12:15 pm - MUSE-ic
|
So, I haven't updated in a while, but thats just too bad for you!!!! Maybe you should talk to me or something, jerks! :-P
Last night, went to see Muse at the metro in chicago with some friends. Its the first time they've toured in the states, so the show was sold out.
First, Jason, Morgan, and I got in my car to meet Jeff at the IHOP at 88 and orchard. We pull off to see him behind the restauraunt (huge parking lot) sitting on his trunk, listening to some tunes. We think nothing of it, and pull up diagonally next to him. He tells us some crazy woman just drove up really slowly next to him, then got out and said "is that your car?" really accusingly. Like he stole it or something. Then she sped off. He thought it was pretty crazy and stupid. We went in the restaurant cuz jason and jeff needed to used the facilities. Morgan and I just wait on the bench. Then the infamous crazy woman comes in and asks Morgan and I if its our car in the back lot. (she figured it was us cuz Jeff is wearing a jean jacket and pilots shades. He also has a 'stache and kinda shaggy hair. Morgan has a bit of a beard and real long hair and an old green army jacket. Jason is wearing jeans and a grey suit coat. I have longer hair, a beard, and I'm wearing a blue marching band jacket with a few patches on it.) I answer with "yeah, its my friends". She kinda gives us a look and then goes to the kitchen. Apparently this ugly 40-something year old woman wearing a bright pink abercrombie shirt is a manager or something there. Jeff returns to the lobby and I tell what just happened. Then I say, "I give the po-po about 5 minutes before they come to get you." He laughs and says, "oh, I'm sure they're almost here". Then jason gets there right when a cop pulls up and comes inside. The manager crazy lady is missing and nobody is at the welcome booth, so Jeff just says, "I'm the guy you're looking for". The cop (total tool) looks stupified and eventually asks him for his liscence. After inspection he declares Jeff to be the owner of the car. The four of us are having a realllllly tough time keeping straight-faced for this whole ordeal. We leave and get into our cars, but the cop is parked directly behind me. Before I get in my car, he yells to me, "Hey, who taught you to park like this?" I tell him that I was just there for a couple minutes and the lot is empty. He repeats his question again since hes so fucking clever. I tell him that a state driver's ed program told me how to park. (although 50 other answers came to mind) He tells me that it only takes a couple seconds more to park properly. Then he leaves. We all bust out laughing at the only action the guy has probably seen in weeks. Then we continue to chicago.
The show was AWESOME!!!! Holy moly. The opening band, The Exit, was decent but I don't think I'll be rushing to buy their album. Three piece band that played original stuff, but it was just ehhh. The guitar player was Jimmy Hendrix's gay nephew. It was creepy. Then Muse started a little after their midnight slotted time. The band was tiiiiiight. So just right there. It was hard to tell they were live, if it wasn't for all the energy. The bass player plays crazy lines in every song, the drummer is like a metronome, and the guitar player/lead singer/piano player is insane. The whole crowd was all about the band and knew the lyrics and it was just hoppin. Best $10 ticket ever.
And what trip to Chicago with Mark would be complete without getting lost? I couldn't remember the exact directions home, so I asked Jeff and he gave me some crazy stupid route. We tried to follow it, but got mixed up on 290 and never caught 88. Instead, we were on Lake Cook Rd. and I pulled off in a church lot and looked at a map. 59 was just ahead, so I took that to 64, but apparently turned the wrong way on 64. After we were in lombard instead of st. charles, we turned around and got home at 4:45. Morgan slept the entire time. I'm not in much pain, just a tiny crick in the neck. My ears are at 95% so I'll be gravy at the concert today. I have a tiny solo, so you should come listen to it. Concert hall at 7 p.m.
Now I'm gonna pack up some of my stuff and clean a little so our visitor tomorrow will want to sub-lease for the summer.

DUDE!! Power Rangers totally stole their outfits from Star Trek. Now all I need to do is see how I can get money out of this...
Then I'll be able to stop working two jobs. I know, I should stop my bitching cuz you all have had to do the same thing if not more than me, but my body is so worn out right now that you're going to have to read it anyway.
Ummmm, I got to hack Monday night. That was pretty fun. I'm about at the same level as the other guys there, so I don't feel out of place. Once it gets warmer out I'll be able to start playing net again. I'm just so psyched about it! I started sewing my own footbag a week ago.
YAY! Betsy just called. Shes at the bakery and wanted to say hi. What a sweetie. I swear, that place can't operate if one of isn't there every minute its open.
HAHAHA, Warf is delivering a baby! This is hilarious. Silly klingon.

