The past week has been an epic adventure of over eating:
Tuesday night: 4 large slices of spinach and artichoke pizza at Star Pizza
Wednesday night: Fajita dinner at El Ricon
Thursday: Thanksgiving feast-multiple servings of turkey, mashed potatoes with gravy, baked cranberries and apples, cornbread dressing, sweet rolls, green peas, and pecan pie.
Friday: Renfest-bites of turkey leg, potato and cheese pierogi's, apple dumpling with vanilla icecream, bites of funnel cake. Topped it off with a Whataburger #1 meal for dinner.
Saturday: Turkey Sandwich/other leftovers from Thanksgiving, my dad's chili, sweet potato pie, potluck: Mallory's delicious humus and pita bread, Chelsea's delicious Penne, Carlos's fathers tiramisu, and polished off the night with an A-1 thick n' hardy sans bacon, gallons of Dr. Pepper and coffee throughout the week.
All about getting shitty and GAINS. I am truly thankful for such fine dining this week.
Minor Rant:
The Dallas Stars fucking suck. That is all.

mug mug mug
Working at a coffee shop produces so much gripe fodder for this site, I'm mad at myself for not using them until now. Here we go.
-Customers who ask me how much things cost: the menu is right in front of you. Read.
-Customers who ask me for drink recommendations. If you need a recommendation, you won't like what I recommend for you. I don't like white chocolate/hazelnut/caramel frozen lattes.
-Customers who think I'm impressed by the "large" amount of caffeine they're getting in their mocha to "stay up all night, bro"
-Customers who call me bro.
-Mispronunciations of various coffee terms: "expresso," "cuppaccino," "coffee latte"
-Customers who watch me make their ludicrous triple shot, extra chocolate, nonfat, sugar free vanilla abortion, and wait until I'm through making it to tell me that they wanted it iced instead.
-Specific customer who demanded I give her a new cookie, because her's was broken. What, are you 6?
-Specific customer who used my tip jar to make change for a dollar while my back was turned, and acted like I didn't catch him elbow deep in a serious faux pas.
-The way my hands are always dry and smell like espresso.
-The way my tip jar is really more of a currency trashcan for pennies.
-Customers that develop an ego about their drinks and seem to think they're "coffee people." Yeah, bro. You're the fuckin' man, drinkin that frozen vanilla white chocolate mocha. You love coffee.
-"What flavor is your cappuccino?"
-Customers who pay with money that is wet from their thigh-sweat-soaked pockets.
-The fact that absolutely no one cleans the coffee, half & half, sugar, etc. that they spill on the counter.
-Customers who order iced cappuccinos.
-Specific customer who always orders a half-shot latte, takes a sip, asks that I keep diluting it with milk, repeat, because the espresso gives her headaches. Here is a glass of milk. You can put a lid on it and pretend it's a latte, so people will still think you're cool.
Those are the most grating. There's probably more but I'm feeling like a cynical asshole now.
Good things:
-seeing Rival Schools
-Halloween Is Grinch Night
-battling my usual morning dread/depression by putting myself into walking comas with Beestings, Isis, Sleep, Interpol, Cave In, and various other calming crushes.
-Step Brothers
-Cottage Cheese
-I'd like to sleep in a pile of clean laundry one day.

Rants and other useless crap:
Good-bye Whataburger Honey BBQ Chicken Strip Sandwich. You will be missed dear friend. However, hello Thick n' Hardy A1 burger sans bacon. Gains!
Rant: Bro's Bombin' hills o n UH Campus
This semester I have noticed that there is an abundance of bros walking around campus with a Sector 9 longboard over there shoulder or awkwardly riding around mango style from class to class. I literally saw someone pull up in the parking lot next to me, take out a longboard from the bed of their truck then walked across the street to class. The whole new longboard bro trend has left me baffled and bummed out. If you are going to buy into the trend, at least please me by riding the damn thing around.
My new rig: Sunn Beta Bass Head, Ampeg 810, RATT 2 Pedal. Look forward to putting that into action.

Dickhead weekend
Danny, Alex and I spent Halloween weekend in true dickhead fashion. Saturday consisted of us laying in bed watching Pineapple Express and Step Brothers while consuming mass quantities of store purchased leftover Halloween candy (consisting of M&Ms, Oh, Henry!, Milky Way, 100 Grand Bar, Smarties, Raisinetes, and more), drinking soda, and lounging in long johns. The rest of the day was devoted to heckling people from Alex's balcony and consuming even more Halloween candy and soda.
Such dickheads!
Here is a video of Feed for your enjoyment taken two weeks ago at the broken neck:
I was very fortunate to see them on three occasions before they returned back to the studio for hibernation to finish recording their 10"/CD, out on Thrashed Records and Seafoam recordings next year.
