Let the Search Begin

Phil | April 16, 2008

In accordance with the diagnosis I received yesterday, I decided it’s time to rid myself of some of the causes of stress in my life. The doctor seemed to think that being in school was cause for a great deal of my stress. Contrary to popular belief, school doesn’t generally stress me out. It used [...]

Trash Talk

Phil | April 10, 2008

There’s just no pleasing some people. My strict policy of laissez-faire home economics was called into question today by She With the Clenched Butt Cheeks.
Clenched Butt Cheek Woman: Um, Phil?
Phil: ….
A minute later
Phil: Oh, did you say my name?
CBCW: Yeah.
Phil: What’s up?
CBCW: Could you take out the trash sometime? I mean, I find nine [...]

Oh wait, you actually use that? I had no idea.

My roommate approached me just now with yet another “issue.” I like how she waited until after Robert went home to spring this new assault on me. Actually, in that regard, I am genuinely grateful.
I’m starting to think that she’s making things up, or else planting evidence to attempt to use against me. The knock [...]

And by the way, the toilet is meant to be decoration.

It’s currently my spring break, and much fun has been had for yours truly. My friend Vina has been in town and we’ve done all sorts of things: walked the beach on the windiest fucking day in the history of California, drove 200 miles and nearly saw some amazing sequoia, flew to the moons of [...]

There’s no point in having a large face, unless you’re Big Ben

My roommate has the biggest, gaudiest clock in the history of the universe. No doubt she bought it because bigger is better. You can tell she bought it within the last five months or so too, because she’s clearly never experienced a time change with this, the Cadillac of clocks.
Generally, I’m not terribly bothered by [...]

By ‘clean’, I meant I’m one step above ‘pig sty’.

In some senses, I suppose I’m adapting well to my living situation. While on the one hand I really like it, there’s the other hand to consider. The other hand being my roommate. My roommate who, because she’s just so interesting, I’ve diagnosed with a never-before-seen condition:
Bipolar Anal Retentiveness
I can think of no other explanation [...]

Off Target

Phil | February 17, 2008

I don’t think I’ll ever understand some of the culture of this place. Or maybe it’s just that I live with someone who’s extraordinarily anal retentive and obsessive compulsive. Both? At this point, I have no way of knowing.
Part one: As I’ve started to settle in here, I’ve been working really hard to get all [...]
