WHO WOULD PLAY YOU?

1. Huddle around a bottle of something
2. Get GIDDY and giggly
3. If you know nothing of films and who is in them, bow out gracefully, or volunteer to wash the dishes
4. Now, in clockwise fashion, take a long good look at your pals
5. Noooooooow, grab pen and paper.
6. Scribble on it who you think would best play them in film. There may be a striking physical resemblence or perhaps, something about their persona that SCREAMS them.
7. Be in turns flattered or appalled at what your friends REALLY think of you.

for those of you that gave me the jodie foster's thumbs up, i'll just say, errrrrrrr. and for THOSE of you that said MAGGIE SMITH (not naming any names..nappy?), fire and brimstone await you. now get cracking, i mean playing.


PAPARATZI
sorry, folks, am out. am a fan of the kraut.


THE ENIGMA OF THE MISSING SHOES
now...we can all hazard a guess as to what the MYSTERY OF THE SHREDDED SHEETS was about but the above cunnundrum remains unresolved. on the friday they disappeared. nappy, sales and lil' pea conspired and plotted among themselves. "they ran off" they said, ominously, chanting a cappella like a greek chorus. now, i know they're toxic but they're the only ones i have and i won't give them up even if they have holes in them (or maybe...er..not even then). anyway, they re-surfaced just as mysteriously. girls, i am ON to you.



LIL' PEA
back in her old stomping ground. she has few requests and they are essentially the following
1. an artichoke
2. a shot of bernini
3. plenty of walking and constant re-affirmations her butt is rock hard
she GNawed and GNarled her way to rome, in spite of the fact that there were strikes, no flights and 20 inches of snow.
a barrel of champagne awaited her. alas no funnel was required to pour it down my gullet. memory loss ensued...

THE MYSTERY OF THE SHREDDED SHEETS
Last night sparkle retired for the night, as she has for the past 29 years, without fail.
This morning she woke up to the following. Can anyone explain it? sparkle, reflects.

What Jack remembered and craved in a way he could neither help nor understand was the time that distant summer on Brokeback when Ennis had come up behind him and pulled him close, the silent embrace satisfying some shared and sexless hunger. -- A.P. (Read the full story

LA SALES DOES LONDON (each time it's different)

- sometimes less is more. so a simple introduction: martin, sales
- franco. mastering the art of the chopstick
- cowboys and cowgirls are all the rage. witness. this is the scene. i dig.
terry, simply fab, milena somewhere (line dancing perhaps?)





gary shteyngart + mabel hwang 4 ever

(trust me he's a great writer, gets paid for it, in fact but it was late and he's in love so we'll forgive him)
just thought i would create a special shrine for two people that spanned one week with us
fed us. and gave me plenty to drink,


old times sake..

these people should need no presentation.
they are both beautiful and i fell in love with both of them at first sight
the fact that my first sight coincideded with my 10th tequila is irrelevant
i loved them sober, sane the morning after and the morning before
they are gary and mabel

the other one is nappy, picking her nose. she strikes the pose




So-------------
to clarify. club night. we hit the opening of a new club
1) linda and ganz. (if in doubt, ask me about it).
2) a couple so beautiful they make me weep. and someone who looks good in specs and doesn't even know it
3) linda ganz gave me a much-deserved finger (long story but i deserved it, and loved it)

ShagMarryBridge
RULES (for two or more people)
1. pick 3 people (works best with 3 dashingly attractive or 3 hideously repulsive)
2. contestants must battle with their demons and decide
a. who they will SHAG , just the once mind you.
b. who they will MARRY ie spend the rest of their lives with but never foray between the sheets with.
c. throw off a BRIDGE

BANGKOK
dragged reluctant tom and up for it welsh wench to the city's swishest bar...
take note: the girls aren't really girls and that isn't really me with er..funny hat thing.
NEW YEAR
quite literally the ocean and i. after losing the key to a hired scooter. i hitched a ride back with some friendly thais at the back of their truck. time 11:35pm. got a spare key. pegged it back. made a mad dash to the beach. got hit by a truck. bounced back. unscathed. made it in the water in the nick of time but without finding my posse. result. NY alone. how very garbo-esque.


TOM
my companion in my misadventures
he hates blogs so he'll never have a chance to berate me that he's on this one
we mutually kicked each other's arses in chess, backdammon and ping pong
he drove at the back of my scooter and funded my opium habit.
love him






LAOS
caves with buddhas and hiddern waterfalls, which i neglected to photograph.
i scampered up and down them bare foot and threw myself wholeheartedly and fully dressed in the several clear water pools.




THE CAPITAL OF LAOS
and my feet getting "aired"





THE JOURNEY TO LAOS -- THE LAND THAT TIME FORGOT
this involved
- 3rd class overnight to the thai-lao border
- a trot and a skip across the friendship bridge
- 100 miles on a speedboat along the mekong
-100 miles of dirt roads on the roof a truck/bus with a squealing pig at my feet
RESULT -- bliss
