Don't Fake The Funk

Stuff That Happened Today

Actually this happened Monday, not today, which is Tuesday.

I drove my boss home to Fort Lee, NJ. It's not all that far from Woodside, but I had to sit there, in an enclosed space, for twenty minutes, with my boss. I always feel uncomfortable around authority figures. I guess it's because I play pacman all day at the office so I was feeling guilty. It turned out well, however. My original misgivings about working where I work now have been slightly assuaged. My boss is an honest guy and pretty straight-up for a rich dude. I don't mind working for people like that. Now if only I was actually making money.

Teena and I got kicked out of the VIP section at McDonald's on 73d & Parsons blvd. It was crazy. I just took a bite outta my fish filet and I had my fries all laid out on my tray (hey, that rhymes) and this lady goes, "Sorry but this section is closed." I'm like... what the heck? I ain't gonna be but 10 minutes and she's kicking me out? I didn't even know McDonald's had a VIP section. I was so upset I got up but left my french fry container on the table. Teena, of course, tried to pick it up because she likes to clean (a Chinese person that likes to clean... go figure) but I grabbed it outta her hands and put it back on the table. I should have just gone to Krystals. Fish filets ain't got nothin' on lumpiang shanghai and a plate of longsilog. Mmm mmm mmm.

West Nile virus has met its match. I murdered three slow-moving mosquitos (mosquitoes?) today.

Speaking of bugs, I saw one of those small many-legged bugs that look like armadillos (armadilloes?) that roll up into a ball if they feel threatened. As kids we called 'em rollie-pollies. I haven't seen one since I was a kid. The rollie-pollie was crawling next to one of those seeds with one wing that fall from trees like a spinning top. I hadn't seen one of those in years, too.

Last Friday, I gave a hamburger to a homeless man that was sleeping outside of St. John's church in Manhattan. I think I saw him today at Dunkin' Donuts. He was driving a Mercedes. Just kidding. He was in the bathroom doing #2 and he didn't lock the door (it was a one-person public bathroom). So I saw much more of him than I really wanted to. And apparently, the hamburger I gave him last Friday didn't agree with him. Ugh, never mind. I don't want to talk about this anymore.

NBA season starts soon. I set up a fantasy league on Yahoo! but I haven't invited anyone yet. Who wants in?
