Reasons to move to the South-West, continued.

Our water pipes froze and burst in five places. Luckily, I found out before they thawed, and managed to slice and replace the bad bits before there was any significant water damage (mind you, that room can probably take it - it's a weird shed-like area under the bathroom, and only a week ago it flooded completely when the regulator broke on our washing machine). I am the soldering fucking queen.

I thought at first that insulating the plumbing was going to keep me from going out to the Slow Andy gig last night, but in a last-minute fit of "fuck it," I left the taps on slow, grabbed an outfit, and tumbled into Matt's car. Once there, I proceeded to get very drunk. I woke up with a hangover. Mormolyke is getting old.

Aren't the Police apparently also reforming for Coachella?

A program with that nuclear symphony would go nicely with 'Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima.'

Something I learned to do - though haven't had to do it with my own home - is that when its supposed to be really cold outside, is to keep your water running, even just very slowly, so that way it cannot freeze in the pipes and burst...
