well here it is, the New Year's Eve post. i know you're all excited. yea, i sure am, i'm off to work in 20 minutes. but you know, those 12-3 shifts just fly on by. then i go off to pepperoni's, and i have no clue what to expect there. hopefully, since marie is delivering too, i get off first. yea! then off to Normal. like how i link it? well, it has a site, and i do believe some people should know more about the city i venture off to. stacy called last night, turns out just she, shane and tammy will be at her place doing century club and come on over! sorry dude, i have a previous engagement. to which she inquired where, and then she seemed miffed when she found tamara was in town. "she didn't call me, or even to say bye before she left!" uh...dude, me either...but don't worry i gave her the "all you need is love-call her" talk. whew, let's hope that works out. i love those two way too much for there to be a riff. anyhow, since it's new years eve, i traditionally took an online test!! ha, did you think i was gonna say "made some resolutions" ?!?

ok, so Vanilla Sky didn't happen tonight...nor did the town of Normal. wow, Normal sure ain't gettin much from me lately at all...ah well, good news is, i talked to zac on AIM and there's at least some sort of gathering there tomorrow, whether it be his place or tamara's. so hurray! i have a place to chill. ah...good. so anyhow, i ended up renting a few movies from hollywood video, Cast Away for mom and dad (thank God, they need to to see more movies..), hell i like that flick, i may even watch it with them. what did i get? oh funny you asked, it's a movie called Chillicothe, but no, it's not based on the town here in Illinois not 15 minutes away...it's based on one in Ohio...hmmm..same with Normal....there's a damn one in Ohio, and guess which one gets it's own tv show? (ha ha...and FLOPS) i really didn't fathom there'd be another town named that anyhow...but anyways, looks interesting...we'll see..gotta go for now, i almost have all of Tenacious D's songs downloaded.

oh...and IT'S SNOWING HERE IN CENTRAL ILLINOIS!!

Take the Which Beatle Are You? Quiz.

hi. i'm back...and completely sober. did everyone miss me? ha, that's what i thought, bite me. ok, so let's see, friday i (duh) worked....but not til noon, and that rocks i tell you. i tried to reorganize the computer book section, but Waldenbooks has become fascist and made an agreement with the "...For Dummies" books to where the Dummies books have to be all together. argh, that's completely stupid...but whatever. we weren't too busy at pepperoni's...at all. i had like 7 deliveries. but i still made ok cash. i went up to Rizzi's on State to celebrate with some of the family for pete's b-day. well, i got off at 9, so why not? too bad it was COLDER THAN SHIT. oh well, i had plenty to drink to warm me up. and NO i didn't drive...after #5, holly told me that i was going home with them. oh, ok. hey, i didn't buy one drink either. so that brings us to saturday am...i wake up at holly's realizing (besides "ughhh...i have half a hangover going on...") i haven't eaten in nearly two days. ok so major alert...not really, i was barely hungry. so i got some coffee (as well as expresso...yea!) in me and went off home. and then off to work. i did finish Notting Hill and take it back. i also finished up America's Sweethearts the other night. my verdict on the both? "charming but by any means too predictable and conventional...ugh" i need to see Oceans 11 or Vanilla Sky...BAD. speaking of which, i got marie to work for me today...that's right, britt has the whole day off...damn, i need to get my hair cut first. i may go to Normal...i may not. i can't decide. i hope that stacy has time for me...cause if she'd rather hang with shane, no prob, i can remain here...i'm not feeling too motivated anyhow.

update time!!! arrggggh...i am soo tired, and half drunk...i cannot...maybe tomorrow.

another day, another double, until saturday and sunday that is....uh oh...they could still call me in...ahhh...dammit, i just typed out a big ol post and lost it, then i find what i thought was "Friends" that i taped was really "Will and Grace" argh...no offense to "W and G", i just think "Friends" is hilarious and "W and G" is well..not. anyhow, i was gonna post what i got for xmas, but naaaahh. i do enjoy my little PDA (it's addicting) and my Radiohead CD (i got the I Might Be Wrong one). of course, i'm not a lucky bastard like nic with TiVo...but who is? (dammit nic...ha...i do say that a lot) hmmmm...so today went well, i guess, pepperoni's was dead beyond belief, 3 deliveries, but made $22. woo hoo. so i rented 2 videos cause it's about time i watch movies again. oh, and it's snowing too...got inside outta that before it hit too hard.

