June has been a pretty terrible month. I&#8217;ve seen the Sun no more than 4 times the entire month, and celebrities have been dropping like fly&#8217;s.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is not a post about their divorce. I honestly could care less.</p>
<p>I used to like their show before they got huge. I liked it because it was genuine. They&#8217;ve lost that touch over the past 2 seasons.</p>
<p>It seems like every other episode is nothing more than a 30 minute infomercial disguised as a reality show. It&#8217;s annoying to me because it almost insinuates that their viewers are stupid enough to believe that Jon &#038; Kate really love Crooked Houses and that it was all their idea to buy them. </p>
<p>I used to be a weekly viewer until they decided that I wasn&#8217;t smart enough to see that they only used their show to peddle wares under the guise of entertainment.</p>
<p>To be clear, I&#8217;m not against product placements or anything to the sort. I am against misleading your audience.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you&#8217;re about to do something that will affect other people in their places of living, you should probably give them notice.</p>
<p>My landlord has turned off the water to my apartment 5 times that I know of in the past 45 days. He is doing renovations on his apartment and I am assuming some of those renovations require that the water be turned, which is understandable.</p>
<p>What I do not appreciate is NOT knowing when those days are. I do not like waking up in the morning to take a shower, turn the handle, and no water comes out.</p>
<p>Not only can I not shower at this point, I can not brush my teeth, do my hair, nothing — day ruined before it began.</p>
<p>What he should be doing is giving his tenants (me) notice. A quick note on my door telling me a few days in advance that the water will be off all day would suffice.</p>
<p>Stacia and I need to find a home to buy soon.</p>
