Thursday Things
Last night my new friend Hilary and I were supposed to go to a fashion show at LA Fashion Week. Unfortunately (or fortunately), we are both employed and neither of us would have been able to check in to the show early enough, so we opted for dinner at Birds instead. So much fun! And thanks to Martini Guy, I am a huge fan of their chicken meatloaf and dirty martinis. Mmm.

In job news, the company I work for has been purchased by our largest competitor (pending shareholder approval which should be interesting because it’s already being contested). The good news is that the purchase won’t become official for at least another 4-6 months, by which time I should be able to find a new job.

I’m going up north to visit my friend Sara in a couple of weeks. I am so looking forward to this trip because I need to get out of town big time. Ghirardelli here I come! Other than that, we don’t plan to do any other touristy stuff.

Does anyone know where to get powdered soy milk in LA? I tried Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and another similar market but they all say they used to carry it but that it’s been discontinued. I want to make a vegan version of the candy corn.

In TV news, Heidi ate at Cheebo. The restaurant is walking distance from my apartment (have I walked there? um no); how dare she not say hello?

I had a Jdate Tuesday night at The Village Idiot. Now, as much as I enjoy that place (especially their Pinot Noir), it’s just not conducive to having an actual conversation. It’s entirely too loud. Anyway, he was okay, but talked the entire time and didn’t ask me anything about myself. And, he bragged about producing a certain reality show until I asked if he knew our family friend’s son who was the executive producer on it. Hah. I don’t work in the industry but I can play that stupid game when I need to.

I think I’m addicted to Scrabulous on Facebook. And I almost lost to a fifteen-year-old. I need to expand my vocabulary.

Mazel tov to Randi and Michael on their engagement! Have I mentioned before that they met for the first time at a shindig I organized? I feel a tiny bit responsible.

This week’s question: What is your favorite piece of useless trivia? Mine is “Did you know it’s anatomically impossible to lick your own elbow?”
