Family has come and gone, Aunt has died and was buried, living in her condo mostly, still haven't heard back from chef at 24. BLAH! I guess I will move on from what seemed like a certainty, as it now looks much less likey and summer is running out of patience. What next? No se. I will try to get a bartending shift or two, hopefully find a restaurant to learn at, and maybe even figure out where we are going to live in the fall! AAAHHH! I finally started practicing my tourne today. That proved that I need to keep practicing it. I will also need to get my hands back in proper shape for regular, human knife work.
Went to Shehrezad for dinner. I think some butthole fell into the falafel. That made everything taste terrible to me. Before, pretty good. My dinner was JUST little slivers of overcooked lamb and steamed carrots, broccolli, and cauliflower. Lots of each, when instead, they could have actually made a composed dish. Fucking ridiculous. Their soup sucks, too. I love falafel! It is easy, delicious, and cheap! I thought at first that it was the tahini, but got more, and tasted it by itself, and it was just funky, bad falafel! Beyond that, my sister is ULTRA pissy lately, and taking EVERYTHING very personally. She has a hair trigger on that bitch switch, and is always ready to ruin a ploeasant time. Lovely. She was extra bitchy because she had steered us back to this Middle Eastern mediocrity instead of Amici's, an amazing pizza place in Royal Oak. She wanted something lighter than pizza and salad because she has an intense workout planned for the morning. So, instead of vegan pizza, and salad, it was fried chickpeas, pureed chickpeas, and an oily-ass salad. Seemed like a pretty dense alternative. Her favorite responses are "whatever" and "no! nevermind!" followed by averted gaze and tense silence. I guess she's fine elsewhere, which makes her shitty attitude even more upsetting. I'm getting attitude for being disgusted by crappy food!
Whatever. Nevermind. I just don't like other people forcing their negativity on to situations where ALL parties involved were happy and having fun. She is such a brat sometimes. She yells at me for having fun, then yells at me more for being pissed that I'm not allowed to have fun!
I look forward to the school year, which will be kicked off early with the first ICC practice on August 23+24! I will almost certainly be too busy to worry about other peoples' turbulent emotions, but hopefully not too busy to focus on school, and maybe even work.
There is a birthday bbq on the thirtieth before any of that! I am going to bake some beans, use some of my mango chutney in them, and hopefully get it together enough to do some horseradish-cheddar grits.maybe I can pickle some veggies, too. I might have to pop in at the restaurant to borrow a couple of burners and a refrigerator for this project. I am not loving the flat range here, and a jar of hot bacon grease allowed it's bottom to secede from the walls, covering me in very hot, porky napalm the other day. It could have been way worse, as I was in flip flops and did not burn or cut my toes. I am also very glad that I chose to wear jeans and a shirt. The shirt, which took a big splattering, was donated to the cleanup effort, and was retired afterward. It will be missed.
