charloweenHappy 9/9/09!
In the past few days I watched Bottle Shock (pretty, but incoherent) and Inglorious Basterds (indulgent, but permissibly so), had homemade lobster for the first time (tasty!), got the class schedule for the class I'm TAing (and got the confirmation I am TAing), had many good meals and evenings-out with diverse groups of friends and new acquaintances.... not bad for a week's application.
The rest of the month holds: teaching (yikes!), screenings of awesome movies for class, going to see Cirque du Soleil's new OVO show down at the portlands (bugs! bugs and eggs! acrobatic bugs and eggs!), various bbqs and meetings, a taping of The Hour (Jason Bateman, Jason Reitman and Terry Gilliam + Strombo, all in one room), and the newest event - thanks to a certain awesome someone - going to a film fest party at a rooftop bar at the Hyatt.
It's shaping up to be an interesting month (I'll have to plan something for my birthday in there, too - any ideas?), but the question I'm stuck on now is: what on earth does one wear to a party at the Hyatt with $600 bottles of champagne on the menu? If Coke sponsors a party, I think that's an immediate pass for wearing jeans, right?
