Happy Friday Everyone!
This was a pretty quick week in my book. I don't know if it's because it was such a stressful one or what...but it definitely flew by. Friday feels pretty well deserved.
The song of the day is Friday Night (excuse the cheese) by G. Love and Special Sauce. Here's a link: http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/search/?query=friday%20night%20g.%20love
I don't know how familiar you all are with G. Love, but he and his crew are simply...saucy. Ha. Really though. This song is off my all time FAVORITE album by them, Philadelphonic. It features a lot of that badass harmonica, and is the bridge between their bluesiness, and their funky hip hop stuff.
I here they put on one hell of a show too. I have yet to see them, but my sister did last year and said they just didn't want to get off the stage. I think that's when you know musicians are passionate about their music- when they just want to play all night.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy! Have fun and be safe tonight.
Until next tim ... more »

This episode won an Emmy last year and it talks about the effect the economy has on people and how South Park tries to fix this problem. Stan's dad has a big role in this because he convinces people to give up all modern conveniences and return to a traditional way of life. After living this way for a while Kyle gets a credit card and bails everybody out acting as their saviour. very clever and interesting because of its allusion to religious sources.

In this episode the boys get into wrestling and try to copy the WWF wrestlers. They put on a show with elaborate story lines about dating each other's girlfriends, fighting in vietnam, and being communist. Their audience believes them readily and exclaim " But they are so young!" which shows how people are ready to believe anything that involves wrestling and how these plot lines draw more people to the game. Truly funny especially when Cartman dresses up as a woamn who sleeps around and calls himself Big bertha. This episode can be seen on www.southpark studios.com

In this episode Butters discovers that being a pimp gets big money and that girls would kiss guys for five dollars. He sets up his own company to manage these girls and makes a huge fortune. However he does not know that what he is doing is illegal and wrong until after he is caught. Even going to a pimp convention and seeing the kind of people that are there does not set off an alarm for him. It is hillarious to watch and can be seen on www.southparkstudios.com

So it is official...we have mice! If you remember in my first blog I talked about my traumatic experience of finding a small little dying mouse in my kitchen the morning after a great concert with my best friends. Well on Halloween, another little mouse was found by my roommates. The little guy was just staring at her while she was relaxing in her bed. EWWW!!!! Of course she starting screaming which led me to start screaming even though I was all the way in the living room watching a movie. I knew as soon as I heard the screams what was going on. A mouse. Halloween was a rough time for me. I immediately had a panic attack knowing there was a little creature running around my apartment. My roommate had to carry me while I was crying to the bathroom so I could brush my teeth! I know it is stupid to have your greatest fear be a tiny little mouse but it is my fear. I can't help that I had a bad experience with a mouse when I was young. Ever since then I am petrified of mice. I ... more »

So basically as a server, your job is to sell not only the food, but yourself. The more charming you are the more your table will like you. Its basically a legal and, well, wholesome form of prostitution. So at what point do servers realize they've mastered the art, you ask? Simple answer: Numbers. These numbers include high tips and/or 7 digits. If your table has left you more than a 20% tip, you sold yourself well. If someone at your table has left you their number, well thats kinda creepy, but you have indeed sold yourself well. Good tips and phone numbers are where servers get their confidence. I've seen many a server bummed out due to crappy tips and even not getting a phone number in a while (seriously, I'm not even kidding). So when our managers say "SELL SELL SELL," they mean "Sell the food and yourselves so the company can make more money." Yes readers, prostitution is, in fact, legal.
