across the street from our office building there is a low-rise parking structure. atop the parking structure for the past few weeks, they have been building what looked to be a mini-golf course but what has turned out to be the set for the wedding of the Invisible Woman and some other dude in the Fantastic Four movie.
all of us on the south side of the office have been dutifully watching the filming of the wedding (we can't help but hear when they cue the wedding march) and seeing jessica alba in her wedding dress and that michael chikilis (or however you spell it) in his tux as the Thing. so cool! apparently, they are going to be blowing up the set after the wedding is done. hopefully during work hours so we can see. we need more binoculars. for some reason, we actually had a set of binoculars in the office. should i be worried?
speaking of worried, the Ninja comes up to my desk at lunch and says, "do you have lunch plans?" i said no so he asked me if i wanted to go for lunch with him. i thought for sure he was going to talk to me about something - work or personal matters.
we went for lunch and sat and ate and watched TV (he was hoping for baseball but no dice). it was awkward for me because i was expecting him to say something but he didn't. at the end, i realized he just wanted to go for lunch. i could've said to him, "so, is there anything you wanted to talk about specifically?" but i didn't. too chicken. i didn't want to hear about work or something going wrong in his personal life. not that he would tell me because he's more secretive than i am, not that i'm secretive but if i were, he'd be more so. so instead of having a lovely time at lunch with a friend and colleague, i sat uncomfortably chatting about mundane and surface things (which i hate!), waiting for something that never came. dumb.
