And now for an enormous post that I promise is worth reading sort of
Let me tell you about my night, internets
So I work the closing shift at a Jimmy John's right now, and last night I was closing with a dude named Brannon. He seemed pretty cool, we hit it off well while we were working, talked about gaming and politics and some shit, and he said he thought I was funny (which is kind of new for me? how strange). So at one point like an hour 'til closing, we were talking about how exhausted we were, and I said "Green wizard needs caffeine badly. Also, my robot brain needs beer." He proceeded to give me a very strange look indeed and then asked me if I wanted to get something to eat.
Long story short, he took me to this hilarious place called Café Bella (more on that in a minute) and bought me cheap but delicious eggplant parmesan. We talked for like three hours and now we are going to see a movie on Saturday. He seems really sweet and dorky and fun and he likes most of the same shit I like, so I am pretty pleased with this arrangement. Well, he does have a couple extremely tacky tattoos, but a person can do worse than have bad tattoos.
Anyway, Café Bella. The premise is that there is no menu. They give basic prices for basic meals, like pasta, sandwiches, etc., and then there's something called "shut up your face" which is $8 and is basically where they ask if you have any dietary restrictions and then tell you what you're going to eat. If you are nice it might come with a drink or extra side. They also have a hydroponic garden in the back where they grow herbs and plants and shit that you can buy. If you are ever in the Columbus area, I highly recommend it. The people are nice, the food is great, and it's a fun concept!
Oh, incidentally, I read Nextwave. It was glorious. Do that too.
