Visits and fraternity fun and web stuff

[skreidle]

Visited the Sylvie* and the Elz (her roommate), had tasty pumpkin cake, introduced them to the Llama Song and Team America and the GOP Mashup (all linked recently), skipped the APO reception, and walked back to my house--it got cold!--a bit after 1800. Changed into shirt/tie/jacket-over-kilt&boots, and proceeded to hang out with several brothers, several alumni, one son, an attractive wife-of-alum and a very attractive girlfriend-of-brother, for a cocktail hour+, then a nice dinner (cooked by an alum with assistance from a catering company who mostly handled linens/dishes/waiting), then more cocktails/chat. Then I introduced some of the brothers to the Llama Song, the GOP Mashup, and Movie Re-Enactments By Bunnies, back downstairs for more of the above, and eventually everyone parted ways for the night. (And Mark Golkowski was in from CA, and Phil Chen in from NJ! Haven't seen them in a couple years, so that was a nice surprise. :)

In the morning, I hope to hear from vampirekat, since I've left two messages on voicemail I can only assume is hers, and possibly get ahold of thehunter, and head south by early afternoon.

* As an aside, Sylvie has somehow managed to go almost 21 years without a basic familiarity with William Shatner, Captain Kirk, or George Carlin--didn't even recognize the names! I've heard of being a bit out of the loop, but that took the cake. (Pumpkin cake!) :)

But you've heard of William Shatner, Captain Kirk, and George Carlin, yes?

[skinglist.livejournal.com]

oh yes, quite like the third.
I'm thinking of the flack I usually get for not having seen Star Wars.

But you do know -of- SW, and you'd probably recognize the names of most of the major characters, I'd imagine..

[skinglist.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, and a fair few of the actors as well
R2D2
C3PO
Luke Skywalker - Mark Hamil (sp?)
Harrison Ford-Han Solo
Princess Leia
Darth Vader
Chewbacca
Yoda (he was a muppet, I ♥ the SW Cantina!)
Annekin Skywalker
Jar Jar
Queen Amidala

I could get more if I cheated on IMDb.

Jar Jar and Amidala don't count. ;)

(And see, you're much better off than Sylvie in the cultural awareness respect. :)

I know they don't, but I had to mention them anyway. And I got to point out to a coworker why she was called JaJa-Jynx when she doesn't stutter. Even I caught that SW reference.
