Some jackass came in just as we were about to close up the grill. The fatass and his ugly wife complain because there were more wings than legs in their Buffalo wing order. Then they sit around lolligagging for twenty minutes past closing. I'm sick of ugly fat people and their stupid complaints, take your shit to Arby's.
Restuarant Review: Qdoba, on the Corner. Bigass burritos with habanero sauce and chicken mole. Very good for fast food, and cheap! The rice was perfect, it made me realize that I love rice. The pinto beans weren't as good as Baja's. Fake Mexican, but filling and good.
Annoying People List, Continued:
David T. Lindsay. Movie reviewer for Stomp and Stammer who can't keep his ultra-conservative vitriol out of his reviews. Shut up already you dipshit. The Matrix Reloaded sucked because it was a shitty movie, not because it was anti-war. If you are so into this war of ours I suggest that you enlist your ass in the army. Maybe you should make the sacrifice you are asking your betters in the armed services to make. God, his reviews just ruined a perfectly good zine which included two great articles on Song Poems and Rocket from the Tomb.
Speaking of RFTT, when is David Thomas going to get a MacArthur Genius grant. He's been fookin brilliant for thirty years now.

Just got back from holidays with the in-laws in Boston. It was really fun. My wife went overboard and bought me a G4 Mac Laptop, it's still being shipped, but I cannot wait to get it into my oily mitts. What I got her sucks assloops in comparison: a wallet, some maternity clothes, heated backmassager, fancy socks, a Dylan DVD. She also got me a Gamecube game and some new clothes. She must be hooking on the side. I'll buy her a thousand dollar pair of Mahno Blahnik shoes for her birthday, that'll show her!
Work today was outrageous. I had to open fifteen minutes early for all of the Contintental Tire Bowl watchers. Made some cash off of the drunks, though.
Here's my annoying people of the day:
1. The lady who sat in the smoking section with an oxygen tank in one hand and a burning Marlboro Light in the other. No further comment. Just that maybe some people are too stupid to be allowed to go on living.
2. The grandma whose grandkid knocked down a fifty-dollar christmas decoration. The ceramic St. Nick was sitting on a ledge between two sections. The little shithead knocked the thing over into the other section, then grandma went over to the other side, gathered up all the pieces and then proceeded to *HIDE*them. Did she think I did not see her? If she hid it then it would go away? Les - who was the one who lent the ceramic doll to the restaurant foolhardedly in the first place (they belonged to his cuckolding ex-wife anyway) - said he would just glue it back together; he was just glad no one stole it.
New section of my blog: Book Reviews, Yea!
Here's the books I read this week:
1. The Neal Pollack Anthology of American Literature - Neal Pollack. 3 1/2 thumbs up! Gets kinda one-note jokey at times, but thought it was funny enough in places to read aloud to my wife (she groaned, I don't think she appreciates all the facets of my humor). Was kinda disturbed bythe fact that he wrote much in the way that I think. Of course, I am not the greatest living american writer.
2. Bringing Down the House - Eric Mezrich. Fun book I read in the Pittsburgh airport. MIT kids screwing it to Vegas. Everytime I read a book of this ilk (read The Eudaemonic Pie immedietely, assuming, of course, that you haven't already. Read it again, it's a great book; see also Fast Company and the Man with 100,000 Breasts) I believe that I can do what the protaganists do. I forget that I am not a math genius, and that there isno way I can count cards. Yet the fantasy is still harbored in my paltry mind. Last time I played blackjack in the Casino in Malbaie, Quebec, I won about sixty dollars, but it was Canadian money. A year and change after reading Word Freak I am still trying to become a Scrabble champion, but my literati rating only hovers above mediocre-good. In fact, last night some asshole forced me to forfeit, even though I was winning. The courteous thing to do, which he did not, would have been to extend the game if I take too long between turns, especially the first time. Second time, go ahead and boot the slowpoke.

Here's a list of people who annoy me:
1. The guys who come in before basketball games and insist on talking politics and then assaulting me with rightwing propaganda they heard on Rush that day. Reminds me of Dan, who denied the Holocaust, and then two months later was dead of a severe brain tumor.
2. Last night at the bar there were a bunch of people who brought their kids in to run around while they sat at the bar for hours getting sloshed. These people are losers. I don't feel bad teaching their kids dirty jokes and giving them info on drugs and how cool they are.
3. People who smoke, have cellphones, or drive SUVs. Of course this is a huge group of people, and everyone hates them anyway.
4. This idiot I was just playing Literati with who cancelled midgame just cause I was winning. You're both dumb and a wimp. Take your beating.
5. Our president is a chimp. Just thought it needed to be said.
