On Friday, I took a bus after work to Las Vegas so I could get my plane to Chicago for the Hondadays. Before that but after work, I met joy at home. She took a shower than we got food at my favorite MEXICAN restaurant on Washington. They just expanded their “dining room” to include what looks like an old laundry mat. It is huge, has fluorescent lighting, and tvs. The restaurant is called Tacos de Galavin or something and they have free steaming beans. Also, salads and miscellaneous toppings. Joy and I spent 20 bucks in no time flat and then ate until it was like 5 til my bus left. I got there and the line was astronomically long. Of course I had to change my eticket cause I rush-bought my ticket earlier in the week and bought the wrong date. So I stood in two lines before I made it to the correct line, which was the longest of the three. This lady with a stocking cap was walking around with a stack of 20’s asking if she could buy her ticket with them because her bus was about to leave and she didn’t want to miss it. She was scary looking. She had a stocking cap on, thin face, a cigarette over each ear, and a bag of old blankets. She was weathered. After people said “no” or “scram” she swore under her breath about how they sucked. She asked me if I was buying a ticket and I said no and then she went “SO WHY THE @#$@#$# are you STANDING IN LINE???” SO she finally convinced somebody behind me to let her “cut.” They were also crazy and had bags full of blankets. SO I finally got to the front of the line and the $10 I had to pay to exchange my ticket NEEDED 2 B in cash even though I bought my original ticket online with a CC. SO that sucked, and I had to go get cash. I made my way back and went to the front of the line because I had pre-approval to get back in her line, as to not wait another hour to pay 10 in cash. So I get up there and next thing I know 2 cigarettes is yelling so loud at me like “O NO YOU DIDN’T JUST BUT IN LINE. I HAVENT SEEN YOU. I AM NOT AWARE OF YOU BEING IN LINE”.. SO it was really clever how her morals applied to others and not her own cut-sies. So we had a word war, and I ended up winning, even though I felt like she was gonna kick my ass. Luckily the lines for Las Vegas and Sacramento were neither Kitty-corner nor adjacent.

I found 20 on the floor next to the Starbucks in Harrah’s. I also got a free limo to the airport compliments of the bellman next to the cab line. The airport slots were good to me especially the WOF 25 cents. Thanks 250 spin!

My parents and granny had a new house, so that was nice to sniff fresh paint and unsteped on carpet. We played cards at my grandma’s on Christmas Eve. On Christmas day, my cousin and I made fake bats and snakes and pranked relatives in the basement. Thank god his sister got a karaoke machine for Christmas. It had a special affect button it that made for super-realistic bat screeches. On the day after Christmas, Bob came over to watch Joy on Crosswords (NBC 3pm). Unfortunately, the 3 pm was for Pacific Time zone, so the show was actually airing while we chomped on ice cream and pizza burger at “Charlie II’s”. Charlie II’S closed at 3. 3II. DUNNO.

Then we went to the airport and I flew black here.

Beth’s brother had his finger busted off while loading a truck so she asked to borrow my car while I was away. Of course I said yes. So when I got back I looked over the car to see how much damage and surprisingly there wasn’t any.

The next morning I was getting ready to leave for work and Beth came racing through the door and basically told me that the roof rack from my car was gone. She didn’t realize this until the other day when she was at Ralph’s and she was looking for the car/with roof rack and she didn’t see it. She found the car but couldn’t remember where the rack went. It went into the car wash, apparently. So I went with her to the car wash to ask if they had it and it was sitting there on the side of the building looking sad. We “spoke to the manager” about it and he gave us some speech about how it must have been loose. Couldn’t have been loose from the accident into Mt. Rushmore-parking cause since then it had been replaced, yo! So, while I was at work, Beth went to AutoZone to get a new, less bent rail to put the bike in. O yeah, the bike rack sitting next to the car was was mangled and bent. So while was Boom-ing on Washington, she called Thule from Auto Zone and told the representative that the roof rack she had was bent (not explaining that it got mangled in a car wash). So the guy thought it was sent out busted and has since shipped us out some new rails!! 4 Free!!

Other things include me hating Long Beach theater troupe and wanting to tell them to scram, but too afraid to. Should I?
