    Seems like spring arrived!

    It's going to be 10° C later this week. Yes, it'll go down to 5° and stay there for a while - but at least it means no more snow. Not going to be too positive, though - last year Easter had more snow than the Christmas before it...

    England will be between 11°C - 13°C while I'm there, so it'll be nice enough to take walks while Lost is at work.

    And I'm no longer a restaurant GM! I'm an astronaut! At least until my weed gummies wear off.

    Thank you for that

    Start a space-themed restaurant it`d be close enough. "The food`s out of this world!" Built-in slogan.

    Did they check Fosters home for the imaginary friend?



    Doing my first stand up bit, towards the end of this month. Anxiously excited, for it.

    It's been done a few times. Perhaps even successfully. Gimmicks don't really work in my opinion, unless you're in an infinite market (NYC, LA, Chicago), though Providence has more restaurants per capita than any city in the country. Or so I'm told.

    And now that the glow of my gummies has faded a bit, I'm reminded that it's Valentines week and I have over 1000 reservations in the next four days, and my odds of survival are less than even. Maybe my wife (the nurse) will kill me in my sleep like she's always threatening. This would be the night to do it, too. Day off before the atomic ass-reaming of Valentines week. Kill me now, babe... kill me now.

    I remember getting a whole lot of that from Boy Scout camp once. Can`t for my life recall what it tasted like. Thought it was neato though.

    We got some from the Smithsonian Space and Aeronautics Museum when I was a kid.
    Though now a days you can get it at sporting goods stores, or order it online. :p

    Going back to Trondheim (Norway) this spring! Get to hangout with my best bud again, haven't seen the nerdy viking for a year so that'll be great. (I think it's been a year...)

    I went out for dinner after a society meeting with people from the society - like twelve of us. I think it's the first time since I got to uni that I've really felt included in something. I should go out with them more often. (Also if I do I should start bringing my money because I'm now £9 in debt, but that's OK because I can pay it back.)

    Also I've survived the day without a nap, so my evening is now right on schedule and I should have lots of time for writing sleep writing sleep writing.
