	Well, as I've just gotten home from a party, I figure I'll poke my quiet 
little head up and give a chiles report of tonight. :)  Sadly, it's been 
profoundly mild as no-one else around me wanted hot stuff and I've been too 
bleeding sick the past two weeks to cook. :(  In any case...

	Noon to five: Worked.  The Pokemob was persistent today. *shudder*  If 
there were ever an excuse for capsicum to have evolved, it's the people who 
call up every two minutes and slur/mumble so low wecan't understand, "Do 
you, like, sell Pokemon cards?", then take ten minutes asking every 
question feasible about Pokemon when we're understaffed and overbusy-- 
*ahem*  Okay, enough with that little rant... :)  {BTW, the cousin of one 
of our managers makes some sauces that are supposed to be hot enough to 
burn a hole in your hard palate.  I have yet to get a hold of any, but I'm 
trying. :)}

	Five-thirty to eight: Called my Englishman {who doesn't tolerate hot 
stuff, and as curries go can't even take Korma anymore 'cause it tears his 
stomach apart}.  The details are private. ;)

	Eight to around ten-thirty: Called my best friend who was having her 
annual party, munched some of the lone-star caviar my Mom made {not even a 
tingle - I really need to play with the recipe, first change being to 
replace the minced jalapeņo with fresh hab, and the second to up the fresh 
cilantro/coriander}, watched the Animal Planet Y2Croc marathon until I took 
on an Ozzie accent {I recorded the WHOLE thing *grin*}, finally left for 
the party, intending to stay for maybe a couple of hours.

	Four-thirty: Got home from a rather eventful evening, including bartending 
{GOLDSCHLAGER and BLACK VODKA!!!  A shot of equal parts black vodka and 
wildberry schnapps is apparently good, and known now as a Blackberry, btw - 
not hot, but there's no reason you couldn't do it with black chile vodka 
and Goldschlager or Hot Damn and call it a Hellfire}, one person learning 
NOT to mix pickles and liquor and subsequently repainting the bathroom 
*ahem*, once again becoming a Guy Magnet even tho I was flashing my ring to 
anyone who'd look, and not a bit of spice as far as the eye could see.  Ah, 
well.  Gives me an excuse to have my own celebration. ;)

	Anyway, I'm going to go curl up with Monty Python, call England again for 
a few, and get a little sleep as I think about how silly all those people 
who bought generators and bunkers full of food feel now. ;)  At least, 
those who told EVERYONE else to do the same, and bragged about it {I've run 
into a few}.  Did anyone have any problems?  I doubt there were many, no 
nuclear plants suffering a fault in containment or anything {and I KNOW 
northeastern Oklahoma is okay}.  I'll check CNN tomorrow. :)  I'm headed to 
bed now, tho, and possibly to find something with a bit of a kick to 
it.  Night, all!  Happy new year! :)
