So my weekend was fab, they always are to be honest, I love them to bits. Basically on Friday we went to La Gamin Restaurant with Snoopy and Professor, had a great meal, except for Professor asking and ordering the most expensive wines for the table. He always does that, drives me nuts. And of course being one of Robert's french restaurant, you get the attention from the wait staff that you associate with the french. Short, sharp, very abrupt and dead sarcastic, so yeah that was kind of funny to watch the waitress giving Professor shit and him not even realising it...
Then afterwards we walked over to Dublin 6 where we had a bloody fab evening. Snoopy made me laugh, she's in Florida this week on business and I quote..."don't want to turn up looking like Casper". So she was asking me about the spray tan that I've had in the past. Now it's easy enough, but you do have to be careful when rubbing it in, also you really want to take most of the residue off your face as you really would look like good ole Sammy. So of course by the time I'd finished explaining that she shouldn't go for a pedicure AFTER the tan as they scrub your legs, so most of it would come off...she was in a panic. She makes me laugh, completely mad she is.
So then James and Gloria joined us which was great, haven't seen them since before they left for England./ Gloria was complaining that her boobs had gone massive, which they haven't gone massive, but those puppies had definitely grown.
Actually for most of the evening it was myself, Snoopy and Gloria as Professor was off talking to Jason and anyone else he could find and Stephen was sat with Sharon, a friend and client who for some reason was a bit down, so Stephen was cheering her up.
Actually there was a bunch of lads that kept nipping over for a chat. Most of them were British, nice lads, except for their stupid Egyptian friend. God what a dick he was. Drunk off his ass and kept coming out with stupid remarks and swaying and falling everywhere. he even said something to Sandy at one point, where I quickly pointed out to his friend that one more quip and he'd be out. You DO NOT want to make comments or even slightly fuck around with Sandy when she's working......oh no.
So on Saturday we chilled, well I was going to go for a walk, but just couldn't move my legs. Then Saturday night Ivana came by, she's an old friend of Stephen's and wanted to see his new art, so she stopped by with her Italian boyfriend Andrea for what seemed like 6 hours, but was only a couple I think, hey we weren't really in the mood to entertain, but it was business, so you have to be enthusiastic. Actually they were very nice and absolutely loved Stephen's new pieces, but alas didn't choose any on the night. Well Ivana wants to come and bid on 3/4 of them tomorrow at the auction which is great, even though Stephen won't actually be getting the money, but it's still a great way to support him.
So yeah they sat, chained smoked and had some wine, then eventually left, but not before Andrea discussed lots of ideas with regard to eventually printing some of Stephen's pieces and showing a great deal of interest in working with Stephen, so that was pretty cool. Actually this coming Saturday he's throwing like a network/christmas party at his fuck off loft on Spring and the Bowery I think? Oh yeah this guy has a few pennies to say the least, so yeah that will be a great place for us to chit chat and hob nob with lots of people with shitloads of spare cash....excellent, what should I wear?
So yeah after they left we hung out, chatted and got a bit merry AGAIN.
So yesterday I was meant to go and see Aphrodite out in the burbs, but to be honest she didn't think it was that easy to get to hers on a Sunday, not knowing what time the buses were running and how often, so we nixed that idea and have agreed that this week sometime I will meet her from work and go back home with her for a few hours, see the house, have some dinner and come home. Sounds like a plan.
So today is Monday, tomorrow is the auction, so there's a lot to think about. I need to re-send the email out this morning, but I was hoping to go workout, but what it's after 9 now, don't think I have time before I go to fucking work....shit./ Ok I'll go for a run, that's what I'll do, nah maybe not, it's friggin freezing out there, oh bollocks. Oh yeah and also my mate SFNB is in town, today I think? So I guess this evening we'll get together for dinner? Ok so now it's getting on for 10, so I will shower and then get my ass over to Fed Ex, Rite Aid and then go get one of Stephen's Christmas gifts. Want to get at least one of them out of the way.
Ok I'm off, sorry not much to say....still tired, can't wake up, cool shower I think?
