Work Kicked mY Butte'
First off does Butte = booty with more of an a sound at the end cuz that is what i wanted it to mean. Anywho not much to say except this was prolly one of the worst days of work ever, it was so many problems and busy and crappy and stupid and kicked my ass for the full 13 hours. I woke up early , got there a little early thought i would get a head start and have a great day! No it sucked in every way that it oculd. It made me really want to like go out tonight cuz tomorow is looking like it will be just as bad at work and i hate just like gettin ghome at 930 eating , watcihgn a little tv going to be dand going back at 815 in the mroning when it is such bad days.i didn't go out though cuz i am tired,. i wish i had my own apt on nights like this , something about going home to my own apartment seems nicer and less dreadful. Ugh, thankfully tomrorw is the last day i work this week tough i did say i would go in friday a little if they really needed me cuz we have this whole inventory thing

Um Mike, nothing is actually stopping you from moving out. I mean technically you COULD have your own apartment. You and Sarah- the live at home fo'eva siblings..

Sorry duuuude. I feel your pain. My concert and solo festival are both next week so I'm basically exhausted. Still up for the mall this weekend maybe? Anne works later in the afternoon like at 2ish?
So Bea Arthur passed away today, i loved her. it is odd cuz i was gonna wear my golden girls tshirt today and then decided not to and then i found out she was dead and regretted not paying that tribute today. In her memory I am gonna repost my favorite golden girl's bea moment of all time, when rose took her to Mr. Haha for her b=day. It truly shows all the great sides of Bea Arthur

All I can say is WAHHH!!!! first sophia and now dorothy. and I totally want a golden girls t-shirt. wah. Dorothy was one of the best straight men in the biz. her ability to deadpan was unmatched. wah!
So i celebrated earth day by driving to work on my 23 second commute, driving home on my lunch and then goin gto the movies tonight with (e:jil) land eating popcorn out of a paper tub and drinking pop out of a huge jug! Hooray for the environment! Anywho we went to see 17 Again, and wow it was a really good movie. i know you think lame-o flick but no it was really good. of course it is totally tailored to me and so of course I would love it but it was really funny and good. And it had cheering sequences which i love. The only sad part was when we realized we are exactly like half way between the highschoolers and the adult who turns 17 again! Ugh! That made me feel old! Me and (e:jill) are debating when it is no longer ok to go to these types of movies, but we think we still have a few years.
Oh the other really sad part of it is to tihnk Zack Effron can turn into Matthew Perry. At the end when he turns back it is just a slap in the face of reality. If Zac Effron turns into matthew perry twenty years after highgschool, what the frig do i become? A blob?
Ok that's all for now, oh and me and (e:jill) are thinking of getting friendship bracelets that have like half the heart on each person's? Weird? Or too cool/chic? We are gonna get cool ones , not lame ones, maybe no heart maybe just an engraved message! Possibly we need to get a life
I wish I wasn't so friggin busy and I could go see movies with you. :( I don't even think you've asked me in like months because I will always say no. GRRRRR :( Also, I think friendship bracelets are sweet, but friendship tattoos are the way to go.

Yes, you do become a blob.
Kidding! ;-)
And btw, quite strangely our tastes in movies run very similar. I absolutely adore cheering sequences, dress montages and chase/escape/slick running away sequences and bizzarre imaginary dramatic elements as well. (You didn't admit to the last two thing, but I do.) Those particular preferences mean I see a lot of "teenage/cheerleader/without-a-cause" movies. I am not sure why you care about what you "should be" seeing anyway. I couldn't care less about who others in the hall are. I make sure I laugh like crazy, hoot and cheer everything I see. :) I really need to see this 17 again movie.
Oh, and I recommend The Fall. (around 10000X++ times) It has a lot of bizarre imaginary dramatic elements.

Oh Toronto ..the things you will see
I will write more about my trip later but the main thing is I learned my lesson. If you are in a shadyish area, think hey look at that bar with the dark doors and up the stairs entrance, and really really just wanna drink and there are no bars around and a drag queen outside gives you a "you sure you want to go in there, you are not in Kansas anymore" look then
a. read the warning sign instead of being like eh what can it say
and
b. DO NOT GO IN
Needless to say we saw some things in Toronot I never would think i'd see with (e:jill) and (e:mk) or in public at all for that matter for a brief moment. I guess thats what we get for going in a bar called Goodhandys. I will tel lmore about all this later...
I think this story must be told, and soon. It's too good. Too good. It's too bad I'm oblivious.

This is one of the stories that I want to hear now because I don't know what happened but I wonder How I will feel after it. I also wonder, there was a certain show that filmed in Toronto and crazy stuff would go on in some of those scenes, I wonder if they just filmed the cast in one of those kinds of places, HA.

That is such an awesome story. Post details and photos!
Me, (e:jill) and (e:mk) are going to Toronto for the weekend. We leave at 8:55 tomorrow morning (which means like 1230 by the time we all are ready get more snacks and leave but hopefully it really mean 855 tomorrow!) We plan on lot of shopping and more shopping and more shopping and people watcihng and partying saturday night somewhere bu tnot sure where yet, (we'll just look for cool looking people and follow them wehre they go haha)! And then a stop at IKEA on the way back! I am so excited!!! I'll miss (e:libertad) for the weekend though as we mostly just hang out on weekends! I just read it cost 69 cents a minute to call from canada on my cell phone , that is crazy amounts ! AHH I am so excited for toronto! P.S. I love driving on the QEW cuz you can drive so fast , i remember on my old car, well my frist car as now i have had 4 old cars i guess, it was a ford taurus and it only went up to 80mp on the sppedometer and we were going to Toronto and it was like shaking so violently and hovering past the 80, i tought it would explode for sure but it did not! Ok see ya all next week!

