And More...
Entry below has been added to...
So I have been lax...I should have told you about:
1. The SCCUR conference. Or rather, the most interesting part, which was the van ride home, packed in tight: Us, our professors, and our poisonous newt, Willy (you don't travel with a poisonous newt?), on a whirlwind tour of LA while bringing a random Chinese girl to her extremely sketchy looking youth hostel on Fairfax and discussing many things you would not think generally appropriate to discuss in front of, never mind with, your professors such as farting and how much we all disliked effing Blake Patterson. Oh, the adventures I have had in that Pepperdine Natural Science van. And people think science is boring.
2. Blake's birthday dinner at Allegria which was, quite frankly, Out Of Control due to Dillon's new personality (an old Jewish woman named Esther, I think) and so on and so forth; quotes far too dirty to be shared here, most of which I can't remember anyway. In any case difficult to describe and I didn't even know what was happening half the time, just sat and soaked it all in. Our waitress loved us, I think, which was good because if she had hated us we probably would have been thrown out for crassness plus I think she was propositioned several times...or maybe she told Dillon she wanted to take him home, I forget now. Not to mention we utterly confused her by being rowdy and wild, calmly praying when our food arrived, and instantly returning to vulgar jokes. Well anyway much like old times in the mensa with Virgina Slim rasping "For you, my cocktail dress is always open."
So those were the two main things and then this weekend was of course the Second (or perhaps Third) Annual Christmassive Ridgecrest Palooza featuring vino, chocolate liqueour cherries (would you believe they carded me when I bought them???), TP (Tony and I DOMINATED two nights in a row thank you very much), wine, purple frosting, not decorating the tree, wine, and, oh yes, wine.
Quotes:
"Next year, Tony's going to show up at the door. 'Hi, I'm the Palooza! Where's the soup?"
Alix: "Whenever I hear someone use the word 'corroborate' I think they're saying 'collaborate' wrong...and using it in the wrong context."
I know there was more, but did I mention there was wine?
