Holy cow, I just experienced the most girl drama I've ever experienced. I go to see a friend's band play, and I have 3 ex's there, plus a girl who I met a few weeks ago who I kinda like. Well, Ex A gets all flirty with me, which I didn't expect at all, as we split up about 18 months ago. Ex B was...

I think the 2 years of working superlong hours is catching up to me.
Start eating real food you stupid fucking cunts! Take a fucking chance and trust that a chef knows what the Hell he's doing.

Heh. I thought this post was going to be about fat people who whinge about being fat all the time...but also always continuosly (sp?) eat shitty fast food... I have several friends who do that ALL the time. It shits me.

So Easter weekend I went to Lafayette to spend the weekend with my aunts, uncles, and cousins who I haven't seen in 7 or 8 years. It was amazing. My uncles are pure comedy -- they're hardcore swamp cajuns, total coonass rednecks, but they're both super smart and really funny.

So we're reasonably busy every night, especially on weekends, which is great.

Gah!

Opened last night. Went fine. Kinda slow. Let's see how tonight goes ....

So we're less than a week away from opening, and some of my kitchen gear still hasn't shown up, the bar isn't finished, I'm not being allowed to hire the rest of my staff to train them until we open and start bringing in some money ... this is not the most organized restaurant opening I've been involved in.

I'm amazed that people have the balls to open restaurants in this kind of economy. Hope it works out fine!
I'm really getting tired of trying to stay home and avoid spending money. I miss the days when I could go out every night and not worry about being able to pay my bills.

Bleh.

Yep, this economy shit is a real drag...
The special lady friend surprised me yesterday with free tickets to the NASCAR race out in Fontana. We made a day of it. Hot!