8:22 am - The preceeding is a paid advertisement by Ronco:
|
Just set it
(all together)
AND FORGET IT!!
Ron Popiel is an old old man. His daughter...even older! I don't know how it happened, but she really isn't a looker.
Well, now, instead of the old one that only fit a 10 pound turkey, the new one fits a 15 pounder!!! You also get a knife set, the flavor injector, and the REVOLUTIONARY solid flavor injector!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THATS RIGHT!!! You can now inject solid flavors like whole garlic cloves, olives, and other crazy things into your roasts. And because most of what you do with this amazing product is meats, its GREAT for the atkins diet!
Just in case you are INSANE and don't like the showtime rotisserie, just return for a free refund and KEEP THE KNIVES!!
I am just in so much awe here, I had to help everyone out there start making amazing food for the simply RIDICULOUS 4 easy payments of only $39.95.
Buy yours now! or buy 5 of them! I don't know why you would though, cuz the new larger size will fit nearly anything. Do it anyway, you never know when you'll need 5 15-lb. turkeys or 35 lobster tails.
I have reason to believe that if youget the showtime rotisserie along with the space age vacuum machine, you can go to those bulk food clubs, buy a bag of 49 chickens, cook them all, and then vacuum seal them, and you'll save like $28329.50 a year.

12:27 pm - Belated Entry
|
So I started working at the bakery, again. Its not too bad. I'm glad I could get away from the customers for a while, though. Most of them are just so stupid and stuck-up!!!
Except this one guy (edited for patriotism)
This one freedom guy comes up to me and says, "Do you have that freedom toast?" Ok, so he very well might not have been freedom, but he had such a heavy freedom accent, I just assumed. Since I wasn't 100%, I didn't punch him in the face. I said, "yes, ours is baked and it has raisins and cinnamon in it." He was so amazed and said that ours is the best freedom toast he's ever had and he can't find anything like it anywhere else. I was very happy because this guy obviously is an expert on freedom food issues. He was so very friendly and I'm guessing that the only reason he speaks with the accent is because he likes getting punched in the face.
Other than that, most everyone that comes in is a jerk. I told one lady the 5 soups we had that after she asked since she didn't see the big list on soup board. They were: chicken noodle, chili, clam chowder, cream of asparagas, and roasted tomato. Those are freakin regular soups!! She heard me rattle them off and said "yuck!" and ordered something that wasn't soup. Her friend then proceeded to ask me what soups we had that day, too. Morons.
We're also supposed to take names for to-go orders so its more friendly and such. I asked one lady and she looked appalled and declared, NO. I told her it was for her order, because she feared I was gonna need her address and phone number, too, for marketing or something. Betsy and I decided that if we get rude customers, we should just take the liberty of giving them our own names, such as "ass hat" or "shemale" or "crap for brains". It would give the manager a good laugh I'm sure when he hands them their food.
Yes, I still work at the bank, too. I go there in about 20 minutes for some good times of hitting the ol ten-key.
Hmmmm, as far as not-work goes, I think I have whatever Betsy was just sick with. I'm taking some of the tiniest pills and throat drops and stuff. I was gonna go to footbag last night, cuz about a week ago, I discovered NIU now has a footbag club. I'm super stoked about it, and will try to start attending next week when I should be healhier. Our cats still sneeze a little bit, but I think the amoxicillan is working for them. They don't fight me as much when I give to them any more. The IRS needs to send my freakin refund already!!!!!!!! I neeeeeeeeeed that cash! Ok, time to go get pretty for work.

In honor of the prestigous holiday that I am getting paid for today, I thought I'd take a poll of everyone's favorite president. It doesn't have to be the "best" president, just your favorite.
My vote goes to Martin VanBuren. You just can't beat those chops, man!!

