Let's say, hypothetically, that one was Audblogging from a bar and that one has had a lot to drink and the place is really loud, so it's almost an impossibility to understand the directions on how to post. When you login to the site, you can view that you have posts from that evening, but clicking on them gives you an "object not found" error. Is there any way to ever get those to post or are they just lost for good? .: 82 words at 07:55 PM in I'm Looking For.... :: Link :: Pings

Show comments here » Saturday, March 27, 2004Tiara Happy Hour IV
Last night was the fourth Tiara Happy Hour that was also a celebration of Emily's twenty-ninth birthday (yeah, yeah, I'm older by nine days). Lots of fun was had, lots of alcohol was drunk (Who the hell were those Scottish guys buying us drinks at the bar? And do I remember right? Did one of them pick me up and carry me around outside the bar?), lots of talking was done, and lots of pictures were taken (as always, should be interesting when they finally get posted). As a special surprise, Mac was even there! I was one of the first people to arrive and Emily went to introduce us and I was all like, "Oh, no, we've met before because she looks so familiar!" Well, I guess reading someone's site and looking at their picture forever just makes you think you've already met. Mac is a lovely girl and I enjoyed talking to her, especially at the end of the night when I was mucho drunk and had my head on her shoulder as she pet my hair. I so love Mac. If you don't live in Houston, baby, you just don't get to meet the cool bloggers, I'm telling you. Everyone should move here. .: 207 words at 05:22 PM in Fish Tales :: Link :: Pings

Show comments here » Second Helpings
So, today was second "business" interview and it went really well. There's one other guy that they're looking at, but I have more experience in general and more project management experience plus I've done some sales. They said that they may split the job up and bring us both on and then they asked if I'd like to meet with HR and get any questions answered. I feel really strongly that I could bring a lot to the table and the fact that I talked to HR seems really positive to me. I should know something really soon, so keep those fingers crossed, even if they are cramping. Second date with Mr. Air Force was really great too. I didn't realize on our first date how smart he was, but he's damn sharp. In addition to that, he's funny, cute, pretty sweet, and has a killer body. We met at the Richmond Arms, went to the Laff Stop, and ended up at Marfreless and had a great time. He left for Vegas today (Vegas, baby! How I love Vegas!), but said he'd call when he got back. Go ahead and cross your fingers on this one too if you don't mind. :-) Off to get ready to meet all the Tiara Happy Hour people and our surprise guest. Should be a fun night! .: 223 words at 05:58 PM in Fish Tales :: Link :: Pings

I have a second "business" interview on Friday, so everyone cross their fingers (it's with the president of the company, so I'm very hopeful). I also have a second date with Mr. Air Force (he wasn't a pilot) tomorrow night and I'm getting ready to go meet someone else in about forty-five minutes.

I have a question. Tonight I have a date with a guy who used to be in the Air Force. Since he was in the Air Force, does that automatically mean he was a pilot? Can you be in the Air Force and not have flown? I don't know and I didn't want to sound like an idiot if I asked him if he knows how to fly if *everyone* in the Air Force can fly. .: 76 words at 08:11 AM in I'm Looking For.... :: Link :: Pings

Most of the girlies that I invited out tonight couldn't make it for various reasons, so I'm going to be moving my birthday celebration to another night (maybe not next week, though, with the March Tiaras being Friday). Instead, I'll be taking Mr. Speed Dating (the guy I met in the bar) up on his offer to have a drink on my side of town instead. Here's hoping he's as cute as I remember and as interesting in person as he has been on the phone! .: 86 words at 05:45 PM in Fish Tales :: Link :: Pings

