I worked from 8am-5pm today. The Saturday Brunch shift has been a rare one for me to work in the three years plus that I've worked at the restaurant, so I can't say if today was a strange one or not. But it felt like it. There was no one from 8-10:30, then a couple tables came in before 12:30, and then it was steady from about one o'clock until five. What felt like it was going to be a long day without much money turned out to be a long day with about $75. Not terrible, I suppose, and $75 closer to paying my car off and thus $75 closer to quitting the second job. I've decided that's what I'm waiting for, which is pretty much what I've always been waiting for.
I made some tentative plans to get together with some friends in Fells Point tonight, but I was tired when I talked with them, and they didn't call back, which was fine. I guess I felt like just sitting around. I've been pretty wiped out lately. Watching the game without sound in a smoky bar rather than in my relaxing living room wouldn't have been any more fun, especially since I wouldn't have been with other Tigers fans. On Thursday, when the Tigers come to Baltimore for a 4:05 game, I'll be attending with people from the Detroit Tigers Internet Discussion Board, so that should be pretty fun.
In other news, the Tigers followed up their 17-2 victory yesterday against the Orioles with a 2-0 victory today. It's so nice to sit back on the couch and watch the games for a change rather than sit at the computer.
I really want to see Half Nelson, and am tossing around the idea of going to a midnight show tonight at The Charles. However, I might be too tired. I have Inside Man waiting downstairs to be watched, and I've wanted to watch that for a while now and finally got it in the mail today.
Tonight would be a great night to have a girlfriend. However, considering that the last attractive young female teacher at the school that I thought I might have a chance with - after striking out with the several, as they all had significant others - had a diamond ring on, I have come to the conclusion that there really aren't any single women in Baltimore anymore. And you know that first date from a few weeks back? The one that went so well? Uh, there's this, uh, "trip to Alaska" and I'm beginning to think that it was just an excuse.

No single girls in Baltimore anymore? C'mon now. Just because Baltimore is often ranked near last on the city with the "Most Attractive People" scale, we also rank pretty high on the cities "Best For Singles" scale. So we're all unattractive and single... so what? ;)
There are supposedly many more single women in Baltimore than men. Maybe, given 100 of those women, you'd only like one, still one would be enough. Don't give up yet. You could always switch to elementary school. There the only male in the school is often the janitor. And he's usually married, so no competition for you.
