What a Beautiful Day

I’m thinkin’ I am going to go running, to take advantage of the rather warm day (upper 50s) this time of year. Later, I have to return a shirt, because they left the little plastic security thing on it. Yet it never set off the security alarm when I left the store. Or maybe it did. I was wondering why those cop cars were following me… what? I need to get some Christmas cards to send out, too, and pick up a few more gifts. I’m not nearly done with my shopping.

I was reading someone’s blog the other day (I’ll have to find the link later), and they were ranting about how these new video game consoles only come with one freakin’ controller. What is the deal with that? What kind of psycho only plays video games by himself his whole life? OK, I’m sure there are some. But normal kids have friends over. Old school consoles, like Nintendo and Atari, came with two controllers. Who decided to only include one, thus meaning you have to spend another 30-40 bucks just for a second controller. I guess maybe you can have a BYOC party. ROFL Throw in the extra controller. Good grief. You’re already mass producing these games, which costs dollars to produce, and selling them for 50 bucks. OK, I’m done.

Completely changing subjects… Living alone, I’ll sometimes prepare to go to the bathroom before I’m actually safely inside the confines of the bathroom. So last week, I caught myself beginning to undo my belt at work before I got to the bathroom. Weird. lol Ever happen to anyone else? No? OK, I didn’t think so. lol

“Promises mean everything when you’re little, and the world is so big. I just don’t understand how, you can smile with all those tears in your eyes. Tell me everything is wonderful now. Na naaa na na na naaaa naa….”

Ya better watch out, ya better not cry…

ASCAP’s 25 Most-Performed Christmas Songs.

Speaking of the holidays, one of my VHF-challenged friends had the SNL Christmas special on last night. Adam Sandler was on there with an all-new Hanukkah song. lol

“Osama Bin Laden… not a fan of the Jews.”

“We got Ann Landers and her sister Dear Abby. Harrison Ford’s a quarter Jewish, not too shabby. Some people think that Ebeneezer Scrooge is. Well, he’s not, but guess who is? All three stooges. Tell your friend Veronica, it’s time for Hanukkah. I hope I get a harmonica. Have a happy, happy Hanukkah.”

Wouldn’t it be nice..

…if it were Friday, then we wouldn’t have to wait so long.

I’m gonna have a couple of rantages in here. lol Firstly, about the drivers this morning. If your vehicle will not easily fit between the painted lines on the road, then please drive it on a wider road, or at least keep it off of two-lane roads. If you simply can’t keep your vehicle between the lines with any regularity, maybe you should go back to GED school… or CDL school.. whichever. Wow, that felt good. Second rant (on tipping) is below.

Looks like a pretty calm Monday, so far at least. I cracked up reading J-Mo’s blog. lol He offered a disclaimer to make sure everyone knew that he wasn’t the person I was referring to who was dating the 16 year old. I don’t know why anyone would think that anyhow. LOL I was just looking at these search strings to my blog:

“fights on Krystal restaurant property”

lyrics + “I want you” + “Just go ahead now”

slang for “give me the slip”

Well, as for the latter, I think that can be referred to as “pulling an Erin.” lol

Headed to APPLEBEES for dinner last night. Sat with JESSICA. She has quickly become one of my favorites up there. Found out she lives in the same apartments where DONNA used to live. It’s true we get benefits up there. But there are two underlying facts that most people tend to overlook. First, I’ve been going up there probably an average of twice a week or more for over four years. It takes awhile to obtain that “regular” status. And secondly, and most importantly, we take care of the servers. For example, I tipped 26% last night, and that was probably the lowest I have tipped up there in a long time. I’d say normally I tip between 30-50%. I probably tip 20-25% most other places. So naturally, it increases up there. So in reality, are we really getting that much of an overall discount? Probably not as much as you might think. But that’s not the point. Wherever you go, remember, at most of these types of restaurants, the servers make like $2 an hour wages. The majority of their pay comes from tips. So when you tip $2 on a $20 check, shame on you, el-cheapo. And be aware, the Tip Patrol is coming after you.

“Well it doesn’t show signs of stoppin’, and I brought some corn for poppin’. The lights are turned way down low. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow…”
