NEW MUSIC: "I Just Can't Wait to be King" (Lion King Soundtrack) I used to have the soundtrack, but I traded it for the soundtrack to The Mask (big mistake)...I miss it. I was listening to the local college station, and they have a show called rated G...it was on...so I downloaded it. I'm such a thief...

The night before last night I went out to eat. I made Rachel take me. How sweet of me, huh? Here's the dinner run down. Started off with root beer and a glass of red wine. Nice combo, huh? I think that's what made the server think we were together our something, since she kept suggesting we share the dessert (two spoons...no thanks, but oh well.) I didn't like the wine...I told her I'm not an expert, but I wanted something very light and very sweet...but she didn't do so well in picking what she did. In my opinion, atleast. I had the potato soup and the house salad with bacon honey mustard dressing. The house salad comes with some sweet danish roll thing...it's good. Not too sweet..just right. I had the filet mignon, medium (red warm center, she said...are you sure? Of course I'm sure. With the quality of Rafferty's beef not what it used to be, it's a bad idea to get it anything less than medium, because it's too tough) and the garlic mashed potatoes, which I've never had, but I must say, are so much better than the usual loaded baked potato. Anyhow...I think that's about it, except for dessert, which I did get...the brookie, which, as you can probably tell is a combination of brownie and cookie with ice cream. Great meal. Now all they need is movies on the tv instead of sports. And sound would be nice too...

Okay, I just went to McDonalds after writing that last part...and they gave me a whole bag of free food. The girl handed me a bag, then some other lady walked up and started to hand me another bag, while saying 'here's your Dr. Pepper.' Only, I didn't order Dr. Pepper, so I told her...she asked me what I had...she said, can you pull up to the front door and someone will bring your food out. I did, and a third girl came out with my food...she already had handed me the first bag, and never asked for it back. Nice. I worked fast food for 4 years...it's easy. It's hard in that it's really fast and hot...and oily, and you get burned all the time (as a cook at Long Jonh Silvers atleast), but it's impossible to screw up as badly as these people do all the time. How sad...anyhow. Free food. I won't complain. I'm off to watch As Told By Ginger while eating the free food and drinking my large orange juice. I'm such a pig people...

Michael Jackson thought he won an award! LOL!! I can't get over that...I bet he feels like a big ass...
