 1131 - fun!

I had a good time last night--very late night, but fun.

Poly dinner at La Madelaine. I think everyone liked it except Kat.
Bless her pointed little head. Last night she was doing chain mail
and ignoring people. Jeez.

New guy, Vadim. He was very nice. Kind of reminded me of Tom with all
his quoting of movie lines & pop culture references. Everything's an
in-joke. He was cool.

Had a good visit with Markus and Victoria and Debbie & Joe. Got to
hear about Z's party--sounds like I missed a very good time :(

I might do a workshop at Poly Big Fun; Angela got a piece of dark
chocolate torte (sacher cake?) and we all said how yummy it looked &
I remarked that it would be better with a glass of port. "dark
chocolate & port is better than sex" I opined. markus disagreed with
me. Sam said something about having a recipe for chocolate body
paint. I said I had a whole recipe file of edible body products, and
Markus asked if I wanted to do a workshop on it. Angela suggested i
just make a couple of recipes & give out a printout of the others. Hm.

I got super caffeinated & said silly/clever things. It was fun.
Markus said he needed to have coffee at his next party. This older
guy came by our table & asked whose birthday it was. we were
all 'deer in headlights' for a second, then I raised my hand &
said "me!". He said "really?" and I said "no. But you can spank me if
you want to!" which made everyone giggle. It was great fun.

I really enjoy being chemically altered. Too much probably.

After dinner, I went to Jason's apt, and we went in his car to
Elysium, where we listened to 80s music & people-watched & talked. It
was great fun. He had to get to work at 6 am, and we were at the club
until almost 12:30.

I am pretty beat today...but in a good way. It was great fun.

Fulco di Verdura: A Vanity
Petrified by a fiery testament
crystals piled one atop another
in a jagged pile are a flamboyance
Lian de Pougy cracked one with
her teeth. Demoiselle Orlandi hung
two about her neck on a lapis hook.
Mathilde de Morny tucked one between
her lover's legs. Paquerette held
slivers in Picasso's paint box.
Caryathis set hers on a dish
between two ripe tomatoes.
They exhaled a crystal breath
that cooled poppies and stopped
rains from entering wells.
When they walked moons
stumbled into tides
and streets fell into manholes.
Then di Verdura came and gathered
them into his pestle
and from the flotsam tooled a brace
of high-cooked mica dolphins,
twisted them into manacles
and bound the hands and lacquered
ankles of all the fairies in the Bois de Boulonge.
