Cool! Thanks Johnny! I wasn't fishing for an invite though. Tell ya what, I'll make some homemade pizza marinara sauce for you; I once spent an entire year tinkering with the recipie to get it perfect. Food trade!
*at Jim's Coffee Shop*
Rhonda: *slurps her double moccaccino latte with a double shot of vanilla, trying to stay awake* Uh huh...sounds good...
Good?? Underage slave workers being exposed to chemically treated fiberglass in the process of making fake baby roses with drops of fake dew sounds GOOD? *scowl* Are you even listening?
Rhonda: Truthfully?
Please.
Rhonda: No.
Figures... No one ever seems interested in my ideas.
Rhonda: Ah, buck up, Cyrano. You got it made!
Er...I do?
Rhonda: Sure ya do. Ya got a great job reading the news every night locally...okay, so it's not New York, but at least it's exposure, right?
Are you talking about that weather report of the cold front moving in last night? *shivers* I'm going to start bringing my overcoat into the studio...
Rhonda: No, Goldie. I mean...you're practically a veteran anchor now. And still working, while the stations usually farm out the older guys in favor of newer, fresher, younger talent more hip to the target advertising audience.
Ah. Right. I feel so much better now.
Rhonda *pats his back* There ya go! Hey,
garcon! A slice of the raspberry cheesecake over here! Wait, make it two!
Thanks, Rhonda, but cheesecake doesn't solve anything.
Rhonda: Oh -- did you want one too? Three slices!
