When I walked in, Ari was helping T sweep up the carnage left from last night.    T was picking up the mess behind the bar & I could see dried up crap all over the tables, so I started wiping them down.   We’re used to the place looking & smelling like shit every Sunday.   It’s not the Saturday night help; it’s the Saturday night afterparty.   There’s no one to clean up for the afterparty & God knows it’s not going to be them.

T went to one of the restrooms to find that he had a bunch of dried up puke to clean up.   Does he ever have the shitty job some days.

Two blondes walk into a bar.

They sit down in front of the well & the 1st blonde asks the bartender, “So, do you guys have karaoke tonight?”

The bartender says, “Yes we do.   Do you want to see a book?”

And you thought it was going to be a joke of some kind.

What’s A Girl To Do?

MTV has recently starting showing videos again.  What a novel concept for a station called Music Television!  I think it might catch on.  Anyway, they air videos during a program called MTV AM.  In the past, MTV would play only a part of a video and jump to the next one.  Approximately 2:30 seconds — enough for the opening verse and chorus to play, thus reaffirming that most listeners have the attention span of gerbils.  But I digress.  The cool thing about MTV AM is that they play older videos in their regular rotation.  So they’ll go from playing the latest Britney Spears song and go into People Are People by Depeche Mode.  Cool stuff all together.  They also end up playing interesting videos from the past, like Weapon Of Choice by Fatboy Slim and It’s Oh So Quiet by Bjork. 

And sometimes they play videos that creep people out when they watch it all alone in a dark room.  This is one such occasion.  Here is What’s A Girl To Do by brittish songstress Bat For Lashes.  Just be sure to turn a light on before you hit play.

I had a room full of singers & nobody singing.

I got into the bar around 8pm as usual.   As usual, it started off quite slowly, which is actually just fine for me, since 1) I have this need to organize/clean everything just so or else I can’t function properly, & 2) it gives me some quality time with T, who isn’t just my boss but my very good friend.   We talk about bar stuff.   Stuff you guys would probably find extremely boring, but we find endlessly interesting.
