Daily Update

My Car is still broke. I went over there right after work, and all the work they've done hasn't fixed the problem. Oh boy. I wish they would have told me that right when I got there, rather than having me wait in the grease stained lobby, which smells of musky car parts, for about an hour. For crying out loud, its not a hospitle!, just tell me to come back!

Kristen came over seeking help with designing the Girls Camp t-shirts. I really don't think I was that much of a help. Its hard enough getting stuff to look good on me, let alone a bunch of teenage girls. So that was mostly KA's department. I was just full of wonderful suggestions. I eventually left a phone message on someone's machine at the t-shirt company telling them they had bad hair.

Dinner had to be cancelled due to the Batmobile being in the shop, but lucky for me, KA had a free minute to take me somewhere in her grand metal chariot.

We ended up at California Fresh. I got a Chinese Chicken Salad. And here I thought that Chicken Salad's were from America. I was a little upset when I didn't find a fortune cookie with my salad. I figure the 'healthy' salad would compensate for my poor running the day before. It was quite the meal I tell you. The only chinese part of the salad must have been in the form of 'manderin oranges'. Everything else looked pretty american. As I cracked the seal of this container holding my salad, it was like a breath of fresh air. The salad itself was like a pilsbury dough canister, when you crack it open it bursts to life and it just about doubles in size. Well, thats what happened to this salad. That must be the chinese part of it, enchanted salad with secret ninja magic. So I pick up the nicely trimmed plastic fork and start to stab at the salad bloom before me. This container must have been enchanted because as I ate, the ammout of salad didn't go down. I tried to eat at a faster rate than the salad would replentish itself. I had to stop for a breather twice. Also the bread they sent with this 'Enchanted Chinese Salad' was just like cake. I think they took it out of the oven only an hour earlier, just for me. The enchanted salad must have known I was coming. I ate more. I was winded. I was finally making a dent in this salad mass. The deeper I dug into it, the more suprises I found. It also had carrots, and onions, and almond slivers, oh my! And I can't forget the 'Chicken product' that is almost fake chicken and it has been toasted to look like it was grilled. It was an exciting time for me. I almost wanted to take it home and see if it could grow baby salads. I could breed it just as California Fresh had done with its parents. But that idea slipped my mind, and I kept eating until it was just about gone, or just dead.

"So you think you can Dance" was on again last night. It was the Vegas show. I thought I was going to have to miss it for a minute. But Emily Came to my rescue. I called her to tell her not to wait, but she was 'in the neighborhood', and offered to pick me up and drop me off after watching the most exciting hit show, yes the one that has a name to long to type more than once per email. I'll come up with an abreviation by next time hopfully. Anyway, the kids on that show are so easy to make fun of. They are practically asking for it. One sad note, both my number 3 and 4 girls were voted off. Its a sad day. I would have loved voting for them. I can barley remember who the other 3 were in the top five.

So after that amusment, I remembered a fast approaching deadline I have for a painting. So I set up my painting studio back on the dining room table. I'm not quite sure if the roomates love that idea. Its painting and Man-Boxes all over that table for the time being. Anyway, I conqured good ground last night, so tonight I was goaling to complete the first layer, as well as starting to refine some of the items that needed details, fabrics, walls, ceiling, window, painting on wall, and chair. I didn't have that much time because it was already late. One thing that i was happy about was that the paint was still wet! It was supposed to be that way. I could still work with it, and the colors were better than the ones I was using before. I switched paint brands. It lasts much longer in the air, and it desolves in paint thinner. What a fashionable idea. I still tried using some of the cheap brand, and it just messed things up. I also tried mixing the cheap stuff with the good stuff, and that was just a questionable mess. I'll probably end up covering it up later. I wasn't able to get that into the painting process as my teacher Michaelangelo showed me. I might have time for that tonight though.

I'm listening to the Best of Swiss Yodeling. Its been a while, and I need to practice.
