labrujahMichael Showalter (from Wet Hot American Summer) came in and had a bagel. Me and Lily (the nice girl I work with) discussed how he's not friendly unless you acknowledge that you know who he is from his movie stardom. My theory is that he's shy and can't make an overture. Also one time he came in with a girl, reportedly.
I bit it on the steps in the bartending school office b/c of my Chinatown $2 flip-flops. I am nursing a 2-inch knot on my shin now with a classy trash bag full of ice. Thanks.
Last night I got on the train from the thrift party with some strangers who were also there. They wanted to know what I got so we gave each other a little what-I-got show on the way to Buttermilk (me)/Jay St.(them). Longest sustained conversation with strangers on the subway ever. We also discussed SkinCola, which![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mittenstein so adroitly pointed out.
That's all the news.
Suddenly I have so much filling-in/freelance work that I have to work every single day for like 3 weeks straight. Novel.

It will be interesting to see where our paths end up crossing.

Date: 2003-04-29 08:04 pm (UTC)A few years ago, I was working as a bike messenger, and I had to deliver something to Stephen Dorff (he played the main villain in "Blade")in his hotel room.
EVERY FIVE SECONDS, HE SAID HIS FIRST NAME. But never his last name-he just kept dropping the name "stephen" into his conversation.In a normal conversation, do you say your own first name in every sentence? There was some chick with him who knew the Beastie Boys-(I saw her on tv)-I was totally preoccupied with her, like "holy shit, you know the beastie boys!!!' And i ignored him.
He wasn't an asshole, he was cool-I just think it was driving him nuts though that I wouldn't acknowledge who he was.Like I'm supposed to think-"hmm, Stephen? Stephen DORFF?????"

Date: 2003-04-30 07:46 am (UTC)when i worked in philadelphia, i was walking up the steps of my office building. think cheesy marble and gold on a busy street. carrying dry cleaning. there were people ahead of me, and i full of sighs and dirty looks b.c they were walking so fucking slow. then i go to bound around them (also in flip flops, by the way) and get my foot caught in the dry cleaning bag and bam. then i had to go back to my office (in a skirt) with a scraped up knee. the office where i worked with my boyfriend that i was obsessed with for 2 years. the pits. so the fucking pits.

Date: 2003-04-30 09:46 am (UTC)That's probably the main lesson I learned since college: It takes a long time to get a specific job, but if you really need one, you can get a random job doing something you never imagined doing.
