The homecoming that sucked

Dear Dirtbag Who Broke Into the House of an 88-Year-Old Man with Alzheimer’s:

I hope whatever parts dangle from your body whither and die. I have no idea what you were looking for in the mess you scattered across two rooms, but I sincerely hope it was gonorrhea and that you found it. As far as I know, my Dad does not have gonorrhea, but there’s a lot of stuff in that house, and he WAS in the Army, so you never know.

The fact that your scumbag hands even touched my mother’s wedding album makes me want to sterilize it before I open it again. My one comfort is that the bag you rifled through and left on the bed was full of cat shit not that long ago. I hope you bite your nails.

That is all.

Sincerely,
Dirty Hooker

‘Crap yourself in a blanket to keep warm’

As an editor, I love reading what other editors are doing. As a jerk, I love it more when I can point and laugh at those editors for being retarded. Check out these “11 Most Painfully Obvious Newspaper Articles Ever.” Then crap yourself in a blanket, if you still want to.

Homeless, briefly

So last week I locked myself out of the apartment when I went downstairs to do laundry. I was stuck out in the hallway for 3-1/2 hours in my bare feet with nothing but a bucket of laundry detergent until Devon came home, because my pride wouldn’t let me use a neighbor’s phone to call him to ask him to come home and let my sorry, forgetful ass in.

My pride hates me.

When I told him the story, he was all, “You’re going to blog this, aren’t you?” And it seems like a slam dunk, what with me taking a nap in the hallway with my laundry-detergent bucket as a pillow. But the truth is, it actually wasn’t so bad. A neighbor supplemented my bucket with  some socks, a cereal bar, a jacket and some magazines. Another neighbor let me hang at her place for a bit before her daughter had to go to sleep. So instead of a series of misadventures, I have a story that renews my faith in community, and a pretty dull blog entry.

Damn you, community!
