You'll never guess who I met tonight!
Give up?
Bill Nye.
The Hotter Than Hell in a Bow Tie Science Guy.
And by "met" I mean listened to his two hour long "sold out" (persistent little thing am I..) lecture at SCCC and then lurked around until everyone else left so I could shake his hand and squeak out some words and all of a sudden I was a blushing, giggling, wobbly kneed, ten-year-old ball of awkwardness again.
I must admit, after all these years I still have a bit of a crush.
After grumbling about "why did I do that? why??" in my car for while, I set off. I spent forty five minutes driving in the exact OPPOSITE direction of my home, wondering all the while why everything looked different in the dark and why it seemed like miles since the last sign or street light. Why??? Because I was in the middle of nowhere! I didn't think it was possible, but it was. Oh, yes. For a few minutes I was indeed totally, utterly lost. I considered driving off the road into a ditch and trying again in the morning. And then I grumbled some more as I tried to find relatively un-sketchy place to turn around.
(On the tube: Yaqi? International tickler? This guy is awesome in a really gross, weird way.)
Went looking for the Albany Farmer's Market earlier today. I didn't find it, but I did make a new friend. I know pretty much everything about him... except his name. Pity.
