I know, I have this blog in my listing to the side (as if anyone links FROM my page, hard enough slog to get links to it LOL) but hadn't read it for almost a week, and just the way Brando writes, completely blew me away - to have that quality of writing and humour for a whole week, well, I am just Garth with the I'm not worthy worship, or Foxy Lady fainting - Wayne's World reference of course...
I wasn't actually going to write tonight, feeling a bit tired, but suddenly got inspired or something :)
Yesterday was the last day of eye candy MG at work hmmph. She flies out Friday to do the Grand Tour of SE Asia, North America and Europe, gone for eight months and has actually resigned from the company. Went over to the local pub after work to drink goodbye to her, on a school night and all as well, bad Pauly bad. Had a reasonable turn out, and I behaved myself, didn't get drool on the tie or anything - was mainly talking to SW and MC, the party of five that started out socialising out of my intake has shrunk to three, and with the way SW feels about KW hmm, don't think I will be expanding that social group anytime soon...
Although seriously, I'm pretty easy going to start socialising and stuff, it is just that I get nervous about the undercurrents of any such thing, like do they REALLY like me or is this just a mutual cover group for the people that don't have real friends to hang out with - let alone all the neuroses I have when an attractive woman is 'in play' as it were.
Met MG's sister and the sister's boyfriend, they seemed nice, and had a nice chat with them before more familiar people turned up. Also saw MG's actual boyfriend as well, and yes, I am jealous in a sense and wondering whether that was the one she broke up with all those months ago, but OMG, he looked like one of the extra's off an Arnie movie, AFTER the Terminator, Predator, Martian atmosphere had gotten to them. Big slab of a boy with a very pockmarked but somehow flat head and face. Not meaning to be mean, and if that is what makes you/her happy, go for gold, but just the general impression. And his mate looked like an American football player's body without needing the actual padding, with a Shaggy off Scooby Doo head on him - hmm, never seen that body type before, truth be told - obviously I work in too rareified and snooty an atmosphere in the office LOL. If I say anymore, it will just come across as mean, so I will shut up...
Farewelled MG with a doubles game of pool, SW and I playing against her and KD. I thought it was a suitable send off, in it's own little way, because that night, SW's birthday last year, sticks in my mind because was first time I had really talked to MG, and that was over the pool table as well. I obviously make too much out of the little things eh? Got a wave when she, MG, left for the evening, best way I think rather than to be too obvious with a hug, especially with the way we were standing, basically behind five other people that I would have had to get through. The travel diary went around the table adding names, addresses and emails, so that's quietly subtle enough for me LOL, if she wants to send an email she can, if not then we will always have the pool table LOL - and yes, my mind just went into the gutter then, bad Pauly bad :)
SW and I had a good conversation again last night, two bourbons and a ride on the train to the suburbs together, things are back on track on that front after a few weeks of quiet contemplation.
The last couple of weeks I have hardly commented on any actual news events, and I hear everybody give a sigh of relief at that, but may get back into it later in the week. There is just so much going on, with Israel and Palestine and Lebanon and Syria and the US Supreme Court outlawing executions for crimes committed before the age of 18 - 5 to 4 though, no doubt that will get overturned in six months when one of the 'liberal' justices retires LOL - oh, and the Pope continuing to mimic the movie Weekend At Bernies LOL - he is NOT looking well, and it is all very well for Vatican spokesmen to say that he was talking to him in German and Italian - for all John Paul is understandable nowadays, he might as well be talking Swahili. When he goes, I just hope it isn't too painful...
Oh, and the story that piqued my interest over the last couple of days is the US Administration sticking its heels in, wanting to derail a gender equality UN conference, Beijing plus Ten as it is probably known, because it can't even let itself contemplate the fact that outside of US territory there may be places where abortion is legal LOL. And that is probably the kiss of death for a blog, bringing abortion and the death penalty in here...
Later taters
