GOD HATES US
SOOOOOO. Hello everyone.
I apologize for getting your hopes up for the promised spectacular illustration of the past few weeks’ events. I have not been able to get the picture accompaniments proper in order thus far. However, I will have some kick-ass (to quite Mr. Castillo) work up soon! Like really soon, and then everything will be back to NORMAL.
In the meantime, to update those of you who have not been updated on our not so normal trip to Baltimore, here is the lowdown:
Since our former Canadian boss at the big IM put a hex on us after we left the company, disabling our ability to live normal, natural, carefree lives; we have been subjected to gargantuan, at times humorous, amounts of BAD FUCKING LUCK.
A few of those times include: our van bit the dust in the hot, fly infested, desert mountains outside of Salt Lake City, Utah.
Of course taking place a Saturday when apparently Utah mechanics don't work...and they don't work on Sunday either for obvious reasons. Therefore Alicia, Seth, and Glamorella stayed a night in Tremonton, Utah in a quaint little MOTEL called the Sandman Inn...wood paneling, one-eyed dog, the works.
The next night after riding for 2 hours with Cody, the AAA guy, to Salt Lake City, Alicia, Seth, and Glamorella stayed in the more corporate, not as kitschy, Days Inn. That Sunday, we visited the Uhaul establishment with only the Devils own workers behind the counter. Because they don't like god any more than we do, they rented us a very old, very tired, very broken truck, which we proceeded innocently to load our ENTIRE life into. The next Monday, we sold our $4000.00 van for $200.00 and returned to the Uhaul, now bustling with several of Salt Lake's finest God fearing workers, who politely scolded the previous day's transaction and gave us a newer, larger truck, which we then proceeded to load into our ENTIRE life again. That evening, we remembered that CODY had told us about "Crown Burger" and how "effing" good it was so we gave ourselves a break and split a char broiled pastrami burger. AND it was effing good, thanks CODY.
Now in a more cramped cab, Alicia, Seth, and Glamorella proceeded to Baltimore in a 17-foot Uhaul truck that received about 7 miles to the gallon. Luckily, they put Ethanol in the gas in Ohio so it was about 2 cents cheaper!
After two 15-hour days and one 10-hour day we arrived in Baltimore, freshly riden' hard and put away wet. We proceeded up the staircase with our ENTIRE life in hand only to notice that our apartment had not been cleaned. After two days of moving and cleaning, our hands chipping away from cleaning chemicals and carrying heavy boxes, we slowly unpacked dishes and trinkets and NOW are finally enjoying our life here...to some extent.
As stated, I will have a more fun, colorful blog tomorrow or the next day...or... I've made amends with the big guy upstairs so ONLY good exciting things can happen now.
very soon...
