The Daily Sabs

This evening Kellan and I popped into metropol for a quick brainstorming session. (sidenote: I forgot to check in and solidify my mayorship, boo.) We chatted about candy and sugar and other sweet things. When we were done we said farewell and I came home to a new package (lately it's been like Christmas). It was actually an impromptu purchase Randall made, but I took it over. Sifteo is a new fun toy item that is totally useless and strangely fun. You can download new games for it and play by connecting them together. Clear dots, build words, etc. The sdk isn't out yet but when it is, we're gonna nerd Friday us up our own games.

We've got a lot going on at work, and so after our team meeting Josh, tod, ash, Reid, and I decided to grab early lunch and then hunker down. I assumed this meant we'd go grab something quick and come back to our desks. Apparently I was mistaken. When we got to paladar, someone said table for five and I just went with it. I used to be all about lunch, but lately I just want to go back and get all the work done. However the wee break was nice and it was fun to hang with my new nerd boys.

Ps. I love the way this looks like a bad band image

Pps. Brian mentioned today that it was the first launchmodeallhandsondeckproject powwow that I wasn't part of. I have to say it made me *tear* just a bit. I almost pulled up a chair in their war room, but that just would've distracted everyone. *pew* that's the sound of my fake tears.

Ppps. I was so foodcoma happy last night I totally forgot to say that as kellan and I left, we ran into Molly. Huzzah!

Our pal Amy (the golden girl roller derby queen below) is packing up
10+ years in the bay area and moving down to southern California with
her fiancé Berto (that's him in the banana suit). Before they skip
town, chris and jessi decided to throw them a party. Being that it was
also Halloween weekend, Amy told us all to dress up too. This year
Randall and I decided to go as professor Layton and Luke, Randall even
stayed in character and drank all of his wine out of a teacup.

There were a lot of great costumes (a parliament of owls, Elvis, and a
trio of candy bars to name a few), but my favorite had to be the pair
of yips. The two homemade yip costumes were so cool and fun. They even
had the yip noises down, it was totally rad. You know what else was
pretty rad? Lily's pig-nosing the glass door. Oink oink!

Amy, I hope you had a smashing farewell party and good luck with the
move, and new job, and wedding and everything else going on!

This afternoon erin, julie, chris, Kristy, Kristen, and I headed down
to union square for some professor Layton fun. There were red british
telephone booths and a couple of actors dressed up as game characters.
I was really hoping to see the professor, but the gal playing flora
told us he was on his lunch break. Randall said he wasn't there this
morning either so I smell a puzzle that's unsolved.

Speaking of puzzles, they had a booth for the girls and one for the
boys and are pitting the sexes against each other to see who can solve
puzzles better. I don't know which will prevail, but I do know that I
will win! I heart puzzles and can't wait for the third nerd
installment of the professor!

Each year our next door neighbors host an annual holiday party. It's
usually full of their assortment of friends as well as neighbors. This
year, probably due to the ridiculous rain downpour it was about 50%
neighbors. It's interesting, we live in the city and yet I feel like
we live in a gossipy little town. I guess that's what happens when you
live on a quiet cul de sac.

The rain had kept me in my pjs all day, but I couldn't not go to the
party. We'd have to hide inside with the lights off if we didn't go.
So at 8 we got dressed up (I think we clean up pretty well) and headed
next door. I'm glad we did, I had fun and they make a mean punch (and
rum cake too).

Now, several hours later, I'm back in pjs (new ones the other ones
were lived in all day) and am enjoying the sound of the rain. Although
I guess it means the alemany flea market is pretty much not an option
tomorrow morning.

in case it wasn't obvious, i am a total nerd. tonight i took my nerdy self, along with randall and anneh, out to see harry potter. in fact i even donned my potter hoodie -- long story, but i will admit now that i did make randall go to three malls to hunt this down for me -- for the occasion.

ps. the better version of this daily prophet-like photo wouldn't upload, too big. booooo.

who would've known that dk here was such a nerdz? apparently she's a big ol' trekkie fan, and so she secured us some seats to the new star trek. and i'll just go ahead and nerd out right along with her because it was freaking awesome. i loved it, and i loved how they can start an entire new franchise without worrying about continuity, and i loved the casting and i just thought it was fun fun fun. i'll stop there so that i don't ruin anything for the rest of you. 

aftewards dk and i tried to strike a live long and prosper pose. i think we've got some work to do.

ps. i wanted to really nerd out for you, but my bangs are not freshly shorn. i think you can put two and two together. maybe someday you'll get lucky.

pps. lucy and co. were going tonight as well, i thought maybe i'd see them, but it was an imax theatre and those are huge. oddly enough she sat down in front of me.

ppps. i forgot to mention it, so i'm adding this in now. i LOVED the future/semi-scandinavian styled clothing of the vulcans. there was at least one sweater i wanted to make, and 4 other things i wanted to steal. that's all.
