Back from Vacation

Well hello there, our fictional, though no less dedicated reader(s). We've been absent for about a month now. And what a month it was! It was a month marked by significant life changes for OneHotDisaster. In no particular order:
  • We (OHD) are homeless, having been evicted from our glorious hovel/cemetary of a townhouse by a feral herd of Georgetown goons. We tried to reason with them ("finders keepers, squaters rights!" etc), but they insisted that the summer was over and so was our "lease".
  • Flash ran away to Maine in preparation for the years of introspective lonliness sure to come from her upcoming stint as a [US GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE] survivor in the 'donia, [EASTERN EUROPEAN COUNTRY] that is. She'll be prepared. ...Sleep with your shoes on, Flash.
  • After what was surely a vicodin-laced mojito bender, Ms. Clinton stumbled into the international departures terminal at Dulles airport and hopped the first flight to Anywhere, Europe. He remains in Norway. Slinging back mojitos and hobnobbing with royalty and designing grand matchbox cities, no doubt, because, why not?
  • I, my dear figments of my imagination, am resigned to a new townhouse in the district. It's much like the old OHD house, except the girls and gay have been replaced by straight fraternity boys, the decrepid kitchen by new stainless steel appliances, and the primo gtown locale by a cultural warzone (gentrification vs the ghetto yea!).
  • MissMountVernon--and let me just say we all saw this coming--has moved into a cloister(?) across the street from the national cathedral, is under investigation by the federal government, and has been shacking up with a hott football stud.
Out with the old, in with the new, I guess.

With many disasters yet to come and past disasters still to be shared (tatoos, final party, CRAZY INSANE MOFO former OHD occupant, etc), you can be sure that OHD continues. Now get back to work, ya bums.

I'm sorry, I think the appropriate word is "demographic inversion." Gentrification is so 2007.
