From the Archives: Reuben’s Bathtub
This is a photo of the bathtub in one of my college apartments. I was going through a little bit of an emo-pop phase, and the dirty tub floor seemed like a perfect place to scratch the band name “Stars Hide Fires.” I’m pretty sure my roommates weren’t very impressed. I’m also not sure why I chose this particular band since they weren’t that great and I was never really a fan anyway. I think the inscription was there for about a month before anyone bothered to scrub the tub.
This is actually an installment from my old roommate Jason‘s archives. I was lucky enough to have lunch with him at the Blue Iguana in Salt Lake City while Mel and I were passing through town and he agreed to pass along the photo. Here’s one of me and Jase after we finished catching up.
Also, I don’t know about you guys, but I just recently discovered the new version of the blogger post editor, and it’s screwing with me. It will take some getting used to.






That is the most disgusting tub I have ever seen in my entire life!!! Yuck yuck yuck!
Casey, yea. it's pretty gross. I'm kind of surprised you're the only one commenting that I'm the grossest person they know.
Creative… yet the placement of it is somewhat disturbing. I have to admit I'm trying not to throw up while contemplating that picture. Did you guys wear sandals in the bathtub when you showered? I would have!
We had a pretty nasty shower when I lived in Hawaii. No matter HOW OFTEN I cleaned it, it never got clean because of all the moisture in the air. I ALWAYS wore flip-flops.
