hauled the shit to the compost heap (I almost put that in quotes) in the back. OH BY THE WAY our garden: totally growing. I see jalapenos forming! No shit! Also: the melons are completely viable. They are doing very well. I think we will legit have some melons! The parsley is harvestable right now. There’s some basil surviving, the banana peppers are doing well, the tomatoes are fine, bell peppers and squash looks ok. Even the lemongrass and sage are ok! This is all very exciting for me. No sign of carrots or cucumbers sprouting - I think they do not get enough sun, as they’re all the way in the back. Next year we will have a much better idea. Right now we can’t necessarily tell weeds from crops, though we take our best guesses.
ANYWAY I don’t think we’re going to get fined. Also we cleaned out the fridge, which was very necessary. Productive evening. AND I think I might get to sleep before midnight. Good stuff all around, MBG. *pats self on back*.
OH BTW I am awful about going to the gym. It’s so early when I would need to go! So early! I have another meeting with the trainer tomorrow though, so that will be good. My weight is holding steady for the last, what, week or so, at like 326. Diet’s been fine, but exercise not really. Gotta get on it. Ok, end boring lifeblog.

Wait, $3000 in pending fines?! Wow, where did those come from? I mean, I understand the rapist van, I guess (though it was parked in a legit parking spot), and maybe the jungle in the front, but what was the “junk in the back”? (No comments from the peanut gallery)

The fines were assessed against the landlord, not us, since she owns the place. The junk in the back consisted of like a tire and the weird extra fenders we’d taken off my vehicle, a traffic cone, a car battery, a big plastic tub. So like, half stuff that was there when we moved in.

“I understand the rapist van.”
Teeheehee!
