Monday...Already?

 

Well, I did not go as far as to wear 'Sopranos' underwear, but I sure was glad to see them back after a two year hiatus. I've been waiting for this day since early 2004. Rather than head out to my parent's house today, I stayed home, slept a lot, made eggplant Parmesan (which came out great, I may add.), did some household chores, and waited for the 'Sopranos' to come on. It was another great weekend. I did not leave Long Beach at all, and loved every minute of it. It was so warm on Saturday that I was inspired to take down my Christmas tree and the lawn full of Santas and reindeer. (hahaha, fooled ya!) Truthfully though, there are people who leave their Christmas lights up all year. How fuckin' lazy can you be?

What's the deal with bananas? I buy them every week and I try to eat one each morning for breakfast but it seems like you have a 12 hour window to eat the fuckers. When I buy them they are way too green to eat, so I wait the two days for when they are just right. I bring one to work on Tuesday and enjoy it, but by the time I wake up on Wednesday to bring another to work, the fuckers are way too ripe. I feel as though I should scarf down like 5 every Tuesday just to avoid throwing them away. I already feel like a caged animal at work, why not act like one by eating a bunch of ripe bananas every Tuesday? Quite fitting I suppose.

Speaking of ripeness, or freshness, I was in the bakery the other day and a customer actually asked the lady behind the counter if something was "fresh." Like even if it wasn't fresh, like the bakery lady was going to admit it. I can see it now:

Customer- "Are those cannolis fresh?"
Bakery Lady- "Nope, they have been here for about 3 weeks."
Customer- "Oh, only three weeks?"
Bakery Lady- "Yes, sorry. They haven't aged to perfection yet."
Customer- "Ok, I'll take a layer cake instead."

People are just dumb. The same people ask waiters and waitresses if things on the menu are "good" or not. Like what the fuck is the server going to say? "Nope, it tastes like dirty ass."

Friday is St. Patrick's Day. Like we Irish folk need a reason to drink and get rowdy. It is something to look forward to regardless, especially since it falls on a Friday this year. No green beer or green bagels for me, just a night to celebrate the drunken side of the family with some Guinness and a night out and about. It seems like the Italian side of me is celebrated a whole lot more, so I have to give it an extra effort come Friday.

Sunday Nights are important for a very big reason. Each Sunday night, I peruse my 1400+ cd collection and choose 20 or to put in the car for the upcoming week. What I choose kind of sets the mood for the week. This week, I made sure to include the Irish favorites like Van Morrison, U2, and The Cranberries.

Have a wonderful start to the week everyone!
