To unemployed New England bunnies: if you have a spare room, need help paying rent, and would like a month-to-month or week-to-week arrangement, I need a place beginning June 7 or so. Hopefully, within commuting distance of Boston.
Warning: I snore like a bull moose shot in the ass with an arrow dipped in bee venom, but my usual sleep cycle is 6 am to 2 pm.

Bush.

When I was all set to go , when I had my bags and all, I stood for a while next to the stairs and took a last look down that goddam corridor. I was sort of crying. I don't know why. I put my red hunting hat on, and turned the peak around to the back, the way I liked it, and then I yelled at the top of my goddam voice, "Sleep tight, ya morons!" I'll bet I woke up every bastard on the whole floor. Then I got the hell out. Some stupid guy had thrown peanut shells all over the stairs, and I damn near broke my crazy neck.

I had a deeply strange experience recently. I was surfing YouTube when ... ...I come across a venue I know and a band I kinda know so I clicked on it. It's going okay until the chorus kicks in and one of the backup singers sounds EXACTLY LIKE ME. Not kind of like me, exactly like me. He even has a little talking part so I know it's not just singing style. I can't make him out but it's a similar build and hairstyle ...
