Some brand new goodness over on CarlosJacott.com. If you guys haven't been reading the comments for the past few entries, then you must really be one pathetic piece of crap, as they have all been awesome.
Allow me to take this moment to congratulate my mailbox on successfully achieving a death grip on my mailbox key this afternoon. I struggled with it for 20 minutes before I gave up and told one of the maintenance dudes. This means two things. One: I am the gayest resident here. Two: any sort of Sword in the Stone-esque rewards are going to him, and not me. Even though it was my key, and the rewards were probably destined for me, and now the maintenance guy is flying over Austin on a jewel encrusted dragon. Whatever, I'm not going to cry about it anymore.
But anyway, in the 20 minutes where I was struggling to get my key out of the key hole, a lot of residents were checking their own mail and wondering what I was up to. The first few people, I just told them what was up and they were all friendly about it. As I got more frustrated, these exchanges quickly devolved from "Hi, this is my mailbox and I can't get my key out of it," to "Having a little problem here. Stupid piece of crap," to "I'm gonna kill you, bitch. You can't stop me because I'm from the streets and I'm crazy!"
However, once I finally got my key out and had the opportunity to look at my mail, all the frustration was worth it. It was a check for a million dollars and a Carebears Valentine from Carlos Jacott. He says I'm his Lionheart. Not sure what all that entails, but I'll take it. Have a good weekend, homediddlies.
