Busy Wednesday

so busy, I haven't gotten the chance to blog it until Thursday night!

The only good part of work was the fact that I finally have an end-date. Got to enjoy Mr. Toad's Wild Bus ride in the morning, but since I cut out a little early, the ride back was quick and uneventful.

Since I am "housesitting" my house, I get to park my car in the lot. Barely had a chance to check the mail before I walked down to Clarke's for the COP meeting. Past by DZ by the Greenhouse. Snagged a booth in a fairly quiet Clarke's. The other interns arrived, and we got a very helpful lesson in mercantile options and futures, boiling down to "Where's the Beef?" I'm sure I could have absorbed some idea to make me millions if I wasn't distracted by the image of a trailer backing 22 tons of cow into my back yard, and me with a dinky hibachi. Made some serious progress on our workshop ideas. And then we consumed food and discussed politics (Kucinich is a nutter, but we love 'em; Obama is the Man; Morality vs. Law)

I love Clarke's. The diner food is yummy and always hits the spot. It's open 24-7, serves alcohol. I can always get in. And I tend to have the most interesting, intelligent conversations there.

I was so absorbed in the discussion, I ended up running late for Trivia Nite. Booked it down Fullerton to meet Kallisti for an abbreviated Trivia Nite (only 8 questions per round). But we got a little slammed, since the questions skewed British. But at least the questions weren't answers for old questions like last week.

After Trivia Nite, Kallisti and I headed across town to hear a friend's most rockin' group - Team Band. They are alot of fun, alot of loud, and terribly witty. Like Cake only closer. Sadly, they pulled the last slot on a Wednesday, so there weren't many people to appreciate the wonder that is.

Finished the evening with some of Ben & Jerry's new flavor - Creme Brulee. Which is AMAZING! It tastes like creme brulee! And it's sweet and fun and quite nearly a religious experience. I recommend all Wednesdays run like this one!
