the weekend, underdressed
my friend vino calls, "hey, i'm going to this book party, come with!" he says it's at christie's (the auction house) which i think is a bit strange but i think maybe they've rented out a gallery room for the evening. i wear black jeans, and a black v-neck sweater. i mention this because, very shortly after i arrive that this is not the outfit i should be wearing. no siree.
because it's not really a book party as it is one huge couture fashion show because the book? wasn't really a book. it was a gigantic red volume with nothing but photos of and about, valentino, who was in attendance. as were a million other famous people in fancy red gowns. and i'm in jeans, looking very williamsburg.
i did what i could to avoid showing up in the background of any of the paparazzi photos and hung close to the bar where a fantastically gorgeous cater-waiter was DEF trying to get me drunk. and the food rocked. little toasted pumpkin ravioli with a goat cheese dip, truffled parmesan crisps with steak tartare, figs with prosciutto and gorgonzola, lots of yumminess on skewers. i heart free bite-sized food. if only they'd had pigs in a blanket, i would have been in underdressed heaven.
then off to julie's party where i didn't get any less drunk. and there was a walk-off, something that is becoming increasingly common amongst my friends. it's exactly what it sounds like. a runway is made and people take turns walking down it zoolander-like and a winner is crowned. the gays started it as a way to improve their use of heels and it has become somewhat of a habit as of late.
the CLEs really sucked. any my computer and my wireless card weren't behaving. i seriously think my laptop won't work unless it's plugged in. i know that makes no sense, but i could only get it to start up and operate if i was sitting at the outlet. and if everything was in working order and i even started to pull the cord out, the whole damn machine would freeze. and tell me that i had 6 minutes left on a batter that had been fully charged like two minutes earlier. SUCKY.
i miss blog reading terribly and am trying to move into a new job. i'm realizing having proper internet access is worth cutting out the $10 more that i'm currently making. so in the meantime, fill me in. you've got my e-mail. and my love, obv.

We lead very different lives, my dear.
Mmmn, truffled parmesan crisps. Mmmn, truffly...
If it makes you feel better, Illinois now has mandatory CLE too, so there was no escaping it...
my laptop has to be plugged in, too.
Your finger food descriptions wound me...