Show comments here » Speed Dating
Last night, my brother and I went to a speed dating event hosted by Match.com. (Truthfully, I dragged my brother along and even bought his ticket because I didn't want to go by myself.) Basically, for $25, everyone goes to a nice restaurant (in this case, it was La Strada), has some appetizers, and has four minute "dates" with several people (twenty this time). How it works, for those not familiar with the concept is that two girls are seated at a table for four. Guys rotate to the next station every four minutes. In that four minutes, you talk and get to decide if yes, no, or maybe you'd like to see that person again. While there was really only one or two guys that I would consider dating, there were a lot of really nice guys and I had a blast. I also met a really nice girl who's new to the area, so hopefully I'll get a new friend out of this. The funny thing is before it started, I was in the bar getting an apple martini. I noticed this tall, cute guy standing off to the side with his friend. I got my drink and left my brother to pay for it (got to have some use for a little brother, right?) and walked in their direction. The cute guy asked me if I was there for the speed dating. I said I was and asked him the same. He said he and his friend had come up there, but there were no spaces left. I told him in that case, he better take my number since I wasn't going to be able to meet him. He called tonight and we talked for about an hour and a half and have a tentative date set for Friday night. Be kind of funny if I meet someone through the speed dating who wasn't an actual participant. .: 322 words at 12:02 AM in Fish Tales :: Link :: Pings

Show comments here » Friday, March 12, 2004Toronto Happy Hour
Last night's Toronto Happy Hour to welcome Rannie and Jay to Houston was simply fabulous. I got to see a lot of old friends (Christine, Mike, Matt, Kathy, Elaine, Angela, Emily, and Katie) and meet a lot of new ones (Gil, girl and guy from Heterophobic, Pat and her sister Carmen, Irfan, Julie, and a few others that I'm blanking on URLs for right now). It was so wonderful to finally meet Rannie and Jay after reading their blogs for so long. Rannie was just like I thought he would be and Jay was fabulous as well. He even helped me scout out cute guys. What a guy, huh? Emily and I, of course, did our requisite shot at the bar so that we could flirt with Josh, the hunky bartender. She was then a good enough pal to go with me to the table of this adorable Canadian who was having dinner by himself and pretend to get a page so I could chat him up for a bit by myself. Shame he wasn't local; he was damn cute. Carmen and I talked forever about stuff. She is just too fun and must be indoctrinated into the ways of blogging soon. She'd be a hoot to read. In the meantime, check out Pat instead. What fun girls! In case I haven't mentioned it before, I just adore Matt. He has got to be one of the greatest guys that I know. The contacts look great too, btw, Matt. As always, these H-Town get togethers are just too much fun. I'm glad I finally broke out of my shell and started going to these things. If you live in a big city (or even if you don't), you really ought to look into organizing a chapter of your own local bloggers. Bloggers are more than just geeks; we're fun, social geeks. ;-) .: 329 words at 04:33 PM in Fish Tales :: Link :: Pings

I've had about $200 worth of Amazon gift certificates just sitting around, so I figured I'd get myself a nice birthday gift (my birthday is only a week away. I'm going to be twenty-nine, the last year to be a 20-something. Very strange feeling). I ordered Crossed Bones by Carolyn Haines (excellent book, I just finished it this afternoon; review to show up on BiblioBlog later), The Journals of Eleanor Druse: My Investigation of the Kingdom Hospital Incident, Tales of a Librarian: A Tori Amos Collection with bonus DVD, Everquest: Gates of Discord Expansion Pack, EverQuest: Lost Dungeons of Norrath Expansion Pack, and The Mothman Prophecies soundtrack. I've been listening to The Mothman Prophecies soundtrack almost non-stop since I've gotten it because it is simply that good. However, it's beginning to freak me out. The music is very creepy (especially the second CD consisting of the movie's score) and listening to it alone, especially at night, makes me think back to how much the movie freaked me out and then I start to scare myself (just a little bit, though; I'm not that big a wuss). Anyway, I guess there's no real point to this rambling post, but has any piece of music or CD done the same to you? Or am I really a wuss? .: 221 words at 02:53 PM in Media Consumption :: Link :: Pings

You are the grammar Fuhrer. All bow to your authority. You will crush all the inferior people under the soles of your jackboots, and any who question your motives will be eliminated. Your punishment is being the bane of every other person's existence, because you're constantly contradicting stupidity. Everyone will be gunning for you.
