star sighting?

Today I saw John Doe.

It was in the lobby at the Chan Centre, after Douglas Coupland's chat to Arts students (of which I am one). He has scary light blue/green eyes and I eventually pretended he wasn't there because his eyes reminded me of Children of the Corn. I know he has a real name, but I refuse to acknowledge it. He's pretty cute in person.

DougCoup was amusing, at least until he talked about his bouts of depression and writer's block (remedied by eating dark chocolate). Some of the most helpful "miscellaneous tips":
- Your 20s are the worst time of your life. Don't expect anything good.
- Drinking is great.
- Like something enough and eventually you'll get a job doing it.
- Japan is fun.

There was more stuff, but I can't remember much more than when he called us all lucky little pukes. I can't believe I talked myself out of getting him to sign my first edition "Microserfs." Though it seems likely this won't be the last chance.

Unrelated...

Today proved productive, with both website assignments ready to have stuff dropped into them. Now I just have to write the content. I've been trying to write the content for 3 weeks. Guess I should get some dark chocolate and see what happens.

Anyone want to go drinking next week/weekend?
