moving adventures!
Well, today I went over and helped Maarten move, along with my brother. It was great, being five billion degrees and all. I pretty much stayed in the old apartment and cleaned....all those boys had was a sponge, dishsoap, and some water in a windex bottle (I think they need someone to explain that putting water in the last bit of a cleaning solution is only for when you've run out, can't currently go and get more, but will probably in the next day or so. Just putting water in a windex bottle doesn't magically make windex. It's not Jesus.) I made Maarten go to the store and buy a mop, because otherwise one of us would have had to got down on our hands and knees and scrub the floor (that I don't think had ever been swept or mopped the whole year he lived there, considering they don't own one) with a sponge.
It was sorta fun though. I enjoyed seeing the new apartment. The whole drama with that place is really stupid. Apparently, two people had listed that the same apartment was for rent. It had been empty for a while or something, so it was listed at $275 (it's just a room in an apartment that is shared with four people, not a whole apartment.) Maarten jumped on it and signed the lease. Now it turns out, they accidently got two people to sign a lease for the same room. Apparently the other guy listing it signed a lease but didn't tell the company that owns all of them. So, the company was like "Oh shit" and had to scramble to find a room for the same price. They had to give him a room that was previously $350 for $275. So, that was really cool. And it's on the first floor, which is what he wanted more, because, well, sometimes you don't want to go up three flights of stairs. So I'm pretty sure that other dude is in trouble right now.
But now, because they hasn't been ready to sell the room they have to fix it up now, so they're painting it today because the last dipshit that lived there scraped off huge patches of paint, so Maarten can't actually move in, and he can't sleep there tonight. Tomorrow and Saturday we'll be riding around looking for a desk, lamp, and such for him, and unpacking all his stuff. Which is currently probably being rained on.
Lily totally messed up my internet settings by sitting on my computer. But then she looks up and purrs and such and I can't be mad.
Alright, I'm gonna go.
