Concerto of the desperado

Wes and me are convinced Old man Frank tagged along with me to LA. The last week more than a few things have occurred. What you ask? Actually I don't care if you ask, I'm gonna write about it anyway. On Sunday Wes, D, and me are in the living room (which also doubles as my sleeping quarters) when we hear a Crash! Bang! Boom! Bam! (no really it sounded just like the words- trust me). So we go investigate because we don't heed the warnings from horror movies that when you go investigate you end up hacked to death. Nothing seemed out of place in Wes' room where the sounds originated. Until Wes checked the bathroom. Turns out Old man Frank decided he didn't like the cabinet over Wes' toilet and decided to throw it on the ground. Wait there's more. Monday D is using the oven when all the sudden  it starts going on the fritz- He can't open the oven and the timer is going on the fritz. It turns out that old man Frank had decided the oven was dirty and it needed to be cleaned. So he put the oven on self clean mode. Tuesday D and me get home and I try insert my key into the door to open it. I had used it in the morning to lock it but when I tried to open it, it wouldn't work. D then tries to use his key. Same thing, his key isn't working either. So we call Wes thinking maybe he had decided he didn't want roommates after all and had changed the locks. He of course hadn't because he secretly wants to be Mexican and having three Mexicans residing with him at present is the closest he will get. He tries his key and his ain't working either. Turns out Old man Frank wanted some solo time apparently and had reset/rekeyed the lock. Without a working key, Wes can't rekey it. So now he has to wait until kwik set, the lock manufacturer mails him a new lock. Later that night as I am sleeping, I hear all these noises coming from the garage and Wes' room. I thought he might be getting brutally attacked, but being a minority and knowing that in horror movies the minority doesn't fare too well, I decide my best course of action is to just throw the blanket over my head and make myself invisible. I figured Wes might be able to hold off old man Frank with his patented Navy Seal choke hold. Since we used the oven last night and tonight, I guess OMF decided that the oven needed more cleaning, so the oven went on self clean mode by itself again... That's why folks we need to hire the Ghostbusters. If they can take down the Stay Puft marshmallow man I hope they can take down Old man Frank. Old Man Frank by the way is the ghost from my house. He once appeared to both D and me on separate occasions and once decided that my alarm clock should go off even after my friend Dan had unplugged it and thrown it across the room. True story.

I feel like a slut. I cheated on 24 hr fitness tonight. Wes took me to Gold's gym tonight. I have to admit the equipment there is much nicer and newer than 24 hr's. They even tried to court me after and ended up giving me a shirt which I am wearing now. But while I might take their offer of a 30 day pass and a free hour with a personal trainer, I will end up going back to 24 hr- if she'll still have me. I mean in the end there are more of them, I use more than just the equipment there, like the sauna and basketball courts, and well they have basketball courts. Although a first for me did happen there in the history that is my life. I did a mile in under 8 minutes for the first time ever. Not even in high school when I played baseball and basketball on the daily did I do that. I could probably do it faster too since I had it on one of the harder levels. Think I will try on Friday on flat ground to see how fast I can do it (yeah I am pretty Fn proud so I had to share)...

I was able to find what both Danny and Sofia asked for Christmas and pretty easily tonight. Danny is really into a series of books called the Warriors- not the awesome '70s movie but a book on these waring tribes of cats or rabbits or some sort of regularly thought of wussy animal. Sofia like Puya is a Michael Jackson fan and she wanted the Michael Jackson Experience game for the Wii. Found it super cheap on Amazon and with free 1 day shipping so it will be delivered just in time for Christmas. Wes is gonna do me a solid and drop off the set of books for me tomorrow...
