yesterday/today/tomorrow/SHRIMP!

Once again, it's been awhile since I've blogged. This teaching thing is consuming so much of my time- more than I expected. Last night I got to release some stress, so that was good. Jason, Paul, Leah, and I went out to Westport, wined and dined (well, beerd and dined, really), and then we found ourselves at the nearest bar that wasn't incredibly loud like Syberg's was. The Dorsett Inn. What can I say? It was...interesting. While driving down Dorsett, (an area all of us are completely unfamiliar with), we decided to pull into the first place we saw with those neon bar signs on, so we pulled into The Dorsett Inn. Right as we did, a very strange looking "goth" type guy, who honestly looked like a serial killer, walked out the front door. We thought, what the hell, let's check it out. It wasn't too bad, I guess, except for the ridiculous $3 cover charge to get into this dump, apparently because of the horrible cover band that was playing. Oh, and besides the whole Paul speaking Spanish to a Native-American guy, and consequently almost getting his ass kicked. Well, kinda. Anyway, it was a good time. Today was good too. I shared a bottle of wine with my aunt Jean...it was nice. I don't think she and I have ever sat down and talked like that with no one else around. We usually only see each other during family functions, so it was quite nice. Now I'm rethinking the whole moving thing. I don't know if I want to be so far away from my family after all. Eh. I don't know. Anyway, tomorrow is pretty much going to suck. I have to do a shitload of lesson planning. :( And I have to pay my rent, so once again, I'll be completely broke. But, Monday will provide some comfort. Julie and I are going to gorge ourselves at Red Lobster. Endless Shrimp is back baby!!!! This event is seriously the highlight of my year. How PATHETIC is that?!?! Hmm...I just got the sudden urge to listen to some Marvin Gaye. That's weird. *Yawn* I'm tired. It's 9 o'clock on a Saturday night and I'm beat. Good night.

Dude that was seriously an awesome night. Recharged all my "happy" batteries. Even though I never want to go back to that place, it was kinda cool hopping into such a strange/new place.

Maybe the next time we go out we can pick a random place??? I'd like to go to that Irish bar down by Union Station (forget the name, the place where you went upstairs and the guy was watching all that porn).

Anyway, have fun with all that shrimp!!!

Hey Katie, I heard of this site before and an English teacher using it in a class as a warm up. I see how it could be used and you would be donating rice to feed hunger people:
