Wednesday had dinner with khicks to talk more about what exact incarnation the BL system will be in DNC/Kerry world. khicks brought along a reporter from the Chicago Tribune, which made dinner much more interesting. I got to hear first-hand what exactly a reporter’s priorities are when covering a candidate.
Thursday was a hectic day at work, putting together a presentation for the Boss. Got home, watched the Friends finale…I have to disagree with the whole Ross/Rachel getting back together; their respective character developments were really leading them down separate paths. But I guess you have to cater to the hard-core fans.
Friday got dinner with Eily at Woodley Park. Then went to Kyla’s for board games, where we ended up playing Trivial Pursuit: Star Wars edition. Finally, a trivial pursuit I could (and did) win. Met Kyla’s cousin, Shannon, whose fullname I was supposed to put here, but I can’t seem to find the paper she wrote her last name down on (Update:Shannon Hynes). Then we bar hopped…well, I left at the second place–I’m sure other people had more fun during that part of the evening.
Now I’m off to see khicks again, so she can twist my arm about working for her…again.
