Ready....Aim....
The fire alarm went off in the middle of the night.
I have been well trained by the now evicted, and hopefully dead, kids in 1207 to blatantly ignore the sound of the fire alarm. But as those little shits from 1207 have been gone for a while, I at least do the sniff test, and the hit the balcony and wait to see how the firefighters react test. So I headed to the front door to sniff, and it smelled like...burning Nair. Or maybe Neet. Either way, that's freakin' rank.
Grabbed The Kid and twenty layers of clothes, and headed down the stairs. As we got closer to the ground, the burning Nair smell was gradually covered with the odour of rotting fish. Burning rotting fish. And Nair.
Firemen came, and within half an hour, we were given the okay to head back in.
Moral of the story? If your fish is rotting, dosing it in Nair then lighting it on fire is not a good means of getting rid of said fish. We have insinkerators here people. Use them. Love them. Or just clean out your fridge more frequently.
Nair is never the answer.

Sara! I'm giddily excited to see you blogging again. Welcome back.
If you missed class today..you more than earned it...
Argh.
I think those kids used to live in my old building on 8th.
Did they pee in the elevator every Friday night?
Then make it all worth while one Friday when, after peeing in the elevator, they rocked it, getting it hung up and themselves stuck in it for hours on end? And getting themselves busted for the deed at the same time? And quite possibly making them the stupidest people on the face of the planet?
ha ha...my lord, they must have been the bunch that lived in my apartment building at one point...
They really get around, don't they?
