being homeless sucks
ok so i seriously just need to find some place to kick back and relax and get everything in gear. working today at caribou SUCKED so bad. oh my god i thought i was going to shoot myself. there was seriously no time at all. i was so excited i couldn't enunciate when i finally was let off. oh. my. god. that was seriously the roughest experience i have ever gone through. working with customers is quite difficult. i will be happy when i don't have to deal with them anymore and i can just work in the dorms or something like that. and wednesday night at the kitty cat klub. cuz wednesday nights are fun.
oh yeah.
god am i tired.
i now have no regrets about quitting caribou coffee. it is much too stress for me. although, now, i do feel as though i can handle any customer problem and hardly sweat it and still keep a smile on my face.
every other job just feels so relaxing now.
so i go over to this guy's birthday party, his name is wolle. little did i know that he would be the same guy that i met at rainbow on wednesday night when i ended up talking to elizabeth. what a shocker. and then i found out that ryan (beal) something or another is cousins with mary nelson. now that is double bizzare. anyhow, it was all fun and games last night until i had to go "home" because i had to work at 7 this morning. yuck!
and i've decided that the first hard liquor i will buy when i am 21 will be some disaronno amaretto. that was good. or maybe i was just already drunk. i could drink that stuff on the rocks no problem. and then lick the ice cubes and laugh with my yuppy friends at and upscale bar. ha ha ha.
anyways, gotta go to work at the loring pasta bar. it'll be a blast, i just know it. this means i have to change out of my yucky caribou coffee stained clothes.
well countdown time.
'til i'm not homeless: 18 days
'til i'm 21: 53 days
'til school: 38 days

good bye dinkytown, and good riddens!
ok so this will be my last entry from the piece of crap also known as the house i live in dinkytown.
sad. well not really. i'm glad i did it all but it's good to leave. because that would be annoying living here all the time. and it's not like i'm even living here i just have all my shit here.
sigh. i make my life so hard sometimes.
well, best be getting back to work. even though i have the day off i keep getting paranoid that i have to work tonight. it's a funny feeling. i need to treat myself with a vacation. or a massage.
but first i need to treat myself with some caloric intake. oink oink.

moving out, billy joel style
not that i EVER listen to billy joel, i just thought that his name sounded appropriate. i think there is some musical that was on broadway that had some of his songs. i would never admit to listening to him. he's so non-edgy. like they would play him on some radio station that is afraid to offend people.
anyhow, it is true, i am moving out of dinkytown. thank god. and over to stadium village and then to uptown and then over to the U of M. i'm excited, i can smell it in the air, can't you? oh well, being homeless has it's perks...
...
they would be...
well let me get back to you on that.

kylie minogue videos!
i don't know if any of you have ever seen any kylie minogue videos...but i have like every single one of them. and i gotta say, something's a little wierd about all of them. the dance moves are a lil nutty, and the outfits?!?! ok kylie's is ok, but the people wearing all the plastic decorations. those are a little wierd for my taste. the designer must be french or something. but i love kylie so much i don't care if her back up dancers wear pieces of plastic.
anyhow...i'm getting ready to be homeless. i hate being homeless. it really really sucks. i hate it.
at least i have the internet in my house. that's one thing to be thankful for. i guess...it's only going to last a few more days and then i have to move out. this will be me on sunday.
and i still haven't really confirmed that i won't be scheduled anymore. i should just not show up. but that would be unethical.

100 Entries! YAY!
but BOOO! To being #5 now on the list of blogs with the most entries. how dare that one class do that!
well, now begins the big packing up of stuff. at least i have the internet working (for a while) in my house. it feels so good to come home and just talk online. i haven't done this in a very long time. like 2 weeks. that is a record since starting instant messenger. even when i didn't have a computer in munich i stiill went to the internet cafe and talked online all the time. it was sad. people talked about how much i was on the internet and how i always disappeared and how gay i was and blah blah blah.
does this make sense: so those stupid homeless people that rob from the students as they stand at 35W and Univ/4th exits...well i saw one of them holding a sign the other day stating "please give god bless" and he was wearing an Abercrombie and Fitch shirt!!!! Ok, he might be homeless, but he's not tasteless. still though, he shouldn't be wearing A&F and expecting to get my money.
gotta move out in a 5 days. ruh roh!

