Ill portents for 2009

[TVC15]

So, I was going to go buy some groceries and liquor and maybe a game.  I left my apartment, walked to my car and realized I had locked my keys in my apartment.  My landlord could not be reached--it is New Year's Eve after all.  So I had to call a locksmith.

But he was taking to long, and my stomach was a chundering with might quakes.  So I did what any person would do:  I puked repeatedly in the dumpster behind my place, which probably wasn't a good idea since the smell of the dumpster probably set me off even more.

Then the locksmith came and opened my door, and my cat came rushing out.  I paid the locksmith (100 bucks for about 2 minutes of work, and he was drunk, too), and spent ten minutes chasing my fucking cat around the building, and then I puked more.  The end.

Looks like it's suicide for me.  Again.

No New Year's Eve at the Party Mansion? 

Sorry, man.

If it makes you feel any better, I think I'm getting sick.

[TakingBackSunday]

[Van Cruncheon]

party like it's 1988

[Van Cruncheon]

How do you lock your keys in your apartment?

tvc is like the opposite of me.  a continental breakfast is all it takes to make my stomach churn with mighty quakes and projectile shit my pants

How do you lock your keys in your apartment?

lock your door from the inside, close the door behind you

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Although it isn't as bad as Prole or TVC, the guy who lives on the floor above me is currently banging his super obese girlfriend loudly.

This doesn't bode well for 2009 at all.

The Lord of the Party Mansion had other plans. I'm with some homies in Redmond.  There are inebriants and singstar abba. I will probably bail soon because I have a headache and kinda want to catass persona.

Damn dude, you're only 35, not 90!



TVC, hope you got your cat back.  Happy New Year, I hope this one is better for you.


edit:  If it makes you feel better I've had a nagging pain in my head for a couple of days now.  We're pretty sure it's brain worms.

[TVC15]

Well, my pain comes from needing one last root canal, so that will be taken care of in early January.  This wasn't a bad year, per se.  I'd say it was a pretty good year, in most respects, for me.  The best in a while, even, maybe since 1999 or 2000.  But it's funny that I'm sort of on a high as the rest of the world is on a low. 

For what it's worth, I don't honestly hope that you die of brain worms. 

[TVC15]

FUCK.  I dropped my wireless headphones.  No big deal, I figured.  I picked them up and saw that the plastic casing came off the left headphone.  Looking closer, I saw that <sigh> the recharging unit int here had also jostled off.  Once these lose their current charge they are useless

So that's another 120 bucks-ish.  Plus I had to buy a new router, another 100.  This was a FUCK EXPENSIVE New Years.

Yeah I guess that can happen if you have one of those little knob locks that you twist into position before exiting.  Every house or apartment I've been to has always had a deadbolt that you had to lock from the outside, so I didn't think it was really an issue to get locked out.  I guess it happened to Lewis Tully in Ghostbusters.  I will now picture Rick Moranis whenever I think of White Man doing anything.  I used to picture David Tennant  :'(

[TVC15]

It's not the only lock on my door.  I have a deadbolt, too.  I just don't lock it unless I'm going to be gone for more than a half hour or so.  I thought basically all places had a lock on the knob itself?

[Yeti]

I never lock anything from the inside for exactly that reason. I learned this lesson at a tender age when my dad locked the keys in the van while on a vacation to disney world. We were in a McDonalds and there was the dirtiest homeless person I've ever seen who was begging for money and saying he wasn't dirty because he washed his hands with bleach. And he did wash his hands with bleach.

I thought basically all places had a lock on the knob itself?

Yeah, I actually looked at the front door on my apartment and there's a knob lock there too.  I guess I've never used it because of the danger that I might lock myself out.  Plus most knob locks are ridiculously easy to pick. 

I'm kind of a lock-freak anyway though.....I secure the deadbolt just to take the trash out.  The thought that I might come back and have my apartment infiltrated by some psychotic hobo that was lingering on the upper floors of the common areas is too much stress.  You should watch some home invasion movies to help solidify your paranoia and reinforce reliance on foolproof deadbolts.  Have you seen Funny Games or The Strangers?

[muckhole]

I keep a spare house and car valet key hidden in my wallet. They've saved my ass a few times. Of course if anyone swipes my wallet, I'd be fucked and it would be a mad race home to change all the locks.

You live under Methodis?

He's pretty obnoxious so he very well could be...

[T234]

TVC, we were totally gonna call you and sing Talking Heads and Brian Eno, but I didn't know yer phone number. I drunk dialed pretty much everybody last night.

[TVC15]

Annnnnd power just went out in my building.  It's only the 1st!  364 more days of this!

[Bocsius]

My car was broken into last night. I'm not sure they even had to break into it... the doors may have been unlocked. It's rare that I forget to lock the doors, so I don't know. No windows were broken, though, so unless the people are running around with whatever gets you into locked cars, the doors were unlocked. Oh freaking well.

Anyway, the person or persons did not get much. The only thing of note I know that is gone is my old Xbox, four controllers, and Halo 1 and Halo 2. They were in my backseat because they were used at an all night New Years thing at my church. I can replace Halo 1 and 2 for $30 just by going to Best Buy, so that's no big deal. The Xbox hurts a little bit, mainly because I'd feel better hauling that around than a 360 whenever split screen multiplayer opportunities arise, but whatever. Those opportunities are rare.

They went through my glove box and middle compartment, but I'm not sure anything of value was in there. I have placed a fraud alert on my credit file in case they try to get me with ID theft.

2009, yeeha!
