The Week That Was (Sort Of)

As it turned out dinner last Sunday was at Green Eggs at Blue Bacon, located in New Manila. Boit and I had dinner with Sis, Aissa, Evett, Che Che and her friends Sandy and Jeannie, also from New Manila. At least there was a slim chance of getting lost. The purpose of the whole dinner thing was to introduce Jeannie to Evett. I just came along for the food. The lively conversations were a plus. As for looks, Sandy and Jeannie were okay. And as further proof of how small this world is turns out Jeannie works in the same office as Dulcie, who's currently stationed in the US. Sandy's into action flicks. Jeannie (not even sure that's how her name is spelled) seems sensitive to my side comments (I'd like to call them "over-witticisms"), maybe it's because after I make the comments I don't say "I'm kidding" afterwards (which I was and which I did that one time because it turned out that the person I made fun of was her mother). If you didn't know me well you'd think I was outspoken, which I'm not. Anyway dinner ended well and now the ball's in Evett's court, so to speak.

My Ebaying by proxy bidding turned out well, with 4 out of 5 "must have" DVDs now in my grasp. Now I have to stop soon as the current exchange rate is 55 pesos to the dollar and I've already spent more this month than I have all year. Probably.

Did I mention the Imesh program at the office is working again? Now I may finally get to complete my downloading of Six Feet Under and The Sopranos. And maybe a few movies along the way.
