Oh Boy! at the Oh Boy! Diner
After the horrific blow of not having a library job lined up for me, the rest of the world is functioning normally, and luckily has included me in its warm embraces.
Last night Chester and I hung out with Manny, a dealer at the casino. It's weird that we get along so well with someone who's 38 years old! Then again, the Librarian is as old as my dad and we click like butter. We watched baseball and drank a few brews while chatting about music, movies, sex, high school, regional dialects and accents, and the very conservative visitor Manny is having over on Sunday. Apparently some girl who was into him in high school started emailing him, and they've been hitting it off. I hope Manny gets lucky. He hasn't had sex in a looooong time, and it sounds like he might really have a thing going with this conservative girl.
We all got hungry so we decided to see if the Oh Boy! diner was open. Construction on that place has taken years!!! It used to say "Opening in January 2006!" I believe, then it was February...then March...then April and still it was an empty lot with piles of lumber and metal. But to our surprise, they JUST opened this past Monday!
I got french toast stuffed with apples, and Chester and I split an order of the best cheese fries I've ever had. Manny had a patty melt, and we all drank Coca Cola. Then, we shall call her...Susan! Yes, Susan, a girl I used to work with at the salon, came in with some young-looking boy. They ordered big glasses of milk but only took like 3 sips of it. That seemed to bother Manny; his perturbance made me laugh. I can't wait to go to this diner while stoned. It has silver ceilings and retro robot/space art all over the place. AND...the hand drier in the bathroom actually dries. It does more than dry; it literally blows the loose skin on your hands around. I took a video of it on my cellphone, but I forgot to email it to myself to post. It was pretty trippy.
After that we dropped Manny back at home and went back to my place to watch the second run of Adult Swim. THe good lord, well, the Lord of Weed anyway, always provides. We ran out on Monday night, but when Chester cleaned out The Tank the other day, she found a little nubbin under the passenger's seat! So we packed our pipe and watched Family Guy slightly buzzed. As I write this entry I'm waiting for Chester to get her ass over here so we can go to the library and buy more books.
Well, I can't remember if there was anything else I wanted to journal about. Oh yea! There's a full-time library job at Mitchell College, a local institution in New London, that I am so applying for. I just have to wait until Monday for my boss to write me a reccomendation. I really hope this works out. This would be the Great Magnet's way of showing me justice, that when you hold out and have peace, something better will come along.
I feel so dirty, but I love MySpace. Thought it'd never come to that, but here we are.
SIMPSONS MOVIE TONIGHT!!!! God, this is like the event we've been waiting our entire lifetimes for. Granted the newer eps of the show haven't thrilled me like the legendary seasons of the 90s and very early 2000s, but I'm still a Simpsons fan for life.
I've got to go brush my teeth. They feel grody. Latah!
