The Teamster Try

Today I worked! That's right, I made 60 greenbacks for 4 hours of work painting with Schnocone and Beckster while listening to the Boston oldies station. Can we all agree that the oldies station is the only worthwhile corporate station in every market? It's so reliable, especially now that Schnocone tells me that XRT in Chicago has reached a new low...actually playing Nickelback.

The best part of work was the fact that it was basically just the three of us, talking, singing, and working very slowly. No, we're not in a union, but that doesn't stop us from acting like we are.

Last night Beckster made me some coconut skrimp and caribbean rice. It was delicious, and very filling. After, we went to my very first American bar legally. I was kind of nervous. We went to the People's Republic and had a great time. Just one drink because we had to wake up early tonight, but it had a good atmosphere...sooooo different from Madrid. Honestly, it was a Thursday night but felt like it was Monday morning. In Madrid it would have been wall to wall packed with the streets filled with people searching for the party. I totally love the American scene, too, though...just in a different way. I loved the mellow and the fact that I could actually sit down, hear my friends talk, and still get a hint of the ambient music. It was like my 21st birthday, which I think we may celebrate tonight at the Cantab. I'm crazy excited.

For lunch today we had some of Schnocone's garbage cuisine. It's a really great innovation. It's just like fusion, except way trashier and uglier. Schnocone is a master of garbage cuisine. At NYE, he made delicious garbage fried rice, and today we had garbage scrambled eggs. I can't wait to see what other garbage he can put together.

Today--more job hunting...maybe.
