I talk to myself

Even when I am alone, I talk to myself. And not just any talk, this is utter nonsense (gibberish). I just discovered this yesterday when Rex heard me in the other room and came in to ask, "what?" I then realized that, yes, I was talking, but no, I wasn't saying words. Just some roaring/mewing noise. You learn something new every day.

The Fabulous People of Subway Restaurant

My job decided that I should go to some fast food restaurants to ask for free food for an event we are hosting. I went to Taco Bell relatively without incident, and then it was off to Subway. I walked in and asked if there was a manager on duty. I was told that there was not, so I was just going to give my letter of explanation to the cashier and ask him to pass it along. I told the guy that I was a law student from across the street and that I wanted free food in exchange for advertising at our event, and if he could just give my letter to the manager that would be great. Mr. Cashier proceeds to ask my name and introduce himself, which was nice. Next he asked where the law school was. I pointed to the big building right across the street, and said, that's it. That big new building that says "Wolf Law." That's the law school. Then he said that he wanted to go to law school but he's a felon. Someone told him that felons can't go to law school. First of all, felons can go to law school, and many do. They let convicted murderers practice law. Second, this guy did not strike me as the kind of person who was going to go to law school but something else came up. He wasn't very bright, and he works at Subway. You're pretty much overqualified for that job if you have a GED, and that won't get you in to CU Law. Third, why would you tell a total stranger that you are a felon? That was the most baffling part of all. How do you respond, "oh that's nice, I'm a non-felon." Seriously.

A Hispanic Catholic Wedding in Houston

This past weekend I went to a wedding in Houston. But it was not just any old wedding. It was a Catholic wedding with an infusion of Hispanic tradition. It goes something like this: First, the bride's father hates her mother so they have to modify the opening bits. Then, on the altar the bride and groom have to kneel the entire ceremony. Which is very dignified. The priest makes a long speech about how you have to PRAY, PRAY, PRAY. Jesus must be a central part of your marriage (PN says, "That sounds like a threesome to me"). If you don't pray enough, every night before bed, before every meal, and most definitely in public (don't be embarrassed), then Satan will get you. This is all very natural, as it is a Catholic wedding. Then it gets interesting. Someone "close to the bride" comes up with a lasso. The lasso is rope with two loops tied in it (and some lace for effect). Then, these "special people" put the rope around the bride's and groom's necks, "binding them together." Sound kinky to you? It did to me. No joke, they tied them up, while kneeling, right there on the altar. Then they untie them, give them a giant bible on doilies, and it's all over. Thank God for it being over.

Late night television

It's not even that late, but sitting here in a hotel in Houston, I am SO amused by what's on the networks. Between crappy syndicated programming are the most awesome ads ever. For one, the Fancy Feast commercial mentioned below. Then, there was a commercial for the ASPCA, which is a great organization, but the commercial was simply stunning. The language about "vicious criminals" and how you can provide love and care with just some dollars per day really amuses me. If people who don't feed their pets are vicious criminals, what are rapists? Cuddly teddy bears? And how about that love and care? Couldn't you just actually adopt an animal and then be sure it's getting that TLC you're paying for?

Great new product!

So Fancy Feast just came out with a fabulous new dry cat food. It's Filet Mignon flavor, and it has real seafood and shrimp flavor! The website confirms this. I just never knew that filet mignon was seafood. I always thought it was cow.
