I have decided that this is an acceptable housewarming gift to myself.
Awkward Ponies
Mom: So it means I can visit you in Miami?
Ernie: Of course Mom, we'll have two bedrooms.
Mom: But where would your roommate sleep when I spend the night?
Ernie: ...
Mom: ...
Ernie: ...
Mom: ...
Ernie: I haven't eaten in two in a half days.
Mom: WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?
T Minus Two Weeks
A lot of people have asked me how my mom has been handling the whole “selling all my belongings, packing what little I have yet and moving across the country to move in with a guy” thing.
That’s a fair question.
She’s been calling me a lot, as expected. And, because deep down I am a masochist, I have decided to start visiting her more often.
Mom: Ernie! Now that...
"self"
Ernie: So, the leasing company [in Miami] just called me because they didn't like the answer I gave on my renter's application under "Employment" as "self." "Self? Self what? Self-employed weed dealer?"
Kareem: Did you explain everything? The freelancing? The web site building?
E: Yeah, it's fine now I think.
K: They haven't called me yet, for what it's worth.
E: They haven't called you yet because they don't think you're a weed dealer. Do you know what they called weed dealers in San Francisco? "Small businesses."
K: Right. They should call me as a reference for you: "Weed dealer? Him? The man could barely sell an office chair without practically giving it away!"
E: Huh.

Royce: that means i have to have headshots. and you have to wear a shirt for that...right?
