Not Being Chris Goran
In keeping with the Phi Alpha Delta tradition of having more resignations annually than there are officers, and so as not to pull a Chris Goran, I have resigned from my PAD position, effective this Friday Thursday.
For Thanksgiving Kristy and I, and her flatmate Becca, went to Kristy's place in Pleasanton. Her mom makes awesome stuffing.
There we actually went and saw a movie in a theatre. Unfortunately all the movies we'd really wanted to see were no longer showing so we saw Jarhead.
Speaking of movies, every time someone refers to Sin City, which happens suprisingly frequently, I think they're saying "Sim City." And I think, "Sim City?" what kind of movie is THAT? I imagine, like the game, it starts out all good and fun but after awhile the characters begin to feel a lack of purpose and grow bored.
We hung out briefly with Kristy's ex, Randy, and their friends from HS. It was suprisingly pleasant. I think they all overcompensated in their efforts not to make me feel awkward, for example there wasn't a single reference to my mohawk. Wtf. These certainly aren't people who see mohawks every day. Furthermore, Randy is totally the lol-cow of his friends -- even after numerous years, making fun of Randy is still a favourite activity of theirs. I mean, how can you resist when he's wearing silly little Steve Madden leather shoes.
In other news, my friend Kris is currently working for the United Nations in Niarobi, Kenya. Like a good little UN employee, she is blogging. Having perused her blog the other day I found this picture particularly amusing. Chile donated a giant statue of an index finger to Kenya?! I wonder who got the middle finger.
My friend Marianna is currently working for the United Nations in New York. I asked her to tell me all the juicy gossip but she said "I can't -- I'm probably being bugged." Its kind of scary when someone says that in a serious manner.

I respond via livejournal with nine points and ten subpoints as to why the Chairperson is a blithering idiot. That thing is some good reading.
