TRUE STORIES: Busca Trabajo
http://chrewstories.blogspot.com/2008/10/busca-trabajo.html
Wednesday, October 8. I am having trouble finding employment. I know in a week or so I will surely be hired for seasonal work at a cheese shop or an American Apparel, the only two things I'm qualified to work with, but I've been looking for a job since I landed in LA. How are you doing today? I asked the old woman. Terrible," she sighed. "I have burns from radiation on my throat.". Oh," I said, trying to look sympathetic and not horrified. I didn't want to know what. She said she got over it.". In 2004, ...

Saturday, October 4. Where are your clothes? She asked, not smiling. I hadn't heard her and thought she needed help. Where are your clothes? She repeated, very serious. I'm sorry, ma'am," I said into her eyes, "I don't know what you're talking about.". This aggression continued; not the neighborhood's, but mine. Nick Cave - In The Ghetto [cover].

TRUE STORIES: Beverly Hills Medical Center
http://chrewstories.blogspot.com/2008/10/beverly-hills-medical-center.html
Friday, October 24. Beverly Hills Medical Center. Monday morning I went to Terry and Mia. This sent him into a long, pleasant story about an 18th- and 19th-century-piano collector he knew in Paris and the drunk adventures they went on. "Typical Parisian," he purred, similar to the way Ben Stein had always purred innuendos at Jimmy Kimmel on Win Ben Stein's Money. That's a healthy cervix," the doctor complimented. So funny," I pointed out to Tamara. "She's supposed to be a nurse, but look at her hands!

Monday, June 23. The Filth And The Ferocious. I went to dinner with my father and my boyfriend Colby in West Hollywood. Restaurants in Los Angeles county are graded in an academic style by the Health Department, and it is required that the grade received is placed boldly in a window, facing the street: A.

TRUE STORIES: Spam
http://chrewstories.blogspot.com/2008/10/spam.html
Friday, October 10. The Purchase email account is accessed through Microsoft Outlook, which, aside from being unattractive, is a bad system because on certain browsers you have no choice but to open the emails received, even when you know you want to delete them. I don't know if computer viruses still exist but I've heard arguements that this could make you susceptible to digitally transmitted disease. I took this as an insult. "W/e," I texted back.

TRUE STORIES: AA
http://chrewstories.blogspot.com/2008/10/aa.html
Monday, October 20. In a continued attempt to find on-foot/by-bus employment in Los Angeles, I recently went in for a retail job at a company that I probably shouldn't name just yet, in this blogosworld of Google Alerts, should they still consider hiring me. I can refer to them as Anonymous Attire for now. Their retail employees, so it was clear to me, and unbeknownst to a cafeteria full of hopefuls, that the modeling call was a big, fucking joke. Had accompanied her to the open model call, too. Mountain...

TRUE STORIES: November 2008
http://chrewstories.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 2. Last winter I got a Los Angeles visit from Rocawear. And on one early evening we took the bus out to Santa Monica. We walked over to the pier, saw a fisherman catch an octopus and some albinos unraveling cotton candy, and then got back onto the bus to go home. When the bus was in Westwood, the bus driver, who had a high and hyperactive voice, addressed one of the women on the bus. I'm sorry ma'am but I'm going to have to ask you to not eat on the bus.". It was getting ugly. The wo...
