Jail!?!
Today was the first day that I ventured out of my bedroom area since Sunday. That is a pretty long time to be confined to one space, but, when you are fevering it goes by rather quickly. It’s upsetting as I had some really fun things to blog about from the weekend and now i have completely forgot the intricacies of them. What really happened to me is blurred with all of the Mad Men and True Blood I watched while drifting in and out of feverish consciousness.
The worst part about the whole thing has been completely losing my voice (other than throwing up blood). Not being able to make 30-34 second internet jingles is really hurting me.
Let me tell you a story from the weekend and then yesterday:
When waiting to go for dinner on the weekend, a conversation went down as such:
Luke: OooOOh! I really hope we can eat on the patio outside.
Matt: Yeah man, I wonder if we could go down and talk to the lady there and see if she could hold one for us.
Luke: Yeah that would be great.
Matt: Yeah, maybe we could get her to do something like put our name in for the spot. Like, get her to write down our name and put our name in for the spot…
Luke: Yeah Matt, that concept already exists. It’s not called “put your name in” it’s called a reservation and it’s very common in restaurants.
Matt: Whatever dude, I call it “put your name in”.
Then it turned into a 3 vs. 1 make-fun-of-matt-fest for the balance of the night as we made fun of him for using the term “put your name in” instead of reservation. A story I loved… until 1950s diction proved Matt correct. Mad Men Episode 02 of Season 2… Final 5 minutes… The term ‘put your name in’ was used instead of reservation and it caused me to enter a near fatal laughing fit.
FYI: the web URL putyournamein.com is still available to buy… thank me later.
