7. I'd like people to leave me the hell alone for at least two hours a night.
Don't call or knock on the door.

A sleep number bed with Garnet Hill flannel sheets. The really soft kind. I like pink, but I'll settle for blue or lavender.

Organic produce, bottled water and a bottle of Chardonnay just in case someone disobeys and calls or knocks on the door.

Several boxes of books to be chosen by me ahead of time.

A personal trainer and the following equipment: elliptical, Pilates reformer & cadillac, free weights.

Soaking bathtub.

9. One child to be sacrificed every hour, at 17 minutes past, blood to be
evenly distributed - no chaotic or random pattern tolerated - over chest of naked Wilford Brimley hung in closet.

- One 1.75L bottle Bombay Sapphire, rerigerated, not frozen. One bottle jalepeno stuffed olives. 6 lemons. 6 limes. 1 bottle Vermouth. 3 bottles tonic water. More ice than would fit in Rush Limbaugh's stomach if it were stretched over a '73 Lincoln Town Car.

- All unusable (i.e., "decorative") pillows to be removed from room. "Decorative" bed coverings to be removed form room.

- ONE GODDAMN MOVABLE LIGHT, THAT'S ALL I FUCKING ASK FOR, ONE GODDAMN MOVABLE LIGHT to be placed on nightstand by the bed SO I CAN FUCKING READ FOR FUCK'S SAKE.

- Jacuzzi tub

- All service/worker personnel who enter room are to leave their shoes in the hallway.

- MORE THAN ONE GODDAMN PACK OF COFFEE LEFT IN THE ROOM, I MEAN SERIOUSLY, WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK IS THAT? ONE BAG OF COFFEE? MAKING ME CALL THE GODDAMN FRONT DESK TWO OR THREE TIMES A DAY TO ASK FOR MORE COFFEE BECAUSE NO ONE HAS THE AUTHORITY TO GIVE ME MORE THAN ONE GODDAMN BAG AT A TIME? JESUS CHRIST, YOU CHEAP FUCKS, I'VE BEEN HERE FOUR DAYS, YOU KNOW I DRINK A LOT OF COFFEE. GOD.

- Actually, I require a burr coffee grinder, premium quality coffee in bean form, and a quality drip coffee maker. And for every bag of coffee that comes in its own fiulter to use in that ridulous "4 cup" coffee maker, you are to slaughter one of your illegal alien room cleaners and wrap her entrails around Brimley's neck. Also, Wilford probably needs a drink by now.

- Whenever I call the front desk asking for something (food or other) that doesn't need to be cooked, I expect to be in my room within 4 minutes.

Other than that, you know, really, I can't imagine being the type to have a lot of these kinds of demands. It's just not my way - it's not so much me requiring certain things to be there (other than that all that ridiculous fucking decorate pillow and bedspread clutter be removed, and that I have some decent fucking coffee and bottled water to make it with), it's really about quick response when I ask for something. Nothing worse than calling for something, like a tube of toothpaste, and then waiting fucking 30 minutes for it.

13.) Fresh flowers in every room. Purple or white tulips, White daisies, NO Baby's breath.
14.) Humidifier. Plenty of Vodka. If you don't know what I'm talking about, no wonder you are clogged.

25. It is especially appropriate right now....
because a good share of the furniture has been moved out of the house. Soon, everything will have to go on this desk, my dresser, the built-in bookcases in the front hall, or on the damn floor. Not many surfaces left. The big move is 4/29.
