OT and i enjoy visiting the apartment of no return.

the actual inhabitants, Fat Filbert and Space Cadet, are our good friends but DAMN. the dudes have NO housekeeping skills whatsoever. think crusty...now double it...ok triple that, and you've got the apartment-of-no-return. their living room looks like the side of the road in santa paula at that one time of year when everyone puts all their old shitty sofas out on the curb. i don't even know how to describe the formerly-white carpet. they have a litter box in the closet and a food dish (complete with food) for the cat. they have not had a cat for over 6 months. the same container of Pitted Dates has been on their counter since december. but. BUT...their shower is completely stocked with a selection Panteve Pro V shampoos and conditioners. yup.

the other oddity of the-apartment-of-no-return is the Weather Channel Wake-up. yes, every single morning. i personally have never watched the weather channel. it is not hard to predict the weather, especially in SoCal. you stick your head out the door, and WAH-LA, you immediately know what the weather will be like all day and probably all week. end of story. not so, according to Filbert and Spacey. apparently it is necessary for the them to watch it both before bed and at 7 am at full volume EVERY BLEEPING MORNING!!!!
