This past weekend Bobby "Kitten" Martinez, Joshular Thumbson, Gorgeous Jorge and I sweated and huffed and puffed to transport a bazillion pounds of belongings from Riverside to North Campus. This was all done on behalf of the lovely Caelie J. Dunn-- aka Charlene, Lady Charles, Caels, Callie etc.
In a masochistic weird way, I enjoy doing grunt work to help people. But this was even more fun because of all the characters I enlisted to help. Imagine your favorite cartoon…and then get back to reading this post.
Bobby and I had an awesome time getting couch-blocked by three different thrift stores: Goodwill, Salvation Army, and St. Vincent de Paul. Goodwill said they couldn't sanitize the mattress in the sofa bed…FAIL! (though I should've just pretended like it was a regular couch.)
The snobbish clerk pointed us to The Salvation Army, who acted like they were gonna take it, but "Nah man, see these worn parts, we ain't gon' be able to sell this." But apparently, Goodwill referrals are common: "They always be doin' us like that." FAIL X 2!!
"Okay, one more try…" we thought. NHOMBRE! Saturday May 23rd decided to pwn the couch mission-- construction only in front of the entrance to St. V de P. EPIC FAILURE!!!
We came back to the apartment and tossed the whole, perfectly good, furniture into the dumpster and it stuck straight out. This was after we lazily briefly looked for a shanty town to furnish. That was a failure too but since we didn't try our pride could remain severely wounded instead of decimated by the shame of being brushed off by transient superciliousness.
On the plus side, I humored the "honk for Jesus" sign-people and was convinced that it was really for some vato on the corner looking for someone to give him props.
