you and me could really exist

I was up until 5 in the morning watching movies last night. After a not-so-great weekend and a somewhat awkward encounter, the details of which I will absolutely not go into, I found myself unable to sleep. Stand By Me, Penelope, and Gossip were the features, none of them - with the exception of Stand By Me - were that great. Penelope was cute, had a good cast, nice cinematography and I loved the costumes but otherwise is was just a fairytale chick flick and we all know how hard those are to come by. Gossip is difficult to sum up, there was nothing really wrong with it, but there was nothing spectacular about it either. Nice cast though; James Marsden, Kate Hudson, Lena Headey and Norman Reedus.

I had a customer yell at me over the phone at work this weekend as well. That wasn't exactly a pleasant experience. My GM came over and asked me to put them on hold for a moment and when I asked her she said, "FUCK IT! IF YOU'RE GOING TO PUT OTHER CUSTOMERS BEFORE ME THEN I'M NOT GOING TO WASTE MY FUCKING TIME ON THIS SHIT-HOLE RESTAURANT ANYMORE. *click" I must say, that caught me off-guard a little tiny bit. As if that wasn't enough, she came in the restaurant demanding to talk to the "bitch" on the phone so she could yell at me some more. Fortunately, Mr. Manager intercepted because the woman was obviously crazy and he and I both knew that I had done nothing wrong.

I've been delving into Charlotte Bronte's Villette as of late as well, I almost think it's better than Jane Eyre, though not nearly as talked about. I can't imagine why though, Lucy Snowe is not nearly as righteous as Jane. Don't get me wrong, Jane Eyre is one of my all time favorite books, I just wonder why it has so much more popularity surrounding it than Villette.

See

It was like this when

we waltz into this place

a couple of Papish cats

is doing the Aztec two-step

And I says

Dad let's cut

but then this dame

comes up behind me see

and says

You and me could really exist

Wow I says

Only the next morning

she has bad teeth

and really hates

poetry.
