valentine's recap - because you demanded it
Valentine's Day didn't end up being anything like Sara and I planned, but it was still incredible. We had planned on eating at Tandoor, but when we got there, they were only seating people who had made reservations. Upon hering this from the host, I yelled out "Curses!" and shook my fist in the air. Unfazed but disapointed, we decided to try Miyako's. It was packed. But there were two seats open at the sushi bar, so we saddled up and ordered their finest uncooked fishes and sea weeds. We were expecting only dinner but we got dinner and a show because next to us was this middle aged jackass regaling his date with stories about "this one time at work." Here's a little taste of the game he was spittin':
"I told my guys that we were gonna be like the Beatles and they were all like, "What?" So I explained to them that the Beatles weren't always as good as they are now. You know? They weren't always famous. As a matter of fact, when they first started out they weren't that good at all. So they went to Germany and some other places and practiced and got really good and then when they finally hit the scene they were really good. Not a lot of people know that about the Beatles. They just assume they were always good. And so that's how our department ended up being - we started out not very good - but in a little while we were the best. And it was all because we worked together as a team, like the Beatles."
And he was talking about two decibals above comfortable indoor volume. It was great. At one point he actually said, "I'm wild. You've never met anyone like me." I loved him. He was like Michael Scott in the flesh. I didn't want to leave.
After dinner and the dinner theatre version of The 40 Year Old Douchebag we drove downtown to the Dame and bought our Over The Rhine tickets. Then we scooted back to my place for some open-mouth kissing and Valentine's playlist listening.
I know that might not sound like an "incredible" Valentine's Day but dont' forget to picture it with Sara, then I'm sure you'll see why I use that word.
the difference is, michael scott has perfected that game. jan, despite her instincts, wants him bad.
i don't think the guy at miyako's has that going for him.
i wonder what department he worked for. in my version, he works for the intimates department at JC Penney's. he's right, they're the best!
He was in some kind of electronics. I hate to say that and burst your bubble.
You're right, though. The Intimates department at JC Penney's really stepped in up back in '03 and has been bringing their A game ever since.
his Beatles story is "incredibly" false. if you ever see him and we are together, or you see him on your own, tell him.
Well duh.
