Doggie Style

Still Day 4: A Reeally long day. So today I got to go to the morgue. Well, actually it was the medical examiner's autopsy room NEXT to the morgue. But it def had dead bodies in it about 5min before I got in there. (I didn't see them...but my producer did!) So, you know how you walk into a room and you feel like you should know what that smell is, even though you've never smelled it before? Yeah. At first I just assumed it was the faint odor of decaying bodies...which was enough of a thought to make me want to flee the room. I mean it did smell tissue-y. Then my nose recognized it. Blood, mixed with cleaner. Yep. And there were still stains on the floor to prove it. They had just hosed down the floor, but come on...you can't get that stuff up easily. The floor was wet and sticky. I immediately rolled up my pants legs as soon as I: A) smelled the blood and C) realized there was blood on the floor. They were like, "Do you want to shoot a dead body?" I graciously declined.

Oh, and much later that day while setting up for an intv. at a guy's house, his dog carried off my clothes pins. Then I turned around and he ATE them. Not kidding. Bastard.

OH YEAH...You know what Subway and an Autopsy Room have in common? You still smell like that after you leave.
