Oh yeah, THAT Old Town. Be jealous. ANYWAY here's a list of what I've done so far today (it is now 11:50 AM):1. Woke up on best friend's couch to find the Fox Soccer Report on the television. Glasses and sweatband still on. Three dogs asleep on me. The African Grey Macaw which terrifies me was squawking my name, as well as saying "WANNA NUT?"
2. Got up. Looked outside to see if it had rained. It had. Car windows outside were still all the way down. Went back to sleep.
3. Woke back up to the sound of aforementioned friend shouting something out the window to his cousins about painting the fence. Thought I was in a dream about Tom Sawyer. Wasn't. Realized I now had four dogs on me. Told them to get off. Didn't matter. Rolled off the couch. They were not pleased.
4. Asked friend to shut up. Didn't. Decided I was hungry. Ate a giant bowl of potato salad and made a strawberry milkshake with Bailey's in it. Surprisingly delicious. Made another. Drank it while watching Sesame Street. Felt weird about it. Made another.
5. Came back to sit on couch to find dog vomit at the other end. Almost lost it. Terrifying bird said my name again. Mad TV had found its way onto the screen. Was surrounded by everything horrible.
6. Went to wash my face only to find a mosquito bite on my cheek. Now that I know it's there, it won't stop itching. Trying to gently scratch it with my knuckles. Look like a cocaine addict. Who's kind of drunk.
7. Now listening to friend explain new D & D character to me, "Tony the Weretiger."
Love you, Old Town.
Miss you, Worcester. Coming soon. As in within the next week. Stay posted.
Can we replicate this day when you get here?
