Boring Day

I'm currently brewing a pot of coffee. This is probably the most trouble I've ever had making coffee. First off, I spooned the grounds in to the filter holder without a filter in it. So I cleaned that up and then went for another scoop, which I pushed in too hard and the grounds went flying all over the floor. Who am I? Headley? ROFL!!

There's a regional diner here called Norm's. We ate there last night and I had their special which was an 8 oz. steak with fried shrimp, fries, salad, soup, and a dessert. All for $8.99. I haven't had a steak for a while, and instead of getting a patty melt, which I originally wanted, I opted for the special: medium rare.

Worst steak ever. It was like eating salted, shredded beef. Medium rare? More like, medium stupid. It was the worst thing I've ever eaten. It was like eating a black corned beef. The only other worst steak I've eaten was at Earwax in Wicker Park. Though they specialize in vegetarian shit, so that's a valid enough reason and actually, that is in no way their fault. I knew what kind of place it was, and I decided to order it. I should've known that a bunch of fucking hipster hippies wouldn't know what to do with a steak.

I woke up this morning really wishing that I was leaving town. Then I came to work and really wished I was anywhere besides work. I have the choice of not working tomorrow and I don't even know why I contemplated working. Money, yes, but I would like to spend the day with Jeanne. It's also her first day off in like nine days. We get a couple of Netflix movies tonight and tomorrow we get the Henry Rollins one.

Speaking of, I need to deposit money into my account today. Earlier today, I wished that two cars would've spun out and flew off the interchange ramp going south from the west bound 10 interstate to the 405. There was a cement truck and a bigrig right behind each other and the bigrig decided to switch lanes to pass the cement truck. These two other cars, that we driving like 70 mph, also decided to and had to go back to their original lane to avoid hitting the bigrig. I felt that my thoughts were justified because who the fuck drives 70 on and interchange?!!! I'm not saying that traffic validates stupid driving, because it doesn't, but I'm just using it now to illustrate how ridiculous they were. There was no traffic at all. Meaning that they could've settled going 50 mph for the quarter of a mile that the interchange ramp is and then switched lanes safely.

I've recently been thinking about being a traffic vigilante. Like when I see someone driving dumb and see that they're using a cell phone, I'll drive behind them and hit them from behind. Then, while we're exchanging information just say something like, "I don't know what happened. I saw there were no cars ahead and the light was green so I accelerated. Why did you slow down? Oh, you were on your phone trying to switch lanes?!"

Or in situations where I'm going to turn left at an intersection and the cars coming in the opposite direction that is in the go-straight-or-also-turn-left-lane doesn't have their blinkers on, I'm going to assume that means they're going straight. So when the light turns green, I'm going to pull into the intersection enough that if they actually were turning, there would be no room to turn, forcing them to go straight or wait.

I do this fun thing at the moment, when I'm at an intersection turning left but there's too many cars coming and there's no way that I can make the turn until the light turns red. I pull enough into the intersection so the car behind me that's also turning pulls far enough into the intersection that they have no other choice but to go if the light turns red. That way, when we both need to run the red light to make the turn and there's a cop there, they get pulled over. Hehehe.

Have you seen the previews for Narnia? Are we to believe that the lion can actually talk? Someone was smoking something on that day. Talking lion.
