If you and I were alone in a room right now, what would we be doing?

(Now post this in your LJ, and see what people wanna do with you...)

(no subject)

We went to OSC (Orlando Science Center) last night for an event called Cocktails and the Cosmos. The also had Sci-Fridays as the theme. So on the one extreme there were people all dressed up like Klingons and Star Troopers, and on the other they also had rich hoity toities scampering around. There were lots of families with kids too. And people like me and Chas. It was definitely a diverse crowd. We wandered around the science center and popped in the Darden theater where they showed B-Movies all night. We saw a movie filmed in Orlando (and at OSC) called Mon Star (the quicktime clip shows a bad model of downtown Orlando being stomped on by the mon star and the cover of the dvd had OSC's observatory on it) and we saw part of a Korean film called Yongaray: Monster of the Deep. We went to grab food afterward. The dinner in the cafe was tasty, but a bit overpriced for the amount of food given. Chas had andouille with caramelized onions on an etoufe based pizza (individual sized) and I had a ricotta napoleon with Mediterranean vegetables. Both were good. For dessert we shared and espresso mocha cheesecake. They also had salmon mouse with endive and thai peanut noodles. Each dish was $7 and the dessert was $5. For the portion size I think it could have been $1-2 less but oh well. It was still rather good. I especially enjoyed Chas feeding me the dessert. :) We wandered around a little more...I experienced a 5.5 scale earthquake and we saw a tornado form. We went back to the B-movie theater and saw Journey to the Seventh Planet. What a waste of film. It was Danish though, and while I like things Danish, the films are almost always awful. Good thing about this room is that it was filled with MST3K junkies so we were all yelling back at the screen. It was about exploring Uranus, so you can imagine the jokes and hilarity that ensued. Finally we went up to the observatory again. This time when we saw Jupiter we could see 4 of its moons. Neat. Came home and watched the carrot battle on Iron Chef and went to bed.

Today I go to an iced tea market research thing at 1:30. It pays $30. Woo hoo!

We decided not to go to the bank and make a scene because now it is an issue with the branch manager and he will not be there today so no one can really do anything. He never returned my call last night either. It's no longer an issue with whether or not they refund NSF charges as a policy, but it is an issue with the teller telling me they would re-credit me those charges as a courtesy to keep me a customer and stop me from canceling my account with them. They offered it and now they are backing down. No one has called me back on anything...I am the one doing all the work. Is it really work the $120 to do this? I am beginning to think not.

Blech.
