I really thought we had their goddamn trespassing asses kicked this time, but no: somebody knocked over one of the barriers across the hedge and got through.

I am so tired of this.

Superintendant's response: call 311 and call bylaw on them. 311 says nope, that's a police matter, call the non-emergency line. Police say nope, you have to be the owner of the property to make a complaint, and in any case there wouldn't be much they could do unless we knew who was responsible, and it's really a city matter anyway. Called 311 again, and they say nope, that's a police matter, and anyway there's nothing they can do if the landlord doesn't want to put up a fence.

FOR FUCKSAKES.

Went to the office, where the lady suggested talking to the office manager, but seemed pessimistic about our chances of actually accomplishing anything. So I wrote a sternly worded letter to give to the office manager, but I suspect tying the barricades to the hedge would be more productive, especially because I'm afraid this will only draw the landlord's attention to our barricades and lead him to demand we take them down.

This is the one thing that has been a problem in this place. The ONLY THING. But I am so far at the end of my rope with this that I am tempted to look into moving, even though we can't really afford it. I don't know what else to do about it anymore.

To Art in the Park, or not to Art in the Park? That is the question.

I have enough nice stuff to submit an application, and I am somewhat encouraged by the pictures on their website, which seem to indicate that not everyone has a zillion items on display. I'm afraid to register and then find out I can't get enough stuff done, though. My pace to date is not encouraging. (My Two Trees mirror, however, is - finished chopping the pieces tonight and it is going to be gorgeous, even if it is going to be a big fat pain in the ass to make from this point on, what with the zillion pieces of mirror that will need coating in nail polish.)

Yo mmmgrappa - wanna wield a camera for me sometime in the next couple weeks??

I just don't know if I can commit to this with so much stuff going on!!! Pottery I can put off if I have to, but such is not the case with Savoy or flute choir or my goddamn french class...for which I have a presentation due on Saturday, oh joy.

And work has of course chosen this exact moment to explode into a big ball of stupid insanity, for which reason I should really get to bed. Ugh. I will think about this more tomorrow.
