« all i know is, there were rumors | Main | about me »
I will stand by all this drinking if it helps me through these daysHEY.
I am just simply never satisified. Cracky Neighbors are moved out, landlord says that I won't have new ones til August (August! no neighbors all summer!) and I'm still complaining.
There is a thin layer of black soot over my bathroom floor and half the kitchen. Landlord says it's because over the weekend (when I was gone thank god) there was DEMOLITION. On the one hand, dude, I missed demolition. On the other hand, BLACK SOOT. In the part of the apt I already cleaned.
But all worth it for the weekend we had. Starting Thursday night, house/cat sitting for Stacey in Prospect Heights with a) a rooftop; b) delivery and c) bottles and bottles of wine. Saturday a beautiful bus ride back to my own hood to hang out with Original Recipe Stacy, who was bartending. Ms PacMan Karen made me feel like a rockstar by flat out not believing my age and I caught a cab back to the Heights just as the skies opened up and spat out a warm, flat gush of rain.
Sunday, Anca came to town. We roped Ryan into abandoning his suburban duties so that we'd have 2 passes to the game, and we 3 + K-dub travelled up to the Bronx to see Godzilla beat Ichiro. We headed straight for the homeplate/net seats we scored last time and K-dub homed in on 4 about 20 back that remained empty for the whole damn game. Too many beers and a hotdog (how can something so very awful taste so very good?) later we were taking telephoto shots of Yankee asses and the Godzilla puppet guy, and then I saw my aunt's name flash across the Jumbotron. It wasn't actually my aunt's name, but someone with the same, crazy, uncommon first AND last name as her. I called mom and then we started coming up with our own ideas for Jumbotron messages.
Mandy, I want a divorce. Love, Todd.
Mom & Dad, I'm gay. Love Gary.
Yankees welcome the Yonkers NAMBLA Chapter.
Jennifer Bates, See you in court.
Daniel, I've been sleeping with your brother.
Anca, Ryan, what were the rest??
So today I was all weird and tired. More weird than tired. Somewhere around 4:30 I just hit a wall, all the energy just drained out of me. I felt all sensitive and delicate, like I'd gotten my feelings hurt. My feelings just spontaneously hurt themselves. I think I missed my apartment. So glad to come home to it, in all its soot-covered beauty.
