Random Observations II

·        I have a “wedding reception” to go to this weekend.  The reason I put that in quotation marks is because the actual wedding took place in October in Jamaica.  Now, I’m not the etiquette police or anything (okay, I kind of am) but I’m finding this just a tad inappropriate.  Sure…if you had a destination wedding in October and a reception within about a month of your return, that’s acceptable.  Four and a half months after the fact…not so much. 

·        Brittany Spears = debacle of epic proportions.  However, this is making me feel MUCH better about my own mini-breakdown and the subsequent medical intervention that followed, a la “The Crazy Pills”.  Fuck it…at least I still have all my hair and I’m not anyone’s mother, so I can officially say “At least I’m not Brittany Crazy”. 

·        Nick had to work a concert last Sunday for a Japanese Death Metal Band.  Yes…you heard me correctly.   Japanese.  Death.  Metal.  I find this hilarious beyond belief, especially once he told me about the little girls who were screaming and passing out like those chicks who went all wonky when The Beatles came to America.  Getting slightly hysterical over John Lennon…understandable.  Getting completely hysterical over members of a Japanese Death Metal Band…um…no.  Just No. 

·        When your boss calls you into her office to tell you what a great job you’ve been doing what you really want to hear is “We’re going to give you more money”.  What you don’t want to hear?  “We’re going to give you more responsibility, and an increased work load and no more money”.  Fuck. 

·        While getting dressed this morning, I grabbed a pair of black pants from my closet.  Once I put them on, I realized that they were not the black pants I usually wear.  It took me a good five minutes of wondering whose pants I put on before I realized that they were my pants.  From FIVE YEARS AGO.  Pants that I haven’t been able to fit in since the day I bought them…and they fit perfectly.  All Hail Fucking Marlon! 

·        Speaking of the Japanese Death Metal Band…Nick had to make a sign to hang in the backstage area that said “Absolutely No Hugging the Band”.  Apparently Japanese Death Metal bands fear thirteen year olds who may possibly attempt to hug them.  Some of these thirteen year olds actually flew over from JAPAN to see these guys in HOUSTON.  Insanity I tell you. 

·        It’s odd to see someone whose band you used to go see on American Idol.  One of the contestants this year (Sundance) was in a band called Temper Scarlett here in the Houston area and they used to perform in Nick’s store (back when he was at the Deerbrook Mall Sam Goody) all the time.  They really were a great band, so I hope he does well on the show. 

·        Okay… enough w/ the random observations….I have to get to work and prove that I am worthy of the whole “more responsibility, increased workload, no more money” thing.
