Not Economically Viable

At the time of this writing (11/26/06 2:30am), I, Dizzle, am unemployed. I did not get fired, I knew this was coming.

I had a lovely night at work, because not only was it dead (steady enough to make a little money, but nothing major), but Kevin and Keith came and kept me company the WHOLE SHIFT. It was really great. They're a pair of brothers whose mom is very close with (and has been for years) my mother. So it was nice to briefly reconnect in Washington before we leave for NZ and Keith heads out for France.

We're going to miss so many people.

G'Night.







Keith & Kevin

(Upside-down exclamation point)Hola!

Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!

I've decided only to post a picture of our Thanksgiving breakfast. Don't get me wrong, we had a TON a food (and a ton of leftovers!), but as far as what we actually PLANNED OUT and thought of, check this out:



THANKSGIVING BREAKFAST IN WASHINGTON, DC FOR BABY G & DIZZLE:
~Bagels; Everything bagels from Bergen County, NJ (Rte. 17)
~OJ; Pulp-Free. Tropicana.
~Coffee; French Vanilla from Dunkin' Donuts. Anyone who knows good coffee always digs Dunkin' Donuts java. It really is surprisingly great.
~Cream Cheese; Veggie. From Einstein Bagels in Georgetown.

Right? :)

For those who don't know...

This is a view from our apartment here in Washington.




So is this.





This is the inside of our place. Pretty bare now, but picture it full of fun things!

Just practicing with the camera.

Later.

We got a camera!

Test.




I need a shave.
Thanks again, Rev. J and the Divine Momma, for such a phat Christmas gift. This'll help a ton.

Hello!

Hi! Dizzle here.

Thanks for visiting...and welcome to all the new people. As I've said, we'll be throwing a number of pictures on here, as well as anecdotes and stuff, but since neither G nor I are very computer savvy, we wanted to get this started right away.

So she's at work, and I just got back, and I only have 7 more shifts before I'm unemployed. Huzzah!

Hope everyone's well. Drop me a line.

Peace,
DZ

Buckle up, Sport.

Wondertwins, Unite! Form off... Toledo!

Yo.

Baby G and worked together at the restaurant last night in some crazy scheduling fluke that will likely never happen again. The guy who usually serves on Wednesdays, the night I barback, wanted to go to an AFI concert at the 9:30 Club, so he swapped serving shifts with Baby G for Thursday. So, it's Thursday, and we both have the evening off after technically spending the whole evening together at work LAST night.

But we made it, and it was more fun than you'd've thought.

Whee!

~DZZ

Cash moves everything around us.

Picked up tomorrow's day shift.

Baby G just called and told me she's frustrated at work.

Just another day trying to make ends meet... from a hemisphere away.

Sorry, not trying to bitch, just a little weary.

I'll go.

Peace.

Diz

Just testing.

Just so you know, the times on all the posts below are totally inaccurate. Sorry. See, we haven't even left yet and we're already confused about time zones. :)

Sunday Morning Music

We changed our clocks back last night and so now I'm awake and thinking about getting donuts for me and my lady. It seems people wait intentionally to better things until I'm no longer a part of them. A few examples:

They got a brand new theatre facility at Warwick Valley High School plus 20 or so classrooms to ease overcrowding in 1999. I graduated in '97.

AU couldn't handle all of it's students, so it bought a set of condos on Westbard Ave. in Bethesda and started running a free shuttle every 15 minutes from there to main campus. Two years before, I was living on Westbard Ave and waiting for a Maryland "RideOn" bus to take me to the Friendship Heights Metro so I could take the train to Tenleytown and then hop the shuttle to main campus. It used to be an hour commute to go 2 miles (once spring hit, I did start walking it).

Speaking of AU and theatres, we graduated in '02. State-of-the-art facility on Wisconsin Ave. grand opening: 2003.

"Don't worry, we're renovating, you'll LOVE it when it's done...it'll fix all of these complaints and inconveniences." Place: DC Improv Comedy Club. Time: 8/02 - 5/06. Renovations actually START: 8/06.

So I'm usually right on the cusp of these things. Baby G would say "Yes, Dear, you're into stuff before anyone else discovers it and you make it so popular that people need to renovate or expand, but by that point you've moved onto something else." She get sarcastic. My sister, YaYa, would say, "It's not all about you, Princess."

You know what I say? If they open a White Castle restaurant anywhere in the vicinity of NorthWest Washington DC between January and June of '07, I'm hiring myself out as an unlucky psychic. It won't be a successful business until right after I leave, however.

The point is: They opened a Dunkin' Donuts on 17th Street last month, and that's where I'm going this morning to get my lady breakfast and go through more crap. I swear to God, our apartment is in BOXES right now. Maybe I'll go build a fort. Nah, no fort...somebody'd go and make it way cooler right after I left it.

Have a good day,
Dizzle
