Say Goodbye to Krispy Kreme

Krispy Kreme in Medford, MA is closing.

Have you been? Lots of people went when it first opened, stood in line for 45 minutes and drove back to NH with 6 dozen donuts or more, ready to share the warm flaky pastry with the uninitiated.

They were such a desired treat that people would set up roadside displays of several boxes of donuts - just like you see people with the buckets of roses on the sides of roads, ready to make a tidy profit from passersby. Lots of people also used them for school fundraisers. They were hot sellers (pardon the pun)!

But now, the store is closing. Apparently there is one in Dedham, so if you really feel the need, you could go there, I suppose.

Have you tasted a Krispy Kreme? I am one of the few who really doesn't think they're that great (I can almost hear the gasps).

I had my first KK in Las Vegas. A jelly filled. Eh. I had dieted and exercised my ass off to look good in Vegas, and I decided to have the KK donut experience. It was SO not worth the calories and sugar. Blech.

Then I heard that the filled donuts weren't nearly as good as the plain glazed. I had been to the KK in Medford, didn't eat any. They had been brought into work, I didn't eat them. It wasn't until this year that someone brought in many dozens to the job I work at now that I tried one. So I ate one. It was good. Not great, I've had better foods than this, certainly. But people were falling over themselves to have another, to pass them to one another. It was a whole experience for them.

I entered my department and some looked at me expectantly, as if to gasp, "Did you try one??!!" I sat down, someone asked if I had one, I said yes. She waited for me to gush and fawn over a donut. I didn't. She told me the real secret to enjoying a KK donut is to heat it in the microwave for 10 seconds. Okay. I started to work. She insisted I try another one heated. The usual lines of defense for refusing food weren't working. She actually got up, went to the break room, heated one up, and brought it to my desk. Can you imagine?

It was still okay. I've made donuts before that frankly, tasted exactly the same way. And I didn't have to drive an hour to have one.

Maybe I'm a New England style donut liker. I read somewhere that New Englanders tend to like cake-like donuts as opposed to KK's yeast risen. And we like a little spice in them. Like nutmeg and cinnamon. If I'm going to have a donut, it'll be a Dunkin' Donut. Jelly or chocolate. And Munchkins! Yum!

I Can't Have Lunch, I'm in Vermont Banging a 45 year old

Merry Christmas, y'all.

I had an interesting one. An old friend sold me out for a 45 year old hooker and cost me a whole day of exercise. Hey, if that's where our friendship is at, that's where it's at. I think at a certain age, we begin to place values on our friendships. For me, I value my old friends the most, simply because they've been around for just about everything, and we've seen each other grow. It's hard for me to throw away what I think are quality friendships.

Of course, there's the matter of outgrowing friends, and that is normal. But I still think of them fondly and don't have any ill will against them.

When I'm sold out for random pussy, I don't think it's a matter of outgrowing a friendship. I think it's disrespectful of my time and puts our relationship in a different light. It makes me wonder: Was I on the holiday rounds list because it was thought I was "potential pussy"? Maybe, or maybe not, and sex is sex, especially if you haven't had any in a while, but as I always say, "Bros Before Hoes". You gotta remember who's been there and who listened to you when you were down and who liked you when no one else did (okay, I made the last one up, but it sure sounded good).

And honestly, no matter how "novel" the idea of 45 year old pussy might be, would you drive over 3 hours to get it? While on a tight time schedule of fitting friends and family over your brief holiday stay? I think someone needs the fleshlight if the "needs" are that out of hand.

I'm disappointed in my "friend". By blowing me off, he showed me what he thinks of our friendship. I thought it was more special than that. We've known each other about 8 years and shared good and some sad times. But in the end, the dick prevailed and a 45 year old stranger from Vermont had my lunch with my friend. So Merry Christmas to you, my old friend, and I hope to God you used a condom. The child you produce could grow up right alongside her very own grandchildren. That would be sweet.

Dick.

Call me if you want to apologize.

The 3 Blondes

A good time was had by all at Chen Yang Li Friday night. You wouldn't really know it, judging by the pic, but we did! We heard the Rusty Cadillacs perform, and our own TSM sang lead vocals on one song. Very exciting!


The band received many compliments from the audience and staff. My new friend Dan (well, he was a friend for an hour or so) said he wished he could yell and yelp like the three blondes. We settled on an enthusiastic, "YEAH!" at the end of each song, which he really liked. He joined us in our cheering and added to the fun.

When we were finally asked to leave around 2 a.m., we went outside to check out Kandi's car. It was an icy night, and Kandi was involved in a car accident on her way to Chen's. The poor car is kind of smashed, to say the least. But she was a trooper and drove on, ready for a night of dancing and hooting and hollering (which she did very well!).

Shawn, Sam, Joey and the drummer (I can't remember his name!) will be playing December 23rd at their home club, Slammers, in Bedford. Check them out!

Updates

We're all very busy preparing for Christmas. I haven't had the time nor the inclination to write an entertaining blog update, but I will share a few highlights:

I'm going to see James Taylor in concert next Tuesday. My mom bought me tickets for a Christmas gift, and we are going with Billy and his mom. Should be a good time.

Speaking of Billy, the "L" word has been uttered and I couldn't be more happy about it!

Bob Foley made us an incredible turkey dinner yesterday at work. I took home close to ten pounds of salad (no exaggeration). The animals at work dove into the turkey, potatoes and pie, so there was a huge amount of green salad left. Yay! All mine!

Pookie has been back in touch, and he reads my blog on occasion, even though I've removed his name from my email update list. Stalker!

The drunk driving car salesman who I briefly dated (and bought my car from) called. If he had called a few months ago when I was dating law boy, it would have been ON. But he sounded sort of like a dirt bag looking for a hook up. You ever Google someone to see what they've been up to lately? Here's what I found on him. During our conversation, I asked him if he was still fishing from that guy's back yard. He said no. Didn't ask me how I knew about it or anything. Hmm... a little lost in the sauce, perhaps?

TSM is performing with his band tonight at the after work hangout, Chen Yang Li in Bow. THAT will be a good time.

I'd like to welcome my mother to the world of home PC ownership with high speed internet. You can view my blog anytime you want now (although I'm not sure if that's the best thing...)!

I'd also like to welcome my dear friend, Jon, home on leave from Aviano Air Force Base in Italy. I can't wait to see you and hear about your latest adventures! By the way, if you're a hot brunette in your mid-late twenties, single and reading this, and want to meet a hilarious, handsome man, leave a comment and I'll hook you up.


I think that's good for now. Hope you all have a happy and healthy Christmas!

Finally - Something for the Girls

Heidi Fleiss is opening an all-male bordello in Nevada. I think $250 an hour is a fair price to treat a man like the whore he is and not to be called again, don't you? Hee hee.
