Daily Update

Last night I went to the Cheesecake Factory with my friends that are in town from
the Big Apple. Wow was it good. Jeff came with too. While there I apparently was
obnoxious. Morgan, the waitress, was really nice... but a little slow. Then there
was me, just goofing off, had to get her attention a few times so I would either
stand and wave for up to a full 60 seconds at a time, or plant my chair right in the
middle of the asile. then when one of the servers would be running around the
corner they would run into my chair and then try to excuse themselves for running
into me. "Oh, no worries, but now that I have your attention..." then I'd ask for
stuff. that way I could be involved with the conversation and get peoples
attention. two birds, one stone. I would also yell across the resturant for Morgan
to come over at times. But thats what you're supposed to do right? Rich, one
friend with us, reminded the group of the first time I met his wife. Now this is
all from Rich, cause I've chosen to forget it, but according to him upon him
introducing his wife to me I said "Hi, nice to meet you,... nice berret", (she was
wearing a berret at the time) then I rolled my eyes, turned my head and acted like I
had just been grossed out. (a reference to Caddyshack: hat/free bowl of soup
scene). It was in a school setting so I was feeling pretty comfortable I might add.
I don't remember acting that annoying, but apparently I was. She was pretty
suprised having just met me; and trying to recover, I tried to explain that it
wasn't her, it was just the hat and if she knew french people Like I knew them, she
too would understand. Luckily Rich was there to smooth things over for me.
Immediatly after that Mark wanted to add in that he and his wife had similar
experiences with me at school. I allegedly would never refer to her by name, only
Mrs. Mark. And I would ask him questions about her when she was right there. Stuff
like: "Does it bother Mrs. Mark of I do this?", or "Do you or Mrs. Mark want
anything from the store?". Innocent stuff right? Well, I was funnier then.

So I was unable to go running last night due to the special circumstances at the
eatery. I figure a day or two wouldn't hurt me seeing how well that I've been
doing. Maybe tonight I can re-prove myself. I think this next time I'm going to
tie ribbons to my arms and lower legs and forehead. I will be a one man parade.

I started painting again last night. It has been a while. I have been bottling up
most of my creative juices for this such an occasion. I have about 4 painting ideas
that need to be worked out all inside of the next month, hopfully. And I can not
neglect my responsibilities to the Man-Box project. So don't tell the others about
the painting stuff. Wow, we havent worked on the Man-Boxes for a few weeks now.
All I can say is that they are going to be so freaking cool!

I had do make a late night trip down town to SC's campus again.

I practiced my yodeling late into the night as I responded to a bunch of emails.
The neighbors are going to love me.

Did I tell you about the flock of killer Seagulls that tried to attack me yesterday?
well, they did. In my parking lot at work there were like 20-30 seagulls waiting
for me by my parking spot as I arrived. I think the ninja that have after me put
them up to it.

i'M listening to Pink floyd right now. I'll admit, its a little weird.
