In Between Days
So in between all the hurricane coverage and law school and such I have actually done some stuff! Fun stuff! Just so this blog doesn't become too maudlin, here's a recap:
I hung out with my sister Penny and her roommate Rachel and met Rachel's dog Lucy who is the cutest ever and WILL NOT BE DETERRED from licking your face. Even when she just drug in something unsavory from the apartment complex lawn that we shall never speak of again.
I also met Rachel's shower curtain, whom I like to call "Mademoiselle La Petite Va-va-voom." The pink maribou? The ribbons? Those are REAL, people, REAL!
On Thurday I went to drinks with the inimitable Gloria. We battled the odd, no-discernible-order seating system at Father's Office. Really, you just have to hover in wait for a table. And let me tell you, there is a fine line between polite hovering and VULTURE and this woman, she crossed it:
So of course we photographed her. The only suitable revenge. But the wait for the burgers was worth it, I thought. You can read more about the evening here.
And Friday I met Dagny and her friend Shrew for a thoroughly enjoyable late lunch at Library Alehouse, where topics ranged from cats to deabeat boyfriends to dogs to the hurricane and then back to pets again. We have our priorities straight.
Sunday (we won't talk about Saturday; it consisted only of news coverage and real estate finance, blech) I headed over to Laurie's for the emergency planning session with her and Shannon and Karman. I hadn't seen Laurie in OVER THREE WEEKS which is some kind of tear in the space-time continuum, so I was happy to see she was alive and relatively happy given the fact that her faith in our government to protect its people had been shattered.
Then it was onto the King Tut exhibit at LACMA. Where I reaffirmed my belief that the audio tour, while interesting, totally interferes with a crowd's ability to move normally through an exhibit. And also, when did it get kosher to have an exhibit on ancient artifacts without mentioning the poor schlubs who had to produce them? Still, in general the exhibit was awesome. I came away amazed at so much ingenuity so early in our history.
Phew! And that, aside from two stressful summer job interviews and a buttload of reading, brings us up to date!

Ahhhhhhh I want to meet the dog!!! But I feel like it would be a slobberer. It looks like it just wants to jump all over you and lick you silly.
That lady was wretched. Her smirking at us was most annoying - but haha! We sat before her! And got our food first, because she and her husband didn't know the system. Her husband was a tool too - kept trying to edge me out at the bar while I was trying to order drinks. If he could have shoved me into the wall he would have. I still got our drinks before he could order, though.
Fun times still! Hope the job interviews went well!

Knowledge is power! Obnoxious people who don't figure out the system do not deserve to eat. There shall be no compassion.
Kudos to you for waiting. I get very impatient with places that have lines and/or do not take reservations. And "inimitable" - great adjective.

lucy's eyes look so freaky in that picture!
gloria- she isn't that much of a slobberer, but she definitely likes to lick you, but it all doesn't matter cuz she's the sweetest dog in the world!

Lucy needs to meet Madison, Shrew's sister's dog. Madison doesn't always lick but once she starts, it's hard to stop her. This often happened when I was trying to read my book.
Carolyn, I recommend Library Alehouse. Yummy food. Next time I won't sample 15 different wines the night before so that I can actually partake of the ales.
