I'm working this Valentines day; I'm hoping all the rich lonelies will be out. I remember the club calling me last Valentines day asking if I could work, but I was tired and turned them down. The fact that they called leads me to believe they didn't have a lot of girls, so hopefully that rings true this year.
Generally I find holidays to be pretty good due to low turnout of girls and mostly depressed, lonely customers.
I'm moving again-in less than a month. This time I'll have a roommate, so we'll see how that goes. Hopefully this one is cleaner than the last.
I was in the process of moving when I started this thing, and I have to admit, the last six or so months have been the least eventful of my life. I had no school, very few friends, no projects, and sporadic work. Hopefully things'll be more exciting in the months to come.
School is pretty much a non-entity right now. I'm having a hard time putting in any effort and I just don't care and cannot convince myself otherwise. Luckily I do have a project of sorts in the works, so we'll see where that takes me.

I hate whole foods.
We had 67 girls last Tuesday. Crazy.
I went to Whole Foods today 'cause I haven't been there in a while. I hate Whole Foods, I just had to remind myself why. I found this article on the web that sums up how I feel perfectly. "Whole Foods is a cult. The whole notion of organic foods is cultish. Genetically-engineered foods aren’t more dangerous than organic hybrids, at least not according to almost every reputable scientific organization on the planet (i.e. the NAS and the WHO). And chemical fertilizers aren’t more dangerous than slathering crops with cow dung.
But what’s truly galling is that Whole Foods pretends to be pro-environment, when the opposite is true. By only supporting organic foods with far lower crop yields than typical foods, they ensure that more farmland will be needed to grow food. That means less wilderness and fewer wildlife habitats. Of course, the lefties don’t seem to care much about this — at least not when they’re kvetching about "agribusiness."
The worst part is that Whole Foods wants to get the government involved. They want to require labeling of all non-organic foods, even though it has been consistently shown that genetic-engineering of crops poses no prevailing danger, nor does the use of chemical pesticides. So why do they want this? Presumably to scare folks off from normal supermarkets and into their dung-smothered organic paradise. That’s the kind of low business practices that should scare off any truth and freedom-loving consumer" -Owen Courreges http://lonestartimes.com/2005/03/13/yes-texas-whole-foods-is-a-cult/
Not to mention their prices are ridiculous-especially for their store made stuff. $7.00 for some gummy looking falafel balls? No thanks. Plus, the tangelos that I bought there are horrid; their fancy decor and pretty displays can't fool me.