what the fuck?!?!
ok so apparently i have to move out of the house by sunday. oops, no one told me about that. i thought i could stay all the way to the end of august. oh well. i guess i'll have to cash in on people's friendliness.
in other news...ummm, well nothing really compares to hearing about THAT...so i guess i'll just take a nap or something. or better yet i think i'll go try and talk to jackie (my boss) over at comstock for a little bit to see about all my issues for next year.
might be back today, might not.

still in withdrawl
ok so i STILL have no internet. but i did see the couch away from the wall where the jack is so maybe just maybe they are coming to fix it. which i will enjoy for a total of...ummm... 23 days!!!! (assuming it gets fixed today). I need to put in my notice at Caribou Coffee. I also need to chat with the res. hall director at comstock abou my silly schedule for this upcoming year.
so i was a wonderful little host at loring pasta bar on saturday night for the wedding. i had to deal with a lot!!! i almost had a slip up when this one bride came in (i thought it was for the same wedding (i hadn't seen the bride for the one i was hosting) and so i just let them in when i should have blocked the door. i thought she was being sarcastic, too, when she said "gosh, is there a wedding going on here?" perhaps i am getting too cynical. but that was actually very funny for me. until i realized she was serious. then later on i had to make sure these really really disgruntled people somehow became satisfied when someone had told them they could come on saturday night. even though they were really mean at first, they turned out to be allright folks (i guess). and nick is really fun to work with. i can't believe tony said that the loring pasta bar was a gay boy finishing school. too funny.
gosh i wish i had time to just sit here and type but people have to work!!!

i ain't got no time!
ok, seriously, need to get the internet back at my house. this is ridiculous. i am sick of coming to walter or coffman all the time to work on the computer. and i still haven't talked online yet. it's been over a week! that's just sad.
and i have to work today at 4 to do catering at loring pasta. i love making $15/hour. it's lovely.
oh, i went to french meadow bakery today and it was great! the food was awesome. the decor was really really nice. and then there were these really wierd cars that kept going down lyndale. now they were really really wierd. most of them just had bizzarre decorations (i.e. bones, or extraterrestrial bodies). but the best one was a "dog car" that had this thing on the back that resembled a "tail" that would wag back and forth. now that car was nuts. good laughs.
so the quitting at caribou has begun! oh my god i'm getting nervous. note to self: before i go back to school, i'm going to the refinery (where Anthony works) and i'mm getting a massage (with the hot stones) from benjamin. that sounds SOOOO GOOOD!
and the countdown?
days to 21: 60
days to move out: 25
days left to work at caribou: about 18
i feel sick. like i had an overdose of caffeine. or something. need to sit outside.

high blood pressure!
so i have high blood pressure! i wonder what could be the cause of this...
1. sitting in traffic EVERYWHERE IN EVERY DIRECTION. seriously, i can't take driving anymore. i don't mind driving when i can go fast and there is no traffic. in fact i find that quite relaxing. but driving when there is tons and tons of traffic and i'm not moving. now that i hate.
2. dumb people at caribou coffee and the loring pasta bar. no explanation necessary, you bad customers know who you are.
3. family fights...well i'm not at home anymore so maybe that reason is no good.
4. i don't exercise enough (but i walk a lot!)
5. perhaps it was just because i had a latte while they were taking the measurements.
It's pictures like these that make me smile. Actually the weather today wasn't too bad so i could actually enjoy walking outside without sweating severely. thanks for the picture brad (i was looking around on your website).
and since these computers at the library and walter don't have the f-ing url button i've been forced to memorize "a href="web address">name of website < "/a"

