I'm listening to Jimmy Eat World right now....track 7.....drugs or me....this song...no, this whole freakin cd(futures)....amazing!! I got this cd at christmas, and listened to a couple of tracks off of it...but only in the last couple weeks did i play the whole thing and realize....i love it!!!I enjoy EVERY track...that doesnt happen alot..ya gotta give it a listen,its time well spent!!
So, yesterday was a full moon.......I'm convinced that full moons in this city make it even more strange and random than normal....This whole week has been pretty random...but the past couple days have seen especially high levels of random encounters, acts,events. So....i've been working at the garlic clove everyday.....monday was pretty uneventful....it was trivial pursuit night....the bartender plays with a couple of regulars and any random bar patrons that wish to join in....trivial pursuit is like...the longest game ever...longer than monopoly....its even longer than that war game risk(my dad was totally addicted to this board game...then he got it on his computer...that was the end of dad for awhile...he would play online....its crazy how many people love this game...i dont get it!!!)anyway...so that was that...my friend todd randomly called me( i havent spoken to him in months)we hung out at igors when i got off work....he left....i stayed...the rest of the evening entailed eating 1 chicken nugget(then feeling overwhelmed with guilt...damn you fat kid eating habits!!!!)having a conversation with a chef whos ex-girlfriend stabbed him(twice...meaning two seperate occasions),had him sent to jail, only for him to go back to her....note to self:gotta start stabbin the men to keep em around...got it!!Having another conversation with a fitness trainer...he actually got out of his barstool and started showing me the type of squats i needed to do to work on my glutes(the booty bend...he was pretty proud of this reference and used it profusely).Tuesday night was equally as entertaining....a 300 lb. woman walked up wearing no shoes, and these awful black cutoffs...followed by an elderly man who couldnt have weighed more than a buck...he had a slightly more normal appearance than the woman...except for his hot pink slippers...this is a pretty good one....the woman walked up and asked my table if they had a cell phone she could borrow...because....she;was lost, had just been kicked out of the hospital where the man was...she was planning on spending the night sleeping in the hospital lobby(they dont actually do that..do they?)but then they told her they couldnt help the old man.."what he has they cant fix"she said with her bayou twang...she had to give him her slippers!!she needed to get a ride home...i told her to use the phone inside...she ended up getting a cab by promising she had a bank card at home."its under the sofa,cuz that's where i left it"..she was going about 15 miles away...the cab ride would cost 80 dollars!!! They waited for about 10 minutes until the cab got there....then they were gone....pink slippers and all....just as i was getting over this craziness my table(from arkansawww...they're accents were soooo thick!!)was overwhelmed at my resemblance to...minnie driver..."oh my gawwd.you look like that girl..from the movie...you know, skyler...has anyone ever told you that?ok two things; 1-about 99% of the time when people are about to make some remark about my lookalikeness(sweet.i made up a word!!)they start by saying"has anyone ever told you you look like minnie driver?"its funny they always say it exactly like that...2-I DO NOT LOOK LIKE MINNIE DRIVER...do i? i mean i dont think i do..but, i've been told that at least 100 times in my adult life...sometimes weeks, even months go by and i dont hear a thing...then i'll start hearing it on a daily basis....i dont get it.....so i got home from work and my friend zak called...i havent talked to or hung out with zak in about 3-4 months...he used to work at the g.clove...when he left we didnt really talk as much...it sucks too cuz about 5 months ago he moved a block away! anyway, we ended up hanging and made plans to have lunch on wednesday. wednesday was a very random day. zak and i went to lunch. we ate at this place in the quarter that i really like..its called angeli...they have really good sandwiches, pizza and salads...well maybe not the salads anymore....i was enjoying my chicken salad when i noticed a piece was kinda brown.upon further inspection i realized it was covered with dirt....then i noticed the rest of the lettuce was dirty as well.who doesnt wash lettuce???guess i'll have to order my salad without dirt next time.anyway...we went to walmart...im not gonna lie...i love walmart...they have the coolest shit!!For example, my new monkey pillow...he's super soft and will be joining me on my california trip!!i dont think i've ever spent less than an hour in that place...its just not possible...im like a kid in a candy store!!!no i really am!!zak was laughing at me!!anyway, i headed to work!!!this is when i realized it was a full moon!! people that i hadnt seen in months came in....alot of the topics zak and i had discussed either happened or were talked about...it was just weird...we planned on catching the midnight showing of natural born killers, so i came home and changed and we met at igors....as we were about to leave one of the regulars insisted it wasnt playing...i was sure it was, since i had called the theatre during the day to see what time it played, and the kid that worked there told me 1200!! so i called the theatre again just to appease this guy and what do you know....he says the movie is only showing on friday and saturday!!!so we ended up having a couple drinks and heading to my friend todd's place..he lives in the wherehouse district in the city....we got to his place and headed to the rooftop....oh my god...the view...its amazing..i mean.....i dont think describing it would even do it justice......the skyline.....the view of the mississippi river bridge lit up.....the ported cruise ship(i never realized the enormity of those things,but they're freakin huge!!!)it was such a clear view of everything!!it was quite euphoric.....the rest of the evenings events were made that much better just by having that view in the background....and having that full moon illuminating it all...we stayed up on that rooftop for hours and after the moon bid us adieu and the sun came up, we decided to head home....its strange....that feeling of complete content stayed with me all day today....i wonder how long she'll be hanging around.....sweet serenity....im such a cheeseball!!!
