Isn't Friday the 13th Supposed to be Unlucky?
15 years ago
General
Got off Thur night's shift at 2am & drove to mountains for Persied meteor shower. At times they were happening once per minute! And not just out of the corner of your eye - big, bright ones that gave you pangs of excitement!
Slept in and caught a wonderfully damning episode of The Daily Show: http://www.thedailyshow.com/full-ep.....0-laura-linney
Scott Pilgrim and The Expendables are out!
Lunch at Porto's for amazing, cheap fried Cuban food (croquettes, meat pies, empanadas, etc.) and got a giant fruit tart for co-worker's birthday. Only $14 for THIS: http://www.flickr.com/photos/415645.....00/3817386028/
Stepped in Goodwill, instantly found a great shirt (that's only supposed to happen after 45 min. of scouring)
Researched only restaurant in LA that has Pavlovas (my co-worker's from New Zealand). Chef inexplicably gave me two!
I passed a French Patisserie in which the chef waved me in to meet a cute girl who wanted to intern with him. He invited us to tour his shop and then opened his fridge full of pastries and said "Help yourself!"
Drove to work with all the windows down, cool ocean breeze blowing through, and soaking in the eternally long southern California sunset while singing way louder than I should to Vampire Weekend.
Entered work to discover: A. It was pay day!
B. There was tons of left over pizza, donuts, and bagels
C. They fired the one co-worker I was stuck with who was completely inexperienced and a drain on the room.
E. I had a half hour of work, after which the building cleared out, leaving 7.5 hours of freedom to celebrate my co-worker's birthday with cheese, crackers, nuts, beer, wine, cakes, and the pavlovas!
Roommate just called out of the blue - coming over to join in drinking and merriment
Man...Just ONE of these things would have made my day awesome!

Or, most likely, all this theorizing is retarded mystic bullshit :D
Which does make you at least curious why those 2 disparate things occurred right on the same day...
friday the 13th is always a good day for me. i drew naked ladies at work! and i got paid to do it! :D
Don't you love having those realizations at work? They happen quite frequently at work..."Wait, I'm getting paid to watch this movie right now. This is my job. I'm not sitting in a cubicle, drooling over a spreadsheet. This is ridiculous and great!"
i'll probably go see it.
This is where I bought it from: http://www.bitebar.com/
But I also just discovered this place serves them for dessert as well: http://www.popchampagnebar.com/
Thanks for the info my family loves Pavlova.
Also, not just gods, man...there's totally aliens everywhere. Haha.
Ok, but seriously, reading the comments on this digg article kinda freaked me out ;)
