Awkward moment at a girly store

I took my M5 creatine and did my 8th day at the gym.

I finally returned to guitar practice. It seems the office didn't tell Vahik that I was in the Philippines until after a couple of weeks went by with him wondering where I was. He shared that his dad died at 85 years old and his mom at 53. Lots of new material today. I had no idea he knew the rift for Ozzy Osborne's Crazy Train. And now I'm practicing it.

I went to the beauty supply shop afterward, which resulted in the following awkward exchange ...

RYAN: I just need a huge clip to hold my hair while the conditioner sets in so I can multi-task around the house instead of staying in the shower.
CASHIER CHICK: Well, we have this one [shows a leopard skin design].
RYAN: No, black's good.
CASHIER CHICK: Oh, I don't know how fancy you wanna get with it--
RYAN: I'm not planning to go outside with this.
CASHIER CHICK: Blah, blah, blah ...
RYAN: Strictly for in-home purposes.
CASHIER CHICK: Riiight ...
[We do the transaction.]
CASHIER CHICK: Have fun with that, dear.

You know, she's not necessarily ugly. Maybe if I was high intoxicated and on beer goggles, I'd hit it only out of respect for her sass.

I passed through the Halloween store. Some white chick employee kept telling me that her name's Jessica in case I needed any help.

JESSICA: Well, if you need anything else, my name's--
RYAN: --Thanks, Jessica.
JESSICA: (Giddy) Yes!

Adorable. Perhaps I can hit that. She's in my database.

It was actually mommy's idea to eat dinner at Red Robin. Jazz wasn't working, so I suggested eating somewhere else. But for some unknown reason, mommy felt like eating at Red Robin. I tried this Mount Olympus Burger, one of those temporary burgers made by wannabe-chef contest winners. It had spinach artichoke dip in the burger. It was bomb.

I saw Nataly at the Americana. She was sort of my first Martial Arts student. I told her how I saw her pro-wrestler ex-boyfriend Evan Jelik perform over the summer. Jelik, who broke up with her, said that he couldn't be friends with her anymore because she "lived too far." Ha.