yay! blogger is back! thank God...i had something to post earlier. anyhow, i worked another double today, blah blah...i really didn't want to bartend tonight (funny huh? i pride myslef as a bartender), i wanted to slacker deliver...ah well, i still made $10. i ventured over to Kouri's to have a few with sarah and aaron. aaron was cool, excpet for the "we need to get you a real job britt" talk. but it was all in good fun. too bad she had to turn in 20 min after i got out there. the good news is, i won't have to bartend new years eve, i get to deliver! hurray!! out by 10!!! bad news? (well, i guess...) i dunno where the hell i'm partying yet. hmmm...oh, and there's this test and can i just say about damn time!

hell yea, i got this pic on my yahoo profile...isn't that the greatest combination of things? squirrels and beer...

MerryChristmas!

ok, so shall i post what i got or what i've drank so far? ohhh...ok, that sounded bad, it is what? almost 2 pm. hmmm..doesn't feel like it. anyhow, merry Christmas to all my loved ones, family friends, those online i talk to...yay!!! i got a long day ahead..but i got my PDA!!! hurray!!! i can plan and organize...heh heh. i'm so happy! this is my new digital baby:

ok, sorry bout that post, that wasn't very festive was it? ok, so Merry Christmas Eve! yay!!! the day has been great thus far, holly and pete just showed up with some pre-Christmas presents. mom got a tree and i got Sam Adams variety pack! yea! oh, yea, i gotta bartend at 5, but it's all good...i mean if i have to bartend Christmas eve, i get to have a few festive drinks, like this one i'm drinking now, Old Fezziwig Ale...i'd let you try it, but i'm on the computer, and it's damn well impossible. anyways, it's a once-a-year-festive thing. anyhow, i have just one gift to get, no, for REAL...i just thought of it today. so, ok, after work, i have the festivities of family, which unlike stacy, i am so looking forward to, cause my fam drinks...in fact, i just hope i can catch up, dear Lord. oh yea, and speaking of him, we all go to Mass at 10 pm. damn, stace, i wish you could do Christmas with us one year. and tamara too, since we did Easter at buck's, and tamara...uuuhh..doesn't exactly celebrate Christmas anyhow, might as well do it with the Duleys.

owwww...my head hurts...i shouldn't went to Generations last night. oh well...i did. i don't remember how many i had either. funny how this keeps happening. anyhow, i've decided the kevin smith test is WRONG! i've found i'm a peacemaker. there were two girls at generation slast night...you know the type, bitchy, i like-to-start-fights-like-i'm-in-junior-high, types. in fact, they pry were in high school...ugh, might as well have been. anyhow, one of them had coughed on diana or something, and diana, drunk as she was (and i swear she needs me around more so i can stop these nascent fights), started talking some stuff to her...anyhow, they didn't say much back (cause they were bitch-prototypes and cannot form a sentence that quickly), but the guy with them started saying not to go too far cause he "owns half the fucking place" oh, ok buddy, sure i believe you, especially since you represented yourself so professionally. i just laughed and told them all to cool it now...it's the holidays for crying out loud. later the girls were sneering over in our direction and i heard "bitch" (me or diana, i don't care), so i said "oh, we aren't talking about you, go back to Creve Coeur!" ooops...ok, go britt. they heard that. but still, i'm a peacemaker!!!!! yea! i want no fights. i can be "i don't take crap from no one" but still overall, i want no fighting. but when i've been drinking, i get a little more vehement. see the "yea, i'm a liberal, what of it you conservative piece of shit?" argument...oh wait, you can't...i don't think i posted that. ah well.

no way dude, am i that self-loathing? nah...just a bit low on the self-esteem...but i do really like Dogma

You must really hate yourself. You're cynical and self-loathing, the epitome of the Prozac poster child. No guy in his right mind would touch you with a ten foot pole. You've had some odd adventures in your day and hopefully, in the future one of your strange journeys will lead you to a tiny shred of happiness...or atleast a good shrink. Poopy train.

