After weeks of repeatedly seeing my name besmirched by Johnny-Cat for not blogging, today I make my triumpant return to the Macaroni Dish. Indeed, yesterday I assisted Johnny-cat via phone in the surgical procedure he performed upon his Jeep Cherokee...when he first described how only one side of the truck was working, I guessed a possible stroke, but alas it was a severed artery to the driver side door. After reconnecting the line and succesfully restoring electricity to the locks, windows and mirrors to the area I envisioned John dressed like He-man holding his sword to the sky and proclaiming "I have the POWER!!" (Hopefully, the readers are old enough to remember such a lame 80s reference) So anyway, lets see what else is new and bizarre down here at Spumoni Gardens South? This Saturday, Merle, Jenia Flect, Ian, Kendall and myself ventured downsouth to Lake Worth and stopped in a very low budget restaurant known simply as "The Taco Lady". In all respects, the food was real good and quite inexpensive...but it was the ambiance of this place that was completely disturbing. On every shirt worn by an employeee, (who was inevitably not smiling) and on every wall of this place was a memorial to different person who recently died...we were beset on all sides by tragedy. We decided to eat outside where we wouldnt feel guilty smiling. My suggestion for a slogan for this place would be "Taco Lady, where you can go for a good burrito...and a good cry". So I did read both entries of the romantic saga of Tom, and find myself startled that my advice was actually publicly requested: have we learned nothing in the last decade? Asking me, Frylock for relationship advice is like asking MC Hammer for financial advice...but I will try. Tommasino, like yourself I did in fact date an ex-girlfriend's (former) best friend earlier this year and discovered its not necessarily the best idea...follow in my footsteps and you may find yourself with a new cat and avoiding bars in Abacoa. Also, missing the prom may not be such a bad thing, you're not yet a senior and going to so many junior proms may devalue the Big Show for you. As for going with a friend rather than love interest thats actually a very good idea, it has a way lower incidence of drama. During my senior prom, the only ones not having fun were the couples. Speaking of which, it seems like I've been getting lambasted quite frequently lately for my well known privacy regarding my personal life...so without any details yet, I'll say theres a show in pre-production and we're currently watching to see if it gets picked up for the season. I'll keep you posted.
