Sorry we couldn't make it. We are at the library again. This blows.

Hey, don't worry about it! Thanksyouverymuch to those who did attend!! Everyone was pleased with the turnout and I think the screening went well. I was spazzy with pride.

We ate breakfast at Uncommon Ground. It was tasty, but holy shit that place is expensive. Everything is at least 11 or 12 dollars. Add drinks and that is like buying a moderately expensive dinner.

EEK! Operation Fire the GM has hit an ugly snag. Apparently they want to fire both her and the director of operations at the same time but they can't do that for 2 more weeks for whatever reason. Tonight the GM was there still and she ambushed me, asking "When do you think I'll get fired?"
I simply denied any knowledge and avoided her the rest of the night. After she got off work she sat down at the bar with a bottle of wine for herself.
Eek.

How long have these fabulous features been a part of googlemaps?

Have you guys been to the Dawghaus, right on the lake, at Granville and Sheridan? It's basically a Park District concession stand -- sandwiches, ice cream, pop -- with shaded tables right on the lake. Beautiful today.

I don't know why, but I just made jello shots.
― Jeff, Sunday, 26 August 2007 22:17 (seventeen years ago) link
I'll probably "eat" them.
― Jeff, Sunday, 26 August 2007 22:18 (seventeen years ago) link
As a kid, did you ever make jello and then drove yourself batshit crazy waiting the 4 hours for it to set? You give in at about 2.5 hours and just eat a semisolid jello soup.
If anyone wants to grab a beer on Sunday, We'll be at The Smoke Daddy (http://www.thesmokedaddy.com/) from 7ish maybe a bit earlier.
is anyone going to this?! i presume ed is, but we seem to have lost touch with him...

I had planned on having Saturday off, but I got roped into working, so I treated myself to a real grown-up watch! It's a Skagen, and I got 20% off at Macy's. (If I had remembered to boycott Macy's I would have gotten it at Nordstrom or somewhere--oops.)

It's beautiful and, unexpectedly, extremely comfortable.

well done!
― kenan, Sunday, 26 August 2007 23:59 (seventeen years ago) link
I want a watch. What keeps from getting one is that I don't miss not having one. Maybe there's a whole new world opened up to me if I always know exactly what time it is via my wrist. I already know what time it is, though. So it's just a fashion accessory that makes me look more grown up. Which is not a bad thing at all! Maybe with a watch on my wrist, I will be more promotable.

ok, just heard from ed, he's planning on being at smoke daddy's from 7 and staying all night. we'll be riding down there in a little bit...

I'm going housesitting with Eric to watch HBO. Good, mellow times.

Mellow like Risky Business, bro. Give a call, you guys, if you'd like to join in Edgewater.

Are you implying that you're starting a brothel in your friend's house?

Hey! I want to go watch Risky Business on HBO with Kenan and Eric!
I don't miss wearing a watch (watch your double-negatives, Kenan), but over the past...year or so I have been working on building a proper wardrobe with classics and essentials. I have a chunky stainless steel Guess watch (cheap) somewhere, but this is more of a dress watch.
― Jesse, Monday, 27 August 2007 00:34 (seventeen years ago) link
I hate watches without numbers. My brain just doesn't work that way.

You need a digital.

I love my watch.

Big beautiful numbers.
I like that too. I like really simple, plain, minimal, though, so the 13-24 are somewhat too much for me.
It's odd, I didn't even notice that the one I bought only had 2 numerals on the face.

I would've like to have met Ed last night, but I had dinner at my mom's house, and by the time I got back to the city, all I had time to do was clean the apartment.

I have to use the Forbes site for my work fairly frequently. When you first go on to their site, there's an introduction page with a "quote of the day" on top. Usually, it's something from Abraham Lincoln or The Art of War or something of that ilk. Today's quote is "People who can read, and don't, are dumb." The quote's originator? Malcolm Forbes.

We went and met Ed, hung out for a tiny bit. He gave us ILX comp cds but I'm not sure where they are. Hopefully Sarah stuck them in her purse.

Someone talk to me. I have no motivation to do any work today. I'm tired and out of it.

I just had an hour long meeting and got about 20 hours of work dumped on me because of it, almost all of it boring and dry and administrative. I hate meetings.

Fuck everything, I'm having ribs for lunch.

I made a grilled cheese sandwich with mustard and fake ham before I left the house today. However, I have no effective way to warm it up here at work, only a microwave, which would make it soggy, so I will probably have to eat it room-temperature.
I made a bitchin' white pizza on Friday. I roasted a head of garlic and put that whole thing on there.
