Rabble rabble rabble
Not much going on here, just waiting for Thanksgiving. Once my wireless card arrives I will actually update the layout of the site.
Alicia’s family is coming down for Thanksgiving and we are cooking the dinner. This will be my first time cooking Thanksgiving dinner and, while I am confidant in my ability to do it, I am going to have to modify certain dishes because of the multiple allergies in her family. No nuts, garlic, onions, eggs, and very little wheat… I may just make little side pans for the ones that can’t eat certain things. Not using garlic is going to be tough for me because I love garlic and I put it in most of the stuff I cook.
Anyway…
Right now Alicia is laying in bed, having called in sick from work. I swear, it seems like for the past three weeks one of us has been sick. I suppose I am going to have to strengthen my immune system, because this is probably just one of the things I’m going to be dealing with while living on a college campus. She did her best to take care of me while I was sick, so I am going to make her some homemade chicken noodle soup to return the favor.
The other day she and I bought a Wii and Mario Kart Wii with some of the leftover wedding gift money, which has made Alicia very happy. She’s already cleared the 50cc and is already working on the 100cc. I just got that far, mostly because I am not as big of a fan of Mario Kart as she. We haven’t raced each other yet but she’s already proven to be better than me at bowling in Wii Sports (I hate bowling in general, though). I’m hoping to pick up The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Super Smash Bros.: Brawl, Super Mario Galaxy, and New Super Mario Bros. Wii, just to name a few. I’m not sure what else she wants other than Wii Fit and Wii Sports Resort, but I’m sure there are others she’ll want.
The job hunt is not going as well as I initially hoped it would… It’s not going badly, but the current consensus from every restaurant (the good ones, anyway) I’ve interviewed or applied at is that they won’t be hiring until the end of the month at the soonest. I’ve had a few good interviews and one really great interview where essentially the executive chef told me that he wants to hire me, but he needs to get approval from the owner first. I’m really hoping it comes to fruition… It’s a nice French restaurant which does affordable breakfast and lunch items, and then kicks it up to fine French cuisine for dinner, complete with white table clothes. I may take a temporary job doing retail (*shudder*) until one of these places calls. Keep your fingers crossed for me, because a few of these places could really help make my career.
…
I just realized the randomness in the way I compose my posts. I just kind of flow from one thought to the next, writing about that subject as it comes to me…
*shrug*
I digress…
If you haven’t been watching The Venture Bros.: Season 4, Sundays at midnight on Adult Swim, then you have been missing out. No spoilers here, but so far I have been impressed with the level of intelligence in the writing and the artwork, in my opinion, is spot-on. The show has evolved from a spoof of the old mystery/adventure cartoons of the 70′s into it’s own wonderfully messed up show where you come to love all the characters… Not because those characters are cool or bad-ass, but because those characters are all as messed up as the rest of us. Even certain figures in the series that were at first depicted as great, untouchable legends have been revealed to be just as flawed as the rest of the characters, perhaps even more so.
I think that is enough rambling from me for one day. I’m off to try to catch up to Alicia on Mario Kart and then to visit some more restaurants.
Outie.
