Yeah, I know, two posts in one night. Well, there's a good reason. Just after I finished writing the last post, I get a call from K. As part of her job at CompuHyperGlobalMegaNet (as GhostDog would say, and yeah, same place) she was invited to a VIP event tonight to the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. The reason being, her employer is a sponsor of a very cool exhibit, Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination… where they have all sorts of Star Wars things on display, fun games, etc, all related to the real-life science in science-fiction.
She had called me at my work at about 4:30pm as she was on her way, saying how she'd just learned that spouses / significant others were invited to this private event (food and drink supplied). Since I'd learned this so late in the day (and had my heart set on getting some of the previously mentioned painting done) I declined and told her to have fun. Also, we'd already planned to go about a month from now, when the event would be open to the public, so I thought "eh, sounds kind of boring".
Well, I just got a call from her, she said she was having a blast, that there were all sorts of people in costume, and to check my email. I got the photo to the left from a coworker's camera-phone. Dammit! And here I was, painting the stupid fence. Argh!

K forgot to wear her slavegirl Leia costume.
Hehe, yeah. Part of me was thinking the same thing. The other part of me was thinking “Get your hands off her, you Imperial scum!”. 🙂
If it’s any consolation, I’m wearing my slavegirl Leia costume, right now.
*shudders*
Nice shot with the Stormtroopers. How freakin\’ Falcon is that? For her, I mean. You painting the fence is like Luke stuck on Tatooine helping Uncle Owen…
Nice!

…Had to post that site, in case snooks wanted to submit a photo. lol
GD: haha, yes, very much like helping Uncle Owen, while I whine about needing to go to Toshi Station to pick up some power converters.
Jason: haha, sweet! (and don’t tempt the Snooks). 🙂

Ok, so I’m confused. You refused to attend something with ‘Star Wars’ in the title so you could paint a fence? Were you feeling OK? Feverish? Did you take a whole bunch of stupid pills in the morning? Man, I tell ya, if I get to see you over Thanksgiving I’m gonna have to slap some sense into you 🙂 At least there’s one smarty between the two of you (Kelly!) … but then, we always knew that really ….
Martin: yeah, I know, I’m obviously not very bright. Urgh. Still upset about this one. Here I thought it’d be a boring company event. URGH! 🙂
Well, in your defense, if you didn’t factor in the Star Wars-y-ness of it, the odds were in your favor that you’d have been correct about it being a boring company event.
