Had no hot water this morning, because 2nd floor neighbor had a gas leak yesterday and National Grid forgot to turn the pilot light back on under the boiler, after shutting it off. Asked the Brits on the first floor what was going on. They gave me the scoop, and said the Gas Company would be back between 4pm-Midnight. (I'm not kidding). Luckily they showed up around 7 or 8, or the poor family downstairs would have had issues. They have two little girls. Can you imagine - having to stay up til Midnight and bring the gas man in with two little girls? I have an international apartment. My landlords are Chinese-American (one by way of Canada), the 2nd floor neighbor is Turkish (and his family basically speaks it, by way of upstate NY - they still have a place in Ankara, Turkey), and downstairs neighbors are British, complete with accent and citizen documents in the mail. At any rate, I washed my hair with freezing cold water...thank you 2nd floor neighbor.
The Good Wife was excellent tonight. It is amongst the most realistic and consistently..well written television series that I've seen in ten years. Oh, and here's another first - it features strong and diverse female lead characters.
( Excuse me while I babble incoherently over the Good Wife. I seriously doubt this will make sense to anyone who didn't watch last night's episode. LOVED it. LOVE the Good Wife. IF you don't? SHOO! )
