The last weekend on a Saturday night, I was feeling a little sick and I stayed into the house, I had a fucking funk that kept me down and I was for the whole damn weekend since Friday in a Robe, heating up chicken soup, with a box of tissues handy.
I was feeling like shit and sitting at home watching TV when a friend of mine, Gregg "H" calls and wants to come over. This is another fella about my age who's in the wine business and calls and says he has some great new red wines to try, I tell him i'm a little under the weather, but he says the wine is good for it. I figure what the hell why not huh?
Well he comes over with a couple bottles of wine and some cheeses to enjoy with them, since he's also a fancy type of man. I'm sitting in my fuckin Robe with a cup of soup and blowing my nose with the tissues. He comes over and asks me since I'm close to SA he wants to spend the night so he won't drive all the way back home and into SA to the winery to do his run, he lives in Austin, so I say its cool.
He has some stuff with him, his clothes, a travel case, and stuff because he's on the road all the time and stays overnights at times doing his wine runs, so he uses my ameneties at my place, my bath and showers and shaves there and we're hanging out there later on, I'm sick as a dog in a robe still and he comes out also in his robe with his glass of wine and cheese.
We' sit there on Saturday now watching the Travel channel and find a "Texas Love Triangle" film on Lifetime. Its quite interesting and we're hooked on it.
I have this big fireplace in the house and he asks me if we could light it up...i'm all for it because i'm shivering now, my flu is getting worse and i'm freezing. Well, he has some "Java Logs" those fake logs that you light up and they're supposed to smell like coffee, Starbucks Mochas, and we decide what the fuck? I can't smell shit i'm stuffed up why not?
I throw them on there and proceeded to light them, I sit there and go back into my couch and bundle up and we watch the movie and drink our wine and have our cheese...well in no time, the fuckin java logs are crackling and burning out of control...there's sparks of ashes falling on my white carpet and burning up...he says "Holy Shit"
I'm stirred to the horror and I panick...Oh my god!!! we both panicked!
first inclanation being the tool I am I fucking go and get that little shovel from the fire place tools and scoop the logs out and try to throw them out into the trash bin outside...Oh my god bad Idea since there's papers and shit in there it caught on fire! Now I had all the logs out of the fire place, smoldering ashes on my carpet the living room is smoking and the 2 Waste Management dumpsters are in flames now!
I have that Brinks Home Security thing and let me tell you its like they advertise because the phone rings and my friend picks it up and says "YES WE HAVE A FIRE!!!"
well in no time the Fredericksburg Volunteer Fire Department has 2 fucking trucks outside and EMS Ambulances are there within minutes and the guys just fucking use a big ass fire extinguisher to extinguish off all the fires outside and inside.
Whats left?
They come in and the fire fighters look at us and smile and hold back laughing...they see 2 guys in Robes alone in a house watching LifeTime Network movies and wines and cheeses.
The fire was really not that big inside and outside half the dumpsters burned but nothing out of control, just alot of fucking smoke all over the place and the whole house stinks like Starbucks Mochas
The Fire department guys are laughing (the ones away from the house) and the ones in the house are smiling and trying to not laugh at us.
we look like 2 flaming homos there after the fact.
Brinks called again and asked to speak to the fire department and the guy says something like "its ok, under control" and then his radio comes in the dispatcher from town asks the status, and he says "Just a 2150" or something like that.
Probably fire code for two gay men with out of control java logs.
goddamn I've never been in such an embarrassing situation ever in my life.
I can see now how awfull that all must have looked in retrospect.
Its totally embarrassing and terrible.
:oops
