Stories from an ordinary life

He's baaack!

As if I needed proof that Vaughn is still alive! Looks like they're going to get married, which would definitely make my season. They have to give my favorite characters a happy ending. After I found this new pic on People's website I had a hard time not running and telling every "Alias" fan in the station that Vaughn has risen again. I'm a happy girl despite missing out on Rolling Stones.

That's right, my uncle couldn't swing me an extra ticket. I won't hold it against him, besides -- getting out of work would have been tricky. But I saw my 'rents afterwards and it looked like everyone had a blast and they were all pretty wasted. So I countered by heading to the Gin Mill. That place is quickly becoming my favorite bar: the live band is great, they have a terrace and the drinks are reasonable. (Note to Tré, their Maker's Mark is only $5 and my co-worker calls it "Olympic-sized.") I enjoy hanging out with the guys too; I never get to talk to them at work. They crack me up. I brought up Say Anything and one of the guys said he would marry John Cusack in that movie. I appreciated that. The conversation tonight kept rotating back to Will Ferrell. I mentioned him first since "Entertainment Tonight" was in town today for the movie shoot, then it turns out Ferrell was at the Stones concert and one of the guys (who bought his ticket for a mere $60 today and got a massive upgrade when it turns out that seat wasn't available) was only 20 seats away from him. Ferrell actually wore his Wonderbread hat and shirt from the NASCAR movie he's filming to the concert. What a weirdo! Maybe he was trying to stand out and get all the attention.

Oh, and one of the boys informed me that the fried pickle chips I've been craving are right under my nose. Turns out the bar right next door to the station has them! Anyone want to hit up the Morehead Tavern ASAP?
