At least I *think* it was her.<\/p>\n
Oh. I don\u2019t think you know who that is, seeing as I didn\u2019t tell you about her yet. The apartment building caretaker\u2019s unit is right next to mine and well, he\u2019s a short, kinda smallish black fellow who seems nice and all but nearly every night I have to turn up my TV to hide the screaming noises coming from next door because whoever he\u2019s nailing, she\u2019s either a supa-dupa drama queen who knows how to yell and scream good enough to git her a Oscar like Halle did, or else he is packin\u2019 a baseball bat. I told my super fun gay neighbor friends about it, one of whom pshawed me, \u201cHoney, no way she screams like that! He couldn\u2019t be that good, I\u2019ve SEEN him!\u201d I summoned that same friend just after Thanksgiving. I went over and knocked. When he came to the door I grabbed him by the hand and, putting my index finger to my lips, brought him into the hall between his unit and mine to prove it. You could hear that shit OUT IN THE HALL. It was just like an episode of Sex & The City. Boy was he surprised!<\/p>\n
Anyhoo. Back to the screamer. She and he were in the hall, as he was locking the door on their way out someplace. He said \u2018hi\u2019 to me and I said \u2018hey\u2019 back. She just stood there looking frumpy. She is but a \u2018lil thing, and white as the snow! She sorta resembles a high school kid, at least her manner and dress did.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s been goin on\u2026like you care:<\/p>\n
Finally saw Mean Girls and Bend It Like Beckham this weekend. The first one was about what I expected, but Bend It was great, and a happy movie. Very teenybopper-ish on both counts, but fun anyway, and better than housework any day. More tv than I have watched in I dunno how long.<\/p>\n
Shit is knee-deep \u2019round here. Work sucks. It\u2019s paying well but I don\u2019t like the hours and GOD is it ever boring. On the plus side, there\u2019s this guy there, we\u2019ll call him Ben. He\u2019s one of them funny whiny liberals who try to argue with you on the bus, in the hall, at the water cooler, basically everywhere, so long as you are a milimeter over to the right from LEFT wing. He gets all red-faced and practically has an aneurism whenever I see him \u2019cause he\u2019s so upset at what he calls the \u201cTerrible state this country\u2019s in because of that cokehead mafioso Bush!\u201d. I forgot what Ben\u2019s name is (really) but I know it starts with a B. I called him The Angry Inch until yesterday, when I decided to start calling him CNN because he spouts breaking Commie News Nuggets every so often. A bunch of us were in the breakroom the other day stretching our legs and getting more coffee when I overheard him talking to someone else and I couldn\u2019t hear what exactly he was saying but it was something about exit polls and voter intimidation. This girl I was talking to laughed after I asked her to repeat something because I said, \u201cSorry, I was listening to CNN over there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lest I forget to stay positive! Happy new year to all you sinners\u2026here\u2019s hoping you stick to your silly resolutions and whatnot. Seriously. You have my best wishes.<\/p>\n
