thanks snappy and arkady for doing such a great job with the graffiti clean up. yesterday when i got home was pretty funny. i usually get home around 630 and the super came to my door (but didnt ring the bell?) and the dogs started barking (i saw him thru the peephole come to my door but then walk away) so i went out to take out the recycling and asked him if he got my note. it seemed like he didnt understand my note and i think he thought i did it so i had to explain for a bit the situation, but he still pretty much looked at me like i had three heads…

snappy and arkady did the clean up just in time before the owner of the building saw who lives there. the super was like, oooh the owner will not be happy.. i think after explaining a few times he understood i didnt do it to the wall but that i did get some paint on the floor, anyway, he took a brick and started sanding away the excess that was still left on the wall and along comes a woman with a shopping cart… she stops and shakes her head and said i have something that will get the rest of that off!! she rushed to her house and came back with a can of some kind of paint remover and then chewed my ear for for literally an hour about the house she bought in the 80s on my block and all the renovations her and her husband did, like removing tons of wall paper, 20 layers of paint, etc.. (she went into excuciating detail, but she was super nice) she told me to take the paint remover and try it out on something and to just drop it off at her house whenever im done with it.

anyway, crisis averted, thanks!

the only thing is this one chick in my building saw me in the hallway yesterday and she said hi but totally looked at me with a jaundiced eye. i think she totally thinks i did it. 🙁
