Kabab Factori

A while back, Dennis invited me out with some of his friends to the very shitty-looking but secretly awesome Kabab Factory.  We drank a bunch of BYOWhite Wine out of plastic cups and had a great time.  DK's back in town and invited me again, only this time with an additional party: the elusive, storied MAO.  I've heard much about this apparently flawless creature, but have never met her (but, due to Dennis's blog, feel as though I know her fairly well.  Thanks, Internet!  I feel creepy).

 Dennis:  yay

it will be the same people

and you will finally meet MAO

for that reason alone you must come already

 me:  oh god

will the world explode if i meet mao in person?

bc at the moment i'm not sure she's a real person

 Dennis:  haha

 me:  but a digital avatar

 Dennis:  yes she is like Simone

i constructed her from my imagination

equal parts beauty and awesomeness with a touch of crazy

 me:  hahahahahaha

SIMONE

you are the ONLY PERSON who remembers that movie

oh wait according to imdb it was really called S1m0ne

 Dennis:  yes

i OWN it

i own chinese bootleg that didn't work

ok

see you at dinner

write a blog entry about how you will finally meet MAO

the end

So apparently, tonight I'll meet the model that Dennis hired to impersonate his online creation, and experience the ultimate in digital diaspora.  Did that make sense?  No, but it sounded cool.  Also, I feel super shady blogging about someone (besides a celebrity, obv) I don't know, so I'll stop now.

Also, speaking of celebrities, Mindy Kaling got a seven-figure deal to develop her own NBC sitcom while continuing her stellar work on The Office.  Ordinarily, news of someone close to my age getting paid exorbitantly to do my dream job would both enrage and depress me, but this is the exception!  I hope that Mindy's sitcom is awesome.  I hope she becomes the next Larry David, and after experiencing wild success with her show, does yet another awesome, cultier show on HBO, thereby prolonging her stature as a comedy goddess.  The main drawback here is my sneaking suspicion that her blogging, while never prolific, will now cease entirely.  Boo.  Also, I'm not sure she'll have time to be my best friend.
