Spree

29May09

My bank account has earned me eight cents in interest this year. Which is a few hundred more than my 401k earned me.
What shall I recklessly blow my $0.08 on? An extra text message?

Walked to the local Catholic church only to find it closed.
Bemoaned the fact that the Catholic churches seem to have a monoply on holy water.
Taped a mirror face side down to the inside of my front door.
Rang a bell in every corner of my house.
Put a line of salt in front of my door.
Wondered if [...]

Walkie Talkies

29May09

It had been suggested a time or six that Lola and I belong in a zoo.

It’s a good thing we didn’t stop and feed the fish. ‘Cause you’re not supposed [...]

“Why do you let me TALK?!?!”

26May09

Drea – *knocks*
Neighbor – *opens door* “Hello.”
Drea – “Is your roommate here?”
Neighbor – “He’s in the shower. What’s up?”
Drea – “Could you tell him we stopped by? I live next door, he’ll know who you mean.”
Neighbor – “Okaaaaaaaaaaaaay.”
Drea – “Tell him I’m sorry, I was a bit drunk last night, and maybe a bit obnoxious-”
