Rendezvous and Clarified Butter

It's Tuesday night and it's almost 9 PM. Clearly, I should be finishing homework, watching videos on microorganisms, and working on my excellence project. Even more clearly, I should be writing a blog so I can put off doing things I really need to be doing. I wanted to clarify a pound of butter tonight since I know we are doing that in class tomorrow, but I didn't want to spend 3 dollars on a pound of butter.

I scheduled my ASAP finally today (finished the first 16 week class, must now attend the 10 week class) and it's not until November 8th!! I haven't smoked pot in a while, but I am SOOO going to now, since it's like 2 months away.... that gives me a month to toke here and there and still a month to get it out of my system. Not only that but by January 10th I CAN GET MY LICENSE BACK! :D That makes me most excited of all. Oh, and then I could smoke bud whenever I want to.

There is a surplus of flies in my house and I would totally like to know where they are coming from. I mean, when I say surplus, sometimes... when I go in the bathroom, there are anywhere between 5-9 flies around. GROSS. I hate flies more than any living insect. They are so creepy and gross. They are always flying right past my laptop screen at night and buzzing around my head. I hate buzzing.

Oh, in bigger news. I got a job. First of all, I've worked for pretty much only corporate restaurants. You know Olive Garden, Friday's, Applebee's... that kind of thing. I interview with this guy and he just LOVES me. First, though I had to submit a head shot and a profile shot... I was kind of worried that I wasn't going to be skinny enough to get hired.... I think my head shot photo made up for it (it's the same one I am using as a default photo here). Anyway. I go in, and when he asks about my availability, I mention that I am in the culinary program at J. Sarge so Wednesdays are out. He graduated from that program. Bonus for me. Then, he asks me about serving, and I was like "No, I'm a bartender".... He says: "Can you bartend?". I look at him and kind of laugh and say "Of course". He asks me what's in a particular drink, I name the first liquor and he says "Oh, that's good, you know it's a rum drink!". Then, I explained that when I was in on Friday I noticed most people just drinking wine, basic cocktails and a few martinis. He asks if I can make martinis, I shoot off a few I could do pretty well (based on the liquors I see behind his bar): Mudslide martini, espresso martini, blueberry martini, cherry limeade martini..... He brings me a notebook with like 7 martini recipes in it and I look at them while he goes to tend to something else. He comes back and I tell him that I love the sound of the cinnamon red heart martini.... and then I point to the red apple martini (with crown royal) and say "I like this one.... but it's just a Washington Apple in a martini glass..." His mouth drops to the floor. "Just the fact that you know that is the best thing ever". Their bartenders suck. I am going to make them all look stupid. My first night is Thursday night. I rule.

I haven't worked in a year... I will certainly let you all know how it goes!

I really need to get back to doing school work so I can get to bed at a decent hour... I am still not adjusting to 12 hours straight of class, lecture, work, class, lecture.
