It's Tax Day, suckas, and if you're like me (a fellow sucka sigh) you'll be waiting in line for seventeen hours this morning at the post office so that you can file a return for which you owe one bazilllllllllllllion dollars. Two different accountants looked over my forms this year (I tried! Damnit, I tried) and both of them came to the same conclusion: "Don't cry, Amy." (So. Fucking. Pathetic). Their suggestions as to how I could get out of paying?
None of these suggestions seemed particularly lucrative and so, I opted to pay. (None of my friends were up to the job of beating the crap out of me, despite numerous attempted lurings). (I tried! Damnit, I tried). Fuck it. If you can't get out of paying your taxes (shitty accountants -- what good are they?) you might as well find an activity to take your mind off of things (or in my case, to dull the pain). Personally, I'll be enjoying a red wine, cocaine, and Marlboro cocktail to forget my April 15th troubles. But if that ain't yo' thang, how about one of these fun and exciting craigslist-inspired activities? One way or another, it's Tax Day. Time to get comfortably numb. Suckas. WhateverDot in brooklyn is hosting Prize is a Sealed box of YuGiOh Packs We play by Advance (april 1) rules Fee $5 Whateverdot So, I've got like 40,000 nieces and nephews. Frankly, my siblings procreate so much, it's hard to keep them straight. But, the one thing they've all got in common is that they all play with these YuGiOh cards. Now, if you're not like me (don't have 40,000 nieces and nephews under age 11 and/or are not a gigantic huge fucking nerd) you probably have no idea what YuGiOh even is. So let me drop some knowledge (acquired from my seven year-old fan base). You see, when Aunt Amy gets really trashed, she's really receptive to learning about what her nieces and nephews are into. So one time when I had missed my bus back to the city after a particularly thrilling family barbecue in Jersey, the horde of children decided to teach me the ways of YuGiOh. Each of the kids had this huge stack of cards (which seemed akin to my obsession with Garbage Pail Kids back in 1985). Except, the cards were Japanese, and there was some sort of game involved in collecting the cards (and there was no card called "Acne Amy" or "Bloated Blair."). Ok. So that's really all I can tell you about YuGiOh. But really, that should be enough. Adults playing with YuGiOh cards? Uhhhhhh, kinda, you need to get out more. Seriously. Love, Aunt Amy. 4/15: chakra loop breath meditation April 15, Woa. "An intense technique developed from a synthesis of rebirthing?" Uh, I'm fine with having been birthed but once.
