Next Day
OK so on Wednesday night Paul through a tree trimming party at his apartment, which actually was a really good laugh. Not many people, they're were probably only around 10 of us but a really nice bunch of very different people, so you never bored. Although spend most of the evening talking with Mark who I work with every day, but he's a good laugh and his wife is sweet.
So yeah Sade Paul's sometimes girlfriend decorated the tree with a couple of her girlfriends while the rest of us watched and drank. To be honest when I first got there I was a little bored AND anxious as Sade and all of her girlfriends are of course drop dead gorgeous, so I was feeling all fat and ugly..whatever, I'm always like that at parties. Hate walking in to them and generally concentrate on throwing wine down pretty quickly so that I can get chatty and confident quicker.
So we came home I dunno about midnight, not too late, but then of course myself and Stephen stayed up drinking and setting the world to rights.
So we both woke up yesterday after 9, I rang into work for Stephen and told them he wasn't coming in then we both passed out again, it was great. Finally up around 11, walked over to the corner bistro for a cheeseburger and a pint to bring us around, and THEN went to Battery Park Stadium to see KING KONG. Oh my god that Peter Jackson is a genius, I mean it just never let up once, it was pure brilliance. I mean every little detail with the sets, the island, the natives on the island who were very scary let me tell you. Then of course KONG himself is just truly fabulous, his expressions, the way he moves. Oh god we were in heaven. But of course me being a tad hungover and knowing the outcome of the movie, oh fucking hell I was crying before he even got to New York, I was mess and when he fell off the Empire State...well it was embarrassing I was sobbing like a baby. Well at least Stephen laugh at me, not like some people. He was very sweet kept putting his arms around me while I sobbed snot into his t-shirt.
So yeah it was brilliant, go see it, you WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
Ok so on to not so pleasant happenings. Well you know how I mentioned, at least I think I did? about how Ivana one of Stephen's old friends wants one of his paintings...Mother Nature, well he called her last night to arrange to get it driven over there today and pick up 50% of the total amount from her. Well now it seems that he fucking boyfriend just got back from Chicago where his accountant told him that he can't go buying art right now, that he needs to watch his cash flow or something like that? So they still want the picture but not until February and is that ok?
NO IT'S NOT FUCKING OK...oh god Stephen was pissed, not a happy boy. Well think about it, it's Christmas so he was feeling good about having some extra cash, not worry about keeping a tight rein on things and now that's not happening, so he's really fed up with her and the whole situation. And yes they're still throwing their party on Saturday which I personally don't want to go to, but he does, guess it's a good place to schmooze and meet some interesting and maybe affluent people, so it may be a good thing, just wish we didn't have to go that's all. So yeah that was disappointing to say the least. I mean if he doesn't have the money for the piece until February then I just know he won't have it all by then, OR he'll of gone off purchasing the piece.....
So that put a bit of a damper on our high spirits yesterday......
So that's it really, good party, good movie, crappy friends, nah I shouldn't say that, it's not her fault, more her silly boyfriends....
Ok well I have to clean up this place a bit before the cleaner gets here, then head out to work. Right then well have a great weekend everyone, I for one HAVE to go and get Christmas cards later on and send them overseas or my family will NEVER get there's on time. Which reminds me my mum and dad should of received their hamper basket sometime today, oh god I hope my mother keeps it until at least a bit before Christmas and not wolf down the entire basket by the end of the bloody weekend???
