this is why i'm hot, i mean, old

Went out with my friend K. on Friday night. Here's how it went:

Go to a trendy popular bar that sounds fun. It is mostly fun -- except the top two floors of the three-level bar are closed for private parties, which kind of defeats the purpose. Thus, we have no seats. We have one drink, then decide we would really like to sit down.

Go to another popular three-level bar a block over. In search of seating, end up on top, mostly deserted floor. Have one drink, then go down to the second, more populated floor where we snag a table and order another drink, and think about getting food. It's 8:20, and the waitress informs us a private party (again!) will be kicking us out at 9.

K: "We can eat fast."
Me: "I'd rather have a leisurely dinner."
K: "Yeah, me too."

We finish our drinks and go across the street to the French bistro where we have an expensive and multi-course leisurely meal, which was very nice. And I'm not sure how I could have felt more old.

I did kind of get hit on, but it was by a sloppy drunk guy, so I'm sure he would have hit on anyone with breasts. Anyway. Maybe we'll be more energetic next time.

The next day I met up with girlunravelled in her neighborhood as I am thinking of moving there. (Actually, after our tour, I should change "thinking of" to "planning on.") Then we went back to her place and watched seven episodes of Battlestar Galactica. Heh. I have hooked another one! I am pleased.

Today I was at the supermarket, where I made a startling discovery. Have you guys seen this?


It's a tub of cheesecake filling. No, really, you just pour it into a crust and chill it for a bit and voila, instant cheesecake. And according to these reviews, it's actually good. I cannot decide if this is the most evil thing ever, or the greatest thing ever. I am proud to say I resisted -- BUT FOR HOW LONG?

Fortunately velocityofsound linked to something that is simply unequivocally awesome: Tim Gunn and Christian engaging in a walk-off. As if that wasn't awesome enough, later in the clip Heidi mercilessly tickles a red-faced and laughing Tim. If you are a Runway fan, go watch now!!

nicole_anell linked to this amusing video: Internet Party: When Google's parents leave town. I think MySpace is my favorite.

Also amusing is the fact that Kate Walsh is apparently auctioning off just a bunch of swag shit she had lying around the house. Hilarious.

( Thought spurred by last week's Lost. )

So I don't really like Marion Cotillard anymore.

For you Facebookers, here's an article about Scrabulous and its legal problems. As a fun fact, the article was written by a friend of mine from college.

Obama dances on Ellen. Not ON her...you know what I mean.

If you really want to feel old, check out the Wiki of Obsolete Skills. Here's one I had, barely, and am happy to never have to deal with again.

Watched Larry King Live because Bradley Whitford was on it schilling for Hillary. Had a moment where I wondered, "Who cares what Sean Astin or Fran Drescher has to say about anything?" then remembered why I was watching. Ahem. STILL. Had to FF every time Amy Holmes opened her mouth, though, as I cannot stand that chick. Meh. And Brad looked tired, poor baby. Must be play rehearsals...

And I was happy about tonight's Rock of Love bootee as I find her so unattractive that it's difficult to look at her. Not sure what Bret ever saw in her.... then again, what do any of them see in him? I like Ambre, but should that mean I don't want her to win? Ah, the usual Celebreality dilemma.

ETA: Just took an NBC viewer survey about Psych. Not sure if I should be concerned about that. I gave it high marks, natch. Although they keep asking how important the crime-solving aspects are to me, which, who watches Psych for the crime solving? LOL. And hey, kopernik -- they asked me if I enjoy the romantic tension between Juliet and Lassiter. Hee!
