Friday update

Today, we went to lunch at a place called Dante’s. It was Kevan’s turn to choose, and he had said that that place had hot looking waitresses. Far be it for me to argue with that logic. And yes, they were hot. But there was something else interesting going on.
There was a table a bit away that had two businessmen with laptops and a beautiful girl. They were talking, and the girl seemed to be the center of attention. It actually looked like she was taunting them. She had a loose sweater on, and was every so often uncovering her shoulders while she was making herself more comfortable. It’s nice to see young women using sex to manipulate men in negotiations.
The Die-Nasty Soap-a-thon started at 6:00 today. 53 straight hours of improvised soap opera. I think I’m getting burnt out of Die-Nasty. I went for the first two hours, and then I went home. I just didn’t feel like seeing any more. I’ll probably see more tomorrow, because I’m volunteering. But not today.
It looks very self-referential this year. It’s set in New York, but everyone seems to be playing an actor or a writer. So I suspect there are lots of inside jokes. Mark Meer is pretending to be Sir Ian McKellan. He promptly announced “you might remember me from such films as X-Men and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. And as far as I’m concerned, that is my entire body of work.” It became obvious that he wasn’t that familiar with the actor, when others started mentioning previous things Ian McKellan had done.
