just got home from a temp job of sorts. a family that i am friends with hosted a dinner party tonight. i was paid to help plate and serve a five course meal, complete with palate cleansers and wines paired with each course. some people take their food seriously. like iron chef seriously - there were diagrams for presentation. i think the mom, who i have coffee with fairly often, feels bad that i don't have a job, so gave me this opportunity along with her teenaged son and daughter. my pride has sometimes flared up here and there in this unemployment time, but this sounded fun so i happily agreed. i looked forward to the time with the kids and helping out some friends. that fact that money was involved was a bonus. i mean, i also got to sample each of the courses, play video games with the boy, and watch "best in show" afterward with the fam. there are worse ways to pass a saturday night.
i should also add that i finally saw "this is spinal tap" last night. and then "best in show tonight." it's a christopher guest mockumentary weekend. freaking hilarious stuff.
