Was it on tuesday that <lj user=new_improved>, <lj user=chaotic_poet> and I watched &#8220;Latter Days&#8221;?  Oh, speaking of, &#8220;earnest&#8221;.  In one of the most detailed, and &#8220;behind the scenes&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mutantreviewers.com\/rlatter.html\">reviews<\/a>, they were describing mormon boy as the embodiment of earnest.  And I realized that&#8217;s a major part of my identification with him.  You don&#8217;t have to scratch my sarcastic surface too deeply to see the unalloyedly earnest lad I was in my youth.  It probably fits me better than &#8220;mercurial&#8221; though both fit me better, just describing different facets.  Anyway.  Done with that.<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday, my first game of Twilight Imperium ever.  It really is MoO2 the board game.  It was fun.  I got to play the techie race.  Woo.  Of course, the techie race blows for combat, but enh.  <\/p>\n<p>Saturday I met <lj user=sabin> for the first time.  I was surprised by his non-whiny-bitch-ness.  <\/p>\n<p>Monday, <lj user=chaotic_poet> made dinner.  I met his brother and his brother&#8217;s bf.  We had seitan, and soy cheese lasagna.  It was good.  <\/p>\n<p>Tuesday I got my stellar performance review and saw my supervisor for the last time.  In the evening I got my FFX data files off <lj user=new_improved>&#8216;s ps2.  In both the supervisor and christian farewell, I was staring at a screen while the goodbye was halfway through.  Kinda weird that.  Distracting myself from imminent departure?<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday, it was back to the burbs, where we played twilight imperium again, and I took <lj user=rsbdeadman>&#8216;s poorly defended homeworld (haha!).  Work was hardcore that day, no distractions, just plowing through.<\/p>\n<p>Thursday, another hardcore work day.  Indian with my peers for lunch.  I haven&#8217;t read the nytimes website in a very long time now.  Heh.  After work I met up with <lj user=squirrelbot> for Chicago Diner dinner.  Then off to the apt of Matt-my-8th-grade crush, a flight attendant, formerly for united, now for southwest, who now lives with his bf in boystown.  Matt, Ross, and I went out to Roscoe&#8217;s where we met up with Ross&#8217;s friend ted.  I had a couple drinks.  We chatted.  Matt introduced us to various friends of his including a good looking drag queen (in &#038; out of drag).  Ross hit on two complete strangers, including one whose hand found its way into Ross pants at the bar.  We went back to Matt&#8217;s place sans strangers, where I met his friend Spiker.  I went home.  I hear fun was had post my departure.  <\/p>\n<p>Friday was a day off.  Whee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monday last week I met went to the intern thing and met Dante. Was it on tuesday that , and I watched &#8220;Latter Days&#8221;?