boycott abercrombie
ok the ban on abercrombie is back. really it's been going on for a while. but i was just thinking everything would be ok. and it still is. but i was in american eagle getting some of those athletic shorts with the pockets in them and i happened to be wearing my brown abercrombie shirt. the stupid homo behind the counter at southdale AE was like "abercrombie!" and i'm like, " yeah...i know, i have issues with them. it goes deep" and so i've decided that the ban is back. i had previously banned them because i hated the people at my high school that wore their clothes. well, hate is a little strong. i just thought they were sheepish and that they thought they were so cool for wearing abercrombie so it made them so sexy etc etc etc. perhaps it did but i never wanted anything to do with such a style. then i got to college and realized that perhaps i could pull off that style without seeming like those idiots from parkway west. and maybe i did. but my hatred for them has built up. so i just won't buy anymore. and i'll encourage others never to go in that store again. of course, there are still A LOT of idiots out there in the world that i will refuse to interact with. they might still shop there, thus they'll still be able to remain in business.
after going to the mall i went to IKEA. that was cute. way too many people there. however i liked it and i disliked it. the showrooms were nice. i like most of the furniture and styles that they have. i hate little kids. people who take their kids there in strollers should be shot. then their kids can be dangled on the electrical lines for the light rail train. and i didn't really like the whole exhibition route that you walk through. well maybe i would have enjoyed it more if people did not walk so damn slow! i felt like i was being herded through some capitalistic adventure where i was supposed to be like "oooo" and "ahhhh." whatever. i'm not going to buy anything now. it wasn't that great that people had to stop and get in my way. what's even worse is traffic on 494. it seems whichever way i go there is ALWAYS traffic. and there's none in the other direction. they seriously need to expand the light rail system so i don't have to drive when i want to go to southdale.
and apparently i have high blood pressure...well, i was drinking a latte when they took the measurements so that might have altered the results just a bit. and i am in desperate need of another caffenated drink. or something, i can't go into work with my eye like plastered shut! i'm already yawning and it's only 3 oclock!
countowns:
days to 21: 63
days to move out of dinkytown and into comstock: 29
days til school starts: 47

time for a party
ok, now, if you look back to previous entries made about 3 weeks ago at the beginning of july, you would notice that i was being all dramatic and making no sense whatsoever.
well, my life is not ruined, so there's no reason to worry anymore! woo hoo! so unfortunately i did not get the opportunity to update yesterday, that was because i had to work from 10 a.m. to 12 a.m. at loring and then the kitty cat klub. it was a good night. i'm feeling so generous right now, which is a big change from my bitchy self that you might encounter. oh yeah, "bitchy" hehe (inside joke). i'm laughing right now and you probably have no clue why.
so before i go on i should apologize to snackeru (i think it's shane nackerud). he prolly has no idea i was out to get him. but i read some of his earlier entries on "greet machine" and although he's obsessed with dumb things (such as professional sports) i must say i really liked what he had to say about obsessed religious people talking about homosexuality. he's a good guy. and i was really only upset at him because i'm trying to move up from #4 on the most entries list and he updates his blog religiously. but anyhow, he's on my good side (like i will ever meet him!) but if any of you want to read about minnesota sports, politics, life, etc. he has a good head on his shoulders and knows what he's talking about.
if i could put a link to his blog i would, but i'm at the computers in coffman and they don't have that nice "URL" button and i don't know what the command is to type that "a href..." blah blah blah. but right now he's #3 on the most entries list.
anyways, i gotta go take care of some business.

my life without the internet
it's really sad times folks. i have been without the internet at my residence for 4 days now that i have come back to minneapolis. but here's a news update: so i talked to emmett and he said that we didn't pay the bill but now we did so they should connect us again. ooops. come on! i have a lot of songs to download before i forget about them! and then i have all that talking on instant messenger to do! and i'm getting sick of having to go all the way to walter or coffman to use the internet.
*sigh*
so brett left today to go to ireland. i hope he has fun. cathal is really bad about e-mailing people back. i know that first hand. but seriously! brett is going to visit him and he needs to know how to get to his house and everything. he is really slacking off. tsk tsk. i'm sure everything will work out in the end though. it usually does.
so last night was fun...well...to a point. so i had to work at caribou and deal with the bitchy customers but then i went to pizza luce with brent and wohlman. that was good. then i had to get my precious bike that was parked out on the riverfront. well as i was biking home i happened to run into Russell at his apartment and he was like oh my god you're going to the 90s with us tonight. so i did.
it took a while because i had to drop brent off at his mustang on *cough cough* como avenue, not energy park drive, and then go back and change out of some shorts. who wears shorts to go out? not me. maybe those silly homos, but not me.
so i finally make it to the 90s. and when i walked in, there was like, no one there...so i was like ruh roh there's gonna be no one here...but then i went upstairs and was relieved to see a lot of people up there.
but on the first floor! it seems to be taken over by black people! and i don't mean black people in the rascist sense. i mean black people as in NOT GAY PEOPLE. i mean, it's not that big of a deal, but why are all these BLACK people going to the, ahem, GAY 90s? I should reiterate, i'm referring to black straight people, not black people in general. i would never bar them from going, it's really fine by my if they go (because i never go) i just don't know why they would all start going there! it's like the new trend. black people are overrunning the gay clubs. and then there are those fatass black dudes that get in my way when i'm trying to walk over to one area of the bar. and it's already packed enough as it is.
ok, so i was having a great time dancing with russell, his sister, pedro, and company until russell stopped being so gentle. i mean he was really grinding hard up against me and hurting my balls! he drinks WAY too much. but i saw loads of people, adrienne (the only girl, i work with her at caribou) mike, brian, tom, ryan, josh and the frat gang, nate, cody, and chad (chad from volleyball, i had a feeling he might have been a homo but i could never get any evidence for it, so it was a surprise for me. i mean, he was REALLY bad at volleyball. homos aren't bad at volleyball. i mean he sucked royally! well i guess adam larson was pretty bad and he was a really cute homo too...so i guess that theory does not work...i wonder if chris seberson is good at volleyball, if i didn't have to work on wednesday night i guess i could find out)
so all in all it was a good night at the 90s until the alcohol took over russell and REALLY took over his friend pedro. yikes to pedro.
all the more reason not to get drunk.
there are some people that are just scary to me now, their appearance and their actions are so not reasonable that it bothers me to the point of shivering under the covers. take the poorly dressed east african guy that was trying to get on some of the girls at the 90s. whhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

