I am pleased to report that since the heartbreaking "dog poo" incident there has been progress!  Ooto (I’ve decided I’m just calling her Ooto because Lisa is too damn difficult to remember) approached me in the hallway and asked about my weekend plans, perhaps implying "we should do something together!".  In an effort to look popular I said "Man, I don’t know. There’s so many things going on." to which she replied "Like what?", which was the point when I began to just blatantly lie.  "I’m going kiyaking" I said.  She was impressed by this.  "Kiyaking? Really? That’s awesome!"  Somehow I managed to shift the conversation from my faux-kiyaking exploits to my roommates being in Norway and me having the house all to myself.  She countered with "I’m all alone tonight too".  I suddenly became really uncomfortable.  Was she seriously implying that we do something together, or was this the biggest mind-fuck in history?  I couldn’t read her.  What was the right play?  I wanted to call a "time out" and call my friend Q-Dreams who is a serious gamer, but there was no time.  I just blanked.  "Well, have a good weekend" she said, and walked away.  And just like that it was over.  I went back to the mailroom and pondered these new developments.  At the very least she showed interest, and that’s something.  For now I’ll just play it cool…and go shopping for a kiyak.
