Next time I’ll just wear them in the shower.

Thursday, August 4th, 2005

This evening a decided to throw a pile of clothes in the washing machine in an attempt to turn them back into items that I could wear out in public without disgusting everybody within a 40 meter radius of myself. I tossed the collective filth into the machine and walked off back to my computer for a few hours before remembering I needed to transfer everything to the dryer. I went back to the laundry room, opened the washer and dryer and pulled out the first shirt on top. As I went to put it in the dryer, I noticed little bits of white stuff all over it and upon closer examination, I realized what it was. I had left something in my pocket.

Shit.

I began racking my brain trying to figure out what I had left in what pair of shorts. Having absolutely no clue, I finally decided my best bet was to try and piece together this mystery piece of paper. Here and there I found small clumping of paper the size of fingernails, but of course I couldn’t read shit on them. I was lucky if I could make out one letter on each scrap, much less a word. And heaven forbid a single piece of paper stay intact when I touch it instead of crumbling under the crushing weight of my index finger. This fun game went on for ten minutes before I lifted a sock and spotted my savior…a piece of paper double the size of a quarter! I ran and grabbed a flashlight, less I want to touch it with my acidic hand and destroy the only remaining piece of evidence of whatever the fuck this thing was. I shone the light down in the washer, squinted to see what was on the scrap, and saw a part of my school logo.

Oh yeah, it was that stupid letter from USC. I didn’t need that anyway. I did, however, need the 20 minutes I wasted trying to figure out what in the hell it was.

The kicker though? I completely forgot to put in washing detergent, so I had to do the whole load over again.

The lesson here is to never do laundry. It’s pointless.

Back from Seattle.

Just a filler post for now. First off, I want to apologize for the tagboard bogging down Shyzer over the weekend. I know some people couldn’t even get the blog or any of the pages to load. Luckily, Tagboard had the problem fixed by the time I walked in the door from Seattle.

Second, I have no idea where my webcam is. It’s packed up in one of my many boxes around the house, so I just threw up an old cam picture over there. It’s from early 2003, so I doubt many of you were around for it the first time. In fact, I’m guessing all of zero of you would have even recognized it was a recycled picture. I should have just kept my mouth shut.

As you can see, I’m back in South Carolina after an awesome 5 days in Seattle. I’ve got a few days here before I go down to Columbia to graduate this Saturday, then it’s off to the beach for four days and then……then……time to get a job.

Son of a bitch….

I’ll try and get a few posts up this week, but in all honesty, 90% of my effort is being directed towards a new site that has been in the making since April. I want to launch by this time next week. But fear not! While in Seattle, Chong and I made some interesting travel plans for the end of September which shall be fully revealed in due time. Of course, they involve going to a foreign country where neither one of us knows the language and renting a car to drive to another foreign country where we still don’t know the language, so there shall be plenty of hilarity to share. But I’m getting too far into the future here. Now, I need sleep. Tomorrow, I shall post. Until then.