still no internet
seriously, i'm going into withdrawl. i need to talk on instant messenger. i can't wait until august 19th to talk on the internet.
the burlesque show was ok i guess. but i don't like having to stay so late at the pasta bar...maybe if i were 21 and could drink (66 days!!!). and just 32 days left to live in my crappy dinkytown apartment.
and i want it to snow so bad. i'm so sick of all the heat.

hot hot hot
so the aquatennial block party was ok...i've never been one to go to concerts because i think everyone there is nuts. why would anyone want to get on top of someone's shoulders and scream and wave their hands? i don't know. i just wanted top push them off and tell them to shut up.
then the cops came through and told us to leave. which makes sense. but it was nice sitting on the grass (where it was actually dry, no one spilled any beer there)
ew nasty, i just saw an ad for full house. remind me later to write about why i hate full house, because i'm gonna go out with brett now. oh my god it's so gross. who really liked that show. all the characters were so wholesome it made me sick.

being productive!
so yeah, i'm doing A LOT today. i'm putting together my futon; taking care of my housing & residential life issues; working on my blog; scaring silly freshmen at orientation. but i need to take a shower! oh man i can smell myself sitting in walter. *holds nose*
so i'm still out of internet power. sad. i don't know how long i can go for. i really need to get back on instant messenger and be able to search online and d/l some music before i forget.
oh boy. i hope i don't have issues tonight at caribou coffee. they will probably put me on register. because lance and brittany always get to have all the fun on the bar. should probably eat something before i go...

at the farm
and yes, my stomach is still in pain.
ok so since i have the time and i'm not really tired at the moment, i'm going to go on a philisophical rant. about what? hmmm...let me think.
ok, what is up with my sister krissy? what is her problem? she has caused so many problems lately that it's just disgusting. let me list them all.
1. she's currently unemployed. that gives her the right to bitch at all of us and take her anger out on us.
2. she puts up a big fight at christmas about coming out of bed to hang out with the family. she made my mom cry.
3. she and i get in fights constantly. she calls me gay in front of my parents. now, krissy is the one family member that knows i date guys. why would she be so mean? doesn't she know how non-trivial such a thing is?
4. she claims independence but at the same time lives at home, steals money from mom and dad when she could just ask for money. that is wrong.
5. she can't take any criticism without flipping out. and she says i have anger management problems. look in the mirror bitch. well, i did put my hand on her neck (one hand) but she hit me (yeah, so hard, i know). if she is touching me i am going to put my hand on her neck and squeeze.
which of course i get in trouble for. people say men aren't supposed to hit women. and yes, that is wrong for men to attack women. it is also wrong for men to attack other men. however, in my mind, i don't see a difference if someone is attacking me. what hangs between their legs is of no concern of mine when i am getting attacked. if i still have to obide by the rules of men not hitting women, then she should take off her shoes and learn how to cook.
however, it is necessary to point out that generally women have less muscle mass than men. therefore women should not attack men. men also have the responsibility not to attack women. however, there is nothing wrong with a man "defending" himself from "attacks" from women. That is definitely not lady-like to hit a man, therefore one need not be treated like a lady in such circumstances.
my sister needs mental help. but the big question is...how do you get her to talk to a therapist?