well well lookit this, it's dec 22, one day closer to christmas. thank God...i only have one more gift to get. anyhow, something nice happened to me at work last night. sure, larry calls and got thrown in the slammer, and is no longer el dishwasher...and i was (for last night anyhow). but as i was coming out of a rush in dishes piling up/deliveries getting taken, i went over to lauren (dave's wife, who's doing the books for us this week) to give her the 10 of the $20 i owed (my bank was off monday)...and lauren called me back over and said "brittany, let's just forget about the other 10, you've been so good, working so hard, coming in a doing dishes, and delivering..don't worry about it...i appreciate it" wow, was that nice. i realize that everyone really isn't appreciated enough...ever...but i guess i never thought twice about it. anyhow, got out of there around 10:30, bill was there, ready for beer-thirty. then chalise stopped in, and we went off to kouris'. and BOY was it class of 05 night!!! geeez!

ok, here's the long -awaited update...ha, you humor me..
wed= went out w/ khalilah and stacy, fun fun, but they tend to be "britt why the hell did you just say that? that was stupid, that made no sense" when really they should just shut their damn mouth and spare me the embarrassment that is "britt sayin irrelevant and dumb things". but it was fun hangin at kouri's with them, don't get me wrong. maybe i'm too sensitive, maybe not, who cares....i shouldn't be...out of every person i have met or come in contact with, i can safely say that 2% did not like me. but it's that 2% i dwell on...ha ha. anyhow, wish i could hung longer. stacy = tired, me and k = not even buzzed yet...ahhh...pity. ooo, jenny had her baby at 5:00, i delivered tio her room around 7. jenny looked beat and exhausted, the baby was adorable! she had a boy, named it riley, and the first smell (almost) he experienced was pepperoni's..ha. thurs= worked 10-2, 4-close...or 9 'oclock whatever, got xmas card from marieke too, bill calls me "miss-getting-cards-from-all-over-the-world". that's right, i rule!

anyhow, i think i found my calling at walden's. i like to help out others in finding their book most...i'm not so much a Preferred Reader promoter...not so much small talker...if you're looking for a book or a book on a certain subject...especially computer, i rule in that area of suggestion...the britt WILL find it for ya...even if i have no clue where to look. geez, i have gotten SO many people saying to me in the last few days, "thank you SO SO much for all your help." even if i didn't find it. and damn am i the good one at recommending lately...ahhh...think i'll end this at that. till tonight's entry...maybe...

britt no workie in the mornin'!!!!!!!!! yay!!! i'll do an update of last night and today tomorrow (afternoon, mind you, i be sleepin' in)....man, did i not anticipate drinking three beers at pepperoni's tonight...i meant to have one...whoops..

dammit nic, did i mention The Royal Tennenbaums? no? oh, i want to see that movie ohhh sooooooo bad...

aw man, there just is not enough time to do anything. don't get me wrong, i absolutely love being psycho busy, but damn...i'm starting to get a whole lot of tired. i'm actually gonna go out and live the nightlife tonight, which is why i'm writing in this now. well, not particularly...just havin a few drinks with stacy and khalilah at Kouri's (hopefully). anyhow, wooo hooo!!! got presents wrapped. almost (2 more) then i gotta get a few more then woo hoo (final woo hoo) i'm DONE. i did have a good day at work. helped out a lot of people with books...especially with the computer ones. hell, i reorganized that section, it was all messed up. now it flows nicely: A++, C+, windows 95, 98, ME, XP, photoshop, etc...you get the idea, they're all put together. ok, so i'm in charge of TOTW now, so i guess i better post a new one since no one else did. and boy do i got one...

another day, another 10-3/4-close shift at waldenbooks and pepperoni's, respectively. am i tired? nah, though i did have trouble opening those damn eyes today. i wasn't so much tired, but my eyes were. they kept wanting to shut. and that energy drink i got (a new one...KMX) tasted like ass. no, seriously, try and conjure up the last worst piece of ass you tasted....it's worse than that. anyhow, i really do like those i work with at waldens as well. janet can be a little spacy, but she's good people. nikki and kim (other one) are cool as all hell to work with too. of course, i always have a blast working with those in my age bracket. anyhow, then i buzzed off to pepperoni's, first calling back stace (she and khalilah are coming tomorrow). dishes sucked ass tonight (yes, the very same ass that that energy drink tastes like), likely due to the fact i was busy. but i made $20, and paid off two bills. diana and sharlean saw how bad i was busting my butt and pretty much forced me to take a shot of gin diana didn't want. yes, gin. but you know...it wasn't bad...i needed that. now i'm at home bout to watch some good ole tv, eat, and maybe wrap some presents. or maybe read some stuff i got about George Harrison.

since nic put his good ol top whatever movie list, i had to follow suit. cause he's so damn cool and everyone should try to be like him...ha ha...but i've heard he's a buttmongrel too... but i haven't seen hardly ANY, so here's mine:

movies britt would like to see before the year is frickin' over
(or hopefully...)

