Ash and Lotion
My Chinese take-out was so damn good last night. I ordered 2 spring rolls, wings, ribs, and pork fried rice. I can’t wait to eat the leftovers.
Why is it that some leftovers are so much better than the fresh meal? Sometimes I’ll cook and only eat a little bit just to have leftovers for the rest of the week. I’m strange.
As I was enjoying my take-out, Gus called to go out. He and one of the married couples came over to my place and we walked to the Gr0ve.
We had a damn good time. We went to 4 different bars/clubs and drank, not too much, but enough, and danced. Gus is such a bad dancer, especially when he dances by himself. He does the “two-step” as he likes to call it, which is just basically his feet step and touching from side to side. And sometimes he adds the finger snaps. Last night he kept telling me, “Just let me know when you get too embarrassed,” but I was too busy laughing at him.
While we were out, he mentioned that he really missed me this week. I told him it was because he ignored me on Saturday, which he denied. But I reminded him; I was so neglected that night.
And it turns out that I was right. It was because of that coworker Mike. Gus said that when the 5 of us go out, he knows that Al is always trying to hook up with our other coworker, Jenni, which then makes it seem like 2 couples and Mike. So to avoid Mike feeling like the 5th wheel, he doesn’t get too close to me. And I guess that’s noble.
Gus did say that he would make it up to me. That, I’m looking forward to.
Although I went to bed alone last night, I felt good from my time out with Gus and his friends. And I woke up in an unusually wonderful mood this morning.
As I was coming in to work this morning I heard Crazy M@ria’s song (I don’t know the name). There’s a line in there that says something about “them chickens are ash and I’m lotion”. What? I get the context of the line, I think. I assume she saying that she’s better than someone. But where the hell did that phrase come from? How did it originate? And when did lotion become a good a thing? I guess if I had my choice to be ash or lotion, I would choose lotion too. It can’t be much fun to be ash cause you’d be dry all the time.
I’m thinking about this way too much. I need to get back to work.