still waiting to die
ok so my stomach still aches and aches! yowza!
i hung out with my mom today, something i never do. but she bought me a futon and i bought a fridge. and then we went to city coffee and creperie. that was good times. the metrolink extension through clayton looks like fun. i can't wait. it'll be more fun than the LRT in minneapolis. this way, i can drive to shrewsbury and hang out with my aunt and ride it all the way into downtown, via clayton and everything.
oh my god i can't wait to go back home. i'm stopping to see my grandpa on the way there. that will be fun and relaxing. yay.

kill me now!
oh my god my stomach is seriously in the worst pain in a long time right now. yuck! it feels like someone stabbed me in the torso. and drinking some green apple vodka most likely did not help. neither did going to ted drewes and getting a tiramisu concrete.
but it was fun, and it won't happen for nearly 6 months. i'm glad i got to see jimmy, neel, kristina, and hannah. the next time i see them again i will be 21!!! woo woo! we'll get to go out to the bars and all that fun stuff! it will be so great. countdown to 21...70 days!
me loves me kitties! rawr!

missouri/misery?
allright ok, what's up...
so i'm still in missouri right now. which is ok. i still have not seen my friends yet. but i will soon. i hope.
so lake of the ozarks. mixed reviews...
good points: we have a really nice place, really fun and awesome kawasaki jet skis. the view from our deck is amazing. the drive through the state park is relaxing (provided you don't hit a deer).
bad points: i was down there with my family. there was no one there to share the fun with. well, to be honest, i think everything would have been fine if not for krissy being there. and then, there's no place to get a latte or anything espresso at all down there. ok, there's the coffee can, but they were so slow and everything. i should have just gone back there behind the counter and made it myself. and then coming back i have to go an hour out of my way to sit in a furniture store and do absolutely nothing.
so as you can see, the bad points outweigh the good. well i won't be back there for quite a while, so i guess things will be ok. but i'm never going back there with my family again. at least not my whole family. one sibling is enough!
so, all in all, the vacation sucked. i can't wait to go back to minnesota...

from the depths of hell
oh my god finally i'm back from the vacation from hell. well partly. still in st. louis, which is ok. but at least i'm not in the ozarks. whew. seriously in need of a latte.
every time i come back to st. louis it just gets worse and worse. it's sad, but true. i'm not coming back until december. people piss me off too much. there's so much in the world that is wrong and it pains me too much that i can't fix it all.
but that aside for now, it's time to go out for my sister sarah's birthday. woo woo! more in depth reporting later.

almost to the lake
ok so today i am going to go to lake of the ozarks. i'm so excited to see the condo. actually i'm kinda dead right now so all of that excitement has been internalized. but if i had the energy, i'd be jumping up and down right now.
oh my god i just realized i will be without a computer for the weekend! what am i gonna do!?!? well hopefully i will survive. i'll be back on sunday or monday, depending on how i feel about it all. i might be in instant messenger withdrawl. i also might be getting too paranoid about going back to work. spending too much time on vacation is hard because i feel i HAVE to go back to work even during the vacation.
so my mom told me to clean up the dishes and cook some food when i got home. what?!?! i did not come home to take care of my mother's dishes. what's up with that?
well, i guess should go...oh i'm sure i will put another entry in before i leave.

red bull and scooby snacks?
ok so maybe these aren't a good diet. but they were my diet on the trip down to st. louis from minneapolis. thus i was stuck out in the middle of queeny park with beau the dog and a serious case of the runs.
no, i didn't poop in the middle of the woods. i held it in as much as i could and rushed home. i feel better now. ahhhhhh.
gosh i'm so bored. wish neel or jimmy or someone would call me. i feel like going out for ice cream. oink oink. ted drewes. i hope someone calls me. it's so boring to go out with my sister.
Posted by piep0058 at 07:40 PM | Comments (0)
am i dead yet?
ok so things are kinda bad right now, to say the least. not only do i have that problem, but my tooth also hurts, i burnt my mouth pretty badly, and i'm dead tired. i'd nap but i am going to see the dentist in 3 hours. maybe i could fall asleep in the dentist's office. i think i will.
driving straight from work probably wasn't the best thing. boy does iowa smell. it's nasty, if i could avoid that state i would, but that would mean i would have to drive through wisconsin. earth day, every day!
i just want to have a nice carefree vacation. and i fear i am not going to get it. i should go to west county before work to walk around and see what's new.

