Well I'm certainly making the most of my time in LA by going out in the evening and sleeping in till past midday each day (today it was 3pm) I'm going to have to work out the formula for drinkxhoursxdancingxeating = hours of sleep. Although last night I got in at 5am after going to Dennys with a bunch of people I'd just met. After having stuff thrown at me (bits of paper) I quickly devised a game for them - 10 points for hitting my nose, 5 points for an eye and one point for face shot. I also added 50 point for hitting my Little Jeremy and coincidentally I got hit there right away. I then introduced a 100 point bonus if they came to pick it up where it had landed (they only scored 50 btw).
I've been to a lot of places to eat here with tons of things on the menu. I always have trouble deciding so I just have a burger. The other week after having a hot dog I was given the cheque. After receiving my change. I decided not to put the 'tip' back in the booklet as some of it was in change and I thought it would drop out when she picked it back up. So I had the rest of my tea whilst the the waitress came along and picked up the booklet thing. She opened it and the waitress suddenly turned red in the face and I could see my tea shaking.
'Do you not tip' she shouted at me. At this point I went all of a quiver. In my quiet timid voice I said yes and pointed to the tip i'd left on the table. At this point I should have taken it back in my pocket and said 'you've just null and voided that tip lady' and walked out.
The other tip mistake I made was when I gave a 50% tip on a meal as I thought i'd given the correct amount in cash only to discover when I got home that one of my twenty dollar notes was missing. No wonder he seemed so please as to my tip and I looked at him strangly thinking 'weirdo it was only 3 dollars'.
I also went to a cafe for dinner the other night. In that instance I had the dilema of where to sit. I was alone so did I want to sit on the two chair table by the window so everyone passing would see me with my meal for one and think 'poor little lonely man' No! I course I didn't want to take that table so instead I took the FOUR seated table. As soon as I received my tea and started I started to think - why did I sit here. If a party of 3 or 4 people come in they are going to want this table and I'm hoggin it. Also i'm making myself look more lonely like I'm expecting 3 friends to show up and they haven't. I thought about moving all my objects on my table over to the 2 seater table but thought this again would look weird to everyone else in the cafe. But alas in the end the other tables finished their meals and after that I was the ONLY person in the whole cafe - which also made me look lonley but also that i'd chosen a shit cafe to eat in.
