feeling like a fat chic!
okay - so what do you call inviting people to join you for drinks afterwork (these same people actually say yes) and arriving at the "libation place" at the libation hour - and well NOBODY shows up. so a half hour into waiting for these "buddies" to join you - you call them to find out "where the @$%LL are you?" oh we're minutes away - so you wait, wait, wait, and next thing you know another 15-20 mins have gone by...your phone rings and it's not even who you were expecting to call - but it is a salvation some small relief that someone does actually respect you and want your company...so I join them at their table...and guess what - finally the "late ones" arrive and well guess what it starts to rain a little bit and most of the remaining seats are well out in the weather...so ....they say - you know what we're gonna go...big lesson learned about these "buddies."

Nevertheless, it was a delightful evening, i got a shiney new polish done...had two wonderful Butter Apple Martinis along with the Ahi Katsu and Warm Spinach Salad...and the company though unexpected was just peachy...also got to catch-up with a few faces/friends from my past who happen to be Na Hoku Hanohano award winners the multitalented Ernie Cruz, Jr. and Barry Flanagan...that definitely made me feel better.

I'm still writing off those who ditched me....their loss.

okay - i am so pleased cause - i have finally resolved the missing archives problem - whoopee! now for those of you who just found me - or who've missed a few rivetting chapters of the Let's Talk Story: Shoot Da Breeze you can read it all!!!

the tea was very interesting - quite a deal for $10 donation. interestingly enough - i got to see an old acquaintance - Edward. Quite a soulful individual - who is indeed a little difficult to figure out...i also got to see Cheryl Bartlett whom I had the pleasure of acting with in Island Skin Songs in 1999. I especially enjoyed her interpretation in dance - of Jewell's "Jupiter".
