Aug. 11th, 2001 12:38 amWhy can't I lead a normal life???? Work was amusing. First Shannon and I put together the new plotter. HP 800C. If there's such a thing as a sexy plotter, than this is it. Okay, okay. I'm a geek. Anyway, my next task was to go take pictures of the bridge over the Atlantic City Expressway at Exit 33. I pulled over right before the exit, hit the hazard flashers, and walked down the expressway toward the bridge. Yep. I was walking down the shoulder of a busy expressway. Go me! Work after that was pretty uneventful...except for the few minutes when Hillary was trying to set me up with her sister [well, not seriously, just busting my chops for being the right age (significantly younger than the rest of the firm)]. Then they all were going to happy hour at Applebees. Nah. Not that I want to drink, but if you're drinking Sprite when everyone else has something harder, it's just no fun (not that I know, but it makes sense in my warped brain). So I passed. There was thinking that people would meet me at the Ritz for a movie, but that didn't materialize. We flirted with going back out there to see Ghost World, but Sarah and I turned popular opinion against that. So we hung out for a while at Kleino's. Why do we scream so much? Maybe it's because Klein loses himself in conversation, and if we want somebody's attention... Yeah. But did a cool jam with Heather. She played a descending Am-G-F-E bass line (primarily the A-G-F-E) with all sorts of funky stuff in the right, while I jammed at will, primarily in a blues mode with an Eb and G, with the occasional G#. Yeah. I'm still a geek. We ended the night with the world's quickest diner run ever (bout 30 mins) and a wild and raucous discussion? over whether it's better to be male or female. Conclusion: loud voices in small space gives mark headache...luckily the KRAM VAN (my car, for the uninitiated) carries Tylenol (from earlier this week, when I had a headache during work, so I ran to CVS and bought some...duh). And now I'm here.
