emmmmmmy's

i had dinner at my favorite resturant last night, emmy’s spaghetti shack.

i like it for several reasons:

1. the best spaghetti and meatballs in the world.
2. all the waitresses are beautiful and adorable.
3. it’s one of the few places i dont mind eating alone.
4. (see #2)

while i usually get the spaghetti & meatballs, yesterday i opted for the special, a braised lamb shank. because lord knows i love a good lamb. and that was a good lamb.

i sat in a booth because they weren’t busy at all, and just read while waiting for my food. and they scolded me for reading in the dark and brought me another candle for extra light. did i mention how i love the waitresses?

in the booth behind me, two guys were talking about some dating situation and this and that, and i was wishing that i had brought my ipod to drown them out. or a white noise generator. or maybe a industrial size fan.

but then i overheard them talking about the warriors, and how those huge contracts awarded to jrich and troy murphy were going to be an albatross like donyell marshell’s contract was a few years ago. which made me laugh out loud, because i had used those exact same words to someone at work earlier today.

albatross.

the guy at work was upset that the warriors were already 0-3, but he was really frustrated at the fact that the system was already falling apart, the new coach was changing his system because the players weren’t right for it, and that with huge deals to these mediocre players, this is the situation that they’re going to be in for years down the road. they’re not just sucking now, but they’re going to suck for the foreseeable future. he was outraged that this big mistake of signing the wrong personnel will screw us down the line.

“sort of how i feel about the election”, i said.