* Ocean's 11
* Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
* Behind Enemy Lines
* Monsters, Inc.
* Spy Game
* Shallow Hal
* Domestic Disturbance
* Life as a House
* Heist
* 13 Ghosts

* From Hell
* Riding in Cars With Boys (yes, mom, i too want to go see this)

* Mulholland Drive (hey, funnily enough, i've driven on this road..)

now you know what to get me for xmas...take me to all these movies!! (hey..good idea) anyhow, life today went great! no, really, i never fully woke up at waldens, but i was working with kim all day, so that was cool, then another kim came in, she was cool, she's some girl back from college or something, anyhow, cool girl. then i had 10 whole minutes to eat BK (yeeee-ea!!!) then rush off to deliver to the pekin metropolitan area...ohhh! i saw Frau Hickersberger at waldens! and she knew me first!! weird man weird. anyhow, we were moderately busy at pepperoni's, i made $40, so that's always good. at last night's xmas party at rizzi's, i guess marie drank waaaay too much and threw up all over. no, not in the bathroom, there at the table on the floor. whoa...i feel pretty bad for ranting on her. oh well, who knows, maybe she'll get lucky and i'll give her my thursday. and damn, i really don't like working with jen much anymore. but that's ok, she and marie are buddies, hence i don't like working with either, don't worry, there's plenty of cool people at pepperoni's that the britt likes to work with. oh, and joe says since a lot of pepperoni's gang weren't at the party last night, he may have another this sunday at generations, he buys the drinks. oh no, not another night like last sunday...uhhhgh...

damn it, i just typed a big ol post out and lost it....
anyhow...nutshell time:
for my readers who think my post to stacy was venomous...do not get me wrong...i love stacy, she's been with me through thick and thin for 4 some odd years, i was just upset, angry and not fully cooled off before posting. it happens. so marie broke her car in addition to her arm at pepperoni's so i'm prime delivery driver. ah good, i should be. plus i'm sick of her smart-assy, high school, "i'm-gonna-kick-your-ass-if-cause-you-took-my-delivery-hours" tone of voice. (sigh) high school brats. yea, you know who you are, so if you're in h.s. and not a brat, don't be offended then, you know who you are. i certainly wasn't like that in high school...i hated h.s. anyhow. marie is the epitome of high school brat. my life is to short to argue with those types. anyhoo, my schedule as follows for this week...oh, ok i memorized it: monday-sunday --> 4-close. woo hoo i say, and i haven't even seen Walden's yet. speaking of which, i had a hellish split yesterday. 10- 3:30? (whoops) at Walden's, 4-11 at pepperoni's. delivery wasn't too viciously busy last night though, made out ok. since it was employee 40 % day only yesterday at walden's, i had rush back out to get some xmas presents on a delivery. damn, still need to wrap them..oh, and pay some bills...crap! i gotta party hardy (sounds like bill...) at kathi's in a few for our post-Elks skit (which went pretty good by the way) jamboree (even more like bill). anyhow, quick plug: go see nic's site, he's changed layouts
A-GAIN....

mom is back...Florida was fun. i still think Central Illinois Regional Airport is on crack...the parking lot at least. anyhow, the rehearsal for our skit at the Elk's Lodge went well, still not too thrilled about singing songs to kids, but ah well...then i actually went to Appleby's and scarfed down a beer before venturing off to the airport.
i just finally read the transcript to the Bin Laden video...and all i can say is i'm angry as hell and i think i'm going to be sick. read it here.

wanna see some funny shit? go here....a definite day-brightener.

