Helen

I started my morning with some cardio at the gym. And FINALLY, since I've been waiting until after my dad's 40th day death anniversary (since it's believed that one wanders the earth for 40 days before ascending to Heaven and since I didn't want my dad's ghost watching me bust a #3) with the only exception of busting a #3 to Sam on the plane ride coming back (see entry 9/28/10), I busted a #3 to that random chick Karen from Rubio's (10/14/10), that blond from the LSAT seminar(10/14/10), that Halloween employee Jessica (10/15/10), and that stripper Sandra (10/8/10).

I went to an extra guitar practice to make up for the time that I lost while I was overseas for dad's funeral. Vahik had bought me an extra coffee from McDonald's. For the first time, I started playing the harmony of previous songs at higher octaves. It was difficult and that's when Vahik, in his broken English, made it known he thought of me as his sidekick ...

VAHIK: I know it's hard because you lost something and you're my sidekick blah blah blah ...

Actually, it was hard because it's new. But I thought it was funny that 1) he thought of me as his sidekick and 2) his English is broken despite having lived in England for some time. He even offered me $2 when I went overtime (only the first 90 minutes being free in the parking lot). Man, he gives great condolences. Good thing too as the parking attendant's machines were down and had to do everything manually, causing traffic in the parking lot.

I went to the Halloween store and surprisingly saw my old co-worker, Helen, from Mann Theatre back in 2005. Rewind: When our chief of staff, Nancy (who was a jackoffable geek chick), first introduced me to Helen, instead of shaking my hand Helen saw my "Papas & Beer" wrist tags from Rosarito, Mexico and jealously told me, "I hate you." But she was jackoffable and she even had a crush on me! Just too bad someone knocked her up that same year. Present day: Helen's bastard daughter is big now, but sadly Helen is no longer jackoffable. I can't even bust a #3 to her like I used to. Motherhood must've sucked for her.

After studying for the next LSAT at Barnes & Noble, I came home for some WWE RAW. And this segment with Bryan Danielson (who headed a pro-wrestling tryout that Matt and I failed miserably at back in 2004) was epic ...
