Anyone remember the Pulp song called Mile End? Was in the Trainspotting soundtrack… Check this link for the lyrics (only no-popups site I found, sorry if it’s slow) http://www.lyricmania.com/l24922

Anyways, the reason I’m bringing this song up is because today, the elevator in my building smelt of cow manure… I mean, I’ve smelled horrible things before in there — rotting wet carpet, weewee, chinese food, indian food, varsol paint remover… So everytime now, it just makes me want to bust out singing Mile End. Don’t EVER move into this building — or the one next to it for that matter — because you’ll regret it. Sure it’s cheap rent, but it’s also terrible building maintenance! The cake pieces that were dropped on the floor in front of the lifts on my floor on Friday were still there Tuesday… Don’t they ever clean?

And the garbage chute! AHHH People just seem to dump their stuff in the garbage chute “room” instead of down the chute! Granted the chute door needs to be bigger so you can fit normal bin bags, but still, it’s incredibly disgusting!

So… yeah, won’t miss this apartment, this building, this city… I’ll miss a handful of people who I hope to stay in touch with… I won’t miss the winters, or the summers spent working inside over-air-conditionned government buildings, wishing we could be having lunch in a park or at a pub… I won’t miss living next to the Queensway… I certainly won’t miss the tv shows we get here… except maybe the hockey games…

9 days and this chapter of my life is over… 9 days and… damnit I haven’t started packing yet!
