After a long day at work, I headed to the Sunset Strip for dinner and an artist showcase.  What was cool was seeing some friends and former co-workers again, as well as spotting Parminder Nagra (currently on ER, most famous for Bend It Like Beckham) in the venue. 

What wasn’t cool was feeling thoroughly outclassed by the complete bevy of gorgeous women at the venue, and there was also the woman standing in front of me at the showcase who had no concept of “personal space,” to which I told her at one point, “I know my shirt’s made of velour and is all fuzzy, but if you keep rubbing against me, I’m going to think you want my number.” What was even more annoying was the guy dressed as a character from the Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage” video who was desperately trying to get with the woman and kept knocking into me with his backpack.  I swear to God, I almost picked a fight with him. 

The night was saved, ironically, by my drive home.  It gave me pleasure to blitz down Sunset Boulevard at 55mph, whipping around the curves and feeling fearless behind the wheel. 

On the agenda this weekend: Star Wars Episode III tomorrow night with a close friend and a bunch of her co-workers, then the KROQ Weenie Roast on Saturday. 

Speaking of Saturday… right-click, save as and enjoy.