hmmm...i was supposed to have a super fun night last night, and if i can't rant in my blog, i can't rant anywhere....so here goes..
so the plan was stacy and tamara were to come visit and stay over. and it was wednesday because i talked to tamara first and she said wednesday was a good night for her...then i talked to stacy, she said ok. and i also discussed the pekin trip with others, including kelly, kuntz, liz and shannon. none of them seemed interested or available. ok, cool. two people sounds fun. well, see, i'd hoped stacy would tell T before wednesday morning...uh, of course she's not available you putz. but kelly, kuntz, and shane are coming too. huh?! ok with kelly and kuntz, but who the hell is shane? and no, he can't stay over. as happy as i am you have a boyfriend stacy...i really don't want to meet him this particular wednesday night. it's not about me minding (but i do), but how would that look to my dad when he arrives home in the morning? hell no, poor guy has enough crap to worry about before mom gets home. anyway, i was unsure of the situation as i went into work, but i was pissed...and i thank God the people i work with made it a bit better. after work (which i busted my ass to be off at 8), stacy calls...blah blah..can't get a hold of tamara...she went somewhere with zac...i have to sub...wait! zac? dude, what happened to...ah nevermind...i went from pissed to hurt now. i was really really bummed my friends weren't coming here but instead having fun there. ahhh...well...i got over it of course, but i won't kid you, and as dumb and silly as this may sound, and i know you read this stacy...i was very upset for a while. this always happens to me, i plan and look forward to something, then it falls apart. oh well, i went to bed happy if it's any consolation...i healed a bit. but i still want to get a hold of tamara before she leaves for 2 weeks to go to england, but it doesn't look as if i will..

i just got done watching (taped cause i was at rehearsal) "That 70s Show" and "Undeclared" now i can say nice things about "That 70s Show," although i do think that i enjoyed it more in it's first couple seasons, but "Undeclared" was really a piece of crap. it's emits college stereotype after college stereotype....and i was at college for 5 years...dude, it sure as hell ain't like that...at least not at ISU. oh well, other than that today, i worked til 2 and accomplished cleaning out my closet. wow, what a freaking difference that makes. i also decided to give back to Goodwill, and bagged up some stuff i don't need anymore. i had a rehearsal tonight for two hours!! whoa, didn't really think it would be that long. oh well, as a result, too beat to go up to my sisters. i mean, it was 10, i woulda wen tup there and went to bed. how much of a visit is that? anyhow, if stace and tamara don't come tomorrow i'll stay then. i think i may pick up the new Alien Ant Farm cd...they rule...oh wait! damn! Christmas! right.

i was listening to The White Album by the Beatles on the way home from from Normal yesterday afternoon, and my God, is it a damn good album....it's the best thing to listen to for a 45 minute ride home. boy, do i miss George...

anyways, on to the real deal last night. the meeting sucked, it was long and i was hungry. so a bunch of us went out to Generations (a bar i've actually never been to) to drink. joe bought like, all the rounds (it was $1.50 everything night). and i cannot tell you how many Guinnesses i had, but let's just say i was feeling it when i crashed home. whew...i musta been celebrating Hanukkah or something...yea, that's it....anyways, i bonded and had tons of fun with kurt, erin, diana, jon, and joe. so it doesn't matter i'm feelin shitty today, i'll survive. i shoulda posted last night, but then i'd just be doin' a nic...ha ha...kidding nic! kidding!

ok, so i'm back again and prepared to update on The Normal Chronicles, Volume..something. wait, no i'm not, i haven't had any coffee today, and it's nearly 5 pm...one sec...
so anyhow, i whisked off to Normal last night...quite early really. when i got to shannon and kuntz's , it was just those two and liz. so we hung out and drank some wine. then off to jinny's, hung out there, drank some cocktails. then i went downstairs to give tamara her hanukkah presents (here it comes bill!!!!! your big play-by-play!!!). anyhow, hell yea she LOVED THEM. especially the Backstreet Boys Howie mini book ( i knew that was her favorite...) anyhow, it felt good to see all the thought behind them was worth it. i love that about Christmas too, i actually hold off my gift-opening so that i can see everyone's expression when they open my gift. hey...it's even better with Hanukkah!! try it. that's right, get a Jewish friend first, and spoil them. (no gentiles need apply..you don't count) so after that wonderful loving fun-filled hanukkah experience...ha..we went off to do some REAL drinkin' at Illinois Brewing Company. and all i had was shots and a long island iced tea (no, not a kickass one this time bill...). the we went to Nikki's apt, who incidentally i know. turns out tamara and i partied in her room my second year at ISU...when i first hung out with liz. huh. she didn't remember me though. i did see abbey from Monicals at IBC though...that was cool as hell. anyhow, i dropped liz off this afternoon and ran into stacy and we ate at Bennigan's, and this why is why i didn't have my obligatory coffee...cause i had my obligatory beer. hmmm...OH, stacy and tamara are coming to visit wednesday night...let's see how early i can get out of work...speaking of which, i have a meeting at 8:30 and i think i blogged enough for all youse..plus, i rule, i washed my car today...yea britt! oh, and remind me to tell you about the psycho-bitch-piece-of-shit that was driving her car around my street like a psycho and screaming...more on that later...

