ah excrement

this post will be about the scene that i discovered yesterday afternoon befor and after a delightful lunch with greg and porter.
on my way out of the house, there was a large man in shorts passed out on his back breathing heavily with his eyes closed, possibly in the throes of a heart attack or some other horrible thing. being a good citizen, i went to call the ambulance, but saw that someone else had, and went on my way, after making sure that the paramedics were taking care of him.
i then went to vic's and had a nice lunch with greg and porter and then walked home. upon arrival at my house, the man was gone, and the front door to the vestibule where the doorbells are was opened. there also appeared to be something near the front door, but i wasn't sure what.
i went inside, and recoiled instantly from teh smell.
sitting in front of my front door was a pile of human shit, smeared on the rug and on the edge of the door, next to 2 pairs of socks, rolled up. inside the vestibule. there was a plastic garbage bag stuffed between the door, as if to hold it open.
the smell was overwhelmingly horrible. greg, porter and i nearly threw up. porter had to carry her bike in and we sort of left her down there alone. it waas hilarious/really traumatizing.

"for the boys" is on right now, and i remember watching this movie as a child. cracks me up. oh bette midler.
