(no subject)

When I really enjoy a meal, especially one with a delectable sauce, I always use a piece of bread to clean the plate. I consider it me giving a complement to the chef when I get every last morsel off like that. This was pretty much a learned behavior on my part, something everyone in my family just did.

I didn't realize though that there was a term for it in Italian: "scarpetta", meaning "little shoe".

I really do love having a rich heritage that celebrates food so much. :)

Your Chance For Democracy

FWIW, I did do work on the third option this weekend, so it's really a question of working *more* on that stuff than I already have...

Dr. CocaColaMcDonald's It Is Then

If anyone wants to join me in a little comedy tonight, I'll be at The PIT (W 29th btwn 6 and 7) from 6:30p.m. until 9:00p.m. (I'm going to stay for the show after Dr. CCM)

Why Am I So Lucky?

I went to the PIT tonight to see Dr. CocaColaMcDonald's 21st century protest music played on old Casios and game boys. I was one of five audience members... and three of us were actually staff / members of the PIT. It was kinda funny, kinda not, a performance art kind of thing. I give the guy lots of props though for playing to a five person audience.

Anyway... so I go there, get there about a half hour early, and the ticket guy walks up to me - right up to me - and asks me: "Hey, do you want a free ticket to go see Cry Baby? Tomorrow night at 7:00p.m."

And this is where my great-grandfather's advice comes in handy - "Whenever someone offers you a gift, you take it and say 'Thank You.'" So I say, "Why yes, thank you!" And he says, "Here, take two."

So there you go. I go out to see a show, and I come home with over a hundred dollars worth of tickets.

And Dr. CocaColaMcDonald's will probably be sitting next to me, because he got free tickets from the PIT too.

Some days I feel like the dude from Intacto (rent it, watch it, love it). I'd almost say that I should start buying lottery tickets, except it never really works that way... so I need someone to surreptitiously follow me around and drop lottery tickets on the ground in front of me so that I'll randomly pick them up and they'll be winners...
