G-R-O-S-S! Ok that's all I have on that subject.
I do have to comment on my pre-globes evening though. It is just plain ol interesting to go to a bar by yourself. If you have never done so, I highly suggest it. On the surface it may look sad, lonely, and pathetic, but I have met the most diverse people, and gained some bizarre stories. Last night was no exception. First I met a lovely couple, David and Amanda. They had with them Angel, their Pomeranian/Chiwuaua puppy. This thing was cute as hell, but hated my guts. It was just so weird to see a dog in a bar though. It kept yapping and running around and almost getting stepped on. I'm thinking of bringing Kodie sometime. I then bellied up to the bar and met Sean, who's family is ironicly from Norfolk. Nebraska is such a conversation starter. Anyway, Sean was pretty tame, but he got me in a convo with the bartender who was just a kick! Her name was Michele, this 40 something French woman with a tude as big as the country she came from. I really have to work on my French accent because the story doesn't do it justice without it. She was just hilarious bitching about people "Ugh -- ze yell at me 'get me ziz and get me zat' what do dey tink diz iz my jub?" YES Michele this IS your job crazy woman! But she was so nice to me, thanks to Sean.
I ended my evening on what could me the most bizarre encounter of my 6 months living here, second only to Ellen and Sara's Halloween adventure. There was open mic at the Rainbow, so I thought I'd stop in and see what that was all about. I only needed like 7 seconds to get an eyeful. There on stage was this man who, as I described it to Holly, looked like he had killed and skinned the Cookie Monster, and taken his fur and died it Bright Neon Green. He then took that fur and made himself some fur - chaps, a fur tube top, and a mop of green fur veiled hair. And there he stood on the stage, with a guy quietly strumming guitar behind him chanting things like "I am the Mouse in the World's Computer!" and then a few inappropriate things that I'll keep to myself. Great great material.
