Just got back
from David’s party. I was so sorry I couldn’t go to Laura’s, but the idea of taking possibly 3 buses to get down there by 4pm, especially when I knew my dad was showing up soon, was too much. So despite the fact that Laura has refused, I owe her dinner.
Dad showed up and we went to sushi at that place Cutter recommended. It was just about the right amount of food.
Dad and I talked. A lot.
I also just remembered that mom gave me a teensy bit of information about You. I won’t go into it now, but rest assured, once the memorial is over, it’s fuckin’ gloves off.
When dad and I heard from David that we had at least half an hour, we drove (or rather he drove me) around the hills on Mulholland. It was such a lovely view it almost inspired me to never give up/fill in the blank with whatever Sesame Street lingo you’d like.
Then dad droped me off at David’s. Though I was a touch early, there were already people there. I stayed a good long time. Some highlights:
•I almost hit on Jeannie. No, not REALLY hit on, but I saw her from behind and wondered, who is that hot woman and is she married? Yes, I’m taking my arrangement with Cutter seriously, but I still have a pulse. I was close to introducing myself when I saw David next to her and I soon heard my name. I announced that I was standing right behind them and saw the lady was Jeannie. I told her about this. Heh.
•I met Dustin Nguyen. If you don’t recognize the name, look him up on imdb.com. Little Fish with Cate Blanchett, 21 Jump Street with my boy Depp, and VIP with Pamela Anderson. Among others. I immediately recognized him and actually said, I’m star-struck. He smiled and we had a good converstion. I didn’t do anything stupid except for the time that I told him that Agaarn had introduced me to JF Lawton, creator of VIP.
•I told Jeannie about He’s Just Not That Into You which, going solely by the trailer, I think is similar in tone to Sean’s Brother. I pitched her the idea of contacting the producers. And now that it’s public record, Jeannie, you gotta do it!
After the second toast of the night, I headed home. Or rather to Bob’s home. And I forgot to mention that Jeff called to tell me he’ll be at the memorial. Quite a few so far.
Oh and I also talked for a little while with Friend-to-you. I miss her and somewhat regret my decision to move here. Maybe regret is too strong a word. I think it was right for me to come, but I think I will eventually have to go back. Assuming I survive long enough.
Ah, and one last thing. Upon my return I saw a reply to my message to the Geeks of GeeksOn.com from Peter. That was a very nice thing.
I miss you too. But you’re right, it was the right thing for you to move there. I’ll call you tomorrow.