I was just practicing my horn and got a C!!!! Thats right! The second C above the staff! I know most of you don't know/care what I'm talking about, but this is huge for me. Because of this notorious note, I was able to play the Rachmaninov Vocalise straight through. It was another day of playing my horn that makes me so anxious to get my degree and be able to do this for a living. Yay!

Man, that Jerry is one slick mouse. While tom was directing, jerry walked up to him and started dancing with him. Tom didn't even notice until he got spun into a bassist. Now jerry is pleading on his hands knees! All he wants is a chance to conduct the orchestra! The poor guy.
It has got to be the coolest to be part of a band/orchestra that makes recordings for cartoons. Everything always has to synch up exactly. That'd just rock so much.
OH NO, THERE GOES THE STRING SECTION! And the winds, too. Jerry's directing, and tom is playing all the instruments by himself. What a player!
Ok, on to my post. Uhhh, I go to work every day. I ummm, see Betsy on the odd occasions we don't have work at the same time. It'll be nice to spend some time with her this weekend.
I shoveled the front and back walks/porches and stuff around the house again. I did it last time, too. I'm just that nice of a guy.
And for my closing argument. Tom should freakin win more! His rube-goldberg inventions and stuff just rock too hard for them to not work at the last second because jerry is a little bitch.

11:46 am - Come on down! You're the next contestant on the Price Is Right!
|
Thanks rowdy roddy!
Welcome to another fun-filled game of pricing with your host, ME.
I haven't been up to too much lately. I've been working at the bank, and thats pretty fun. I work in the proofs department and run checks and deposits and such through my machine and punch it in on the keypad to make sure it all balances out. I also encode everything so it can go to chicago and be taken/given to respective banks and accounts. Its great, cuz I like numbers. Also, the bank (castle bank) is directly behind my house, so I walk to work every day. I have been saving so much money on gas, its insane. I have to do a little driving each week for the job, and its compensated at 37.5¢ per mile. Every trip I have to make is 14 miles, and comes out to $5.25 each trip. I've done 6 trips so far and after 14, my sheet will be full and I get my $70 bonus!
I subbed at a basketball game last night for stoner dave and it wasn't so bad. More fun than the games over break, I'd say. The bass players were like 99 times better than fallon, too. Ben brought his 6-string and was playin some funky stuff.
Hmmmm, I went bowling with Morgan, Jason, and Jenny, and bowled pretty well, I think I averaged 130 or so. I also just went bowling with Shaun and Jen, and sucked it up big time! I got a 97, 67, and then another 67 with my left hand! OY
I bought Clerks: The Animated Series on dvd. Hilarious. I've watched it a couple times through already. The kitten is getting huge and momma is pretty much all better from getting spayed. Its baby's turn Thursday. Thats when he has to say goodbye to the ol' kittie nards. I feel so sad, he sure likes licking them! Hes watching me type now, I think the cursor amazes him. Betsy and I are still goin strong and seeing her every day is the best. She made me some really good shrimp and rice with garlic and balsamic sauce and stuff. Sooooo good. I just made some campbells chicken noodle soup and added a tomato/chicken boullion cube to it. That is also pretty good, not as good as the shrimp, but good.
I do believe thats it, before we cut to commercial, you should take my quiz that I just remade. Its in my AIM profile. My s/n is Radbad8 for you people too lazy to look in my user-info.
current mood:  awake
current music: My sprite is fizzing.

Yay! Heres a glimpse into Mark!
I recently got hired at Castle Bank. Its the bank RIGHT BEHIND my house. I walk there. It rocks.
I work in the proofs department, so I get this desk/machine that has a 10-key adding machine type thing on it, and I go through all the checks, deposits, and other transactions from the day from our 10 locations. Its me and 3 girls, and its pretty tedious, and even boring when we're not working, but I like it. I don't have to see customers or anything. It pays well and I get 30+ hours a week. I also get 401(k) and paid holidays and stuff. I also get to where a shirt and tie every day except for business casual fridays, where I get to "tone it down" with a nice sweater or polo. Other than the job, not much news to report. Just got back from my last holiday pep band gig. Twenty more bucks in the pocket! My online courses start next week. One of them is international relations, and that sounds pretty interesting
BYE!
(sorry for the "bye", I just can't stand ending my posts without a salutation)
current mood:  bored
current music: The Doors - "Spanish Caravan"
