so, the party turned into this:
-I showed up, shaved and with my contacts in (for me, this is the height of getting Done Up)
-a really cute girl, who... I have no idea why she was there... went on a thing how she liked guys with glasses and stubble (i shit you not.)
-the paranoid/(there isn't a word for optimistically suspicious) part of me is thinking that... originally this one chick was coming to the party with my friend Dylan, and he told me she liked me, and I said "egh, she's cool and all..." and then said that this second girl was cute, and then she came and the first one didn't?
-the party was really intense for like 2 hours after all those people drank all their beers. then everyone simultaneously felt sick/tired and left.
then we came back here and watched old episodes of The Simpsons. I know this is some kind of cultural blasphemy, but I had never really enjoyed the simpsons at all until tonight. that show is so good. the early ones are so different... nuts.

Today I'm gonna go to work.  And tomorrow, same deal.  Next day? 12 hours.  Then I'm gonna repeat that pattern.  Apparently we can't push a ship date back because marketing has already had things with the date printed.  Thanks marketing!  I'm sure you'll be helping clean up the mess you made instead of having launch parties and going home early.

NOT BITTER

Damn, man, what were you watching during your childhood to miss out?

[theinevitable]

my mom wouldn't let me watch The Simpsons, and I was that one kid in the world who thought there must be a good reason for that and never tried to watch it on the sly.
when I finally did see some episodes, it was generally "oh, hah, I guess that's pretty funny."

I made $50 on the Breeders Cup so far today, 10 minutes till post on the last race. If I hit the daily double its a champagne fiesta.

Edit: Champagne Fiesta with the 5 layer dip, hombre

speaking of partying, didn't you say at one point that you might come to St Louis to interview with Anheuser-Busch? Is that happening?

Today I'm gonna not go to a Halloween party at my sister-in-law's like I planned, because Pedro thought it started at 6 and it didn't start 'til 9:30.  I'd already booked a babysitter (my parents) for 6 - 10 so we went to dinner and watched part of the Raleigh Zombie Walk instead.  Now Pedro's at the party without me.  We figured if only one of us could go, it should be him, since he is able to drink alcohol and he doesn't have a thesis to write.  Also, he likes people. 

For Pete's sake.  How are people with kids supposed to attend a party that doesn't even start until bedtime?  I mean, if she'd been like "I'm having this party but it's OK if you can't come," that would have been one thing.  But she was all, "You HAVE to come to my Halloween party, and you HAVE to dress up, oh by the way no kids."  Apparently when Pedro called to tell her I wouldn't be able to come she was a little upset. 

Sigh.  Someday she'll have kids, I guess.  Maybe by then mine will be old enough that I can have parties she can't come to. 

Bitter?  Me? 

Nah.

Today I went to the beach, discovered I have almost completely lost the ability to body surf and had an sausage from a local charity's sausage sizzle and an icecream with nuts.
Pretty good overall.

Tomorrow I'm going to be unpacking all the stuff from my lab at work that we spent the last week packing. I think this is going to turn out to involve Issues since there isn't nearly as much chemical storage space in the new lab as in the old one.

I just got home from Emma Pollock/New Pornographers. I'm always wired after concerts so it will be a while before I can go to bed.

Tomorrow: The Weakerthans!

Monday: FDA inspection at work!

Oh, man, I saw that ticket while I was in Boston, and it was wicked. I need an Emma Pollock CD like whoa.

Well I hope she grows up quite a bit first.

It's only like $2. What is there to lose?

Well it's about fuckin' time.

Right now I am listening to the New Pornographers DC show here

Maybe you had to be there, but you know, they don't seem all that great live. Which doesn't surprise me, because their music always struck me as being in large part about perfect studio production.

On the bright side, this means I don't feel bad about missing them. (In contrast, I have a list of friends who I will never forgive because no one would go with me to see Bruce Springsteen. So this is a good thing)
