raybearNew drink of choice: a side car. I had one years ago, at a cocktail party thrown by Andrew K. (you know who, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wearemany) and hadn't had one since yesterday at lunch when I indulged on the company tab. I also had beef tenderloin, partly because I was hungry as hell and thought I deserved the extra three dollars on my entree. It was lacking. Not in taste, but in quantity. I do well with delicate food sometimes, but not when I'm ravenously hungry. I ended up polishing off the entire plate, then helping Slim eat her french fries.
Speaking of Slim, she commented on my t-shirt yesterday and we ended up having a long discussion on writing and novel-writing -- seems she's been working on a legal thriller for the past two years or so and has about 150,000 words but isn't done.
At lunch we were having a follow-up conversation from the previous staff gathering about people running for president and who we would vote for. Apparently, Slim and I are the only ones who would cast a ballot for Oprah Winfrey. One of my co-workers said she wouldn't, in part because she's a megalomaniac. Hello, isn't that the requirement for a good president? Anyway, at lunch yesterday I said anyone who disparages Oprah can only be a player-hater. Slim needed a definition.
We have an ongoing discussion about how I tease her about not really being from New York because she's unfamiliar with most of the slang coming out of my mouth. Yesterday, she explained to our new co-worker that I'm constantly saying things that she needs explaining, and then said "yeah, last week he used the phrase 'rolling with this enterprise' and I had no idea what THAT meant." I gave her a blank look, confused as to what she was talking about. Then I remembered.
Last Friday, three of us were headed out the back door after work on our way to see the Star Trek movie. I thought one of my friends was standing in the doorway of Slim's office discussing the evening's plans, so when I walked up to say goodbye, I asked if she was "rolling with this Enterprise", as in, is she boarding this train to go to a movie (but sense it was a Star Trek movie, I substituted the train imagery for the well-known spaceship). I explained this to Slim. She said, "oh, I think I didn't realize you were going to the Star Trek movie until after you made the comment. I thought it was another new slang phrase or hip hop lingo I didn't understand. Now I get it." She pauses. "Oh, that's really funny."
Thanks. I try.
