Comment on blog playlists.....
I was just blog-stalking and I realized that I had a comment about music people put on blogs. Not based on blogs that had music but based on a blog I read about the truth of various things. Blog playlists are kind of annoying, although I usually have my sound turned off so I can't hear the music anyway-but when I do hear the music I've noticed a trend.
It seems like every blog music list must contain the song "New Soul" by Yaem whatever and "Bleeding Love" by Leona Lewis. That's all fine and great-except I hate that "New Soul" song with a passion-I don't know why, but it falls in line with the Colbie Callet song and a bunch of other chick songs that if you knew me you would think I like, and yet I really can't stand.
Now on the flip side I have had my own playlists on occasion, but they have actually related to my most recent post at the time, and then when it starts really annoying me (usually after a week), I take said playlist off.
And that's my comment on blog playlists for the day...

Comment on the Cat Situation
So a month ago or maybe a little longer I can't remember, a single mom and her 4 girls moved in downstairs (keep in mind, it's a 2 bedroom apartment, the same size as ours). That's about the time we noticed that 3 cats also moved in.
Now these cats were running all over the place, aka the stairs up to our apartment, and they liked to try to get into our apartment. In fact, one time one of them did get into the apartment which Lisa and the home teacher had a good time getting rid of. Because this has been a situation, we wanted to actually talk to the neighbor (aka homegirl) in person just to say hey, is there any way you could keep more control of your cats. I tried one night but she didn't open the door, but Lisa caught her a day or two later and the lady said she didn't realize that was happening, and she kept seeing them coming from upstairs when she called them and she wondered what was going on, but anyway I think she said she'd do something about it-I don't remember.
So we go to Las Vegas, and when we came back, we noticed that homegirl and co. had a new puppy. We thought that was kind of weird since they already had 3 cats AND a stay-over boyfriend (who looks mean and stares around at us), not to mention the mom and the 4 girls in the 2 bedroom apartment. This became a bigger situation when they left dog alone for the first day and he proceeded to WHINE all day long (this is great for someone who works nights and is trying to sleep). The whining proceeded to the dog throwing himself against the door in an attempt to get out. I like to think of this as animal cruelty myself, but whatever. I'd like to point out that the cat situation did not change, although only one cat was seen roaming the streets and our stairs, the other 2 have been inside.
So Lisa and I go to renew our lease for the year, and we mention that the neighbor has 3 cats and a dog, after we notice that the rules are 2 animals per apartment and that cats must be on a leash or in a cage when outside of the apartment (their words, not mine). So the apartment management says they'll talk to homegirl about the situation.
Fast forward to last Saturday when the cat was continuing to follow us around and attempt to get into the apartment. I call Adagio and say hey, this is still going on-they apparently know about it because the woman on the phone says-is this the neighbor with the three cats, ok we'll take care of it.
Fast forward to today. Now I have been out of town, but Lisa has continued to have situations with the cat. Then today when I got home from spin the cat met me at my car, followed me up the stairs (touching my leg the whole time) and attempted to get into the apartment with me. I called Michelle at Adagio and opened a can, threw out the words animal control, had to apologize for taking it out on her, etc. I was ticked. Michelle said that homegirl came to the office (I guess she'd received a notice or something) and said that the cat had accidentally gotten out that day. I told Michelle that the cat had accidentally gotten out every day because every day we have this problem. And so Michelle said she'd take care of it. Then she called back (she actually thought I was Lisa so she called Lisa) to verify the woman's apartment number, and Lisa expressed her annoyance at the cat. So hopefully something will be done.
I should say that I don't want to be one of 'those' neighbors who complains about everything, I mean I don't mind the dog downstairs (except for the whining-I really feel bad for that poor puppy in that crowded apartment locked up all day), and there's another dog downstairs acrossed the hall who is huge but he's very well behaved, no big deal. but the roaming cats are an issue-if the cats wouldn't try to come upstairs then I wouldn't be so worked up. Anyway I decided to document the cat situation when I got home from wal-mart, the cat appeared out of nowhere and started sidling up to me and trying to get in, and then you have to lift it with your foot and get it out of the way. It is a serious problem.....
