Pollo

David Sterry no tenía ni idea de lo que esto significaba cuando se marchó a Hollywood para comenzar su formación universitaria. Le violaron a la segunda noche, se prostituyó a la tercera, y en menos de un mes ya era uno de los gigolós mejor pagados de la ciudad.

Melting Down at Ikea

    

After my mother’s death, I decided to become a new person: kinder and more organized.  I knew she’d like that.  First stop: Ikea, to buy a new desk, filing cabinet, and shelving.   Retail grief-therapy.

 Ikea is a Scandihoovian superstore packed to the rafters with everything you need for home and office.  All made with Nordic unfuss and anti-ostentation, cheap as dirt, assemble-at-home, with names, like the humlarp, the gluk, and the huskvllurple.
