:3: There was an envelope taped to my back door today. My grandpa left $50 and a note saying to take my lady out for dinner and a movie.

So I did. :3:

I have a rifle and a frying pan and I know how to use them
This year Ended like complete loving poo poo. My oval office in-laws that I hate showed up for Christmas with three days notice. They brought my sister-in-law that I hate just a little bit more than them along with her.

You annoy the poo poo out of me for four days and pretty much ruined Christmas. Wife's crying, I'm crying, hissing at each other in anger under her breath through gritted teeth, it was awesome! Oh, plus I was sick with a 103 degree fever! Then the wife was throwing up!!


Then those oval office-tards left, and it was time for my kids birthday! We went tubing! I dislocated my shoulder and had to have it reset!

My wife acted like I got sick and hurt myself as personal inconveniences to her! I must have done it on purpose to make things harder for her!

We went out for a holiday date to dinner and I spent the dinner explaining how I was going to be a better spouse and father next year!

The holidays were AWESOME!!!

(If still married next December, Christmas miracle has occurred)

Edit: loving Siri dictation was all full of stupid. Hopefully corrected.

Dude, I am legit sorry. I hope the coming days are better and slightly less stressful for you. Can I bake you some cookies or something?

This was basically the best Christmas of my life. I have a loving family for the first time in a long time. Presents aren't required, but they were a nice touch, too.

In 2013 news, friends, I guess I'm getting married soon.

Happy new year's day! 2012 was considerably better than 2011, and I'm hoping 2013 keeps up this trend. Main goals: Get a goddamn job, buy a motorcycle. If only opening up my resume in word didn't leave me a panicky mess, and if only econ degree jobs didn't require 2-3 years experience for entry level. :argh: fuckerrrrrssssss

New Years was fun. Had some friends over, made kosheri and roasted broccoli with almo d garlic dressing, and a Delicious lemon pudding. Much bubbly stuff was drunk, followed by port with the cheese. Babby makes it hard to go partying but this was pretty drat good. For an older person like me...

I go in today to finalize everything for school and get all my poo poo. I am both excited, anxious, and slightly queasy. The queasy may be because I had a coffee and it doesn't really mix well with me. Hope the people I have to wait in line with don't mind nervous coffee poots.

In other news, I am an idiot who stays up all night when they have to be up in the morning. That is all.

I thought cooking school was mainly superfluous because you need experience before anyone will hire you and therefore everyone starts at the same place, cooking school or not.

E: That is, assuming you mean cooking school!

Also, Happy new year! I like the new layout, actually... v:shobon:v We had a New Year's Eve oil fondue with some other good friends of ours and it was fantastic. We also watched Cabin In The Woods and made these weird Kool-aid wine blended sangria abortions.

No worries, I'm not under any delusions that I'll get to be sous right out of cooking school, I'm just going because I really need the skills, and it's a nice, quick little package. I know I'm gonna have to work my rear end off to get anywhere, degree or not. :3:

He just wants someone to shake his corks, is that too much to ask??
So.. I spend new years with a cook friend of mine, and we got to be discussing the business...

Sounds like everybody who wants to be something is on coke all the way through their apprenticeship, and well into the first 5 years, then they become sous, (after doing the journey thing), and develop a choleric temper - which basically ends them as a chef, where they become truly prima donnas, with all the temper tantrums that implies.

After having been there for a while they decide they're too good for that place, and get their own places - starting to rub elbows with the higher clientelle (minor nobles, minor business men, then major nobles then royalty), and finally ends up at the top of the world.

This progress can be stopped by:

1. Developing a serious coke habit that cannot be shaken
2. Blowing a serious gaskett during their choleric period, having to punch out with bad nerves
3. Having sex with the chef or the owner
4. Abusing staff to the point where they're left (serious talent is needed to be able to hold people when being a dick about stuff - it does however seem that the lower rungs of the business are primarily populated by people who would be self-flaggelating if they weren't in a kitchen)
5. Inability to stifle the prima donna gene when in the precense of ones betters
6. Feudes with competitive chefs (cleavers at dawn, no less)

It was an interesting talk about what is like to make food... (also - we were drunk, so things may have been somewhat exaggerated or charicatured)

Sup, quitting smoking buddy. poo poo sucks. Not my New Year's resolution, I happen to have a Jan. 1 birthday. I turned 30, decided it's time to stop living like a slob and lose some weight. Tough to lose the moobs when you've only got 20 minutes worth of wind on an elliptical/treadmill.
