houlihan's, again

i hate meeting at houlihan's so much, but it's the only place that's open late and serves liquor. but last night i met up with danielle so that i could give her some souvenirs from the eu. i told some stories and drank some brew. shortly thereafter, her bff ali showed up with boyfriend matt. ali tried the old "i don't have my id" trick, but it didn't work out too well. some small talk followed.

then cj showed up with kelly, and pretty much everyone worked at chili's at some point, so everyone knew each other. ali and matt left, but cagney showed up, another ex-chili's server. conversation moved from europe to chili's to music to hippie weddings (kelly's siter) to veganism (of which cagney practices) to cj's new place in chicago (and new gigs) to paradise pie and back to music, where the night ended... approximately 1:00am.

and while houli's can sometimes become redundant, it was an excellent convo night, and i wish you were there.

planning to go insane

this europe trip has been a logistical nightmare. danny and i took three hours to find an available hostel in amsterdam and dublin . tomorrow, we have to get some accomodations for warsaw , vienna , and prague . thankfully beth is planning the greece portion of the trip. danny and i ate sushi at china palace ... which now serves thai food !?!?! i know, it's a shocker to me too. we then went to barnes and noble to pick up some travel books. while there, danny noticed a nice pair of legs and knee high boots with a short skirt. she was a goth chick, which is not usually something i concern myself with... but goth chicks need love too, and she was a cutie. we then stopped at 4 stores before finding a reasonably priced plug set for european countries. who knew that it would be so hard to find such a thing... during the summer... when everyone goes on vacation... huh?

auf wiedersehen

i wanted to post this on the board at express... but after being gone so long, i realized that now just isn't the time for me to go back there. here's the so long, farewell speech... To my express family – Another chapter in my life is complete. One year and nine months ago, I began at Express probably much like you did… looking for a part-time job where I could have some fun, meet some people and maybe buy a few clothes. Little did I know that it would become so much more. I did buy clothes… shit loads. 1MX shirts in every imaginable color, denim in all 3 fits, and enough polos to clothe a small African country. I even had Aymeei as my addiction consultant, approving various colors and styles based on my known wardrobe. I would've been better had it not been for the damn Express Card people constantly increasing my limit. I've met a lot of people… from our regular customers with never-ending exchanges to the associates who've quit after one overnight floorset. Ther
