i hate the night cat. really, truly

i refuse to step foot into this establishment again, not even if someone pays me. i've been there three times, which is twice too many. WHAT is the attraction. is it a simple numbers game, like oh this place looks crowded? mediocre music to mediocre people. i will get down to a james brown tune in the middle of s set, no problems.... but a full night of funk? to white people? every night of the week... do they feel validated because there's a few black people dancing around in their midst come the weekend? i don't mean to turn it into a racial thing, but the place fucking sucks!!! i fully admit to seeing the [slight] attraction of a man in a suit, but i will nevernevernever be attracted to a clubber guy wearing jeans a button-down. go fuck yourself.

ps, i worked my last day of work in possibly two years - weird!

music snobbery

i've never considered myself a music snob before - i know there are shit tons of people out there who are like music encyclopedias. but i felt my vag shrivel the other day as someone who claimed he was super into music proceeded to ask me, "do you know strokes?" and followed by listing the big ny bands from 2001. um, yeah, i know strokes. people with a collegiate knowledge of music (modest mouse, built to spill, etc) shouldn't call themselves musicheads. thanks and goodbye.

privilege

to be from somewhere people think is cool, it's a funny thing. there were a few chicks at my new job who were borderline bitchy, until they found out where i'm from. now they're almost fawning, it's really bizarre. but, i'll take it.

something else this country needs is a pbr equivalent. there is nothing better than still being able to drink some beers that aren't pissweak when you have $10 to your name.

busted

so it is normal practice here to charge for drinks at art openings. lame!

i've been, by and large, unimpressed with brunch offerings as well. there is one good place near me that uses super fresh ingredients. the mushroom omelette is very yummy, but it's a $16 omelette. other than that, there is little variation. eggs, baked beans, spinach, cooked tomatoes, mushrooms. totally uninspired stuff. yawwwwn.
