Misc. End of Work Week Post

Today was good because I met one of the co-founders of Facebook (Chris Hughes), ate yummy pizza (artichoke and chevre on one, red peppers, feta, olives, and pesto on another), and ordered a new MacBook. Chris arrived at our office when I was filling in for the receptionist and had my work laptop up at the desk and was on Facebook. I'm pretty sure he saw. I'm pretty sure that happens a lot. Like every time he goes to any public place with wireless.

Forecast says my next definite good day will be next Friday because my computer will arrive and so will my friend Kat! She is moving here and will be staying with me until we leave for Christmas and will return in January with an apartment of her own. I am excited to have this lovely lady back in my life.

I am contemplating going to a "pub night" after work. These happen every Friday, and I have not yet gone, but I don't think I will today. Only one member of my work "crew" is going. My work crew is loosely defined, by me, as the people who tea (yep, it's a verb, like "lunch") together every day at 3 and send each other funny emails.

I have a lot of reading to do in the coming weeks as I am now in two book clubs. One is with my roommate and her former roommate's twin sister and a bunch of her friends and oddly one good friend of one of my friends from high school who lives here, too. For that club, we are reading the Omnivore's Dilemma. My other book club is with my coworker and we are reading a secret book that we will discuss weekly over salads at this place she introduced me to this week called Ponte Fresco. Best salad I have had in a long time. Damn good.

I am listening to Daniel Johnston radio on Pandora which I hadn't listened to since summer 2007 when I listened to it a lot. I watched the Devil and Daniel Johnston the other night because my mom sent me the DVD, so that inspired this revisit. I had listened to him since then, just not this Pandora channel. I can't decide whose version of "True Love Will Find You in The End" I like best.

This is a boring post, but it, along with lots of water drinking, managed to kill my remaining minutes of work. My apologies. But thanks!
