Speaker Box
Nov. 26th, 2003 10:39 amAt long last, I now have sound on my computer at home!! My (really quite nice) speakers arrived yesterday, and so I hooked them up and tested them out. They work great. Had I been home earlier, I might have gone to LJ and listened to some phone posts. But alas, was not to be.
Why was I out so late, and missed Queer Eye? Funny you should ask. I was at a dinner with a whole slew of LJ luminaries, including
ntang,
ozzdo,
lwoodbloo,
mscheesecake,
djstorm and
martjin_de_jong. The reason for this get together at Pampa (Argentinian restaurant extroadinaire) was that
penchantnyc and
saintlex were in town, and it was
saintlex's birthday! It was fantastic to see everyone, and the whole thing turned into a rowdy, fun family dinner - with everyone switching chairs and yelling across the table and sharing food. Plus, I got to meet
saintlex for the first time, which was awesome. :) I had a lot of fun, as well as crazy indegestion from the chimmichurri. However, the cake that Jay had was outstanding (layers of poundcake, peaches, dulce de leche, and whipped cream) , and should be what a wedding cake tastes like. Honestly. mmm.
Plus, I also managed to square away a Christmas present! Whee! (now I just need the others...)
(must note: the presence of
quodlibetic,
aliasa, and
blergeatkitty was sorely missed. Hope to see you guys next time!)
The thing that surprised me the most last night was how popular my Id, Ego, and Superego posts are. They became topic of conversation briefly, and I was surprised by the overwhelming response of those who had read them. And flattered. And trying not to feel the pressure to create new adventures without proper inspiration.
And knowing me, that won't be too difficult. ;)
I have to go work now.
