So, I did it. I am interviewing with a well known restaurant chain about working as a waitress on Thursday.  I will be surrounded by tourists who will ask me every day “Where is the Aquarium? Where’s the ESPN Zone? Where’s a good bar?”  It sucks but it will all be worth it because I will make extra funds for my future home.  At least that’s what I’ve been telling myself when I start to freak out.  In other news, I am adding more pages to this site.  It is pretty boring now, so to all the people who keep asking where the kitty cam is and where’s the beef, I apologize.  It will be here soon.

I have been talking about getting a part time job so many times, but never got the urge to do it.  I worked at a bar for over 2 years.  After the tenth time some loser hits on you, it gets annoying.  My problem is that I talk to stupid people every day, why punish myself more?  Is buying a house really worth the pain?  I tried looking for an apartment or house with cheaper rent.  No luck.  I can’t live with anyone because of bad past experiences.  Yes, those so-called friends took my food, clothes and men!  So what’s a girl to do?

Yesterday I chatted with Brett Ratner, the director for Rush Hour, Family Man, and Rush Hour 2 on Eonline’s Film School 2001.  He also did a lot of music videos too.  It was so cool!  He answered two of my questions. I will die a happy woman now.

Well I don’t know about you, but I had an exciting weekend.  My happy hour went very well on Friday.  It’s not good to wake up drunk, only to have a few hours to make yourself and your house look better than they already are and cook a fabulous meal!  My good friend Devon was in town.  I made salmon with mustard and dill sauce, long grain wild rice, and broccoli.  I am not going to go there with the deflated angel food cake.  It went well, and yes, my house was very clean!  Then we headed over to the show.  It was excellent.  I hung out for the after party, and no I did not drink too much.

I love Baltimore. Why? Because there is always something exciting, like a train derailment or something.  This happened in front of my building.  And you know what? I still have to go to work.  Traffic is jacked up.  You can’t park near the building. Most of the national news broadcasts say the city was “temporarily crippled.”  Hello, the fire is still going.  There goes our bid for the Olympics.

I had to shed some wisdom to a friend today.  Actually, I just told him to suck it up.  Everyone refers to the Godfather for advice.  I refer to Incubus.  Don’t mock me, they are the shit!  For example, if ‘the corporate man’ tries to bring you down by not giving you the proper raise you deserve, reflect on what Incubus would say, which is “If I let them make me/I’d be more inclined to bow/The powers that be would have swallowed me up/And that’s more than I can allow.”  Prophetic. Perhaps you don’t quite know if you should quit your job and become a slacker.  Try thinking “I guess it’s possible that I have been a bit distracted/and the directions for me are a lot less in demand/Will I ever get to where I’m going?/If I do, will I know when I am there?”  Do I have a favorite?  Oh yes.  I refer to it when yet another guy turns into a jerk: “If you let them fuck you/There will be no foreplay/Rest assured/They’ll screw you complete/Until your ass is blue and gray.”  Amen my brothers, amen.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A new kind of romance is featured. Imprint style, don’t follow others. Stress original thinking, independence and creativity. Leo will play dramatic role.

What kind of shit is this? The one thing astrology taught me is that there is an asshole for every sign, no matter how compatible you are.
Secretly, you wish these things would be true.

In case you haven’t noticed, my web site has changed!  Oh my goodness! What will happen next?!?!  Look forward to flipbooks, more pessimism, and other stuff in my bag of tricks.
