Jesus Christ

I went to see The Killers tonight for the first time--nice. I gotta admit I was a bit skeptical about them at first, but I highly recommend you catch them live if at all possible.


mm, mm, good

After rocking out to "Somebody Told Me" and "Mr. Brightside," we went to IHOP for late-night pancakes. It was our 18-year-old waitress Rashael's second night on the floor by herself, "So I hope I do okay," she told us as she set down our pitcher of decaf. "You're doing a great job," we assured her. She was so cute about explaining her waitressing thoughts out loud to us. At one point, our conversation lulled to find her leaning against the divider next to our table. "I didn't want to interrupt you guys, so I thought I would just stand here and listen until you noticed me." How can you not just smile about that?


i found this picture in a google image search for an ihop pic-- let me be that happy to have pancakes.

It took a while for our food to come out, and we were excited when we saw Rashael (pronounced Ruh-SHELL) come around the divider with plates of eggs and pancakes lined up her arms. "Short stack?" she asked Matt. "Who did you call me?" he asked. "JESUS CHRIST!" she answered and blushed. Apparently the plates had been hotter than she had anticipated, and our hunger pangs were quelled momentarily for several minutes of laughter.

i get that a lot... i'm not sure if it's the long hair, the flip flops or just my proficiency at parables (aka analogies).

the killers were killer. have to say that the suz can't say that she didn't gain anything by my divorce as she got my spare ticket. now i am going to ihop with ma and pa for lunch. i dont think its really a good idea to go there 2 times in 12 hrs. or not drunk but dad wants breakfast and he is the one paying. suz i dont think you know how much you are going to miss me. bitch please!!

Very funny about the waitress...

And I am so jealous you saw The Killers! That lead guy is so odd... in an attractive sort of way.

too funny - all the best stories happen late at night at ihop, i'm convinced.

not "all this time..."

it's a recent promotion an account of me being repeatedly crucified this week.

sorry for the sacriligeous nature of that last comment.
