what i really need now is a nice well-oiled neck rub followed by 10 hours of sleep.
event just now at Il Lido was amazing. nope, still the same ol' socialite-y faces making up the crowd and air kisses galore BUT the canapes were awesome.
scallops wrapped in parma ham..
lobster tartlets..
asparagus and smoked salmon rolls..
foie gras with caramelised fruit in lettuce cups
lamb skewers
see they were so good that i remembered all of them.. there were more but there were so many trays going around that i couldn't track them all down. ha. all of them salty little things makes you thirsty. downing them with champange is like an orgasm on your tongue.
sorry, what event was that about again? hahahaa.
i think to hold a successful media event one must ensure great titbits. i know some may dispute that it might distract your targets but trust me, my colleagues and I wouldn't have lingered for more than ten minutes if it weren't for the food. for the first time we actually hung around for an hour at an event. most events i've attended, the canapes served were usually sad little limp things like cucumber sushi. i'm glad i'm a writer and not a PR person, since i hate to mingle. i'm one of those who'll be happy standing in the corner gorging food while wondering what the door gift would be.
anyway.

heartening to know that we're still very much a patriotic bunch, judging from the comments. in my opinion i think this Lee guy is just a piece of shit. Good journalism my arse baby. even my editor agrees.
if you read his first paragraph closely, it means that he actually spent most of his life HERE and not in fucking Houston. i concur that he's just one of those wannabes trying to make a hoo-ha out of his 'americanisation'.
fucking tired. good night all
