kittenpants gone, triadruid and I have been having a minor festival of Doing Things She Wouldn't Want To Be Involved in. So far, we've gone to see Land of the Dead (which was a little like the civil rights movement and/or the marxist class struggle, only with zombies), cleaned in the kitchen, cut zylch's hair in the kitchen, and eaten red beans and rice. Later, there could be whiskey. We can, of course, do all of these things when she is home, but she makes faces at us for some of them, and won't kiss us after we've been drinking whiskey, so it's uncertain whether there's any percentage in it or not.
Also,triadruid has offended the water demons at EHQ. Saturday night, he looked cross-wise at the downstairs toilet while re-installing a toilet paper holder and caused it to flood in Biblical fashion. It reportedly flooded not only from the bowl, in the way of normal toilet-flooding, but also from the tank, and from underneath the bowl, just for spite. On the plus side, it was clean water.
Then, yesterday, he apparently offended the kitchen sink demons by asking the sink to function as a place where dishes could be washed. This resulted in the faucet coming out of the sink in his hands, and a piece of something underneath the sink snapping off, causing some leakage from the pipe.
I'm pretty sure we can fix the sink thing. The toilet thing may result in the demolishment of the downstairs bathroom and its conversion into a closet. Maybe. I was pretty resolute about that yesterday, but then I had to pee at 4:30 this morning and had to navigate the stairs in the dark half-asleep. So maybe some reconsideration is in order.
