In Eckleburg's Eyes - 2/4/2009, Part 2

News & Notes from Monday-Tuesday, February 2nd-3rd, 2009, Part 2

-On Tuesday night, JTH, JDM, and I ate supper at Applebees. Before heading to the restaurant, I picked JTH up at MoFoS. There was a large contingency hanging around the store, most of whom knew someone who worked there. As is often the case, the group was playing Guitar Hero when I arrived. (Have I mentioned that it is a very difficult job?) JTH was performing horribly and attributed it to his being forced to stand. He would not leave without one more game with a seat provided. He somewhat redeemed himself by scoring 88% on Italian Gothic metal band Lacuna Coil’s 2006 hit “Closer”. He felt better about himself anyway and that is all that really matters.

-At Applebees, AFH was our server. This was especially significant on this night. Not only did we meet her good friend Jessica (who usually works the day shift) but we recruited her to play on our yet to exist volleyball team (which was conceived of only earlier in the day). The main reason for our asking is that we really like her but the fact that she is 6'3" and athletic does not hurt either.

-AFH is doing well after completing her 21-day fast but has been experiencing inexplicable heartburn. Please keep this development in your prayers.

-When I returned JTH to his pickup truck, we quickly discovered that TJK had toilet papered JTH’s vehicle shut. When JTH tried to open the door of the truck, he realized that TJK had also poured water all over the door knowing that it would freeze quickly. JTH understood that reciprocation was necessary in such a situation. What would appease JTH? At the moment, he replied, “I’m thinking, paint his car...a big swastika...”

-Note: I apologize for the poor quality of this photo but I was not about to get out of the car in freezing temperatures just to get a picture.

-Finally, Tuesday marked my cousin HLN’s 18th birthday. Happy birthday, Pukester. I love you and hope to celebrate with you soon.
