What did you do last night? (This is How We Roll) - Page 5

God, my life is dull, unexciting, and uninteresting. I never roll, ever. SIGH

Smoking a hookah now, enjoying Scoop Deville ice cream, Remy Martin XO, and Van Morrison's Into the Music, after a middling dinner at Le Jardin in Philadelphia. The rolling has yet to begin.

minya, when you're wearing purple and green bapestas, you're always rolling.

Still at work

That's an excellent point. That's probably the subconscious reason for me buying them.

Some drunk dude walking toward me asked me if I was a skinhead last night. I guess I was pretty skinned-out - black flight jacket, Fred Perry polo buttoned up, Uniqlo dark jeans, black EG brogue boots, herringbone flatcap. I didn't really plan that, it just ended up that way.

But I have a lot of hair. I'm actually growing out the mane lately so I have more than usual even. How can you be a skinhead with hair?

Ladies and gentlemen, today's Zen koan.

Last night I went to the Starry Night Ball, sponsored by the Chinese governement especially for us Foreign Experts. It resembled a high school prom. They played elevator music and the macarena. Yes, I danced the macarena last night. Still, a good time was had by all.

I was the personal stylist for two of my friends. Both had professed near ignorance when it comes to wearing suits. I helped them get suits made (left-Shenzhen tailor, Jantzen shirt; right-Bangkok tailor.) I'm still new at this, but I think they look pretty darn good

Had another couple come out for the night. Put the kids to bed and we had a fantastic dinner and managed to get stinking drunk! We had 7 bottles of wine between the 4 of us plus a pre-dinner cocktail.

We all had a great time and fortunately didn't feel too bad in the morning. I was even asked to be the godfather for my friends son, which I gladly agreed to.

hopefully, not everyone was "stinking drunk", or, if so, there was a designated driver.

Met a girl this weekend. Not met per se; she lives with a friend of mine, but this weekend was the first time I really talked to her one-on-one at a few of the parties I saw her at. Beautiful girl, and very engaging. We share a lot of similar interests and quirks, but we are also different enough for their to be attraction.

Things moved very very quickly - I did not expect any of this to happen. Ended up going back to my place at around 6am or so, stayed up for a few hours, I'll spare you the next details, and afterwards she had brought up the question of this being a random hookup, or possibly more. I, having been single for a few years, have come to enjoy the single life and the independence to do as I wish. Normally I wouldn't consider a relationship, especially after knowing someone for a short time. However, I cannot get her off my mind.

I realize that over the past few years, I have met a very small number of girls I could see myself with long-term, or would even want to try a relationship with. Even though I have only known this girl for a short time, I can immediately tell that there is a lot of chemistry, and I get a feeling that I haven't felt in a while. I have no idea what will happen, but I want to give it a shot. I spent the whole day with her today, and we have planned some future dates. Hopefully something good comes of this.

good luck

good luck to you too

Yep - good luck to you both, VMan and M@t...

Eventful weekend on the tiles on my part - still recovering, will report back.
