Our Man in Antigua

Urine? if it isn’t Fried Day is it still Thursday?…o, the week that was..the drums, the godawful pounding of ‘boom boom…boom boom boom’…over and over again, in a relentless symphony of wasted higher(sic)education….how many ‘colleges’ are there in town? ten?..pick a number.  How much time to they spend on drums, xylophones and minor instruments? i’m not complaining, ok? i like spectacle just as much as the next guy..boom boom..i just don’t see much of a future for these graduates but maybe that’s the point.

ah..met ‘Luciano’ of the great lasagna…hell, already knew him…of La Caz Italiano…anyway, went by Pan e Fantasia and there he was, whipping up whatever he whips up…’had to say that the lasagna that Miss M and i made a dent in was outrageous, superb and so on..blah, blah blah..and it was…fine..go by and buy a frozen/take out portion…95 q and good for 4 servings..

and I see that yet another attempt to scale/surmount and achieve culinary stardom has occured…to someone who might have seen the handwriting on the wall, the empty tables and the lack of business…6th calle, poiniente..azul 69 or such…i’m reminded of builders who can’t stop building houses, hookers who can’t stop thinking they can sing and so on…was it Siggy the Coke Head who said that insanity is defined by doing the same thing over and over again, while expecting change?

great talks with Monica of Jungle Party….’never realized what a head she has for biz…and thank you for reiterating(and also Nicky Z) that  I need to get with the times, go with the flow and have an ‘app’ created for ‘Our Man in Antigua-stan’…look, i’m on it..ok? nothing works as planned, as we well know…friinstance…monday, i take the stamp back to Frener..’let’s change ‘approved’ to ‘recommended’…ok, fine..come back on tuesday…they’re closed..come back today…thursday..come back tomorrow in the morning…for a f….king minor change in a f…..king rubber stamp?  calm..tranquilo…deep breaths…inhale…have a slug of gin…inhale…it’s only a rubber stamp..yeah…THAT’s the problem…amazon et al has the latest uploaded version…Frener will have the flash drive on monday for the august version..i’ll tell him i need it in a week and he’ll deliver in ten days…exactly as planned..(my plan)

and yes, Da Mayor with cane of office and wife did show for the parade yesterday…’gotta give him points(I do)for ‘showing up’…as Woody Allen once said, ‘90% of life is just showing up.’

lastly but not leastly…leastly? spelchuk! Miss 2009 was in the parade and as far as I’m concerned, she’s been the best of the batch for a long time..I saw the contestants at Lex’ and I watched the parade…’scraping the bottom of the beauty barrel, I think.. 

she ‘works’ for me

jeez…has wordpress finally straightened the ‘insert image’ thing? too much to hope for..
