Let me tell you the latest development in this awesome life of mine.<\/p>\n<p>I found a Tuba.<\/p>\n<p>In the trash.<\/p>\n<p>Oh yes.<\/p>\n<p>My friend Jill and I had just dropped a friend off at her apartment after a rousing day of doing the stupid shit that we always do when we get together, like buying a bunch of pairs of flip-flops at Target and so on and so forth.  Now, because this apartment complex was designed by rocket scientists and brain surgeons, they have one, count em, one dumpster for a complex with like, nine buildings, and the buildings have like, sixteen units a piece in them, so I don&#8217;t know, you do the math, but that&#8217;s a lot of garbage.  So, we&#8217;re driving past the trash heap that the chronically full dumpster hides underneath, and Jill goes, &#8220;Wait&#8230; did somebody throw out a tuba?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I pulled a full on, tire screeching U-turn and busted ass back to the dumpster, where we found&#8230; Trash Tuba.  It was totally in working order, apart from a few isolated dents and bangs.<\/p>\n<p>So, right now, Trash Tuba is at the music instrument fixing place, getting all patched up.  They said it would take about a week, and that was, like, last Tuesday, so I&#8217;m getting antsy.  I want my Trash Tuba right now!  I want to lovingly cradle it in my arms and play lots of brassy, fart-sounding slow jams.  I WANT MY TRASH TUBA!<\/p>\n<p>Okay, so I lied, I haven&#8217;t been busy.
