All the other kids with the pumped up kicks, better run, better run faster than my bullet.

I absolutely love when I can come out of work at night and it is still warm out and I can roll the windows own in my car. Sometimes after work you just need something simple tonight to make you feel better after a day of work. I had a really pathetic night. It was a fine start to a double with a large party and a generous tip, but then I got the customer from HELL. He was truly a very rude man. He had no manners and demanded everything and no matter how accommodating we were to him nothing was good enough for him. The after him the kitchen went down and one of my large party's food took almost an hour to get out to them. Part of their bill ended up being comped and so did my tip. I got so frustrated at one of the hostess and started to really miss my mom that I actually started crying while I rang up checks. It wasn't the heaving sobs I get when I'm really upset or tired, but the awkward sniffles and teary eyes that take forever to clear up I had to find behind a post and pretend to clean menus.

I finally got around to setting up the Wii. I know I said I was going to do it but then I got caught up watching old SNL episodes from the 90s and then around 1am the fire alarm went off. I usually just stay in my apartment, but at 1am the alarm sounded extra loud and I couldn't take it. I went and read a book in my car until it got shut down. The lines for the elevator were excruciatingly long when I got back in the building so I decided to hike up the nine flights of steps to my apartment. Walking up the stairs actually wasn't too bad so I may do it more. I also found out where they keep the cable connections in case I feel like being devious and want to commit a misdemeanor. I should have just gone and got blueberry pancakes. I haven't had then in a super long while and I kind of want some now, plus it would have been enough time to let everyone back in the building and free up the elevators. 

I can't marry you. I just got Playstation 2, it's very time consuming.

Muse came on the radio tonight on my drive home from work so I had to do it. I had to turn the volume up and roll my windows down and sing really really loudly and out of tune. It's just one of those things I had to do and then after Muse more awesome songs came on and I had to just keep going. Of course now I'm public enemy number in bother Wynnewood and Bala Cynwyd. Just a small price for the simpler joys in my life.

I actually made money tonight at work. Last night was pretty lame, but tonight was worth going in. I was busy but had a good flow. About half way through my shift I wanted to stick a knife in one of my busser's eyes because he is always stoned and can never complete a task without being told fifty times, but I got over it. I also bussed all of my tables by myself. Tonight was also the first night that I didn't min being stuck there all night. I usually get about three hours in before I'm begging to be cut, but tonight I took my time with resetting an side work and even offered to drive a friend home to Drexel Hill. I've been so used to being out late everyday this past week that the idea of having to go home right away was kind of unappealing. I do need the sleep though, I've been running on air for about half of the time and a good night's sleep is now vital for my continuancy. I woke up at 6:30am with the intention of running to the library to get some last minute studying in and then I remembered that I'm finished with classes. It hasn't really hit me yet that I've finished and I think that it's going to be Monday, when I don't have to get up early, when it happens.

I got the Wii today. I'm going to set it up after I finish this since I'm clearly not very tired. I got a nice pine shelving unit from Ikea today and they were out of one part some I'm going to head to the South Philly store on Monday after work and get the piece and re-organize my kitchen. I think  Monday is also going to be the day I change my bedroom and plan a Wednesday shop. I also got Garden of Eden from Netlifx which is what I'm going to be watching tomorrow after work. Garden of Eden is my all time favorite Hemingway novel and I've been dying to see this movie since I saw the trailer last summer. It's also how I found out Yonni was also really into Hemingway too. Love Hemingway.
