I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

The status is NOT quo.

Hee. No worries. I honestly would prefer to avoid the heart attack anyway. Would you mind heading this direction after the shoot? Do you have a car, btw, or will you need a ride?

I have some unexpected free time this weekend—I'll see what I can work up f2f graphic-wise.

Anyone have an objection to me using a phoenix image that's based on the Mars lander of that name currently under development rather than the classical Egyptian bird? Seems appropriate, what with some of our own working for JPL...

Ginger, thanks for that. What's the other prom option? I'm very concerned about the cost of doing it at the hotel.

Don't know if this is remotely possible - I was thinking about the theatre where they thought they might be able to do a OMWF thing. If I'm remembering correctly, I don't think they have any room. But I seem to recall there was a restaurant next door, in the same strip. Maybe that would be an option, to sort of combine those two?

I do think that taxis back and forth would be a reasonablish idea, in that area.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

If anybody wants to catch some of the Oscar-Nominated flicks this Monday I think Ima be doing my own little film festival but I'd love to have company and I can even get you free tix.

ETA: Los Angeles Area

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Well, I think Mexican food is something we do awfully well here in LA so I suggest possibly thinking along those lines. I'll be done with skating by 6:45 or so and will be in Glendale, but will go anywhere.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Hey, Robin, speaking of Mexican food in L.A., how is Mariasol's, do you know?

At this point, it looks like I'll need a ride.

GODDAMN FUCKING SONOFABITCH!!!

I just got a notice for jury duty. On May 3rd. While it probably won't amount to anything more than a day of boredom, (1) I can't take a chance that I won't get chosen, so I don't dare make any reservation for the F2F and (2) I was already supposed to be almost a week into my road trip at that point. I can reschedule the road trip, but there's no way I can do the F2F (flying down and back for just the weekend is not really an option - it kinda had to be part of my road trip).

FUCK!

Call and say you're out of town that week? It's worked for me in the past, but I was in uni so that might have counted for more than a vacation would.

In Massachusetts, you can delay jury duty for up to a year without giving a reason. There should be something in your summons about it.
