Big Drinks, Porn, and the Culinary Arts

Three finals (in three days!) down, one more to go. Also:

1) When I told Gloria that when this was all over on Monday I would need a drink the size of my head, she said, "That's a big drink."

2) One of my favorite things to do when procrastinating is to Google people. This is how I discovered that this woman from my golf class is an adult film star! I tell Gwen this, and Gwen replies, "Shouldn't she be taking a class out at LA Valley College?" Later, I tell Laurie, without telling her Gwen's reaction, and she says, "Oooh, is she from the Valley?"* I love my friends, and I love LA.

3) Another of my favorite procrastination methods is IM. In fact, usually I have to disconnect my computer from the innernets entirely during finals. But this week I've been bad, and this is my conversation with a Fellow Procrastinating Classmate:

FPC: L O S T

me: i haven't been able to watch it for weeks, months
but i am totally watching top chef tonight

FPC: you're that dedicated, huh?

me: i am
it's the next to last one

FPC: i meant about school
but i like that top chef was interpreted

me: ha

Ha. Can't wait for Monday and that drink the size of my (ginormous) head.

*Also, if you are not from LA, never saw Boogie Nights, and have no idea why I think this is so funny, it's because the San Fernando Valley is the porn capital of the US.

I'm happy that I have infiltrated your life to such an extent that you are now using my boozehound vernacular. I always need a drink the size of my head! Once, when Drew was here, we went to Jerry's Deli and I asked for an iced tea the size of my head... the waiter brought me a huge pitcher of iced tea, just for me.

Apparently I have a pitcher-shaped head.

Actually there are two more episodes of Top Chef because the one for this coming week is a reunion show. Wasn't Dave a surprise?

When I had to measure my head for my graduation mortar board, I was blown away by how big it was... but apparently it was only average. Heads are deceptive.

I love that you found a golf class mate in google as a porn star. priceless.
