We saw each other on our respective lunch breaks. I was eating on a bench with a squirrel playing at my feet and she was waiting outside a restaurant for her lunch appointment to show and was watching said squirrel (we call him Pierre - long story and a short trip to Hell there) play at my feet. He asked me if I was feeding him or if there was any reason for him to be so fearless and social. I said no and that he'd never done it before.

Skip to the end of the day. I hop into the elevator for the garage and who's in the elevator? "Hey, it's squirrel lady!" she said. I said "Hey, it's..."

And this is where moritification sets in. I'm halfway to saying "Hey, it's the lady who looks like Jane Espenson," when I think 'she's not going to know who Janes Espenson is.' Do you ever do that thing when you're drunk and you start to say one word but finish another? (No? Just me? Okay.) I segue in a way that is not a segue at all but a complete ruinification and yes I know that's not a word into "Hey, it's the lady who looks like she wrote for Buffy!"

Head meet desk. Repeat.

Of course she said she did, and I said "You're Jane Espenson," and she politely agreed and we talked about writing and such for the rest of the ride and while walking to her car. So the story has a good finish but is laced in the middle with a substantial amount of fubar.

(Le sigh.)

What I want to know is- WHEREVER did you find a phrase like , "( - long story and a short trip to Hell there)" and may I steal it for my own use- cause that would just be too perfect to use in coversation!

Yes, you can steal it. I don't need thanks or credit, but if one of my plays is ever produced near you I do require tribute. A tribute the size of you coming to see it and maybe bringing a friend. That way at least I'll know I can tell people we recouped our money.

Well, some of it.

Well, $20.

See you in Hell! (Um, in that good way!)

"Tonight, we apres-ski IN HELL!"

You bring the hot-toddy's, and I'll bring the boys?
