I passed my tests today -- 20 drinks in 5 minutes, suckers. I'd like to see YOu try it.

Then I went to the Sal. Army and nabbed a kids t-shirt with dinosaurs and their names printed on it.

I'm all excited because I'm going on a trip. I literally have not been away from the city since last July, which was for a weekend to Ithaca in a car with five (other) insane people eating yogurt and elbowing me and shrieking and fighting.

Also my cravings for a trip have been especially intense because this weekend Jen is going skiing (which I am allergic to and wasn't invited to anyway) and my young man is going to Vegas and as I said Alice is at Mardi Gras having astronomical amounts of fun.

So next weekend (if there is room) I am going on a field trip with the Madagascar folks to Pittsburgh to 1) see the art of James Turrell, the guy who cuts holes in things so you can see the sky and 2) stay at Phat Mandee's house! She is a bald fat trannie (?) jazz chanteuse and is fucking amazing. Also we will be riding down in the truck, which not only moved me to my new house, but the last time we took it out (to the fair!) we had to push-start it (we're talking a double-cab very large truck here) and got stuck at a gas station in New Jersey in the middle of the night.

So it looks like the housewarming is postponed again.

Also, I went for my first bartending interview last night. The people were real nice and hopefully they will adopt me, I mean, let me work there. I'm not telling where it was, but let's just say an old craggy Italian-American man with diamonds on his shirt waved me over to look (or actually, squint) me up and down and say things like "Hey, you got a real pretty name."

the idea of bartending school is so funny!!
i can't believe it actually exists.

being a good bartender has all to do with a great personality, and an eye that trains to the end of someones almost finished drink.

hope you get a job soooOn!

I know what you mean. Some of the people who come through here have this attitude like "I paid my money, where's my job?" And they are exactly the ones who are never going to be bartenders, because they obviously do not dwell in the regular world that the rest of us do.