i'm bad. i'm bad. i Christmas shopped for my self today and got this:


but it's ok, cause it was only $15 and i really really wanted it. so now i have a CD player in my car...without paying the $200-300 some for it...yay! but i only delivered for 4 hours tonight. in the words of cyn bah. oh well, now i can get to Normal at a decent time...liz is game..tamara has three finals to study for. ugh. at least i can give her her Hanukkah presents...and she better get as big of a kick out of them as i did.

i can't belive no one is online. impossible. what else do people have to do on a saturday afternoon? mike's on. the originator of improv mafia mike. let's see if he has anything good to say...

kickitsquirrel: yo mike
GdftBrak: hey, britt
kickitsquirrel: what's up?
GdftBrak: not much. Saw Ocean's 11...which rocked. Seeing The Man WHo Wasn't There today
kickitsquirrel: thats cool
kickitsquirrel: i need to see a movie
kickitsquirrel: but working every evening limits that
kickitsquirrel: lol
GdftBrak: well, head on down and you can see it with us :-)
kickitsquirrel: ok
kickitsquirrel: ha
kickitsquirrel: dude, i work at 4
GdftBrak: pansy
kickitsquirrel: slave to the capitalist system
GdftBrak: the show is at 4:15...you'd be fine :-)
kickitsquirrel: oh ok
kickitsquirrel: strapping on my jetpack now...

so i went thrift store shopping yesterday, and damn, do i miss that. problem is, in this area, you gotta go on good days. sometimes the Peoria Goodwills (all 4 of them) absolutely suck...even though they're pretty damn big...and your best bet is the EP one...or even Pekin...ooo..anyways, that was fun, and all under $5. dude, i don't get why everyone doesn't so their shopping at thrift stores...oh well, good they don't. anyhow, i'm debating going to Normal tonight. it's not that i don't want to. of course, calling people NOW may be short notice...but who knows...but i need to get these Hanukkah presents unloaded.

oh, and by the way Happy Immaculate Conception Day...

what the hell?! i found this search query in my referrer logs today:

please+dear+google+tell+me+about+the+geek+who+killed+his+coworker

hmmm...and it gets weirder...it's the French Google. ok. and it turns out my site was a #6 hit for that sick, sick, though tempting at times, query. woo hoo (i guess)

If I were a work of art, I would be Edvard Münch's The Scream. I express the subconscious troubles and anxieties of the world. I hold my head and let loose the primal terror of my innermost fears, surrounded by a lurid landscape which reflects my feeble grasp on reality. Which work of art would you be? The Art Test

i just gotta say that Morpheus rules! $%#%&*#$ audiogalaxy, buh bye...go here now and dowload it if you don't have it. it's quick, easy, and free...did i mention quick?

i know you all have missed me....so don't cry. i have a fantastic day to look forward to today. why? well, i'm the closing dishwasher at pepperoni's tonight. YAY. uhhh...no. actually, it's not too bad, i get to dress down (and i mean down) and not concentrate on anything. i wish i could deliver. why? #1- i don't want to listen to marie's cocky "ha you're doing dishes" #2- i don't want to see marie get many deliveries and/or sit on her butt not having any deliveries and #3- i really would like to be that busy. dammit, i can do both...oh, and i need the $$$. oh yea, my review is up...go check it out.

ahhhh...the Weezer concert. wanna know how it went.? read my review. not up yet though! gotta wait, then i'll link ya. anyhow, had a major major flu-like morning yesterday. i was attacked my upset stomach and aches and pains and managed to get pretty sick. it's all that coughy-coughy stuff i've been doing; it's finally come up. anyhow, this was at 9:50 AM, so i had to call Walden's pronto. hmmm...sorry guys. i feel bad when i have to call in, cause that puts them out. but in the scenario i was facing, i don't think they would have wanted me there. ah well, bill speaks true, as he said in his email: if a person is really gonna have a good time and is not feeling 100% - before the event - then it is possible to make a total turnaround on how you feel.

