curmudgeon

i just used "curmudgeon" in a sentence! sweet! it's been one of my favorite words (thanks to W (not the prez)) for the longest time. not because i use it often, but because it such a cool word.
so the reason i used it in a sentence is because i just went to silver skillet (pause for effect)...yeah. the old lady waitresses in there - curmudgeon.

my office is on the other end of the building the silver skillet is in. even with it so close, i don't really frequent it. not my kind of place. i'm not a big fan of diners. they always seem dirty to me. i mean they call them greasy spoons for a reason. i also tend to feel bad - as in "did i just gain 5 lbs?" bad - just walking in one. maybe its all that grease.

i also think southern diners are worse than anywhere else. biscuits and gravy and grits are a southern diner staple. let's not forget southern BBQ joints. S used to work at Dusty's on Briarcliff. I used to take him to and from work all the time and he'd often invite me to eat - probably because he felt bad for USING ME FOR ALL THOSE RIDES. anyway. the food at dusty's is really bad. S really liked it. but its desert dry. i like my BBQ saucier. even if i could get over the cafeteria food, the place had such bad lighting and all the waitstaff (except my illustrious ex who likely was in shape due to all the fucking of other women he did) looked like they were breathing heavy walking up and down the table rows. gross.

but this morning i was STARVING and since L told me i was killing my metabolism by holding off until lunch to eat, i've really been making an effort to eat something (piece of fruit or yogurt) before i eat lunch. however, the more i work out, the hungrier i get - so a piece of fruit and yogurt no longer cuts it. yesterday i had a bowl of the tofu chili i made the previous night for breakast.

i tried to stop myself from going the breakfast sandwich route, but i couldn't help it. i just ate one and i'm STILL hungry :( why why WHYYYY?
