broken flowers and no hot water

My house has no hot water, and hasn't since Friday. Maybe longer than that, but I don't know for sure because Friday was my first day home since Aug 21 (12 days!) due to vacation and then the house was tented for termites and I couldn't enter the premises. I suspect the lack of hot water is a result of something to do with the tenting stuff. My roommate/ landlord is at burning man till tomorrow or the next day, so I am in a pickle.

Yes, I could call a plumber to figure it out, but on a holiday weekend they'll charge me a gazillion dollars to come do something silly like re-light a pilot light or something. I'd rather spend a gazillion dollars on something else, so I did what I think any other girly girl in my position would do. First I screamed bloody murder while finishing up the shower where I made the awful discovery. Then I booked appointments at a couple of spas in santa cruz for every day till Tuesday. For $15 bucks I can sit in a private hot tub for an hour and relax, then take a shower and be on my way. Yes, I could go to the gym to take a shower for free, but it's a holiday weekend and I have been camping either in a tent or in my VW camper for 12 days, so I felt like spoiling myself.

In other news, I saw Broken Flowers tonight. Very good, but the end was confusing to me. I couldn't remember which chick they were talking about by that point, and then it ended without me ever understanding what happened. It's a problem I have with movies in general, so I certainly hope I haven't tainted anyone's thoughts about this movie. I'd highly recommend it. Bill Murray is fab, and Sharon Stone looks GREAT!

Didn't she look AMAZING? My god! Tilda Swinton looked strangly hot in that black wig too.
