For those of you morons who DON'T know what Febreze is then let me enlighten you. It's a spray formula that you use when you basically want to keep the rugs, couches, curtains, carpets lovely and fresh smelling in your home. Now I use mine on my bed sheets, well basically for some reason I'm waking up with crazy assed cold sweats these days, so I'm a little concerned and I can't be washing those bloody sheets EVERY DAY, so I Febreze them, but now my friend Bill tells me that the solution in the spray that makes them smell nice and fresh doesn't really distinguish any of the odours that are in the materials. For instance when you have a dog or you smoke and you Febreze your couch to well it DOESN'T distinguish the odours, it justs emits a fresh smelling scent that OUR noses detect, which is a fresh, clean smell, but doesn't do shit for the couches, it just settles on the top and sits there for a while, letting us believe it's distinguishing the smell. I'm pissed now, as I really thought the solution landed on the foul smelling cloth, broke the odours down, and eventually distinguished the smell, but apparently not. Rightyo then.
He's a very smart man is our Bill.
So last night was Aphrodite's father's Wake which was just the saddest thing I've ever gone to. Yes I KNOW, it's supposed to be sad, it's a friggin Wake for christ sake, but to see her and her mom so obviously distraught and drained and looking so very tired, oh god it was heartbreaking. I felt sick, really did. And it was an open casket, so her dad was there, oh god, I nearly lost it when I saw him. Shit I thought they put make-up on them, he looked more pale than pale itself, it was eerie, he looked very peaceful though. They're was a lot of waling and quiet sobbing, some not so quiet, just very very sad. He was young as well, which made it all the more depressing. Her mother's in shock, she thanked me for coming, I told her to try and get some rest, she replied..."I have plenty of time to rest, but not now".
It's the funeral today, Snoopy and Professor are going, but I need to work and to be honest I just don't think I could face it. I hope Aphrodite understands, I'm sure she does, not that she'll notice to be honest.
So work was great yesterday, got real busy, I did the Viscaya Lounge newsletter on Microsoft Publisher which I haven't used since the Vineyard days, so that was fun. It looks good, but I'm a bit worried as to who can read it within their email's and how long it will take to download. If people have to wait for ANY length of time, they'll delete it. So I'm working on that today, plus I have to send some copy for MR Magazine who did a shoot in the club last week and we arranged some publicity re the club in exchange for the shoot, so because Darlene is still in Turks and Caicos, I'm going to do that today and send it in. Actually the photographer, Thorsten (German I think?) was on the phone yesterday and I think he asked me out? He said that he was trying to find me to thank me the other day after the shoot but that I had gone and when was I going to be at the club as he wanted to come and buy me a drink....yeah, whatever buster!!
So today I'm back there again, busy busy, which is good. hate not being busy and waiting on people to give me the go ahead, drives me fucking nuts. Then this evening I'm having drinks with Jen, which is great as it's been way toooo long since I've seen that girl. It will be nice to catch up.
Rightyo then have a great weekend, see you later people
