Career counseling with EvilDeb. This is part of a chat, during which we said the same thing at the same time, which prompted me to call her Justin Timberlake. It’s a stupid inside joke. Whenever she gets to be Justin Timberlake, I end up being Joey Fatone. Because that is the only other N’sync guy we know by name. So, once again, we were discussing n’sync.
Deb: no. I heard him sing solo in a movie (maybe the Greek one) and he sucked.
Jodi: wow. you’d think the singing part would be one of the main requirements for being in a vocal group.
Jodi : i’d say “band” but that would imply that they wrote and played music.
Deb: No, it was The Cooler. He played a Las Vegas lounge singer in the casino and he couldn’t sing a lick.
Deb: But he was in a boy band and now he’s on broadway or something in a musical.
Deb: I’m not sure why I’m not more successful. there’s lots of things I dont’ do well that I could do.
Jodi: me too. i do so very many things in a very mediocre manner.
Deb: I really should be a professional bowler. I’ve never been good at that. I also can’t dance so I suppose I would be a very successful choreographer if I put my mind to it.
Jodi: i can’t cook at all! why don’t i have a cooking show on the food channel yet?
Deb: maybe you do.
Jodi: wow!!
Jodi: where’s my big fat tv paycheck, then?
I am going to be playing some poker tomorrow, at lunch. Texas hold ’em. I’ve never played this game, but I’ve seen it on tv. Good enough, right? Turns out, I have a poker game on my mac, iPoker, and it features Hold ’em. It was bad and naughty of me to turn the game on at work, because I cannot turn it off. This is the best flavor of poker I’ve ever played! Not that I’ve played all that much poker. Mostly, I’ve played against machines. I’ll let you know how I do, after the game tomorrow.
