So, Sunday night was rather interesting... Laura and I have been on a scary movie binge lately, and on Sunday night we decided we would watch Stephen King's "It". Apparently, the movie is in two parts and (as most works of Stephen King) was about three hours long. So, we finished the movie about one in the morning. Laura had to print some sheet music for school so I accompanied her to the basement to do so.
A couple of our housemates were downstairs watching TV and hanging out, so we chatted with them a bit after Laura printed her music. While we were in mid conversation, water started trickling through the basement ceiling- then showered- and then POURED into the basement! It all happened to suddenly, there was almost 2 inches of water on the floor by the time we got out of the basement.
To add to the occasion, the water running through the ceiling triggered the fire alarm. SO at 1:30 am our house had to file out in the freezing cold as we waited for the Fire Department to show up and clear the house. On top of all this, our residence manager is out of own this week- so the RA's had to deal with a flooded house and fire alarm on their first night without the RM.
So, to stop the torrential rains in our basement we had to shut off the water- COMPLETELY. So, I went to Penn Station... to brush my teeth. Quite an adventure.
In other news, Christmas decorations are popping up over the city:
Oh, and by the way- the water is back on!
Until next time! Hopefully it will be a drier post...
