So, my weekend is looking good after I had a relatively subpar week. And who knows, maybe ESL classes tomorrow will prove to be the cure for a mediocre showing during the regular season.

Speaking of ESL, Carmina asked me if I "hang out at William Sonoma". Man. If she weren't 3 feet shorter than me, and 800kms away from me, I might have made some SERIOUS fun of her. I don't deny that I may have perused a William Sonoma on more than one separate occasion. However, I've never "hung out" at one of their establishments, and I have no intention of doing so. I can just picture it now:

Lady: "Um, excuse me, do you know where I can find a 17" teflon spring-form pan?"

Me: "Sorry, I don't work here, I'm just chillin'."

Lady: "Oh, I'm sorry to have bothered you. It's just that you look so homely and domestic."

Me: "I get that alot. Do you come around here often?"

Lady: (blushing) "Um, ya." (she looks down at the floor with an embarrassed smile)

Me: (lift her face up by putting my hand under her chin, gently) "I thought I recognized that angelic face from the Kitchen-Aid section"

Lady: (giggles) "Ya, I'm SO into plastics and stainless steel. How about you?"

Me: (looking suave and svelt) "Me? Nah. I'm more into you."

Music swells, we draw closer, fade to end scene. Exeunt.
