Not a whole lot interesting to report from this weekend.\u00a0 I did re-visit a couple of places I haven’t been recently.\u00a0 Saturday night I left Hoop’s Bar about 1:30, and as I stumbled past Swig I saw one of the managers of the Saucer and one of the owners of the Majestic inside, and I went in and had a drink with them.\u00a0 It was actually kind of fun and my friend Ugly Steve is now bartending there.\u00a0 I may actually give the place a chance and start going in there once in a while.<\/p>\n
Another place I haven’t been to in a long time is the Black Diamond.\u00a0 Tonight at the Saucer I got hungry and didn’t want Saucer food.\u00a0 So I walked down to the Fish for their 25-cent oysters, but they had run out so I went to the Diamond and got pizza.\u00a0 It was kind of nice to sit at the bar and watch the tourists and the bums walk around Beale Street.\u00a0 The bartender remembered my name and what I drink (PBR can, of course), even though I haven’t been in there in more than 6 months.\u00a0 They had The Simpsons, King of the Hill, and Family Guy on TV with the sound on.\u00a0 Every now and then I turned to another TV to watch Clemson almost take down North Carolina.\u00a0 The Tar Heels managed to hold on to their #1 spot – for now.\u00a0 I’ll point out that they barely scraped past the #19 team, whereas #2 Memphis convincingly beat the #4 team a couple of weeks ago.<\/p>\n
After eating I went back to the Saucer and stayed there until close.\u00a0 Inside joke that almost no one gets department – one of the regulars asked me to put this in the blog:\u00a0 Jason Canada, what’s up from Johnny Mason, get buck from Fancher.<\/p>\n
Played a game called Catch Phrases with a bored waitress.\u00a0 I had never heard of it before but was pretty good at it because it’s similar to a game show called Password I watched when I was a kid.\u00a0 Allen Ludden… now that guy was one of the great game show hosts of all time.<\/p>\n
I got the high score on Gone Fishing on the video crack machine at Hoop’s Bar Saturday night.\u00a0 I now hold 6 of the top 10 scores.\u00a0 That’s enough for now.\u00a0 I’ll probably take a break from the crack machine and start actually socializing at Hoop’s again, unless someone beats my score and then it’ll be time to get serious again.<\/p>\n
I meet my boss in the morning.\u00a0 Odd considering I’ve been there 2 months now, but he works in the New York office and I work in the Memphis office.\u00a0 Up ’til now we’ve used Yahoo Messenger to communicate.\u00a0 We also have 7 new IT people who start tomorrow.\u00a0 It’s going to be a wild and crazy day.<\/p>\n
If you like Elvis, hit AllMemphisMusic.com on Tuesday.\u00a0 The Internet radio station will play nothing but Elvis for the entire 24 hours in honor of his birthday.<\/p>\n
High is predicted to be in the 70s.\u00a0 That means after work I’ll have to change into shorts before I head to Pint Nite.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
