For those of you who have experienced the semi-sentient mound that was &#8216;My Gigantic Laundry Pile of Horror&#8217;, you&#8217;ll know that this concludes the story of my weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Well, almost. I did manage to squeeze in another couple of episodes of The O.C. between rinse cycles (I&#8217;ve watched up to episode 9 now), and on Sunday night I went out for an impromptu jaunt to my friend Emily&#8217;s house, which was a big adventure to the sketchy &#8216;burbs. I was given a thorough tour of the sights, including &#8211; a whorehouse! a parking lot where a cop was shot! a meat factory! <\/p>\n<p>After the tour and meeting her adorable puppy and playing around her ultra-cool room, we went over to her cousin Justin&#8217;s house to watch music videos and learn why it&#8217;s a bad idea to mix Goldschlager with Jagermeister with Amaretto with at least four other kinds of alcohol. It was a long lesson, and I didn&#8217;t get back home until almost 2am. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a good thing I only have another ten minutes at work. I think I fell asleep in the middle of typing the word &#8220;whorehouse&#8221; a minute ago. Time for a nap.<\/p>\n<p><i>(Note: later today, inspired by Emily&#8217;s friends&#8217; tale of adventure, I&#8217;m going TOBOGGANING with HOT CHOCOLATE!
