That Creaking Feeling (05 Jan 2006 at 23:54)

You know how sometimes the guy in the apartment above you is doing some construction or something and you are thinking, dang, that guy is being so loud and violent that he will probably break the ceiling? Well, sometimes that does happen—see picture of stuff closet #2/3, clicking if you like for a larger version.

Looks like he dropped an anvil.

There must be some hidden message there. That hole's shape reminds me of Nebraska.

You think there's a message hidden in the ceiling?

I'd check but I don't want to void the warranty.

That Freaking Ceiling? (ip68-97-127-98.ok.ok.cox.net) – 01.07.06 00:10:21

In a long-ago apartment, whenever my downstairs neighbors got too loud I'd pick up my weights and drop them on the floor really hard a few times. It shut them up, but fortunately never left a hole (much less a message-bearing Nebraska hole) in their ceiling.

Dang, Farina is so world geography powered or something--I mean unless it looks like a boot no physical object I see will ever remind me of Italian geographic shapes. Sorry Italy :(. Nebraska IS the hidden message state though. Omaha Beach.

I'm thinking it looks a bit like Iowa -- what is it about those midwestern states?

They're all shaped like rectangles, or nondescriptly river-damaged rectangles?

Anyway it's fixed now! I just need to sweep/vacuum up the plaster...
