I was sick, no really

Well, Friday I got really sick and had to leave work early so I wouldn't throw up all over. I slept the rest of the day and took it easy. Saturday, we drove to Oklahoma and went to the Winstar casino. It was ghetto, really ghetto. After waiting 45 mins I finally got to play texas hold'em for 30 mins and then we left. boring day.

RAIN OMG RAIN OMG RAIN OMG

well, finally DFW has had a measurable rainfall since the day I was supposed to go to Paris. Hmm, I had no travel plans but it gave up and decided to rain all day. It is wonderful. I decided to celebrate by going shopping. I bought sweet new shoes at Nordstrom and got a bunch of stuff with the JC Penny's gift card I got for christmas. Overall, a great day. Now I'm gonna go eat some fried chicken somewhere. At least thats what the rents want to do.

Former Politico Encounter!!!

So, today I was eating my yummy eggs and bacon at Mimi's in Ft. Worth when this nice looking lady beside us started to talk about Gutzon Borglum. He's the sculptor of Mt Rushmoore and the relief on Stone Mountain in GA. So, I found this interesting and eavesdropped. I began to check her out and noticed her Prada bag, she was drinking wine, and had an enormous diamond on the taken finger. She carried herself well so I thought, she must be a trophy wife and her husband had to be loaded. My eyes wandered to her companion and at an instant I knew his face. It was one I had disdained for many years and never had thought much higher of than the snails that get in the pool filter. Low and behold it was none other than....

FORMER Senate Minority Leader Tom Dashcle!!
I kept quiet till they got up to leave and then I said "South Dakota too cold this time of year?" He said, "Yeah, I didn't think anyone would recognize me down here." He asked me if I was into politics I said, "a few local organizations." I couldn't be mean to him, he had suffered so in losing his seat. He shook my hand and asked my name. Overall, he was very friendly. It's a shame he had to be a big ole lib.

In other news, I've been really busy with the new job. I'm getting the hang of it slowly, I hope I don't go crazy.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

New Job

Ok, so I'm now going to be in Purchasing. Eww. It already sucks. Very numbers oriented, although, once I get everything ordered it will get normal.

Fridays,

Oh my, I had to wrench myself from bed this morning. That was most unpleasant. It's sad. The one big thing that I'm looking forward to this weekend is sleeping late tomorrow. Maybe I should get a haircut. Hmmm, a trip to Dallas. But, I shouldn't spend anymore money.


In other news: My autographed edition of Jonathan Adler's new book: "My Prescription for Anti-Depressive Living." It is pretty awesome. However, it only increases the lack-of-home-to-decorate depression. I didn't know that he was gay with that guy from Barney's New York who is always on "I Love the 70's, 80's, 90's" Very interesting. Especially the age difference between them. Like the creepy couple in Oratorio. (shiver sound)

Yes, in fact this is the post-holiday catalog mailing time so I've been getting tons of new stuff. Must restrain the urge to spend. Well, I must begin to work. I'm going to have a Vitaball.

One of those...

As usual, I can count on some nugget of wisdom or painful chastisement from my grandmother (father's side.) This latest bundle of joy regards nothing less than my hair.

Whilst, riding in the car on our way to dinner. Grandmother asks where we are getting our hair done in Texas. Like she would have any idea. I explained that a black man with dreadlocks does my hair. Intentionally stirring the pot with that one I know. She asked when I was going to see him again, because my hair was getting to look like, "one of those."

Now, Laura and I immediately exchanged quizzical glances and sought to find the meaning of "one of those." The best thing I can think of is that she thinks my hair looks gay. Would make the most sense. But, come on.

In other news, Chad came for new years. We went to the Brandom Party on Friday night and then to Billy Bob' s for NYE celebrations. Good time was had by all.
