So yesterday about 6, I was on my way out the door when I heard this -THUNK!- coming from my bedroom. I ran in there and discovered that the clothes rack in my closet had collapsed and my clothes were lying there in a pile. I looked at it for a minute then said “Ah, screw it,” and went to get a beer.
This morning I started to pick up the clothes… everything was OK… my suits got the worst of it, but that’s a good thing because I never wear suits. As I was cleaning I got myself fired up for the Rock-Paper-Scissors tournament this afternoon.
So about 1:30 I walked to the parking garage to drive to the tournament and guess what I found… flat tire. I thought “who can I call for a ride” for a minute, then decided I wasn’t really THAT interested in spending the afternoon at the Cordova Fox and Hound, anyway, with a 63/64 chance that I would lose and NOT go on to Las Vegas.
So I stayed home and had a productive afternoon. Sorted my clothes into “stuff I wear” and “stuff I wore 10 years ago” and bagged up the second category. Cleaned the bathtub, which had gotten positively disgusting, and rewrote my MySpace page. Not all that exciting, but exactly the kind of stuff I need to be doing when it’s 41 outside, so I don’t have to do it when it’s 81 outside.
Still haven’t done my taxes yet though. I may have to file for an extension. Done that before, no big deal.
Not sure where I’ll end up tonight. I’ll stop by and see my waitresses at some point, for sure. I may end up at Superior Bar on Beale Street, where Snozberry is playing – I met the guys in the band yesterday at the Saucer. Superior Bar is really starting to impress me. When it opened a year ago, I saw them trying to attract the same crowd that Rhoney G draws across the street at 152, and wrote it off as a waste of time. But now they’re booking good bands – not only Snoz, but they now have the Eric Hughes Band playing regularly. That’s the band that played for years at the Blues Hall on Beale, before River City Management in an incredibly stupid move let them go. Anyway, Superior seems to be doing a lot to book good entertainment, and to appeal to locals. Worth giving another chance.
Brunch at the Majestic tomorrow, and then Monday morning I get to deal with the tire.
