I ran into one of the "kids" from the 7Up British documentary! *half a sqee* okay, this won't mean much to most people, but if you've seen it you know Nicky moved to the USA - my campus. Hope i remember how to do this lj-cut thing ...
Oh yeah, Dr. Neil Roberts on Flashdance - such a small world...
I was at the university burger joint, being late for work because i needed a coffee and reconstituted potato rounds... and i hear a britishy voice and look up to see Nick! He's the physicist who grew up on a farm in ?Scotland? and has a slow brother. My favorite line from him was when he refused to answer Apted about having a girlfiend "I don't think i'll answer that". I knew he was a professor on campus and knew i'd eventually run into him, but it was still startling. He slimmer and shorter than what i remember from the '42' episode, but still has that boyish smile. Yes, he smiled at me but in that 'why is that retarded lady staring at me' way. I was going to wait until he finished talking with his grad student (i wasn't exactly eavesdropping but they were only a table away and it was all about money and tenure stuff). Then they walked out talking together and they were really intent so i didn't want to be rude. Staring was only borderline nuts and didn't last past my startlement. He had a coffee and some bready thing - not a doughnut. Next time I'll be ready with intelligent questions, like how well did that science book he wrote do? did he like the latest installment ('49Up')? Do you think how is you son doing is too personal?
Enough random stalker talk. I've been sooo busy travelling for work. Crappy places so far but San Fran in December! I promise to gorge myself on good food every single day i'm there.
Oh and last night, i watched Flashdance. What a blast from the past. The whole don't date the boss thing didn't seem to exist back then. There was even a joke where Nick Hurley/the boss/Micheal Nouri/Dr. Neil Roberts of The OC! says "then you're fired" when she says she doesn't date the boss.
Hope everyone is well.
