Taste the Rainbow

This weekend I had to go to WalMart. WalMart is bad. I went to help Angie register for baby things. I always think I have a lot of friends until I go to WalMart with Angie. She saw at least 4 people who she had to stop and talk to, and even if we HAD seen somebody that *I* knew, they'd probably know Angie, too. She's so famous. I wonder if she'd autograph my boob later.

I ate lunch with my Dad and my sister on Sunday. We went to the Chinese buffet close to my work, and Dad got this bowl of randomness. He got this shrimp.. thing. It said it was a "chicken dumpling". Okay? But there was a shrimp tail sticking out of it. Dad was like "I don't think this is chicken." and then he ate it. So not only has he SEEN the shrimp tail, he has now TASTED the shrimp.

So we move on to another topic for a minute or two, and then he picks up another "chicken dumpling" and interrupts us to announce "I don't think this is chicken, I really don't." As he studies the SHRIMP TAIL PROTRUDING FROM THE BATTER. Then he takes the batter off to find a shrimp, and tells us "That's not chicken." I started laughing, and he was like "What? What's so funny?!"

I love my dad.

I showed him my office and tried to explain what I do for about the 10th time. You wanna know what he was most interested in? Our fridge in the breakroom. According to dad, we need to clean it out. Thank you, dad. I'm glad you're so proud of me.

I was hanging out on my couch watching Rachael Ray this weekend with one of my friends. (I like $40 a day. I like how they try to make it suspenseful when it goes to commercial. WILL she be able to eat dinner on $14.38? Stay tuned!)

Friend: I want to fuck her.
Me: What? Who?
Friend: Racheal Ray.
Me: You want to fuck Rachael RAY, what? Is my world collapsing around me?
Friend: I can't help it.
Me: Seriously?! Rachael Ray?!
Friend: I think it stems from me wanting to shut her up.
Me: *pause to consider* I guess I could see that.
Friend: I was just watching her one day and she was stuffing a sausage, and it just came over me like fire.
Me: This disturbs me, but I like you so much right now for telling me that.
Friend: Hey, some things can't be helped.

I watched Dane Cook's "Vicious Circle" last night. Twice. I liked it a lot, but I didn't get the same joy out of it the way I did his earlier stuff, about public bathrooms and working at Burger King. Of course, I still laughed so hard I accidentally drooled on myself a little. Good times. I heart Dane.
