Cosmic Muffin – I had an Art History teacher in college who tried very very hard to be PC, and not use the term “God”. (This might sound odd in an Art History teacher, but this was also the guy that would tell us stories he’d heard from “a friend” regarding the practices of peyote ingestion. I often accomplished a lot of pre-Calc homework in these classes.) His overly careful terminology was to say, “God, Allah, Yahweh, the Cosmic Muffin or whatever you want to call it”. As such, when ZenMistressE & I began debating Life, the Universe & Everything, I used the term Cosmic Muffin to refer to The Powers that Be, and it sort of stuck.
What kind of muffin is a Cosmic Muffin? ZenMistressE insists blueberry, but personally I prefer chocolate chip.
nom-nom-nom – the sound small children and monsters make when they eat. No, seriously, listen to a little kid sometime, it sounds just like that.
<Doll gig: My first (and most beloved) job as a valet is working for a company called Valet of the Dolls, and all-girl valet co. that specializes in private events, which means that we go to a lot of people’s houses. (Yes, in California, people will order valet parking for parties at thier house. Yes. Really.) We do a lot of high end stuff, celebrity parties, etc. Mind you, this does not mean that I spend time hobnobbing with celebrities – it just means that I’ve been to their houses and used a lot of their bathrooms.
<Prem!Co: A 2nd valet co that I work for – I usually pick up 2 or 3 shifts a week from them for weeknight or Sunday during the day parties. It’s mostly guys, and while the money’s welcome & I get to choose my own shifts, I still less-than-three my Dolls better.
<SpiffV!Hotel. A name riffed off the first hotel that I worked at Spiffy!Hotel, this one is over in Santa Monica on the ocean. I spend my Friday & Saturday nights there – it’s set hours & steady work, even if the tips are pretty much… pants. But the guys are fairly nice, and if I stay there long enough, I’ll probably be pretty fluent in my Spanish.
