I just wanted to wish everyone a very, very HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

I know Turkey-day is just about over where ya'll are, and it's definitely over where I am (and I had a great one), but I hope your day was very happy, and I hope you ate as much as I did.

In honor, I'd just like to say, "You can get anything you want at Alice's restaurant"

Better not look down

I'm taking a class here called Production and Operations Management.  Now, from the title you might think, "That sounds pretty bad--I don't think it could get worse," but oh, how wrong you would be.  It can get much, much worse... and this story is only about the past 48 hours.

They say you should never return to the scene of the crime.  But on Sunday night, we went back to the country bar.

Having to pee, due to my uncanny ability to turn into a pregnant women when I drink, I found myself in the bathroom (back alleyway, if you remember) not long after arriving.  In the bathroom (alleyway), I ran into Gloria's friend, ( Read more... )

Prior to arriving at the country bar last Friday night, an entire other evening transpired.  Korean food was eaten.  Korean whisky was shot.  7-Eleven was raided.  Karaoke was sung.  Proud Mary was danced.  By the time we arrived at the country bar, we were well on our way to liver cancer and well on our way through an ( Read more... )

Things that happened this evening:

• I ate Korean food for the first time--it was divine
• I tried Korean rice whisky for the first time--it was vile (but I still have two or so shots)
• I karaoked to my heart's content (and then some)
