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!

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...

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.

I hate watches without numbers. My brain just doesn't work that way.

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.

I ran out of cereal at home, so I'm having a muffin at my desk right now. This usually predicts a late 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.

what is it about Cel-Ray? It's clearly the weirdest soda ever made. But after one sip, it's not weird anymore. It's delish.

Ok, stressful meeting was followed immediately by awesome meeting. My boss called me into her office to offer me work on the side. It's some giant resort-hotel-tourist-trap going up in the Dominican Republic, and Mr. Property Owner needs a website. She's doing the brochures, I'll do the web work. We've been slow lately, so I have the time, and now the permission, to work on this during work hours. This is awesome for two reasons: 1) It looks like fun work. 2) It somewhat eases my anxiety about the possibility that the entire marketing department could be fired tomorrow. Which sounds like paranoia, but you don't know the half of it. So my boss, with a little wink-wink nudge-nudge, intimated to me that if I do good work on this side project, there will be more work to come that is not related to this company at all. I'm so happy I could do a little dance. Maybe I will.
