I've really got to get to the Parkway for their baby nights while I've still got an infant. I really, really miss seeing movies in an actual theatre, and the Parkway is just amazing. Excellent movies, imaginative double bills and special programs, tasty food and beer.

Apparently it has a sister theatre in either Albany or El Cerrito, which is also on the Zmayhem We Will Do This Someday, We Swear! No, We Really Mean It This Time! Entertainment To-Do List.

Nice to meet you, Sox. Come back again.

Interview ~ma to T, Sox! I hope it's in the general geographic area of, well, me. And tell your Toddler I said, "Shoooooes!"

I so want to do this at our staff meeting. Or better? At the Regional Meeting this weekend.

Foods and foreign words were always fun challenges.

El Cerrito. Lemme know when you want to go! I would love to accompany. And poke Matilda.

I don't think the Parkway is doing an official "singalong" per se, like a lot of the events around the country. I think they're just playing the episode normally. But we'll all sing along. Of course.

I've seen a few movies at the Parkway. My favorite thing about it is the COUCHES in the front.

FTR, 2 parts cherry vodka, 1 part lime juice nd a splash of cranberry is quite yum. And fills the glass up just the same as the last one, so I am doing something wonky with my measuring, clearly.

I've been doing bookkeeping here at work so I can make a deposit tomorrow. Money yay! Money somewhat unaccounted for and not sure is mine so I have to keep aside boo!

I may stop by the liquor store to get the Stephtini/-ttini. That sounds pretty good!

I could prolly pick Daisy up from the airport and drive her around SF (is this her first time to the City by the Bay?) and eat dinner with whomever and drive over to the Parkway. Only limitation is that since my boyfriend lives 4 blocks from the Parkway, I won't be driving back into the City that night; I'll be staying in Oakland.

Health~ma to your grandfather, P-C.

We looked at two apartments today. The first one was nice, but it didn't have a dishwasher or much closet space. The second one was really nice, it had a dishwasher and a very pretty kitchen, but it was on a second floor and the bedrooms were small.

Catching up from a billion posts behind (AKA "Thursday afternoon"):

I do not have any making out with Kristin pictures, because I got a migraine and did not go out dancing with her. Nor do I have any new haircut pictures, because I've been home for all of about one waking hour in the past week and a half. I am currently in Minneapolis.

The haircut, she took a lot of hair off without taking much length off. I like the idea (though when she described it, it made no sense to me), but the reality is not necessarily my favorite (I think the razoring made the ends all frizzy). Am working on experiments with product. Travels making this harder.

I want to have a pretty pretty wedding one day. Probably a small ceremony and a big party. My boss got married in Italy last summer with about 30 friends and family, and it was *gorgeous*--and then she had a great fun big party in October, so she got to wear the dress again! Though definitely not happening with the current girl, even if she is long term--she's been married THREE TIMES already, so no more weddings for her.

I'm going to owe the Feds over $800. Which is funny, because I don't SEEM TO MAKE ANY DAMN MONEY. What. the. hell.

Get someone to double-check just in case, Ailleann! I think the first year I did taxes I messed it all up and paid $600 I probably didn't owe.

is it polite/appropriate to ask someone you just met (and might consider dating) what they do for a living? Or what college they went to?

Ask that all the time. Though occasionally might not ask the college question if there's a chance the person hasn't gone/didn't complete/might be embarassed. The "what do you do", it's basic stuff! Sure, the answer of "I'm a lawyer" might give you a salary idea, but not if they turn out to be a public defender! I suppose depending on how you meet someone, you might not ask it right away if there are other conversation topics, but...it's pretty standard first-date fare!

first person into Jonestown in the aftermath. He said the smell will stay with him always. (He was also one of the Iranian hostages; clearly the target of a Chinese curse).

Whoah, no kidding! We had a principal in high school whose name was Jim Jones. He went by "Mike", and we always wondered if that was why...

Welcome, Sox! Am wondering if you are the sparkyrelation I met at brunch, who ended up with cool shoes.

That Jonestown documentary was something. I always knew the story - the outlines of it anyway - but I don't think I'd ever grasped the militarization and the level of coercion. Or, OTOH, the apparent integration - racial, age, etc. I think that's part of what affected me so much, seeing how wrong it all went.
