Yesterday, at the ever welcoming and fabulous Biscuit and Mike's place, I was introduced to what is the modern marvel of the card game Apples to Apples. (I still can't believe I won the definition 'speedy' with the card 'roadkill')
We had a great time, and the party tripped over and on into the Oscars.
Saturday night was also a lot of fun, with a bit of a gathering at a bar called 'People' on the Lower East Side, where the coat check girl managed to get the hook of a coathanger INTO my wedding ring and was halfway to the coat rack before my polite and rather surprised protest registered with her. That or the fact that I appeared to be reaching over her shoulder. I am lucky that the coat booth was a small boxy closet-type affair.
On Friday afternoon, when I convinced myself that after emailing my recruitment agencies references and going through CareerBuilder.com and Monster.com (the latter being increasingly made redundant by the former) that there was little else to be done with regards to getting a job by Monday - hands up people who think that recruiters go home early on Fridays? I went to the library to write. As we arranged, Krissa and I were to meet outside her office at 6pm, but, having come to a good ending point, I left early, little knowing that Krissa had done the same and that she and Sarah Jessica Parker were both coming to meet me at the library.
Sadly I missed the small televisual one completely but happily bumped into the small pretty stylish one when doubling back from her office. Funnily enough, Krissa and Sarah crossed paths in the library. Better luck catching me next time, SJP. Fat chance. I'm changing libraries. You'll never find me.
It is currently snowing so hard that it is coming in horizontally on the wind; a little self defeating for the snow, when you consider that if it does that across the city it will just pass through completely...or settle on the sides of buildings.
BACK UP A MINUTE. THE Sarah Jessica Parker?
* heads over to le petit hiboux *
AHHH right. As you were then.
(I've had thing for SJP since that witches thing she did with Bette Midler. Hubba and most certainly indeed, hubba).
Ohh and .. er.. yeah.. to the rest of the post (sorry got sidetracked a little there)
Ah, yes. That was where I first saw her on'telly as well. Hocus Pocus, I think it was called, and she played a warty yet sexy ditz.
Strange.
Apples to Apples is so much fun. I love it because you can play every single round, even if your cards aren't that good (unlike Trivial Pursuit, where if you're stumped, you can't even hazard a guess).
