Women Who Behave

This morning has been interesting. I woke up early, like I tend to do after a night of drinking, and had like seven texts. I ignored most of them then went back to sleep. Then about half an hour ago I woke up again and decided to actually get up. While the internet was connecting (RCN sucks so much, the internet in this building is always going out) I grabbed some water and realized one of my suitemates was on the phone with her mom talking about jobs. She's a senior so this is her last semester and everyone is kinda freaking out with the job market.

Then I checked my e-mail and found this message:

Hey,
Put a few bucks in your A/C today. Take a look at this clip and let me know what you think; P5of7P. (and I'm not bribing you...)
Love you,
Dad

So that's cool. My dad was on TV. I didn't realize he'd meant that he was in the clip until the guy introduced him and I yelled "WOAH! It's my dad!"

And now, it's 62 degrees out so I'm going to wear something warm and FLIP FLOPS to the Neil Gaiman reading & signing that is occurring in about an hour.

Happy Solstice everyone! It's now officially summer (or will be at some point this evening, I forget the exact time of it).

Sadly, I was unable to go to the Fremont Solstice Parade this morning. I tried to convince people to come with me yesterday, as I didn't want to drive down and try to find parking all by myself, but nobody wanted to go. I could have gone with my parents too and taken the bus back as they went off to their Ratdog concert, but I didn't wake up in time. Oh well, perhaps next year I'll finally get to go.

Tonight I'm headed to Megan's house to play croquet and help Phatty, Derek and Max keep her company during her parents' BBQ. Then at least Phatty and I are headed to his family friend Donna's house. I've heard about her before (mainly because I'm Pagan and she's Wiccan and this excited Phatty when he found out) and she's hosting a Litha thing, so I'm excited to actually get to do something for the holiday. Then we're picking up Jeff and Tina when they get off work and...I'm not sure what from there. Raising hell? Possibly.

Something else I was thinking about recently: I've been catching some of the Late Night lineups recently, and I have to say...I really don't like Letterman OR Leno much. I'm also not big on Jimmy Kimmel. So the ones I wait up to see are Conan and Craig Ferguson. And even then, it's really only Craig Ferguson who can consistently make me crack up really really hard. Conan has bright moments, and I seem to have more occasion to watch him lately (TMBG playing, Erik impersonating him and getting called out of the audience, Ira Glass being a guest...) but Mr. Ferguson and his accent are the best.

Alan comes on Tuesday. Hopefully the only thing I'll have to do besides goof off around the area is that Ruby's orientation. Oh, right, uh yeah. I might be working at Ruby's in Redmond. Yay 1950s costumes!
