Neighbor

21 Dec

My neighbor is currently banging around his apartment, yelling things like “Fuck!” and “I DARE you.”

(I don’t think there is anyone else in the apartment with him, so I am highly curious as to who he is daring to do what.)

These shouts are accompanied by what sounds like bowling (?), scraping noises, and things being thrown.

Once I heard him having sex, and the young lady he was…sexing starting singing a Bruno Mars song after it was over. I had to Google the lyrics to make sure, but yes, it was Bruno Mars.

I feel as though I lost the right to complain about neighborly matters when the arsonist downstairs torched my old apartment. (While I was inside, but that’s a post for another time.)

Really, all I feel like writing about lately is Melrose Place.

I have so much to say: the haircuts, the convertibles, the backstabbing…it’s all too much! On the episode I’m watching right now a character has AMNESIA and there’s a briefcase full of money! Why can’t my neighbors be like the ones on MP? We could all hang out and have pool parties and occasionally a few scandals here and there.

Anyway, would you all still read this if it was a completely Melrose-centric blog for awhile? No? It’s ok, I rarely follow through with these ideas anyway.

Passive Aggressive Christmas Gifts

5 Dec

So far, I have bought zero Christmas presents this year. Well, I did order a pretty badass leather jacket for my boyfriend, but that was mainly because my Ambien kicked in before I went to bed. And because of love, or whatever.

Anyway, I bet a lot of you are sitting around stumped. You are so stumped* about what to buy for people you secretly despise but are, for whatever reason, forced to buy a gift for. Well, you don’t have to be stumped any longer because I made you this list. Consider yourself un-stumped and consider this my Christmas gift to you.

*The word stumped makes me giggle.

Um, so here’s the list.

1. Scary doll

Give to: Your bratty niece.

No, that’s not a picture of a real baby. It’s a doll. A creepy, disturbing, way too realistic for comfort DOLL. According to the website, “The nostrils are opened so the baby can breathe and also gives a lifelike baby finish.” …so the doll can breathe. Imagine it in your room at night, all lifelike and shit. Oh, and it has veins and stuff too. And some of them come with fake heartbeats. This is a good gift for a kid whose parents you also secretly despise since the doll is creepy to both adults and children.

Where to find it: Here

2. Yams

Artist: Natalie Dee

Give to: Your annoying coworkers during the company Christmas Potluck

Yams are the most disgusting of all of the foods. The canned variety…sorry I can’t write about this anymore without feeling sick.

Where to find it: The sketchy grocery store down the street.

3. Willow on DVD

Give to: Random person whose name you drew for Secret Santa.

Willow is the lamest movie I’ve ever seen, and not even in a “so lame it’s hilarious” way. Everything about this film is crazy annoying, which makes it a perfect present for someone who is also crazy annoying.

Where to find it: Bargain bin of any big box store.

4. Membership to an inmate dating website

Give to: Your friend or coworker who spends every. single. minute. whining about being single.

InmatePassions.com is an actual thing that exists.

From the website:

“Whether you spent a little time in prison, or the local jail, or you are under house arrest, Inmate Passions is a site where you aren’t judged for your past mistakes, but rather, you are accepted regardless of them.”

Enough said.

Where to find it: The internet. Duh.

5. One-Way Ticket to North Korea

Give to: Your loud, obnoxious neighbor.

This will only work if your annoying neighbor is completely clueless, but it’s worth a shot. Just tell him Kim Jong-i throws the siiiiiickest parties. Merry Christmas, bro!

Where to find it: Air China appears to be your only option.
