Whelp tickets, it’s been awhile since the EFD has reared its ugly and somewhat confusing head, but some people have been busy this first of tha 2011 month being unemployed and loving it. But today, I’m back at work. So obviously that means taking some time out on the company dollar to enlighten the two of you who read this blog who aren’t already hip to this phrase through being on the daily email chain.
There are always a lot of things that happen in San Francisco. Especially when happy hour starts at Tortilla Heights (aka that place where they give you the voodoo mind eraser margaritas). One happy Friday a few years back when Danny Krueger lived in the Haight with a jelly donut, he introduced me to both voodoo margaritas and a miss Leslie Waggoner. Both had an effect on me such that I will remember forever…I mean, as much as I can remember from that night…
Two pitchers and not enough food later, our trio found ourselves prancing into the corner store to continue our downward spiral into drunkenness. We were at a loss as to what to get, until Danny held up a sixer of some sort of beer we apparently all like because all I could muster was this incredibly enthusiastic response:
I still remember the look in Danny’s eyes. It was as though Borat had possessed me with the passion of Tennessee Williams and was using my body to transmit a message of approval to Danny regarding the beer. He asked why I’d said it that way, I didn’t have an answer. It’s just one of those things that happen sometimes, like when people who practice that one religion speak in tongues. So naturally the three of us started saying it and couldn’t stop, not even three drunken rounds of Guitar Hero later. Even when the granimal in Leslie came out and she decided to go for a last-call beverage up the street, leaving Danny and I barely coherent in the living room to half-heartedly strum ‘More Than A Feeling,’ before giving ourselves over to Arrested Development reruns, we encouraged her to get that last call six pack. And now it’s become one of those things we all say, in various ways, to show support for one another’s actions. Oh, and the honorable mention here goes to Amandageddon Huffman for being so concerned about the health and fitness of the Diverse Friendship Tribe. Thanks Amanda!

Omega you guys. I just keep remembering Hot Tube Time Machine moments and there were so many good ones in there for us! It's totally how like in 'I Love You, Man,' they have Jason Segal saying 'stuuuupid' when he's watching Chocolat. Damn. That movie is funny. But we should do that movie-watching road trip to somewhere isolated so we're forced to watch movies. And Danny, maybe we should all come with you on your cross-country trek and do that Boys on the Side road trip that's been so talked up.

DANG you guys. I just got an email from that MoFo lady saying they're still doing first round interviews and will be deciding who to move forward with next week!
But, when she scheduled me she had me come in right away. So that either means: a) they saw a bunch of us 2 weeks ago and didnt' like any of us and are still tyring to decide or b) ...? I don't even know what.
3 fucking weeks to go through interviews though? The position isn't for the President of the United States..Its a fucking entry level business development position.
I'd better a) get that job pack and b) make a shit ton of money.

Danny, get that insurance six pack. You never know when your appendix might explode or uterus will get an intruder. What if you need reconstructive ball surgery? I was on a COBRA plan before and it was $400/mo and I still had to pay $25 for prescriptions. I just looked at United and its $123/mo. I've been real happy with Unite. Isn't Dave technically still employed at Berkeley? Could you add on to his policy now?
Did anyone watch Futurama last week? It was ridiculously funny. Like one of the best episodes I've seen in a while. Dr. Zoidburg and the professor were cracking my shit up!

I just went to the gym during my lunch break and I'm now eating a bunch of lettuce with some black beans, corn, and some other shit that grows in the ground. This is so that I can have another Mexican dinner and a bottle of wine after work. I'm supposed to fuck around with some ex from years ago later, but the current sort of boyfriend now wants me to sleep over tonight AND Saturday, AND I'm supposed to go out with that waiter on Saturday. I am working the single life six pack like never before and I better not get strep throat. So I upgraded myself to first class on my flight from NY yesterday because I'm a fancy boy and the gayest flight attendant ever was handling first class so he gave me a a mimosa when I boarded, then followed it up with a pint glass of white wine that he kept refilling until about five hours into the flight which was when I told him that I was going to be his responsibility, to which he responded - basically to the entire cabin - that that was so hot he got a blister. Some older lady flight attendant saw him pouring wine into my pint glass and was like, "oh, god! That's wine!" and I rolled my eyes and continued watching Sex and the City 2. SO BAD. Then I started talking to the jewish girl next to me about Rosh Hoshanah. Happy Jew new year, by the way! Anyway, after getting drunk yesterday I ate a bunch of peanut butter and a burrito. That's why I went to the gym. The eating and drinking is out of CONTROL.
That's my update, Liz. My play by play. You're welcome.
Amanda, are you now pregnant from the slip and slide and fuck Amanda from behind experience?

Susan, this made me literally spit goat cheese on my keyboard when I laughed: "Also, every single person I've ever known who had parents who smoked around them turned out to be antismokers. Maybe he's doing it for his kids future"
I just finished work yoga and it was great! There were only three of us doing it (plus the instructor who has a nice, warm touch to correct all of my jiggety poses with). For some reason my stomach hurts now, tho. I am eating the salad I made from scratch! Maybe I can't eat salad anymore either. Weight loss SCREAMS!!!!
