"You can have my ass... but you can't have me"

Yes gang, that was actually a quote that I heard last night on Queer as Folk. My jaw just dropped. The utterance came from a conversation between Brian - the self-centered main character that apparently EVERYBODY finds hot (although I don't), and the new guy in town that everybody also finds hot (although again, I don't). JUST when you think the writers can't hit a new pile o' cheese, they do. I cannot BELIEVE they wrote that in to the dialogue. GODS... I can not imagine ANYONE ever saying that, much less without laughing. I only have one observation to that horrid quotation...

Brian doesn't actually want *you*. He in fact, really ONLY wants your ass. Oh... stupid pretty-boy.

OK, on with the weekend. What a wonderful, WONDERFUL weekend we had. On Friday night, after a truly horrendous day at work, we drove up to Long Beach to do dinner with some friends. What a great time! We went to a wonderful restaurant, and ate like pigs while watching the parade go by. Much laughter, flirting, and great food. Gotta love that. We got to see their house for the first time. WOW! These guys have wonderful sophisticated tastes. They have done an awesome job on their place. And unlike our house, it looked so... finished. Le Sigh...

Saturday was a whirlwind. In the morning, we went to a housewarming party. Then we dressed in Renaissance and drove up to Hermosa Beach for a wedding. Then it was off to Gyldenholt Anniversary for an event. And then it was off to dinner with some out of town guests. Le pant... Le gasp.

Sunday, following an intense workout at the House of Pain was the Laurel meeting. All in all, not bad. Typical angst and painful non-sequitor speeches from the usual suspects. But all in all, not bad. Thank the gods for the champagne!

After the meeting, we had Rosemary & Keven, Leonora, and Ikeling over for dinner. What a great time. Thank the gods I was able to prep food in the morning so that I didn't have to freak out much when we got back in the door.

It was a very successful weekend in terms of getting a LOT done, and enjoying it all.

One for the McDUH files

Last week at the office, we discovered that there was a pretty significant water leak on one of the sections of the building. The city came out, and determined that they needed to perform a repair, and that they would have to shut off the water for a couple of hours during the business day. Our E.D.'s assistant put out an email to everyone telling them that the water would be shut off for an hour or two.

At one point in the morning, she received an email from one of the staff asking if the water had been turned back on. She replied, with something akin to, "Walk into the ladies room. Turn on the faucet. If nothing comes out, the answer is, 'no'."

I LOVE HER!
