The miscellaney et all

1) Valentine's Day:

I think it says a lot about my view of the whole service industry that my honest-to-goodness reaction upon driving past a local (and popular) Italian place on Valentine's Day was not a) depression that I wasn't going there that evening, b) depression that I wasn't spending the evening romantically as I am (as always) terminally single, or even c) jealousy of the various females going in there on their dates' arms, but d) (said to fellow customer-service-slaves themaureencorps and shewhomustbeobeyed) "good gosh, can you imagine having to WORK there tonight?"

I spent the evening with some good friends, comfy clothes, and hysterically funny/hysterically funny-cause-they're-so-bad shows and movies.  Keeping Up Appearances and (of all things) Robin Hood: Men In Tights, to be exact.  The former was just funny, while the second was so incredibly and mind-bogglingly awful that it was funny. 

As a side note, black raspberry chocolate ice cream should be a controlled substance.  My only "control" for the stuff is to leave anything left over at themaureencorps/shewhomustbeobeyed's house, or it WILL become one with my hips.  As it is, I'm about to break in a new Pilates video.

2) School/Life:

Musical madness.  Go to class, go to rehearsal, go to work, go home at midnight and collapse into bed.  Wash and repeat.  It's all good, and it's all crazy.  I'm trying to come up with a plan that would allow me to not work and just attend class starting in my junior year or perhaps even a year from now.  I LOVE what I'm doing in school; it really is wonderful.  I enjoy all my classes--even the theory!  It's just that I am absolutely stretched to my limit time-wise, and, frankly, I am not giving a lot of things the attention they deserve.  I know that there are a lot of things I could do better if I just had more TIME.  Ha.
