It's Valentines Day and a good tip is worth its weight in chocolate
And does anybody else remember that episode of pepper-ann where she gets all anti Valentines day, and starts biting those little heart candies oh-so-ferociously? And now, thinking about it it seems more than a little odd that a girl who was twelve years old would be so obsessed with a day devoted to, well, romance.
I mean, what was I doing on the Valentines day that I was twelve? Probably eating the candies that people gave me and fantasizing about Darroll, who I had a crush on....okay, bad example. But the point remains that there is no twelve year old alive who should be that jaded in the romance department.

On another note, I got my teeth drilled today. My mouth is swollen and I am fantastically hungry. I am avoiding general conversation because when I talk, I look just a little like Jean Chretien. Or maybe Liza Minelli? Either way.

Does anybody actually understand how Judy Garland spawned Liza Minelli?

I have a new favourite customer. This guy - kinda greasy, kinda funny (nerdy, if you will) and one of our regulars (I define regulars as someone who comes in and I can pretty much guess what they will order, and get their drinks before they even have to ask.). I like him, he's nice. Well, one night the tall busboy stopped me and told me that the regular drove the Much Music videodance truck,and that he was REALLY COOL. I figured neat, but seeing as I only watch Much for Newlyweds it wasn't appropriate to bring up. Anyhow. Weeks pass and eventually he comes in. In passing i mentioned a story that told of my love for chocolate - more specifically of the bar variety. He said "Do you like chocolate bars?" I answered something along the lines of "well, duh". He promptly told me to wait while he bounded outside.
He came back with chocolate bars. Six of them. Yes, a chocolate bar company sponsors him. And So i was tipped with SIX FULL-SIZED Oh Henry bars. I promptly told him he was my new favourite customer.

the moral? You want to be my favourite customer? Tip in excessive amounts of chocolate.
