We have a poltergeist. A smelly poltergeist at that. For some unkown reason my apartment, specifically my closet, smells like the kitchen of your local Indian buffet. Which makes everything in my closet smell of Indian food which makes my underthings smell like curry which in turn makes my woo-woo smell like cooked goat. Which depending on your point of view I suppose, could be a good thing. But probably isn't. I personally do not like Indian food. Hence I'm rather upset. (If it was Mac and Cheese..that I'd totally sign on to.)
I imagine people like to keep their food and sex separate. I mean, there are those wierdos that enjoy smathering each other in syrup, whipped cream and garlic butter or what not, but not me. Mostly because I loathe being sticky. When I was a kid I used to have to eat jelly on toast and it made me cry because it made the corners of my mouth sticky. This combined with my completely irrational fear of the United States Postal Service is a pretty reasonable explanation as to why yours truly is single.
Shrug.
Anywho, we've got a problem. My apartment smells like a food that I do not like, and all of my clothes smell of food that I do not like and that makes my person smell like sub-equatorial Asia. Not that there is anything wrong with that. If you get randy from Indian food, (I was going to use another Indian food ingredient but because I don't like it I've pretty much strapped my gustatorial knowledge of the contents of Indian cuisine with curry and goat and turmeric.) then I'm your woman. But seeing as I usually like to avoid those men with unusual fetishes, (Not that this ever works for me. I'll share the 'foot guy' stories later.) smelling of goat, not a good look. Seriously, we need someone to come and exorcise the Poltergeist.
I was going to make a joke about the poltergeist being a 'Ghandi ghost' because it's funny and alliterative but then I remembered Ghandi didn't eat and that's probably pretty insensitive. You know, insinuating that Ghandi's ghost would smell of food when the man made political statements by refusing to eat; that and my shameful lack of knowledge of Indian cultural figures. Sometimes I try. I really do. I guess it's not funny if I have to explain it.
If it was a normal poltergeist I'd totally let it stay. That shit doesn't really flummox me; I figure if there is an angry Native American ghost (Damn, there's another insensitive joke I could make.) then it's generally a good idea to just let it fucking be. That or move. As long as it didn't fuck with the TV during my weekly bonding with Don Draper/Jon Hamm. Otherwise it'd be totally free to come out of the TV and steal my roomate. He's been pretty busy at work lately; He could probably stand a vacation.
I blame that wretched cat. She is clearly trying to excise you from her life/the apt. She is planting curry smells in your closet while you're gone and chortling to herself as you search in vain for the source.
ReplyDeleteI don't have the number, but I am sure it starts with 555 as that is what all the movie/tv shows numbers start with.
ReplyDelete@ Sass - That damn cat! She is totally behind this. I can feel it.
ReplyDelete@ Trash - Great! Now we need to figure out where the Poltergeist happened to determine the area code and then it's simply a matter of figuring out a complex algorithm to try all possible combinations! :D How is your math these days?
Um. I am an Indian, and even I wouldn't like my wardrobe or apartment to smell of curry, goat, or otherwise :)
ReplyDeleteYou need a deodorizing plan, and with the huge number of pine/cedar deodorizers available at all supermarkets that shouldn't be a problem. Unless you like the smell of mothballs, which drives away everything, including poltergeists!
Another thing, it is not Ghandi, it is Gandhi. And googling would be an easy way to figure out his politics and methods of protest.
Just saying.

ReplyDeleteSo what is the Indian term for "passive aggressive bitch?"
Srsly, telling someone to learn to Google? Go shit in the ocean, lady.
^ Haha! Well said.
ReplyDeleteUm, well to resurrect one of the greatest scenes in cinematic history:
ReplyDeleteFOOD FIGHT!!!
sassafrasjunction, This is not even your blog. And I'm not the one calling people names here. What do they call your kind in your country?
ReplyDeleteTo Anna Grey: I meant this well, and I hope you understood it in the spirit it was said. Thank you for not resorting to name-calling, like some of your visitors, and I wish you all the very best.
Technically, there was no name calling. I asked a simple question. Second, are you new to the internet or just a hillbilly? Are you aware that when you post things online that anyone/everyone can see them and comment on them? I called you out for being shitty and passive aggressive. Sorry you still haven't gotten over that, clearly.
ReplyDeleteMore name calling. Sorry you haven't gotten over yourself.
ReplyDeleteROTFL
ReplyDeleteI feel sorry for you and your angst :)
No more replies to such rants and "questions". You need a lesson in politeness and common courtesy, so maybe you should be the one to take a class.
Please keep on with your ranting into thin air from now onwards. I'm done.
