Sunday Bloody Mary Sunday

Can I get you anything else? So that was five bloody marys a mohito and a pitcher or mimosas...You guys all set? Ready to order? That was all I said for about five hours today during my brunch shift today. After a while you realize you've already made god tips so then you don't really want anymore tables cause you are tired and just want to sit down for five minutes but no I have to get a carafe of hot water so this lady can have hot water and lemon to drink along with her bloody mary. Now it is time to relax and get something to eat.

The big news of this weekend is the release of Dark Knight on thursday and which I promptly went and saw at 12:50PM on saturday. I rarely go and see movies on opening weekend or at all sometimes but this was well worth it. I don't want to spoil anything for anyone so I will just say that it is a good movie and I liked it very much. A complete movie that was more movie and less blockbuster will smith bullshit. Go see it and I doubt it will disappoint.

I am tired and sore and must go zone out on something.

Enough already

Thursday afternoon getting ready to go bowling just got home from work. It is day 4 or 5 or 6 of the Brett Favre watch as ESPN, and countless other stations, continues to beat this story, or non-story in my opinion, on whether or not ol Brett is gonna come back and sling it for one more season. I understand that the media is going to report whatever they have to for higher ratings but I have had all I can take. Until I hear Brett Favre or the Packers or someone with actual information not speculation I consider the whole thing first to be bullshit and second the worst idea ever. The Packers could finally move on to the post Favre era in good stead and not in complete rebuilding mode with a good team and what seems to be a decent QB and then this comes along and screws it all up and turns the whole situation into a joke. I know boxers retire and unretire all the time but other athletes when they retire have no choice and are physically unable to peform at a high level any longer while others are simply no longer wanted. Favre got it his way and walked away after a great season where I was not hoping for or against him coming back for one more year and, at least to this point before the season has started, fine with the decision from a fan standpoint. Now there is a pointless media storm that is frankley just starting to piss me off.
