new story story

i'm in the middle of a move here (fridges suck to move, especially up steps), but the new prick of the spindle is up. i've only had a chance to click on the website and look. it looks neat. the webdesign seems niftier than usual, i mean. i will read some of the stories soon, there are a lot names i know and trust. i know and trust. know and trust. no and husky. i don't know. i'm incredibly tired. um, a guy came with our new used washer and dryer and backed the truck in and we carried the dryer into the house (much lighter than a fridge) and then got it situated and then realized that we put it in the wrong place and couldn't get the washer in so we had to take the dryer out and start again. a lot of that happened. a man with a slight lisp and new york accent sold us a fridge. on his house it said "no smoking. oxygen inside." he insisted i "back the fridge up the ramp," which for some reason i agreed to and which turned out to be a terrible idea.

damn, bro, i loved your story. i've read it a couple of times now. I really want to write a longer piece with this much humor and heart (the foreigner/outsider thing was hilarious and the "grand gestures" was heartbreaking and so damn spot on).

man, i'm glad you liked it and glad to be in that issue with hurlophobia. another excellent one, imo. looks to be a great issue, but i haven't had a chance to read any others except yours. need to get on that.