tic toc tic toc
so it's almost time for me to be leaving for work and then to missouri. but i figured i had some time to talk about things.
first off, the taste of minnesota. i wasn't impressed. it felt more like the old country buffet of minnesota. i wanted more restaurants there. felafel king and pierre's just did not cut it. it was nice being on harriet island and everything...but i guess the fact that it was in st. paul means that you get all those rednecks from the middle of nowhere minnesota.
i mean, there's already the state fair. could people just not wait enough to get sweet martha's cookies??? actually i'm excited for the state fair and the all you can drink milk. and to get some more cookies. oink oink oink.
but then i had to work sunday night, so the only fireworks i saw were in the reflection of a window across the street as i was at the kitty cat klub. which was cool, because there was also a burlesque show there with dancing girls with fire. good times.
so brett just sent me this website. oh my god! at first i thought it was real, because there are people who are really this insane. but i'm pretty sure it's a hoax.
oh my god i'm just 14 hours away from st. louis! i can't wait to get back. i hope i don't die on the road. dying in iowa is the worst thing in the world. i know when i die i want it to be spectacular.

some poetry
it is sometimes know that extreme emotions can inspire people. well right now i have an extreme emotion. so i'm going to write some haikus.
lusting after boys
killing time with a cold heart
i sit here waiting
vacation is near
desperate for time to relax
i jump off the cliff
faster as i plunge
into the glassy water
pain leaves the body
ok, so i leave for missouri today. fun. i said "fun" in a sarcastic way.
fuck you.

happy 4th of july
another stupid holiday. fun!
oh, if any of you are interested in getting some pizza, i might suggest this place called Punch. it's in the "older" shopping area over by calhoun crossing next to the Calhoun Beach Club. yeah, it's in the ghettofied late 70s style shopping complex. but still, the inside has a nice style to it.
the pizza is quite tastey too. i went there with Jake and i liked it. I went there with Brett and i liked it. the artichoke dip isn't so great. i'll stick with the superfat ramekin at loring. and they need a better soda selection.
does anyone know what happened to this one "red" restaurant? i can't find it! and i don't think it's in the foshay tower...but it might be right next to it. hmmm, strange.

time for a rant? why not
ok so i was talking to the sexy and talented ben hecker at Loring today, and he said something about my stupid blog and if i had written anything about the Loring Pasta Bar. I told him that all i had written about was the Kelly Cupell incident.
well, here i am going to talk about the Loring Pasta Bar:
now, it's like the nicest restaurant near campus. if you want to go on a fancy date without driving anywhere...go to the loring pasta bar. it's fancy, not expensive, and is quite the "experience" when you go to the bathroom. the food is pretty good too. and i like everyone that works there.
but is there anything that i think needs improving? well the whole requesting off shifts. i am seriously biting my nails trying to find someone to work for me. it'd be good if i could just request off and have someone else say to someone: YOU HAVE TO WORK FOR JOEY! but that might be unfair if someone said that to me...i mean, we all have our own lives and schedules.
another thing i REALLY want to bitch about is our policy of taking reservations. the old way fine! people came in, they either were seated right away or they had to wait just a little bit. no big deal. now we have to have EVERYONE in at like 5 oclock to get ready. which makes no sense. because they just sit around there and do nothing. taking reservations for 4 people is silly. there's no point. there's always plenty of space. 5 is pushing it. now, taking a reservation for a party of 7 or more would make sense. and 7 is a cute number, isn't it?
the point is, we have huge restaurant so reservations aren't necessary. and then people want their pick of a table (where i just double sat someone) and they complain about why it takes so long to get service.
i have no problem if people want their choice of table. but not when it's super busy. and i have no problem if 4 people want a booth. but not on the main floor. and not in between 5 and 9 at night. seriously they need to know they can't take up too much space otherwise we don't have room for the larger parties.
the verdict: we should abolish the whole reservation system. or severely amend it. this way, we don't need to have the skybar come in until later. or the b-mez.
how i think we should do it:
ok, you can take reservations anytime, but only for parties of 5 or more on weekdays and 7 or more on weekend nights.

so strange right now
this has nothing to do with "the current state of things" but for some reason i have a yucky feeling inside of me. and it's not such a big deal now, but in the future it will lead to great sadness. and then the fortune teller told me that i was straight. ha!
working at southdale was ok. in reality is sucked. but you know what, so what. it's ok. i don't have to go back there. i can go back to my safe home at mall of america (actually i'm thinking of transferring to one downtown, like at portland and washington (i think it's near the eagle...ruh roh!)
and somebody snapped at me today because i was going too slow! how dare he! i hope he gets in an accident!