Hope everyone who is going to Toronto Has a good time, for what ever reason they are going. Hopefully (e:mike) and (e:libertad) 69ing gets a lot of dirty post it notes. Been some time since I've been to TO I doubt I'll make it up there this year.

So last night me and the gang were going out for dyngus day and we tried to go to this place by the Broadway Market but the line was way too long to wait in I guess ....anywho.....we are drving and one of the PussyWillow busses (they were driving people from bar to bar) is turing by St. Stanislaus church and totally whacks this parked car on the side of the street and totally damages the side of it and ruins the mirror and stuff. So having myself known how lucky you are to have witnesses when you ar enot there and your car gets wrecked (ie my totaled drunk driver mitsubishi) I wrote down the liscense plate number of the bus and my name and phone number and left it in the windshield. Oh i forgot the best part between the bus and me was a cop car who clearly saw the bus smash into the car bu tthe cop , like the bus just drove away! Oh those are buffalo's finest right there for ya! I'm glad there always looking out for us! ANywho, so then of course i run over a like bucket of beer bottles but luckily my tires did not get cut. So anwho this is all the set up still.....
so my phone dies last night, i oculdn't find the cord when i got home to hcarge it so i found it this morning and left my phone at home while I was at work all day....so then i got two calls from the person whose car was hit....they were under the impression I hit there car and thanked me for leaving the note and left me their office number.....It turns out the person whose car it is is the Mayor of fthe City of Tonanwanda...ok maybe that doesn't seem super exciting but it is kinda neat, like i helped the mayor. I feel like it never hurts to have helped someone in a high place. That's my interesting story for today folks!

You guess the line was too long to wait in? You are crazy. It was clearly too long to wait in. We would have been standing outside forever to get into a place that probably was way too crowded anyways.
Happy easter everyone! I love easter, we have polish food which we would never have otherwise and is yummalicious. And as per (e:pauls) comment on hodown's journal I most certainly still have to search for my easter basket!!!!! How oculd I not? Though the hiding gets a little more lax every year, like it was just on the floor behind the ocmputer today, not so supersleuthy! I love chocolate at easter like the Merkel eggs they are the best !!!!!
I have to say it. I just about never am satisfied with desserts from Spot Coffee and never have been. Ok the one thing i kinda like is the smore thing but otherwise there is always something off about them. Me, (e:paul) and (e:libertad) went to the Delaware spot last night which I hadn't been to in forever, which reminds me does anyone know when the elmwood spot opened because I remember always going to the Delaware Spot when I was younger and can't imagine why if there was an elmwood one, was there not one? I really can't remember at all , and I can't remember when we switched over to the elmwood one. Anywho, so i got like this chocolate , strawberry dream cake and it was no dream, It was like ok plain chocolate cake , no like under average chocolate cake I don't want to even call it ok, and like ok whipped cream. Their chocolate chiop cookies have on more than one occassion tasted like sausage ( i am no tthe only person who thinks this, ask (e:jill) or (e:mk)). So overall, i like spot but its desserts are better left in the case! I always want to like them and so i order them but i am always left bitterly dissappointed!

I get their scones - that is about it. If I want biscotti I'll go to Dolci. I haven't had one of those pieces of cake in 5 years.

Totally agree. I did enjoy their giant Rice Krispies treats though. But that's hard to ruin. I always wanted the cookies to be good but they just weren't. :(

I never thought they were ever good- they look yummy, then they taste mediocre. Sometimes I still go for a cookie, though.

They look so good in the case, and have always been a little wanting. I steer clear, but at the other end of the spectrum our namesake sandwich the Mike, always gets the day rolling right.

Thanks for the warning. I always look at those desserts and after I leave, I often wonder if I made a mistake by not getting them with my very rare coffee there (I like their Java coffee shake). I needn't wonder any more!! :D
So i have the possibility of a new job prospect which while it is not my dream job by any stretch would be a step up from what i am doing now. The really bad part though is that i am totally screwing over my current work if i start when my new job will possibly start. I hate to say it but i really basically run that place and they could not replace me in the next two years! I mean weeks, but prolly even in 2 years they could not replace me. I originally thought the new job was gonna be 330 til midnight so i could work my old job some mornings but now that is not the case and it is 10-630 which leaves me no time for my old job really. So i don't have the new job for sure yet but I think i probably will get it. We'll see. the ohter bad thing is we have a trip planned to (e:libertad)'s mom in florida in july and they have a no days off for 3 months policy so I have to talk to them about that b/c like I already have my ticket and dave has his vaca then and stuff and it would be almost at the end fo the 3 month period. So we'll see, wish me luck.

Congrats! Don't worry about screwing over your old job. You are irreplaceable, but if they can't get someone who can at least try then that is their problem.
Why aren't there performances at Marcella's like tihs with back up dancers and what not..that would be fun. Though Marcellas' performances do occasionally involve a full sub being flung aroudn with lettuce everywhere which is fun too........Here's a little something from my 2 favorite RuPaul drag race contestants..
