I got stood up last night (moi...!) How utterly boring. A nice contrived phone call or email with some hideously drawn out excuse would have been nice. At least it would have given me something to laugh at. Save a very small (read: I can count them on one hand) group of people, I am consistently meeting douchebags in this grand state. As an aside, douchebag was never part of my vocabulary until I moved here either. This foul place is forcing me to come up with all new terminology to relay my experiences. I think I've created a small book of jive since I've arrived.
I went to an Estate sale yesterday. Those are always fun, though I can't help but feel a bit overwhelmed at the effort behind it all. It's difficult to imagine what it must be like to have to go through your entire home, or as is usually the case, go through someone else's home and separate, organize, and price every little piece of knick knack crap that's been collecting dust in some desolate closet for a decade. I overheard that one of the owners of the aforementioned fine piece of home was deceased and the other in a nursing home. The ladies running the show weren't even family, and not having seen any pictures anywhere, I'm wondering if they had any.
In the end, it's all just 10 cent junk and someone else's headache.
Time for coffee...must venture out into the world.
