Damn you thief!

So last night after work I met Matty and we went to Modell's to buy Phillies shirts for us and his family as we are going to a Phillies game tonight and thought it would be nice. Yeah, very us, I know. Then we went to Nodding Head for dinner we had a Rasta Man chicken sandwich (jerk marinade, pepper jack, spicy aioli, fried plantains) with spanish fries and a Montego burger (bacon, boursin, pickapeppa sauce). I had a glass of the Phunk (amber in color, rather dry and complex (5.5%ABV)... inspired by the sour beers of Belgium... fermented using multiple yeast strains, lactobacillus and several types of brettanomyces... sevred unfiltered) and Matty had the Zephyr (inspired by the Altbiers of Dusseldorf... copper in color with a herbal hop finish).

The shower is fixed! The hole is patched! There is a new access panel in the ceiling to hopefully stop the making of new giant holes in the ceiling. And we are now lacking one of our lights which is unfortunate because it was the one right over my side of the couch. But we can live. The are painting today. But there is a new twist in the apartment dilemma. Which sort of came to a head last night. When we moved the couch to give space to get at and repair the hole we noticed something a little odd. There was a 1 foot by 1 foot piece of carpet missing. Gone. The pad is still there. The carpet is not. This is under where our couch usually is and since the couch hasn't been moved (by us) since we moved in almost 2 years ago, we have no idea for how long this piece has been missing. Contrary to what Matty thought (I am not sure how) the patch has been cut out and the pad underneath is also cut down to the concrete in most places. So we asked the landlords, hoping they had done this and neglected to tell us (them being hippies and all). And they were as shocked as us. Because honestly. How does a 1 foot square piece of carpeting from under a full size futon go missing? So if any of you thought it would be cute to remove this piece of carpet, could you at least let us know why? Because our entire downstairs (minus the kitchen) is wall to wall, one continuous piece. Which means that the entire carpet now needs to be replaced. And since we can't prove that we didn't do it, that means that we lose our security deposit. At least. So I would at least like to know why. Thanks.
