Who Were You In a Past Life?

You Are Likely a First Born

At your darkest moments, you feel guilty. At work and school, you do best when you're researching. When you love someone, you tend to agree with them often. In friendship, you are considerate and compromising. Your ideal careers are: business, research, counseling, promotion, and speaking. You will leave your mark on the world with discoveries, new information, and teaching people to dream.

Work makes you free

Um, no it doesn't.... I don't know who said that, but I personally think they were Crazy. I worked from 9 til 3 today, and it was insanely busy up until the last ten minutes too. And damn them, because I had lots of good web browsing to do and emails to read, and that's really hard to do when people want to buy their damn cigarettes.

Oh well. I am looking forward to Jamie and Savannah coming over to Belly Dance today. I am enjoying uninhibited use of the internet at present because Jeff is at work. I just felt like updating because I was recently reminded that people do in fact read my blog.

On Thursday night Jeff and I went to see The Elephant Man at Pitt-Bradford. It was a pretty good show, and Paul was in it. As it's his last show, it may be the last show I see for sometime, unless Dr. Ewert actually picks a script I'm interested in. Sometimes I swear he just gets a pile of the most offbeat, strange, out-there scripts he can, and then scatters them about his office and throws a lawn dart.

That being said, I did really enjoy Elephant Man. The costumes were great, once again Dr. Ewert went with a minimal set, really just a backdrop with a lot of little set pieces that could be quickly changed between scenes. It is a good story, of how John Merrick went from being a sideshow freak to being visited by the creme de la creme of London society at his home in the London Hospital. It brings up a lot of interesting thoughts about the nature of charity and definition of exhibitionism. Was Dr. Treves really trying to help Merrick, or just using him, or was it really any better to be stared at by royalty than at commoners for tuppence?

I may go a second time with Jamie if she goes back again during tomorrow's matinee.

Yesterday, Jeff and I were going to go to Erie so I could take the postal exam for that area. But with the long drive, and the weather reports, and the fact that Jeff would have had over 3 hrs in Erie to kill by himself, we decided just to stay home. We got a Ton of laundry done, and had stir fry for dinner, which was nice.

And in closing today, isn't it nice that sometimes when you are thinking about someone, they are thinking about you too?

Merry Part and Blessed Be!

The Worst Eat N Park ever

So we arrived back from the 'Burgh safely, if somewhat later than orignally expected.

Now what follows, boys, girls and strange people who come across my blog from afar, is a cautionary tale. A tale of desperation and settling for mediocrity, all in the name of hunger. And damn Sundays. The Goddess didn't rest that day, I don't see why anyone else should.

Now, what the hell is Suzanne babbling about? And why is this blog entry entitled the Worst Eat N Park ever? Well I shall tell you now.

On our way back from Pittsburgh, we realized that by the time we got to Brookville, which is approximately the halfway point of the trip and has lots of restaurants directly off of our route, many would probably be closed as it was Sunday. So we started watching the exits on 28 N, looking for an Eat N Park, a Kings, something like that. So we see an exit with a sign for McDonalds, Arbys and Eat N Park and get off there. First off, when I see sign for a restaurant off an exit, I want it to be at the end of the exit, or at least within sight of it. This was not. It was up a hill and around a bend, almost 2 miles from the actual exit. The restaurant was also located on a side road that ran parallel to the main road, which was nearly impossible to tell in the dark. I went to turn left and discovered that, luckily there was no one coming behind me so I could get back into my own lane and out of the way of oncoming traffic. When we went in, I could tell it was a little run down. Seats that were split open, and the whole place felt a little dark. Maybe I'm comparing it to the Eat N Park in Reno, PA, which has always been nice and clean, with lots of fake, but tasteful, green plants. The waitresses were all dressed in Steelers attire, because it was a Sunday and we were less than 20 minutes outside of Pittsburgh. Both the hostess and the waitress seemed like they were in a hurry. I ordered the Chicken Alfredo with Broccoli, Jeff and Jamie both had burgers. When our food came out, there was no broccoli on my dinner because they were out. Now normally at a restaurant, as soon as they know they are out of something they will either tell you right when you order, or come back out and let you know, and ask if you want to change your order. This waitress basically came out handed out the plates, said, "We were out of broccoli, is that okay?" I said, Sure, because I was hungry. But I had really been looking forward to the broccoli, so I was disappointed. And I thought the waitress had kind of an attitude. I will say there coffee was all right, Jamie and I both had some to go, a mocha something and I had a vanilla capuccino. But this was the Eat N Park in Natrona Heights. I do not recommend it. At All.

The rest of the drive home was uneventful. Jeff, Jamie and I all got home safe and sound.

Oh and Jamie is my girlfriend now. Nya nya nya nya nah nah. :P

Merry Part and Blessed Be

Blogging from the 'Burgh 2

Still in Pittsburgh, we're just waiting for Wendy to get back before we hit the road. Jeff and Grant are looking thru the World of Warcraft Atlas Jeff bought at the Century III mall. I got some new rocks at a store there, they also had wooden chirping frogs.

Now to get packed up so we're ready to go, I think I am also going to grab some leftovers from our big dinner yesterday. I'm hungry again.

Merry Part and Blessed Be!
