Wow, almost a month since I last posted. Several new things:

I am working 5 of 7 days as a waiter at Mattison's, a restaurant in a prime location that has street parties several times a month in the street in front of the restaurant and a farmer's market every saturday morning in the same place. I work the other two days at a small place called Nature's Way Cafe that would be great if the owner would focus it and respect his employees more. I work nights (I just started, so 3 days a week right now) at Two Senoritas, another small restaurant. I love working at Mattison's because all the customers are friendly and all the coworkers are friendly. I don't like working at Nature's Way, but I'm a sucker for people in need of help, and he desperately needs help. So far I have created an inventory sheet and cleared out the restaurant's attic. I'm still on the fence about Two Senoritas because the employees are cliquish and ignore me a lot and in terms of tables the job is mostly "fend for yourself", and in terms of the work, I am told to do things without having the work explained to me.

All that is on top of dancing, which Lara and I do frequently. We taught Tango at her school last tuesday, and we're teaching again this tuesday. This tuesday also starts choir, finally, so that's a good thing. Next tuesday we'll be teaching Swing I believe. We got to dance on stage at a Hispanic Cultural Month street festival, when the guitarists asked for dancers. She was wearing a great red dress and I all black, button up, red tie. It was great. We also performed Tango as part of the "pre-game" for Ringling's Homecoming this past Saturday. Being computer and art nerds, their Homecoming game was football on the computer, playing against another school. Who cares. We may start teaching dance classes at Nature's Way on Thursday evenings, if we can make it worth our time. We also may perform/teach some basic dance steps for this band that really liked our dancing last night.

I'm also getting a lot of reading done, here and there, losing sleep for books. I recommend Jane Eyre, Lorna Doone, and The Birthday of the World by Ursula K. Le Guin, and Stardust by Neil Gaiman. I highly recommend you avoid The Dreamers series by David and Leigh Eddings. The first was good, the second ok, and the third was unbearably painful, but I was addicted it and finished it anyway.

I'm enjoying it here in Florida, making friends and enjoying going out places. I'm addicted to Tai Iced Tea, though I rarely go out to eat, and when I do, it's rarely Tai. speaking of which, I need to eat and change. I go to my second job in half an hour. Laters.