way to go bill, i believe that. it's too bad i didn't feel that way yesterday morning. anyways, not so much at 100 % yesterday either. i got to Normal and picked up Liz, and she, stacy and i went to Lunker's, cool spot, i recommend it highly if you have the means. but the two beers must have not set well...alas i was feeling queasy all night. stacy had to get up at butt-crack-of-dawn-like hours, so i was graciously dumped off with tamara. again...ha. well, everyone...and i mean everyone from the Mafia was there, and we PLAYED "Mafia" i hate that damn card game. oh well, didn't stay long, tamara didn't feel very good either.

crap. the Weezer concert is tomorrow night and i've only been able to download 3 Jimmy Eat World songs. how prepared is that? not very prepared i tell you. ah well, i dig what i've heard already, so i'm assuming i'll dig the performance. oh, and i've gotten Bill hooked on Weezer too...but he can't come to the show...heh heh ah HA HA..

cast party went well. it seemed to fly by though. when i looked up, it was 10:00 already. whoa...anyhow, we were watching the backstage video, and can i say it is funnier than shit. anyhow, i called stacy up at 10, i had this urge to go to Normal and drown my Beatle sorrows with my fellow Beatlefans, they were gonna be at Daddio's at 11 pm. who? everyone pretty much. her, kevin, becky, jenny, gina, kelly....whoa. can't miss this right? you bet. tamara was gonna go out, but was sick. hmm...so i get an idea. i'll go to normal, go out with the ganag but i'll stop by and see t as well. i mean, she was sick, who doesn't want company? and i swear, if i'd known zac and some others pretty much deserted her and wouldn't bring movies over there, i woulda just stayed and watched a movie with her. sorry tamara...bad bad britt. anyhow, she loved the smarties...that's hanukkah gift #1...done. Daddio's was...hmmm...let's see....how shall i put this? CROWDED. yup. so i think we were about to scatter. kevin and becky were off to IBC (Illinois Brewing Company that is)....but we never got there...nope we went to Lizards Lounge to watch a crappy band and play darts and pool. yay. no, really it was fun. oh, and i counted, i had a total of 7 alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, shots, cocktail, etc) on this night. and i drove! no, but i was ok...it's just weird. how really none of it affected me. (sigh) guess my good ol tolerance is kickin up there. ah...and i got kevin a Bud glass....it's sooo easy to get bar glasses anymore. then i crashed on my favorite couch.

today, i was awakened by tamara giving me the phone...oh, it's stacy. wanting to got to the Pub II to drink. oh, ok, and eat too. then i see we have company. oh hi, becky's parents. anyhow, stacy ended up coming over and the three of us hung out for a bit and we convinced tamara to go to the Pub II with us. that was fun. except there was too much damn football on too many damn tvs. hmm. oh yea, it's sunday. then we got to go a cruising around the pathetic town of Normal in stacy's mom's convertible...yea!!! way to live!!! oh, and then we couldn't seem to get out of the damn car with all the Beatles songs on 93.3...ahhh...pure bliss..
now i'm home and don't stink and i need to get some food in me so adios.

ahhh...time to move on. yea. don't worry i'm ok. and for all of you who know me extremely well....you'll understand that. it's not like my life came to a screeching halt yesterday, but i was pretty damn sad. anyhow, it just goes to show no one can be admired enough while they're alive, everyone is taken for granted. including being proud to be an American...everyone was proud to be an American, but it was only after the attacks did we start to show it more. and for those of you non Beatle fans or those in general that said "who cares" to George's passing: i love you as my fellow human, but $%#%##%#$ off.

moving on, yesterday i went to work and a crapload of deliveries, but there was also mass confusion cause i took a box that said "whole stromboli" (nothing else) to a delivery that wanted a "whole stromboli" (nothing else), and was informed i'd taken the wrong one. ok, i went back. turns out there was a carry out that ordered a "whole stromboli" (minus onions). oh ok...but wait, box boxes were identical...no "no onions" markings...how the hell was i suppo- ah...confused? join the club. only joe and ..well..joe was not confused on this matter. who was in the right? well, me i guess....i furrowed no brows over it...i did get tipped good. anyhow, holly, pete and andrea came in around 10, as i was off work, and i'd asked bill to stop in pre-Applebys to toast George. so we all hung out there til 11. then i came home and watched Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
