Hairy Pooter

Now thats how you make a Harry Potter movie. It was extremely satisfying – I didn’t even miss Richard Harris at all (and compared to the last one, anything would have likely been great in comparison).

Still – brilliant. Perfeclty executed. I can’t wait to see it again!

OK, so that didn’t last long.

Quit the barback job. Just couldn’t allow myself to be abused in that manner for that amount of money.

I forgot the toxic nature of food service and the allowed vocal abuse. Ok, Mr. sous chef in a crap kitchen, I’m just supposed to take your fucktacular verbal attacks. Yeah, eat my ass through a collander.

P.S. your chiffonade was clumsy and your putanesca was flat. 🙂

Well, I got a job

I’m working at AURA downtown as a barback and server assistant.

It’s a crap type job, but the good part is I’m learning the ropes for service industry, I’ll get my OLCC card, and I can hopefully get into a bit of bartending.

My legs and feet are killing me, and straight bars suck. Our late night clients are all 20-somethings looking to hump. Yay.

The club’s design and menu are excellent, though, and my coworkers are fun and the managers are decent folks.

We need new customers, though – I guess all that matters is that their money is green, but ugh. So glad the only ass I’m looking for wiggles itself in queer bars.

Just noticing

Why do christians always seem to look like this guy:

Like they’re about 1/2 a second away from either killing a room full of people with an uzi, or gibbering drool on themselves?

Some news, everybody cross their fingers!

So yesterday I interviewed for a barback position at Red Cap Garage.

The position is only for weekend nights, Friday & Saturday. So if I get it, you can come abuse me at Boxxes, Red Cap Garage, and Panorama.

Though I may not get it due to switching from my coprorate job to bottom-entry position in tavern service, or if there was a cuter person applying for the position.

It would be a tough job, but good experience if I really want to bartend in the future. It would also be an awesome job while I go back to PSU.

In other news, this Friday is my last day with Fair, Isaac. I’m a free (but broke) man after that.

Ponderous

When people think they have the answer, they usually stop thinking about the question.

Pink Petal Procession

I’m posting these because I’m an (attention) slut. Lookit! Perdy. ‘s floral photos have long inspiried me — I found a great use for the closeup feature on our new camera. It allowed me to spoof a photographic technique (that I have no clue what the name is) that has a very small range of focus. Neat stuff, I think.

Anyway, this is my favorite snap, the rest are under the cut.










P.S. IDed the tree as a Flowering Pink Dogwood. I seem to be obsessed.

Still alive

So long time no update.

I’ve been incommunicado mainly because of City Of Heroes. My friend Rob stayed with us last week and he let me use his account (it is in beta now). Hooked. Damn. I picked it up for myself. B-dawg: Forget middle earth. If’n you wanna MMORPG with us peeps, It’s City of Herores.

Alongside infecting me with COH, Rob also fixed Hansel! THANKS, ROB! As it turns out hansel’s right-front wheel-nut (or something or other) was off, causing the rotor to twist wrong and making with the horrible noises. We first though it would be brake pads, but after removing the wheel, the real culprit showed it’s face. So happy. Before Rob showed up, we thought it was the axle or something expensive. So our beloved hansel is operational again!

Cruising Washington Park in a convertible cabrio with the top down = Summer Long Fun. 😀

Oh, and I officially have my 2 weeks from Fair, Issac. After April 30, I’m a free man. Who wants me?

Oh, I took some interesting pics of our drop-dead-gorgeous tree – anyone wanna see?

Weee!

OK

Since I am stuck at home having to work (watching a process defragging databases! yawn), we are making cocktails and drinking.

So who out there in LJ land wants to come over and drink?

The partay’s at my place, show up whenever!

C’mon, you know you want to taste my Mai Tai. 😀

drinky!
