It’s great to see friends.
I actually had company this weekend, and it was so much fun. We just stayed up and talked and then went to dinner in the city Saturday night.
She drove four hours to see me and I kept her cooped up in my apartment and made her watch Jarhead. I’m amazed that I thought it was a great movie even though there was time spent on vomit and bathrooms. Lots of on-screen naked boys in showers makes up for a lot.
In the same vein, I recently read a book called Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo. It was hard to believe that this book was written in 1938 and published just after the start of World War II. This book is just as relevant today. Note to people with weak stomachs: don’t read this book on the train on the way into work in the morning before you’ve had breakfast. I had to put it away a few times because it made me so nauseous.
And on a more celebretory note:
We have big plans for you, Jenn. Prepare yourself for maximum enjoyment.
So Sandeep and I were walking out to grab some lunch after a particularly rough conference call… As soon as we walked out onto the street we saw Mike Meyers (you know, Austin Powers). So then we decide to go to the soup lady and on the way back Sandeep notices his own famous person. He said that we had just seen one of the most famous Indian actors.
