We're going to Boston for my birthday!!!

My birthday's in June, but we're going to Boston in August, because that's when the Indian and playing the Redsox. Sooo. Hotel room with a private hot tub, dinner at Ming Tsai's restaurant Blue Ginger, possibly a day in new york, and an Indians game at Fenway. Awesomeness.

Also, Dave's restaurant drama is over for now... they finally got approval from the historical commission, so the contracters start on Monday and his bar should open in six weeks (although, since dealoing with contractors, they're thinking more like eight). And that means we should get the FREE apartment in the middle of DOWNTOWN with an amazing kitchen which includes THREE ovens and FOURTEEN burners on two stoves.

Pretty much life is awesome.

Asheville is a cool people. So people need to come visit me. NOW.
Or in a few months, when I should be in an amazingly rocking apt.
But mainly NOW. I want visitors dammit.

Somebody called me the other day from a blocked number while I was at work and I went "a blocked number.. fuck it. Maybe if they leave a voicemail I'll pay them some attention". But alas, no voicemail. And they called back a few seconds later. So I was like.. fuck it. And I answered, and was serenaded with "the times they are a changing...". And Tracy said it wasn't her. And I'm confused.

Happy Valentine's Day!! Dave's sick, so instead of him cooking me my V-day dinner, I'm cooking him chicken soup :)

It's officially the day before valentine's day (i think?) and.. well.. I don't care. And since Dave can't drive anywhere, I know that he hasn't done anything and he doesn't care. What a strange, strange thing. I guess it was different last year 'cause we were three hours apart and now that we live together, it doesn't matter. But then again, last year was a) and amazing amazing dinner and b) an amazing dinner eaten on the floor watching Nascar. So maybe it's okay that we're not doing anything because, I mean, who could possibly improve upon Nascar? Ur... I mean it's okay because EVERY day is Valentine's day in our apartment o' love. Heh.

In other news.. I'm bored. Not that I ever hav friends anyway, but takin off a semester the same time as moving is a silly move because... well.. there's no school to meet people at. My best friend is LindeR. She's from Florida and she's like 60 and she's my favorite person.

Bittersweet news about the weather... I had to scrape off my car this morning. But on the other hand, it's December 15th and the first time this season that I've had to do that. That's pretty awesome. I also turned in my notice at work today, so I'm officially a-quitting. Yay. And besides that.. um... I brined some pork. Ew/yay?

I don't know that I've made mention of Dave's restaurant adventures on Livejournal, so.. a quick recap. He was working for this awesome chef-man named Philip for this awesome asian-fusion restaurant named shangri la. But then the not-so-awesome investors pulled out and had to pay off philip, who owned 20%. So now Philip has 4 1/2 million dollars, most of which is going into a new restaurant. So Dave's helping him out with this new place and yay. It's going to be a restaurant/bar/something else (there are three store-fronts and they're not yet sure what's happening with the third)

So Dave and I were talking one night and decided that the bar should totally be named the frozen monkey. And that the signature drink should be a frozen banana drink, preferably with coconut on top. So Dave told Philip that he'd run the bar instead of running the prep kitchen (he got his choice)

So today Dave went to this independent restaurant owners and chefs of asheville thing today, and is now the official chef de cuisine of the frozen monkey bar and grille. His description was "so this dude gets drafted and moves to like costa rica to get out of it, and this is what he would open". so caribbean hippy/jam band except for yuppies. and all their burgers will be kobe beef and they're seafood burgers with in-season sauces and shit like that.

"Marilyn Braun, the coordinator for Greensboro Emergency Management, said the smell may be a reoccurrence of a mystery odor that has surfaced over the past decade that sometimes is accompanied by a cloud or a vapor. It occasionally pops up in the fall and spring and hasn't happened in the past two to three years, Braun said."

Is it just me, or this not of great concern? I'm not entirely sure that it should just be passed of as a mystery.
Oh Greensboro, if only you had a river to catch on fire.

Yeah, definitely glad that I've seen Dave for a maybe a couple hours over the past two days (including a whopping maybe 5 waking minutes today) and that I've been invited, oh, nowhere.

Yeah, definitely feeling the love.

Welcome to my 4:43 AM post. Shouldn't she be a-sleeping, one might ask? Why yes, of course. But you throat feels like.. well.. it's too late for similes. Basically, it hurts. A lot. Like crazy. And while I've never really looked at my throat since getting my tonsils out (I think that tonsil-less throats are digusting... more so than tonsiled throats even), I think there may be some oddity on the side that hurts. But the good news is that Christoph the crazy friendly and crazy cool navy medic man should be here in my very apartment tomorrow. so maybe he'll offer to look at it or something.

