Woes of a gourmand
on May 31st, 2006Food.
I’ve been enormously spoiled (maybe a bad choice in words when speaking of food) by having lived the major portion of my life in California. California, being geographically positioned within walking distance of every other place on the face of the world has a fantastic array of restaurants, eateries, bistros, diners and greasy spoons serving just about any type of food one could desire as well as some questionable delicasies one might not (think: chicken sushi). |inline
Why to work at a video rental store
on January 31st, 2006There was a time, long ago when I worked in a video rental store. This was before DVDs were popular, but long after Beta-Max had been taken out to a field and shot in its stupid face. The store, which will remain unnamed (not that it exists anymore, but it sounds cooler if I don’t name it) was the kind of place that had a fantastically large budget which allowed better investment into marketing. Put the company’s name on the sign? No. We kept it simple with a red sign above the door proclaiming, “VIDEO” loud and clear to anyone who’s car broke down in front of the property, or if your car was wheelless and already up on blocks in front of the store. |inline
