but i'll wait my dear til it's my turn

dear nervous drivers after the fact,

it's okay to pump your brakes when you're unsure, but not when you're only going like 8 miles an hour and the roads been plowed.

love,

in other news, did anyone else happen to catch project runway last night? it's gonna be a good season you guys. i don't have a favorite just yet, but they all seem totally fucking crazy and i can't wait to see the breakdowns that are going to happen. yea! tv uncomfortable freakouts! it's awesome and creepy, all at the same time. god bless you, tim gunn. i've missed your clipped tones. he's so matter-of-fact!

i met probably one of the sweetest damn dogs last night. oh ledo (sp). nothing says love more than licking all of the lotion/hand soap/germs, etc. off of my hand. that guy's forever in the dog pound now.

what else? oh yea, i'm so sure that i got "reprimanded" at my fucking p/t job last night. apparently one of the "managers" has some kind of beef with yours truly and thinks that i don't "do enough" in my role as a host on friday nights. that's right, last weekend when i was fucking bussing tables, adding names to the wait list, getting kegs, being a HOST, it wasn't enough. if he'd have said that my work on thursdays was nothing to beam about, that'd have been fine enough because we all as a collective host, really don't do much besides seat people and take turns smoking outside when it's lame and unbusy on a thursday night. but friday night? especially if it's remotely busy? are you outta your fucking mind???? the best part is that the dude who has this so called beef with me isn't even the one who TALKED to me. even better is that the dude i worked with last night is also one of my friday night fellow hosts and he was all like "...." because last friday he felt guilty because i was doing most of the work. my final answer is that charles is racist. don't think that i won't confront his ass next week or whenever we work together next. if you have a problem with me, fine, just fucking tell me. and make sure that at the same time, you calling me lazy cannot turn around on you. and hey chuck? remember last thursday when we were totally busy and no one could find you? you were upstairs eating your burger and watching the POET. gooooooood. and those other times? when anyone's looking for you? you're playing pin ball. way to go!

other than that mild unpleasantness, things have been "fine." i am in the (desperate) market for a new pair (or 2, or 3) of corduroys, some good winter shoes/boots in a dark brown/black, and a few sweaters. the corduroys i'm wearing today are tired and too big. i look like a homeless clown. so maybe i'll have a day tomorrow with a bit of shopping. plus, i could start (and hopefully finish) my christmas shopping. i like to get that shit done in one day. you know how i roll. speaking of rolls, what should i make for the office holiday party? it's in january so we have time to think. last year i made hash brown casserole, year before spinach/artichoke dip and this year i'll be making another appetizer. i can't decide what i want to do. we're "playing" Rob Your Neighbor this year. should be pretty lame and probably not fun. can't wait!

my boy at the zoo sent me 7 free passes for the Wild Lights at the St. Louis Zoo so you can guess what family (plus one!) will be there around dec. 25th. oh yea. all bundled up and oooh-ing and aaah-ing with the best of them. i'm actually a bit uhhhhcited about this because i want to see those penguins & puffins.

what's in store for the weekend besides shopping? i'd imagine a hefty amount of drinking. and i'd like to see the new harry potter for fuck's sake. if i see at least ONE movie, it'll jump start my heart to see more.

the mailman told me to call him tonight around 8:30 or 9 pm. we'll see.
