snow

it's snowing. the first snow of the season. i had to drive home in but it wasn't so bad.

the General's 50th surprise party was tonight. it was fun. the Ninja was there sans Pop Tart, which is a good sign. maybe he actually is smart enough not to bring her to social gatherings that involve important people (i.e. his work colleagues and partners). she's an embarassment. i've never even met the girl, but i know this.

the General's wife came up to us and chatted for a bit. i guess she had gone up to Nicbal, who has fairly recently become the General's assistant, and said, "dear, who are you?" when Nicbal told her she said, "i thought you were a party crasher!" Nicbal then brought her to our group where she introduced everyone. when Mrs. General got to me, she shook my hand, recognized that we had met briefly at the office, repeated my name three or four times and said, "you're the only name he's brought home. i don't know the names of anyone else. except KSpazz. which one is she?" i was so tempted to ask her why he mentioned KSpazz, but i resisted. Mrs. General then went on to give us her condolences for having to work with the General. i thought that was funny.

all in all, an early night. i left at 10, but only because the snow looked like it was starting to get heavy and i didn't want to drive in it when it got bad. the Ninja must've been more drunk than i thought because he gave me a hug goodbye, which he never does.

i need a GPS unit, but apparently only when i drive in Richmond. that place, i don't even get. except that all roads lead to the airport.
