So my quote this time is actually not a Jac-o-Nik quote, but rather a Jen-o-Nik quote from the Friends of Tennessee cocktail party I went to with her for work:
Nik: Are you about ready to go?
Jen: Sure. Wait. Let me just get some more of this weird seafood mousse and then we can go.
I could never come between a girl and her seafood mousse.
And a related quote from later in the evening at the Gold Room student reading, when I told my friend Erin about the food selection at the party:
Erin: "Ugh, seafood mousse? Why do people do things like that to food? 'Oh, look, here's some delicious prime-cut beef. Let's make it into a foam!'"
Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of the seafood mousse or any other aspect of the party, because I felt that walking in with a big ole SLR camera and snapping away would be really awkward. As if I wasn't already out of place enough being under 50 and tattooed. It was kicks, to be sure, but my favorite part of the evening had to be IHOP burgers at 1 in the morning with Casey a.k.a. the Fox Bandit. Did you know IHOP has iced coffee now? Or at least, some sort of artificial ingredients chemical soup that is coffee flavored. Hey, it was 1 in the morning. I wasn't picky.
Off to face the rest of the weekend: editing my uncle's screenplay Crawfish Zombies (which is destined for cult B-movie glory), seeing Brian's workshop production of Merrily We Roll Along, and going on a dog park date with Jamie and her adorable boxer, Mingus. Till next time.
