My parents were not hippies but they were also not big movie fans. Plus, they never let us watch anything worse than E.T. That's not entirely true. I saw Top Gun in theaters but that was only because it was about airplanes and my dad loved airplanes. So I got to see a totally not gay Tom Cruise make out with a totally gay Kelly McGillis. I never really got into pop music either. I just listened to whatever my friends played at their house. In fact, there was so little pop music in my house that when I needed a record album for an art project (we were to redesign the cover), the best I could do was an Up With People album. When they displayed everyone's artwork, mine was displayed between a Ratt album and a Mötley Crüe album. I signed my artwork with the smallest signature possible. I may have even intentionally misspelled my name.
I did know that Chris is starting a brewery. That sounds completely overwhelming. What is he calling it? Does he have a website that we can slyly plug on this site? I should probably taste his beer first, though. Screw that, I'm sure it's awesome.
I was enraged by the candy bar because he sent it with a note that read, "You're worth more than $100,000." I had just been in his office working on a major project during which he was nothing but a pain in my ass. I guess I should have returned the envelope with a hole cut in the bottom and written on it, "You were completely worthless." Instead I just fumed about it for two years. That makes me the bigger man, right?
Your living situation sounds a lot like my living situation just before Dee and I moved into our condo. She lived with me and Jason for a month, then Jason moved out and it was just me and Dee for a month. I guess your living situation wasn't just like my living situation, it was more like Dee's living situation.
Ugh. There is absolutely zero reason to film anything with an iPad. I just got an iPad and the camera on that thing is shitty in well-lit situations. I can't imagine how bad it is in a poorly lit bar. It doesn't have a zoom because it's a super shitty camera. Why did they let her on stage? Any nutjob who brings an iPad to a bar and hasn't come straight from work or isn't using it to run the DJ booth is an asshole. I wish I was there with my candy bar so I could deliver a beat down.
I called out one of those candy bar kids on the train the other day. He had a beaten up box with some candy in it and asked me if I wanted some so he "could get uniforms for his baseball team." I asked him what position he played. He said, "Shortstop." I asked him how long he had been playing baseball. He said, "Five years." I asked him what he's supposed to do when he's hit a ground ball with runners on first and third and one out. He said, "Throw it to first." I said, "You're lying. You don't play shortstop." He asked me if I still wanted to buy a candy bar and I just laughed. I'm pretty sure the lady next to me muttered, "Asshole" under her breath. She was 100% correct. I mean, everyone knows there's no soliciting on the CTA.
