Museum Pleasantries and Girlish Babble - Disregard

Brooklyn Museum on Saturday with some 622er's - Nathan, Lisa, David C., Vicki, and James (who recognized and finished a Gershwin song quote I started-- Awesome Points awarded.)

Note to self - read more. Titles mentioned = The Gods Themselves, The Last Question, Snow Crash, Dune (which I have at least heard of!)

Apparently, alcoholic brunches are "a thing," here. Between certain hours, certain restaurants serve bottomless brunch drinks. I had to get the full "New York experience," so I tried it...

Brunch:

• One (bottomless) mimosa
• Screwdriver 
• Dagwood-style hamburger concoction 

After brunch, I went shopping for clothing with coding buddies  (whendoesthiseverhappen?!) - Martha, Jane, Ingrid, and Trucy. We found a cool dark corner at  a bar, drank (water)... 

Girl talk and interview advice - Never name your price. They can give you more, so ask. Haggle. Assert yourself. Show that you know your worth - and you are worth more than they are offering! Strong independent women. Yea, I think I'm in the right place ;)

Hacker School Game night was funnn..... I left early. Tired and semi-drunk all day. 


The whole 'intoxicated thing' is not as great as it's cracked up to be. I'd rather act drunk while sober (in some silly dancing Broadway theater manner) than act drunk while actually drunk... or unintentionally act drunk while sober. Najva lent me the first episode of Season III of the Real L Word the other day. I don't follow it, but that's what I thought of all the characters. Either they are drunk on set or they are just permanently intoxicated. Or just really stupid.


OR they're utterly brilliant, witty, and intelligent in that good-ol American way, and I just don't see it. Right, I'm sure that's the case.

Ok, fine, maybe I'm just bitter because there are no nerds.
