So I got the following email from Ginger Carlucci today:
i just got released from the hospital. i can't respond, or write emails, except for the subject line. i'm working on sending you some money this week.
This entire message was indeed contained within the subject line and there was nothing in the body of the email.
No idea if there's even a grain of truth here, but we'll see.
I'm heading to Florida tomorrow and I have gotten the entire fee upfront this time from the new sublet. Yep. Life's a bitch and now so am I.
FURTHER: The thing is...even if this chick was hospitalized the moment she left my apartment, she knew that she owed me the money, so she could have either told the boyfriend to get in touch and let me know what was going on or done so herself however it was that she contacted me today.
I am the easiest boy in New York to contact. I'm even in the phone book. And these folks know where I live.
Also, I discovered over the weekend that she'd left a DVD in the DVD player and I sent email to let her know. I wonder if her getting in contact is possibly to keep me from chucking the DVD and trying to figure out how to get it back without actually paying what she owes me?
So I'm skeptical. I'll believe this money when I see it. Life is a bitch...and it starts in third grade.

Posted by: Jess at February 1, 2005 10:00 PMI find Ginger to be a very interesting character...What DVD did she leave behind? And why would anyone not be able to email except for the subject line???