I'm starting to get nervous about meeting Dave's mom (and stepdad, but whatever... moms are scarier). In some ways it would be cooler if we could just have dinner and get out of there and be over with, but this whole "hey, take a condo on carolina beach for fall break" thing is cool... I just wish I already knew her. 'Cause now it's like.. well... I'm meeting her under the pretense of her being so crazy nice, plus it means we'll be in the area for like five days and... oh well. I guess I need to just get over it. I went to the florist and fould the perfect little arrangement to pick up on Friday and bring to her,though. Yay.

Umm.. yeah... the advil's kicking in so I'm outta here.

So, I have this bracelent from China Town, from when we went to nyc last spring break. It's been dress-down week at work (if you make a donation to United Way) and I figured hey, why not break out the bracelet.

So I wore it to work yesterday and today, and I have gotten several compliments, including one woman talking about how beautiful it was,and a lady at work saying it's sooo pretty and she wants it. And then a bunch of other "oh, your bracelet is really pretty" type things.

But there's one problem: it's bright and it's gaudy. In fact, those are the two things in life that compelled me to buy it. I'm pretty sure I went "This is bright and this is gaudy and I need something bright and gaudy from china town"

Hopefully I'll get a picture of it up tomorrow. And you will all understand.

so, I still haven't heard back from work about getting fall break off. Mind you, I requested it off well over a month ago, and I've been checking occasionally ever since. For you see... Adrian (the guy who does scheduling) is a prick. Our schedules go up on Monday, and the week starts on Wednesday. No shit. That's insane!! I didn't mind so much over the summer because I wasn't doing anything else and I could easily schedule life around my work schedule. But now? I'm not sure how I'm supposed to schedule appts with professors or study groups or any of that good stuff when I don't know when I'm going to stupid work. Blah.

But fall break's the important part. Dave and I are planning on going to Carolina beach and having a spectacular time. His mother's letting us use one of her condos. His step-father has connections with two fish mongers down there, so we can get really cheap fish caught the same day. His stepfather also has this crazy miada that's all modified for racing and there's this race track that he and Dave go to. Plus Kevin lives in Wilmington so we can hang out with him... basically it will be fabulous.

IF I get the time off work. This little vacation is worth sooo much more to me than a job with such incompetent fuckoids. But a job is a wee bit necessary.

So I was "training" this new girl at work, and I can't think of her name but she's really cool. But she's really involved with church and is upset about the fact that she MUST work Sundays at the big HT (umm... have i mentioned that Adrian's an ass?) and she has this interview at wal-mart like tomorrow or something and if she can get the hours she wants there w/o working on Sundays, then gone is she. And that would be sad.

Basically, my job (as well as the jobs of most highschoolers and undergrads everywhere) sucks. Bad.

HA. you had to identify/describe/generalize 7 of 10 terms (and he'd accidentally put only 9 on the test, so he gave us the 10th of "Muhammed", AKA a free point) and one essay.

Don't you hate how that always happens?

Dave was right. With 25-ish chapters plus articles plus "everything in the middle east section of the new york times since class began" all being fair game, there was just no way that the test could be that comprehensive.

So now I know.. the class kicks your ass, but the tests don't. Rock on.

Next time I freak out about a test/paper, I give everyone and anyone permission to kick me or yell at me. I'm never as unprepared as I think, they're never as difficult as I think, they're never workth THAT much of my grade and they're never worth freaking out about.

This is, oh, the third? time i've realized this in the, oh, month that school's been back in session.

Have your feet/yellingness ready for Wednesday night: big test on Thursday!

And then I shall drink, as the week-long hell that is 5 tests and a paper shall be over.

Would *rice* ice-cream and chocolate vodka be good?
The *rice* worries me.

Sorry for the 3:45-AM-and-slightly-cracked-out writing style.
This is why I outlined my paper and worked out some paragraphs, but decided to wait until the morning to actually write a paper.
Cohesiveness is good.
Medieval Synthesis and the wonders it brought for the Islamicate before the European rennaisance fucked over the Middle East.
It allowed the majority of Muslims to strike a balance between muslim law and life in a non-shari'a-governed state. So they ruled. And thought the Europeans were barbaric (which, for a while, they were. no lie). But then the Europeans weren't-so-barbaric. But the Islamicate ignored that fact until it was much too late and Europe was waay ahead technologically. which meant their armies were more advanced. Which meant the Western world dominated and could colonize the Middle East. And that led to all the things we think about now. Like their animosity toward the west and their struggle to modernize and, in part, the israeli-palestinian conflict. Which, one could say, is why Iran may or may not be creating nuclear weapons.

Thank god that's not what my essay sounds like. At all. :)

Umm... i'm gonna turn my Nepalese civil war paper in a day late.
But it's a 200-level class.
Where nobody knows anything.
And the teacher accepts late papers.
Plus... it's due tomorrow.
But I'll still get an A in the class for sure.

I have a feeling i'm going to read this post tomorrow and be ashamed and delete it. But it was fun for now!!
