Blogging from the Saucer today at lunch… having a Lindeman’s Framboise and the Abita Root Beer as my plate beers. I’ll come back after work and knock off the third one, but I don’t anticipate a long stay here tonight.
Blue Man Group will perform their new show “How to be a Megastar” on April 6 at the DeSoto Civic Center. Blue Man Group is awesome… I may actually have to get in the car and drive for that one.
I shudder at the thought of getting in the car. I’ve driven it 3 times since the beginning of calendar 2008. It’s covered in dust due to construction going on in the building next door to the parking garage. The upholstery is falling apart inside. There are drink bottles lying around from back when I worked at the City Schools (a job I quit last June). The air conditioner has gone out and I’m too lazy to take it to the dealership and get it fixed. Life is really going to suck if I don’t get that done in the next month. It’s out of windshield wiper fluid too. I just ignore the stupid thing because I hate driving. But it occurs to me, if I ever had a date outside of the Downtown area I would be SO embarrassed. Of course, I try as hard as possible to stay Downtown, but I gotta admit, The Cove would be a cool place to take a date, and that would require a car.
Having the chicken quesadilla for lunch. The waitress who calls me her “BFF” is working. She’s not my waitress though… I’ve got the sweetie who worked our last Rapscallion party, so I’m getting food without the ‘tude. “BFF” girl claims I mention her in every post. I just did a count and in the last 20 posts (not counting this one) she’s been mentioned exactly 3 times. 15%. By comparison Bud Light connoisseur John D has been mentioned in 4 of the last 20. She wants so desperately to believe she’s my first, my last, my everything, and she’s actually not even as popular as John D. Sad.
Rogue Bullfrog is the Fire Sale, in case you’re curious.
In honor of Valentine’s Day yesterday, I read the Wikipedia entry on Casanova, known the world over as one of the great lovers of women of all time, and a consummate seducer. Interesting article… if you read it all the way down, you’ll read that the player got played a few times by women even more manipulative than he.
I forgot to mention that I had a great lunch at Circa yesterday with awesome company. Really enjoyed it. I haven’t been in Circa in two weeks, since I started this second-plate thing. I need to make an appearance at House’s bar sometime soon. Blast, I just realized, now Itta Bena’s Downtown Night is competing with Circa’s wine flight night! That’s going to be a tough choice to make! This is what is referred to as a high-class problem to have.
Time flies when you’re watching waitresses walk around. Time to get back to work. Three-day weekend for me, starting in four hours!
