I got to be in a small, mock press conference today for a writing class at the college that Mike’s teaching 
I played the part of an Infection Control nurse there to field questions from reporters (students) about a patient who was found to have been exposed to anthrax.
It was fun Mike gave me a FAQ sheet from the CDC website to go off during the conference and me being me and I suck at bullshitting I studied it for a couple of days so I could sound like a nurse. Silly? Why yes, yes it is, but I don’t care. I think I sounded pretty good once I got the hang of it. I’ve never been to a live press conference before even tho I worked in Marketing at the hospital.
Anyway, it was fun Now… it’s time… for Johnny Cash.
What a wacky day today. Crazy busy. Lots of work to do. Day flew by.
I love this movie. Yeah it’s a total chick flick I know. I don’t care I had it on video ages ago and loaned it out to someone and never got it back. So I was chuffed to find it cheap on DVD Watched it today. I love love love the haircut Gwyneth gets in this movie.
King Kong played at the cheap seats today so we decided to go see it. I always meant to go when it was here on its first run but I just didn’t get around to it. Wish I had. Leave it to PJ to make me cry for a monkey.
Here’s a crappy photo from inside the cinema.
My batteries are dead in the real camera which is why there have been so many phone pix.
Anyway, “Kong” was great and sad and funny and gross. Lots of gross. The natives of Skull Island will be giving me nightmares for awhile *shudder.* But the humanity of Kong was so well done and poignant that I did get a little teary in a couple of scenes. The big lug.
I think I’m going to have to buy the 6th season of Sex and the City. Just for Baryshnikov. The man… does things to me.
An interesting angle on a boring building. The kid was at the Gs and I didn’t feel like cooking so I whipped through Amigo’s for dinner.
Spent the day waiting for Tech support to work on a laptop I needed fixed by tonight. Did they ever call back? No. Man it’s like waiting for the cable guy to show up and you can’t really do anything til he’s done. Annoying.
Anyway, time for Sex and the City with Baryshnikov. Yum.
Dinner at the Coop tonight. I usually get the Totally Jack burger because it amuses my “24″ sensibilities. I love to say, “I’ll have Jack.” when I order.
I don’t really because the waitress would look at me funny, the way people do when they don’t get the joke.
But all of that is moot because I just had the mushroom burger.
I have also just realized I had the phone set on the smallest resolution. So the pic is teeny. Ah well.
And once again I didn’t even get picked to be questioned by the lawyers. Two people were even excused for cause and the lottery was played again to pick two more jurors out of the pool and I still didn’t get picked.
I dunno whether to be thankful or disappointed. Part of me sort of wants to sit through at least one trial, just to look at the process from the inside so to speak. The other part of me is relieved I’m not stuck in those 70s chairs in the hot courtroom all day.
I took a snap of the judge with the phone and the angle is looking at him from behind the defense table. I think it’s sufficiently blurry enough not to be a problem so I’ll post it. Otherwise it would be a very bad shot of the dome inside the courthouse.
And I’m safe for another month.
I had a case of the Mondays today so I have no pic of anything cool. So here’s probably the one and only pic of me this blog will see that I took while playing with the new phone.
I look like a hippie. But as I was pondering my hippiness I thought, “Gee this pic reminds me of a sketch my mom did of me when I was 5 or 6.” So I put them side by side for the hell of it Spiffy The weird thing is, when I was little my eyes were bright blue. Like cornflower, sky blue. And now they’re green. I don’t even know when they went green. They just did. Weird.
We’ve gotten in a habit of going out for breakfast at the weekend. Not both days or anything, but it’s just kind of nice to sit in a restaurant with the kid and chat etc. Today it was Grandma Max for brekkie.
