  • To all my friends who make fun of my PBS addiction:


    I fixed the toilet at work today!  Thanks to the many episodes of Ask This Old House I have watched weekend mornings, I have almost memorized the mechanics of home toilets.  Since this is a small office, we don't have any shmancy commercial toilets, but a normal one that kept running and overflowing.  With the knowledge I gained from ATOH and a butter knife I was able to stop the leak and thus stop the overflow.  I RULE!

  • major props Katy! I have one question thought... did you wash the knife after you put it in the toilet?

  • No.  I threw it away when I was done.  You can't wash toilet water off....it is always there.

  • it's so true, could you imagine watching on of your co workers butter their bread at lunch... maybe if it was someone you didnt like... but I think even the GEneva convention has rules against using utensils that have been in the toilet.  good job!

  • Well, I'll just have to classify them as "enemy combatants" in my "war on ignorance" and then I can do whatever the hell I want, right.

  • Katy, you've won. I went to comment on scott's blog and ended up having to set up an account on this thing. So i may or may not end up with a blog. we'll see.

  • Oh, and so my toilet leaks, it's a problem with the internals not a crack in the porceline. Basically, if you don't use it for a while the bastard starts to leak from the top. is that a screw or something that needs to be adjusted? I'm guessing that since the time frame/sounds makes me thing that even though the bowl stops filling the well in the back keeps on going. answers of mighty queen of home repair?

  • I really like the track 'Galvonize' by the Chemical Brothers and it inspires me to clean and fix all sorts of things, but I don't think I'd be brave enought to fix a permanet fixture like a toilet or shower or sink. That's why god gave us the yellow pages and white out and scotchtape on the 9th day (because lets face it, he took a long weekend after creating all of creation and crap all week.)

    I said something to one of the guys in my office about god (with specific lower-case 'g') creating sellotape (what the brits call scotchtape) on the 9th day and he wanted to have this big philospophical/religous debate, as he is apparently v. religous and of course, like any good LSC student, I was totally ready for it able to call up all sorts of stored information that I didn't realize I still had in me and totally won the whole thing, but now all he wants to do is talk about f-ing Christianity and blah blah blah one true god blah blah blah. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... My own fault? Probably.

    In unrelated news I forgot to resend that chocolate so I did that today to 123 and a book I think you should read, if you havn't already. I also recommend 'The Ninth Life of Louis Drax', which was tres excellent (which is french for v. good).
