This was a Pizza Hut; now it's all covered with daisies

So, let's see. Last night, I went out to eat at Friday's with Beth and her cousin Mark. We had bad service and they were out of the dessert that Beth wanted, but it was still pretty fun. I later had a dream that was going to volunteer at some place near a Pizza Hut. I'm not sure exactly what the place was, but I seem to recall seeing some sign about its being a wild bird center, which might have been inspired by the fact that Meyer from the off-topic list is planning on working at one (or might have already started by this point). Anyway, there was a lot of tall grass near the Pizza Hut, and I was trying to drive through it with Beth, and my car kept getting stuck and turning around and stuff. By the time I made it to the Pizza Hut, the lady I was supposed to meet had left long ago. After that, Beth wanted us to walk down some side street, but then she remembered she’d left her dog Dewey in the car.

Speaking of volunteering, I did some cataloging today at Longwood Gardens. It was pretty easy and enjoyable, except for the few times when a record didn’t exist. I’m hoping it will come in handy in a later job that actually pays something, and Longwood Gardens is a nice place to work. After I was done volunteering, I got some pizza (not at Pizza Hut, though; there are none of those in my area, since the local franchise went bankrupt) and went to a record store, where I bought a few singles that were in the discount bin (Tori Amos’ “Raspberry Swirl,” Blur’s “Tender,” and XTC’s “I’m The Man Who Murdered Love”), as well as Gentleman’s Blues, a Cracker album I didn’t have yet. Oh, and I heard XTC on the radio (specifically, “Earn Enough For Us” on WXPN), so that was cool.

Ain't democracy wonderful?

I took this survey.
