Rushed out the door so late, I ended up taking Uber. Even that didn't arrive for 9 minutes, and I was still late. Ironically, it only took 4 minutes for the car going home to arrive. No trouble either way.
Work wasn't a problem, either. It was steady, but it's the end of the month, and we're between holidays. Most people are likely waiting for next weekend and the 4th of July to go shopping. Plus, while the weather wasn't killer hot like last week, it was still sunny, warm, and humid. Swept and pushed carts with no trouble whatsoever.
When I got home, I had changed and settled down while watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. "Daisy's Pony Tail" grows to Rapunzel lengths when Goofy accidentally douses her with Professor Ludwig Von Drake's growth formula. Mickey and Goofy first have to join her in finding Witch Pete's tower, then get him to give up the Rapunzel Flowers that will shrink her hair back to normal.
Went back out after the cartoon ended. Humid though it was, it still wasn't a bad day. I felt like a treat. Got a cappuccino milkshake at La Morense Plus. I drank it, but it was kind of strong for coffee ice cream. Don't know if I'll do that again. Stopped at Family Dollar for a Diet Dr. Pepper...and regretted it. I saw a massive bug on the floor, and the customers were noisy and annoying.
Put on Muppets Most Wanted after I got in. I go further into this crime caper sequel to The Muppets at my Musical Dreams Movie Reviews blog.
Worked on Hilary and the Beasts while the movie was on. The three women settle in for the night, with Betty and Maple wondering where they saw the eyes on the Eagle and Bear before. Betty and Hilary point out that there is something seriously wrong here. Not only do animals not normally talk, but Betty insists that she doesn't think Bear is a bear or a simpleton. Something has shattered his mind.
Hilary calls C.J at the Nixon Theater in Pittsburgh to see what he's found out. C.J found out something, all right. Not only is Pavla Nemcova there and taking Hilary's old "Rivals" role, but despite Pavla's claim that Jeff loves her, Jeff is not there. He, Scott, Victor, and Mr. Foley are missing. Pavla says they're in Europe, but he thinks she's lying. He's also going to get Doug Thompson to find out who actually owns the mansion, because it's probably not a troll.
Finished the night at YouTube with today's Match Game marathon. About two years ago, the owner of Match Game Productions interviewed former Match Game and Price Is Right producer Roger Dobowitz. In addition to hearing his wonderful stories about all the crazy things that happened on those shows, we got to see some of his most memorable appearances on Match Game. Poor Roger tended to get picked on quite a bit, whether it was due to his bad spelling (he once put down "parachute" as "pair of shoes") or just because he was there. As resident cute nerd, he tended to come in for a lot of jokes to that effect, like the time Richard and Gene grabbed him and pulled up his t-shirt. There was also the time he got teased about his love of roller coasters, and the time he somehow managed to get a streak of black ink over his eye.
