Remember that scene in "The Money Pit" when the bathtub falls through the floor and Tom Hanks can't stop cracking up and it's the funniest thing ever?
Well now you do. (Bonus: French subtitles. "Un petit problem!")
Anyway, one of my best friends in the entire world recently sent out this series of emails and when I got the final one on Friday I laughed my ass off. It was very bathtub falling through the floor.

So I'm all moved in thanks to the invaluable help of smart and strong friends! There is only one (well two) problems. First, I have no cell phone reception in my apartment and second, my door buzzer does not work. Basically, I'm cut off from the rest of humanity. I probably won't be able to deal with these issues until after Thanksgiving so if you need to reach me call before 5:30pm, okay?
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Hello everyone!
My new landline was installed today so I can now be reached in the evenings!
Hope all is well.

Hello everyone!
So. I did have a land line for about a day. I no longer have the land line for reasons that stress me out too much to talk about. While the folks at AT&T are very kind, they are also very incompetent.
I have decided to switch my cell phone service to one that will allow me to get a signal at my apartment. I will be able to keep the same number but I won't have that service until early next week.
To review:
Do *not* use this number.
Continue to use this number.
Thanks! I'll be talking to you soon!

Hello everyone!
I just wanted to send an update about the Phone Debacle (as it will hence be known).
UPS has really messed up and a package I should have received on December 20th has still not arrived. They are now promising Wednesday but I have lost almost all faith.
You may be confused if you have been calling my number and getting the voice mail. My new phone will have the same number as the old but the old cell is no longer in service. I know. It's confusing.
The best way to reach me at this point is via email or at work. Please don't think I'm ignoring you. I promise I will call when I can.
In the meantime, Happy New Year everyone!!
