heatless, not heartless

we had no heat for the past 24 hours.
discovered this for sure last night around 1030PM.
problem is now solved at 6:15 PM. the ignition thing was shot, so we had a new one installed by the building's maintenance guy, Rey Reyes. haha his name is funny. reminds me of a spanish teacher at my high school named Gus Gusman. too funny. anyway, it just sucks cause my whole day was spent FREEZING and waiting for this repair man to show up. at first he told us 1pm. then 330 rolls around he said he'd be here at 4. then finally showed up around 445. ugh. i was supposed to go help Caitlin with her speech project thing. i really wanted to be in her Concert Etiquette (examples of what NOT to do) videos. sigh.

just heard from Shannon about an hour ago. she had her heart surgery this morning. she was all doped up, but still coherent enough for conversation. i was really worried about her. so much shit has been going on health wise for her lately. the brain tumor / radiation therapy. now this heart valve thing. all within the past year. i'm so glad she pulled through. i guess in order to repair the problem, the doctors had to stop her heart, and apparently had trouble restarting it! frightening.

my cousin wrote a new song. its called "Losin'" and its really good and i've listened to it like 10 times today. its not online yet otherwise i'd post a link here. but be on the lookout for a guy named Matt Klein someday.
