Level 9 - Leisure Suit Dave

Last Week's Quests - Failed!
 
I planned to get a lot done this week, but I realized too late that I had made plans already to go to a friend's wedding. The wedding was pretty amazing in a fantastically nerdy way. My friend walked up the aisle to a song John Williams wrote for Star Wars. Weddings are great for the sole premise hanging out with women in dresses and attempting to get their phone number...and this wedding was no different. My friend was fantastically cool enough to invite several of her single cousins and tried to introduce me to them.
 

Cousin #1 - While too tall for me, she was pretty amazing. We danced, but then she found a guy more her height to dance with.

Cousin #2 - This one was a bit too short on attention span for me and so I ignored her completely.

Cousin #3 - Wasn't so bad, but she was married so it was a no-go.


The cousins ended up being somewhat disappointing, but the party was fantastic overall. I even hit on one of the bartenders. She was pretty amazing, but anyone that serves me kitty cocktails for free all night is sure enough to win me over. Especially when they are wearing a mini-skirt. Unfortunately I didn't get her number, but who cares? I had fun and that is all that matters. As for next week, it looks like I will be continuing my quests from last week.

Last Week's Quests - Completed!

I think I can finally understand why people say job interviews are stressful. The entire week was spent writing copy and attempting to perfect it. It got to the point that I was thinking up copy about the soap in the shower.

Everything had been all set up for the day of the interview. I had my portfolio on the table, clothes set out, and I was somewhat well rested. The problem came when I got dressed only to find out that my either my suit had shrunk or I grew. This lead to frantic racing to the store to find a cheap suit followed by racing back home to retrieve the portfolio I left behind. Sometimes I wish had a turtle shell to throw at the stop lights that take too damn long.

 Item Acquired - New Suit 

New Suit - Equipped


Anyway, the interview went well. I gave it my all, but I was asked a series of stupid questions. Aren't interviewers supposed to ask stuff like what is your greatest strength/weakness? I got questions like, "Can you tell me a time where you didn't want to work and a team and how you dealt with it?" What the hell kind of question is that?! The rest of the questions were simple by comparison. Now I get to play the waiting game to see if they call.

In an effort to be a little more sociable I joined a friend for the Chicago Wizard-Con. It was amazing. I met Lou Ferrigno, Colin Ferguson, Dean Stockwell (personal hero), James Hong, and two Suicide Girls (whatever those are). I talked to Dean about how my dad and I used to watch Quantum Leap together and how much his work influenced me as a kid, he is just as cool as he was on that show. Lou was actually a very positive figure as well telling me to Keep it up. Colin is just as positive as he is on Eureka and I talked to him about his role in The Stupidest Angel, which he told me a secret about that I'm not supposed to share. James, by far, was the most hilarious. We talked about his movies, his fans, and Brett Favre. He is probably the coolest 80-year-old I've ever met.
