Sitting here in my own filth. Have a leak in the hot water tap, which causes all my hot water to be wasted which leaves me with no hot water. Would replace the washer myself, however there is no way to stop the water to the bathtub. Had to call landlord. Must hide evidence of existence of cat before he arrives tomorrow morning. Oh good, am now covered in the fine dust of cat litter and cannot shower. Well, could shower but then would be cold.

Luckily have rented the first disk of season 3 of Sex and the City and so have been able to revel in feeling dirty. However am starting to get that insecure feeling that comes from watching the show that my wardrobe is disturbingly inadequate. Come on marxist values, don't fail me now!
