Amaztype - Crazy things that are out there

Amaztype
Okay here is one of those really cool things I found with that Stumble Addon I wrote about a few days back. Anyways, what it does is make a collage of whatever you search for based on the images that amazon gives back as a response to the search. Very interesting. In any case my cough is pretty much all the way gone, my neck muscles seem to be about back to normal, and I slept for nearly 24hours yesterday/today. Overall I'm ready to get back to a normal life now. Hope everything is well with all of you out there.

Update....

"BullSheff said...

I need an update, damnit!"

Okay so here is my update. I've been coughing and hacking up nasty, nasty phlegm. No sore throat, no temperature, just annoying coughs and pain in my neck muscles whenever I decide to turn my head. I begin self-medication the other evening with little effect, however I can no say the cough is nearly gone but the muscle pain is even worse. Someone needs to buy me a masseuse to make this pain go away. Anyways, I've done very little recently. I was invited to join a fantasy football league which should be interesting. I've never "REALLY" followed football but I do know that the object of the game is carry that little ball around and avoid other guys. Crazy sports we Americans have.

Anyways, no worries that you are all missing out on some great big stories. I just hurt when I move my head so I haven't read much or done much of anything. Don't worry though I'll be better before John comes in town so we can do something insane to commemorate his last free week before Grad school. Side note, I start school on Aug. 29 and part of me can not wait, the part that lives a very boring life, the other part is smugly sure that 15hours of Lit/Eng classes is too much for any one man to pull off, I tell this part to shut-up and remind it of my clone machine (think Calvin and Hobbes).


"Jackson said
(PS- I hope a beer will be waiting...I've been without since I got here)."

To this I say,

Wouldst thou care for a pale or a dark lager, or any particular brew?
It shall be the one waiting on you.
The other beers will all have been drunk by myself, Matt, or drinking Matt, but we'll save you one.

Hahaha

Reasons to Work in a Restruant (or Hardly Work)



Okay so Saturday night was Jefwas in July, an annual celebration that involves drinking, a theme (this year was the 80's notice the costumes), and of course Sara Michelle Geller. Now, this is one of the bonuses of working in a restruant, crazy parties with alcohol and beautiful young ladies (most of which want absolutely nothing to do with you). Okay so a few more pictures from the party and then on to other things.





Sorry about the blurry qualty of the pictures had I realized how many great photo moments would have been generate by an 80's themed party I would have brought my real camera instead of just my phone cam. Anyways, these are probably some of the best costumes at the party. The sports coats, t-shirts, jeans look was huge in the 80's, especially ripped jeans.




Now for the bad news about working in a restruant. There is always your last day on the job. If you're one of those people that are easily offended don't look; if you enjoy funny junk take a peak. Anyways, this was Evan earlier today after his last shift - for the time being - at Macaroni Grill. Imagine whip cream in his hair and all over the right side of his face, not to mention the flour someone tossed on him. Man are we evil. Side note, yes this is the type of stuff that occurs in the back area of restruants that you can't see. I will say however that I, nor anyone that I know of has ever done anything nasty to food, drink, or such that goes to a table. We do goof off as much as possible though in order to alliviate the strees of dealing with crappy tables who do nothing but bitch over one too many ice cubes in their drink and then leave a measly ten percent or so tip and think they've made your day with it. Twenty percent is what I always expect and nearly demand, I gave change back to a guest once and told them it was change not a tip. They weren't really happy but at least they didn't insult me, they must have forgotten the tip entirely. Ah well, such is life. Sorry for the server rant.


Well it's all been a great bit of fun these last few days. Sorry for not keeping you more up to date, but the bed calls more loudly then the blog does, at least at this point and I hope it stays that way until I'm making money off this somehow.

Parting words, I have floor tickets to Weezer and Foo Fighters Co-Headling tour which appears in Tampa on September 11th at the St. Pete Times Forum. Should be a damn good time.

Mmmm....Chocolate

Okay so I just went and saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. A most peculiar cinema experience. Similar to the original yet O so different. Truer to the book yet with occasional improvisation. I found the combination of Dahl's humor and Burton's antics to make for a rather off-the-wall encounter. Depp did a stupendous job but I feel that had Wilder been in his prime now to work with Burton the movie would have been even better. All together a well spent evening. I would say more concerning the movie but I wish not to ruin anyone's time if they have not yet had the pleasure. So if you were waiting before deciding your wait should now be over. The money and time will be well spent.


Thesauri are rather useful when wishing not to sound redundant.
