Work just called, closing early tonight and don't need me in.

That's 2 weeks in a row. I'm not there for the money, I'm there to cook, so I can learn. Pisses me off. Think I'm going to start looking for new work.

Not to mention my other job is so slow, I go for hours without a single order coming in .......

Fully digging Slunt right now; super-sexy-chick-fronted band from NYC, that a friend from Long Island turned me onto.

Got their EP in the mail today; it rocks.

I'm hittin' the wagon for a while.

I've had far too many nights of coming home when the sun's up and most of the details of the previous 2 hours being missing, not to mention going to school hung over or still drunk.

I'm going out to Southern California in 3 weeks, and I think I'm going to stay dry until then. I may not...

Fuck hair.

Well, it's spring time (even though it's still only 40 degrees out), and the Rock & Roll Action is heating up.

You might remember me bitching about having to choose between 4 different shows last Saturday night .... well, tonight there are several choices as well, and I've barely begun to dig around and see what else is happening.

I was sitting here...

I was just awakened by the soothing sound of a city garbage truck ripping the security bars off my window by making a bad turn in the alley behind my apartment; some of the brick was pulled loose as well. It's nice.

Holy shit .... this is one of the coolest things I've ever seen

Waking up late, still drunk, and hauling ass to school (still drunk) and trying to get through 5 hours of class (still drunk for at least the first 3 hours) .... I'm not sure, but I don't think that's a good thing.

Came home without my jacket last night, too, and I barely remember being in the last 2 places I went to.

Ridiculous. Enough...

So last night, I had to choose between 4 different shows at different venues around town:

The Darkness (playing the Vic theater, which I don't like, so easy choice there)

Southern Culture on the Skids (who are touring with the Paybacks through SoCal the same time I'll be out there next month, so I'll catch them then)

The Lost Sounds (playing next door to the...

Got my plane tickets to LA. $176 on American, and this trip will give me enough miles for a free ticket next time I fly.

Dope.

Baking class is over and done with. Sayonara, muffins.

Listening to "Built for Speed" by the Stray Cats. So should you.

The Paybacks play tonight.

Dope.

Tired as fuck. Think I'll take a nap before work tonight.

Tomorrow is the last day of my baking class, thank God. I'm so damn sick of cakes, cookies, and muffins, I could puke. If I even see a pastry cream in the next 2 months, I'll puke.

Next week starts Soups & Sauces, which will be hot.

Got everything set up to go to...

I think I may have lost my mind

I just went to Best Buy to look at DirecTiVo receivers, decided I didn't feel like spending $99 (plus whatever the dish itself costs), and went next door to the liquor store, where I spent $175 on wine, then went to Whole Foods and spent another $175 on food.

I'm a single man living alone .... what...

Damnit, this weekend was entirely devoid of adventure. I think I need to find new places to hang out.

Maybe tonight will redeem the weekend, but I'm not hopeful.

Nope, it didn't; this was the deadest night I've ever worked. I didn't cook a single thing between 6.30pm and 3am. Lame.


But I did just have a really bizzare internet message board convo with...

Ouch

Worked at the restaurant last night, had a few drinks after I closed the kitchen, ran down the street to the bar, had a few more drinks, then all of a sudden the bar got silly busy and there were only 2 people working; so, I ended up barbacking the rest of the night, closing up around 4, leaving with everyone else (after a...
