Yes we live in North Hollywood but Burbank rolls off the tongue.
Also this blog now has a theme song. Kendrick Lamar's "B*tch, Don't Kill My Vibe." In the song Kendrick repeats over and over again to some dumb person not to kill his vibe. This is as close as you can come to talking to my land lady.
As I mentioned before the compound I live in is made up of two houses. The house I live in is run pretty intelligently. The back house where she lives is run as if an insane clown was in charge. Our cockroach problem got worst. However for some reason our problem was confined to our kitchen. The back house had a house wide problem. Perhaps if she closed the front door the bugs wouldn't get in. I bought a few insect products and traps. Not seeming to work we decided to 'bomb' the house. After we bombed the house we saw a decline in the bugs. The back house did not. As a measure to keep the bugs out of their food the land lady had everyone bag up their food.
Yes you heard that right.
They put their food in plastic shopping bags and tie them up.
And not just all your food in one bag. Everything has a separate bag. I saw a girl put a closed can of corn in a bag. I asked her why she was putting a can in a bag.
She gave me a thousand yard stare and said nothing.
Hey if I was driven to almost insanity from dealing with her an hour or two a day what could the poor souls that live with her be going through. For a minute I felt like the men at the end of The Fly (the original) when seeing the fly/man caught in the spider's web. Should I put her out of her misery?
Their kitchen has a mound of shopping bags on their counter. It looks like a small landfill....and she is proud of this. She suggests this to us as if it is a proud new discovery.
"You guys should put all your food in bags....it works for us?"
I look in their house and roaches are crawling all over their bags. Instead of fending them off you made them an amusement park.
After a few months they stopped bagging all their things. No one could tell who's food was who's.
