enough steak already

finally back from austin.

all i can say is that i’m really fucking tired of steak. you can get vegetables on the side, but they’re usually creamed or blanched flavorless. there’s always the salad, which is inevitably a quarter of an iceberg lettuce drenched with blue cheese dressing. as an alternative, i ordered a tomato salad one night, which was a beefsteak tomato sliced… drenched with blue cheese dressing. yum! i do have to admit that the steaks were on the whole damn good. there was one boneless cajun ribeye which was pretty fantastic. although there was another ribeye marinated in jim beam, which was a little questionable.

and we won’t talk about the local hooter’s-type franchise that featured bbq served up by skinny scantily-clad waitresses with shirts zipped down to here. did i mention that it was called bone daddy’s?

and we certainly won’t talk about that strip club whose motto may have been “home of the short and squat”. sure, it was a tuesday, but come on. there are standards, people!

all in all, it was a good business trip, but i’m glad to be back. i went over to w’s today and had a nice raw food salad, which was a yummy change.

the job ended up taking an extra day, but that was pretty much out of our hands. on the down side, the extra day meant that i got home exactly two hours too late to not get a street cleaning ticket on my car. i suppose it was worth it, as the president of the company called me to congratulate me on a job well done. i guess that’s a better impression than him remembering sitting next to me at president’s club last year and watching me fumbling with my bacon which i was too nervous to eat with my hands, right?

now i can go back to sleep.
