There are several people who are well-recognized at Chili's. Yesterday, I encountered one of them that the hostesses have to deal with. This lady comes in the To-Go door, and sits in the first booth, and asks me if she can sit there. "You know, that booth doesn't actually have a server assigned to it, can I take you to the hostess, or can I talk ( Read more... )

Before I lose my memories: remember the first Swing Exchange at Purdue. Staying with Greg. Four huge containers of ramen noodles, sleeping between Stretch and Jesse, butterknives, sleeping in the lounge for many, many hours, partying with Greg and his brothers, Stretch and Jesse jizzing themselves when that chick pulled her shirt up, losing my ( Read more... )

Well, I stumbled upon an intersting show about Rogue waves (the monster, "breaking" waves that can be found in open seas). And another about Killer Lakes (so much carbon dioxide is fed into and trapped under the water they basically become killer soda bottles, called lake overturn). And another about Savants (especially Kim Peek, the inspiration ( Read more... )

New book: "Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why." Even though I don't believe in God -- the whole scenario is fascinating. Of course, I am walking into this book with the aggravating knowledge that I cannot check this man's ideas out: I cannot read Greek (New Testament) or Hebrew (Old). Blast ( Read more... )

Okay guys, here's the story.

I started dating a new guy. His name is also Mike (I hate that). I just told Djali, and that was rough, but I feel much better with Mike now. Yes, this is the same Mike I dance and live with. So all sorts of risks are involved. We'll see. I'm friends with all of my exes, so even if things don't work out, I'm not ( Read more... )

The big tv: there is a switch on the back that says "ext" and "int." It stands for external and internal. Apparently, external means that speakers should be attached or something, while internal makes the sound come back.

Victory!

Elie is a house-cat. Hardcore. He doesn't have claws, and has never been outside if he wasn't in a carrier. Our little domestic. So. Investigating my house yesterday, I opened a window and crawled out. Our backyard has a gate most of the way around it, so I brought the kitty out ( Read more... )

I loooove the new house! Mike is such a dad: "Kylie! Why are you still here? You have to be at work in a minute and a half!" And we're both being pretty anal about the house being clean -- it took too long to set up to destroy too quickly ( Read more... )

Much more interestingly than work, I have kind of started thinking about my Honors Thesis/project. I know I want to do something with either Fairy Tales or Modern Fantasty. I'm not sure if I want to take one story and find all sorts of different versions (I love finding anthologies like that), or if I want to explore a motif in all sorts of ( Read more... )

I had to move my GM's car up to the To-Go door, since I was To-Go/Q.A. and general store bitch, to bring in some much-needed items. Kris's car was ridiculously full of change. It was everywhere. I laughed at her, and she told me I could have it. So when things slowed down, I went and cleaned out her car, and collected the change. Almost 20 ( Read more... )
