McApple
So I went to McDonald's in my neighborhood yesterday...I know it seems nuts living in the center of the food universe and all, but sometimes you need a little fast food in your life. So I lug my 50 pound bag of laundry up the hill, on the way I hear the bag ripping and start freaking out picturing all of my bras and panties strewn across Broadway..anyway, having worked up a sweat in 20 degree weather, the golden arches just seemed like the right place to go for a little comfort food...right
First of all, the prices are sick, a quarter pounder meal is 6.39 (not even super sized!)...I get over it (afterall, I just paid 4 bucks a load for my laundry so what the hell) I notice the new angus burger they have and got really excited to try one. So I stand in a 15 minute line and get up to order. Of course I have to have it my way, so I say angus burger, pickles, mustard, ketchup only, simple...not First of all, english is the second language in my neighborhood so it took a minute for me to explain what I wanted. Then, the lady looked at me like I was nuts when I said I wanted mustard. She didn't know what I meant, so she starts asking everyone around her, she comes back and says mayonase? No, mustard, Then I get a look as if I had just ordered a burger with a side of crack on it. Now the people behind me are starting to get pissed. They start saying she means honey mustard (which I hate) and I calmy tell them this is not what I am looking for....so the next thing I know her manager is standing there. He knows english and asks me what I want. MUSTARD You know, what comes on every cheeseburger I have eaten at McDonald's since my happy meal days. He looked at me and says we don't have that. I don't get it so I start saying put the same thing on the angus that you put on your cheeeseburgers. He says, Mcdonald's has never had mustard and now I think I am in the twilight zone. Then he says "only McDonald's up in Connecticut or places like that have mustard, not around here" What a jackass I ordered chicken nuggets and walked away defeated. Needless to say the McComfort I sought turned out to be a McGiant Pain in the ass.
Okay, so now that I got that off my chest here are a couple of good things that have happened. New Year's was a blast, I spent it with Mike and Jen at the bar we play trivia at. It was 75 bucks for all the food and drink we wanted and karoake! I did times square once before and I think once is enough, so this was perfect, plus I had to work the next day which was not fun.
The party was a really good time, for the first time in my life I actually sang karoake, lets just say I didn't bring down the house, but I didn't clear it either. I chose Me and Bobby McGee by Janis Joplin which even a person with musical talent couldn't even pull off, what the hell was I thinking??
The next day after a very long day at work I ran into barnes and nobles to grab a book for the subway (I forgot mine and won't get on the train with nothing to read) and as I was walking out I ran into Yoko Ono. She was with a younger woman and they were looking for the movie section...I thought about doing a little stalking but then realized I was so tired I felt like I was sleepwalking.
That's about it for now, hope you are all doing well, will talk to you soon!
