Currently I am on the Megabus headed back to Chicago. I spent the last couple of days in BG, and I didn't let a lot of people know. Apologies, I wanted to stay on the downlow, and mostly just hang out with the little lady. I'll be back soon enough.
I am writing now for two reasons. One is that typing stuff allays boredom temporarily. The other is that I wanted the blog to have an entry written while in motion. Technology is fun. So are italics.
Two hours till Chicago. Nice.
Weird, I always manage to look out the window to see the exact same Steak 'N' Shake in Indiana.
Lessee, what to talk about. Oh, I went to Tasty Thai this weekend. I was enjoying my meal when this corpulent lady and her companion walked in. She wore an expression on her face like she just detected a fart. She wondered aloud where she was, and what the hell was going on. It's a restaurant, I thought. There's no way you're not familiar. It was apparent she had never heard of Thai food, or at least she thought the idea of eating Thai food was akin to eating babies. Now, I realize that many people, especially those residing in NW Ohio aren't exactly exposed to wide-ranging epicurean delights, and I'm being fairly elitist, but it has to be insulting to work (wok?) somewhere and have your national cuisine be questioned by hillbillies. She stared at the menu and the accompanying tantalizing pictures for a full five minutes before deciding it wasn't for her. She exited while telling her companion that she'd "never had no...Thai food before", emphasizing the Thai, as it was the first or second time she'd ever said the word aloud.
I just re-read that last paragraph. I'm an asshole.
Shit, the Megabus Wi-fi has cut out. Can't post this yet. Also can't sneakily view pornography.
Zombieland opens Friday. I am excited. This movie has a lot of promise, in my eyes. Woody Harrelson in an action comedy. An action comedy involving dispatching zombies in creative and hilarious ways. Fuck yeah. I feel like I'm being rewarded for being a good little consumer. It's like when they released chocolate-covered Paydays, or when a new Who DVD comes out. Unnecessary, but ruling.
One hour, fifteen minutes to go.

No, that's really what dining in Northwest Ohio is like. It's an unfortunate reality that the people not only have no exposure to non meat and potato food, but they are actually not even interested in trying new things. It's not terribly surprising to me that Stimmel's and Cohen and Cooke both went out of business.
And that's why I can never work there again.
People will accuse you of being an elitist but you wouldn't believe how many arms I had to twist just to get someone to try Indian food or sushi once upon a time.
What's a sushi?
