Last night was way more fun than I've ever had at Muses...and I caught my first shoe! Well, being on Bernie's shoulders made a huge difference (and being on Michael's tonight made an even bigger one. Except we went up to Dad's float, and instead of giving me stuff, he looked down at Michael with a 'who the hell' expression visible even through the ( Read more... )

Shiny leather in the darkI think I may have badgered CC's into reducing my weekend hours. Anthony, the coolest person I've met recently, works the register on weeknights. He is never disliked by anyone, and got yelled at several times by customers today, which he has blamed on it being Valentine's Day. We considered how a commercial and fraudulent ( Read more... )

I'm very tired. I think I'm at my lowest point since I came home. I hate bitchy customers. I hate people who want six drinks prepared exactly the way they ordain and regulate every part of the process. I hate people who pay for a drink that costs $1.87 with their platinum credit cards. I hate corporations and chains. I hate quite a lot of people ( Read more... )

I went to study at Sarah's house after school. I finally figured out how Lakeview and Metairie are connected, studied Civics, skipped math and psych, played Halo 2, talked and probably screwed up her studiousness, and felt like a little kid. It was restful.

I got into Loyola Chicago!!!! Then I wasted some time sitting in a tree grinning.

(We played something like this at Summer Scholars on the bus, only it was spontaneous and made of lots of people heartily singing. "He's got the whole world, in his pants; he's got the whole world..." We did it with everything we saw, including a contraption that a guy had put together in engineering. I still sing "Flamer's Contraption in his pants ( Read more... )

Friday after Zotz was really funny, but that one oughta be saved for a reenactment sometime. Yesterday I finally procured a job at CC's, and all I have to do is get a drug test tomorrow ( Read more... )

I can't believe it. I was all ready to get home early and relax, finish everything up, watch the State of the Union tonight, and then I glanced behind me at the jerk passing on the right and I rear-ended someone. Not someone. An out-of-state Tulane kid driving a shiny silver BMW. The kind with special sensor-systems on the bumper that tell the ( Read more... )

This weekend went by fast. Friday was awesome - hangin' out on Magazine, the opium den at the Neutral Ground - but I used up all the awesomeness in one bright colorful explosion. I did run over to More Fun Comics for the first time since I've been back, and picnicked at the levee with my loot, but other than that I had a pretty pathetic two days, ( Read more... )

Everyone in town is hiring, according to the newspaper, the internet, and the abusive hordes of flyers and exclamation marks. But somehow, every single college student and twentysomething in the city has managed to snatch up the desirable jobs, apparently about a day before I apply anywhere. CC's, PJ's (multiple), Maple Street Book Shop, Pucchino's ( Read more... )
