the house next door is for rent. they won't be making it available to live in until the first of next month, but i'm curious who is going to move in there. i think it's a bit pricey for a 3 bedroom, even if it does have a fenced in backyard, because you can't even have a dog. what's the point of the fence if you can't have a pet back there? also, have i mentioned that our street name is kind of ridiculous? part of it is spelled "vue" which is soooooo annoying. it means you have to spell it out every time you give someone your address; the pizza guy, the phone company, the dmv, etc. everyone gives you the stink eye or sighs when you start to spell it out, then you get to the "vue" part of it and suddenly they realize you aren't a condescending bastard, you just live on a dumb-named street. i tried to talk a friend of mine into moving into the house, but he rightly said, "no way, the rent's too high and what's with your street name? was "kountry kubbard" taken?"
before we get new neighbors we want to put up our own tiny fence or something to block part of their view into our backyard. not so we can have crazy caligula themed parties back there, or start putting cars on blocks, but because there's this weird gap where they can see where we do all the gardening stuff from their front yard. we think putting up a trellis for peas and beans and other climbing plants should do the trick. it will give me especially a little more privacy, so that whoever moves in next door won't have to constantly see my ass crack as i bend over the garden. really, the fence or trellis is more for their sake than mine.

My parents put up a fence (the only fence) in their backyard and it caused such a huge neighborhood STINK. People are weird. Haven't they ever heard of that phrase "Fences make good neighbors?"
I linked to you on my blog today. Check it out.
