conversations with cheetara:
22 November 2002

Cheetara: there's a new strar trek coming out!!!!!!!!!!! I'm very excited
me: ah. nemesis.
Cheetara: and the bond reviews are trashing the movie
me: ah. too bad.
Cheetara: but lots o' movies to see, bond, nemesis, lotr
me: I didn't have high hopes for License to Merchandise, anyway.
Cheetara: hahaha
Cheetara: hos goes the move to san fran?
me: ah. no real progress to report. i'm thinking about going out for Feb-March, maybe, working from Jupiter's office there, staying with my uncle. Just to see what it might be like
Cheetara: you'd be allowed to do that?
me: oh sure. We do have an office there. It'd just be a matter of working from there instead of here. I've done it before, for like 1-2 weeks.
Cheetara: ok
me: how are you?
me: are you coming back to NY for thanksgiving?
Cheetara: no, actually, I'm not
Cheetara: I'm ok
Cheetara: other than having an overwhelming desire/need to party
Cheetara: what are you doing for thanksgiving?
me: my friends l. and i. are having people over for dinner.
Cheetara: and you are invited I take it
me: no other real plans. maybe i'll go see the parade, weather depending.
me: no, but they said I could call them and they'd describe the food to me.
Cheetara: I really feel like seeing the parade
Cheetara: you know what
Cheetara: I usually don't care about the parade
me: well, it'll be on tv
me: is there something special going on this year?
Cheetara: but since I can't actually go out and see it, no w I care
Cheetara: no
me: oh
Cheetara: my parents are coming up
Cheetara: and on the saturday I have lb's wedding
me: ah. that sounds nice
Cheetara: yeah ... personally not that thrilled aobut it
me: which, the thanksgiving or the wedding?
me: or both?
Cheetara: the wedding
Cheetara: thanksgiving is pretty much a non-event in my life
Cheetara: so I am never thrilled about it so I'm never not thrilled about it
me: I see.
Cheetara: I see my comments are thrilling you
me: Went to a Fletcher happy hour last night.
Cheetara: how was that
me: P's "ideas about the website" basically revolve around "more content." I was like, you get stuff to me, I'll post it. It's not so hard. Oh, and we're going to sign up for a paypal account, so folks can pay their membership via credit card. That does make a lot of sense to me.
Cheetara: that does to me as well
me: L. was there; we had a conversation about whether it was better to BE a wacky friend or to HAVE a wacky friend. I enjoyed the irony of her characterizing YOU as a wacky friend due to your hijinks.
Cheetara: I'm the wacky friend?
Cheetara: Oh I love this one
Cheetara: and my hijinks are nothing compared to what they used to be
me: thought you'd appreciate it.
me: yeah, i told her i thought law school was mellowing you.
Cheetara: a friend of mine was reminding me the other night of the stuff I USED to get up to
Cheetara: fuck, even in NY I wasn't up to crazy stuff
Cheetara: you should have known me from 22-24 ... then I'd get up to all sorts of no good
Cheetara: law school is not mellowing me ...age and lack of opportunity is mellowing me
Cheetara: What hijinks do you think she was referring to?
Cheetara: ha
Cheetara: I love this
Cheetara: I'm the wacky frined
me: i dunno, going out with Dan Cortese might count as a jink.
Cheetara: wow
Cheetara: yeah
Cheetara: and the whole meeting patrick fabian in line for a bathroom
Cheetara: ok ... yeah I do have hijinks
Cheetara: that makes me happy :-)
Cheetara: yay!!!!!!
Cheetara: weddings in Nicaragua with 24 year old dates
Cheetara: wow, I'm fun ... I'd like to know me
Cheetara: damn it get me out of this place!!!!!!!!
Cheetara: oh well, I have to go print out my 5th amendment paper and go read some contracts
Cheetara: arguing with joey from the cast of friends
me: what?

me: you had an argument with Matt LeBlanc?
me: I've not heard this story
Cheetara: not arguing ... exactly ... but we didn't get along
Cheetara: saw him at a bar
me: Is he as dumb as Joey?
Cheetara: I was drunk
me: that's not surprising
Cheetara: not as dumb
Cheetara: :-p
Cheetara: kept staring at him
Cheetara: finally went over and introduced myself
Cheetara: he said "saw you looking at me"
me: that definitely counts as a hijink.
me: what did you argue about?
Cheetara: and I said "well, that's only becasue you were looking at me as well"
me: oh boy
Cheetara: then he said his name was Matt
Cheetara: and I said I knew
Cheetara: and he said "oh so you've seen the show"
me: that's not very flirtatious, depending on tone of voice
Cheetara: and I said "what show"
me: "seen the show."
me: like, you've not been living in a cave the last 6 years.
Cheetara: more stuff like that
Cheetara: that was the general tone
me: ah. so you didn't really hit it off.
me: but you spoke
Cheetara: and I was standing there at one point, and he was like "what you are still standing here?
Cheetara: it was lovely really
Cheetara: jennifer anniston and courtney cox were really nice, though
me: o.O
me: you're making that part up.
Cheetara: nope
me: THE CAST OF FRIENDS was at a bar?
Cheetara: no ... lisa kudrow and dave schwimmer weren't there
me: nor Matthew Perry.
Cheetara: he was there
me: 50% of the friends were there though?
Cheetara: he was a jerk too
me: 2/3 of the cast of friends?
Cheetara: yes
me: you've met 2/3 of the cast of friends/
me: when???

Cheetara: yep
me: why didn't i know about this?
Cheetara: geez ... mayish?
Cheetara: it was embarassing
me: That's quite a story.
Cheetara: usually I hit it off so well with celebs ... case in point dan cortese
me: were they mobbed by people?
what bar was it?

me: why on earth would they go out to a bar together?
Cheetara: four seasons ... naw not many people were talking to them
Cheetara: I saw dennis leary the other night, but I didn't talk to him
Cheetara: tired of these people being mean to me
