Swanky

My landlord has been spiffing up the place recently, putting an ugly picture up in the second floor hallway, and an even uglier picture up in the first floor hallway. He also put down a new mat for the front entryway, and the interior door that has a habit of not latching now bears a sign: "For security purposes, please pull this door shut behind you and make sure it locks." This, I assume, is in lieu of actually fixing the door.

But in the spirit of making the place a little more functional, I spent 15 minutes of my weekend replacing all the candle bulbs on our dining room chandelier, 7/8 of which were burnt out. But one of the new ones burnt out as soon as I flipped the switch—bastards. So we are still at 7/8, but at least we're now on the desirable side of that. I also bought a new shower curtain liner to replace the old one that was frankly getting kind of gross.

And speaking of landlords, a two-flat down the street from me has a "For Rent" sign up which includes the following specification: "No Smoking-Pets."

WTF is a smoking-pet? Like this?
