What started as a quick drop-in to The Burren for a beer with the Murder gang morphed into a full night out with all the trimmings. mafaldarose's boyfriend was playing with his band in the front room of the burren, and gringoddess's little'un was cavorting cutely along with a sizable representation of other children. It reminded me of a casual wedding, with kids and drinking adults all mixed together.


mafaldarose invited me to a party out in Brookline but I sadly bowed out due to the distance, only to be wisked off shortly afterward by pheromone to a party right around the corner. It was a party of beautiful and sexy people (not the least of which were we two babes!) in a beautiful and sexy apartment that I coveted. I got to meet many interesting people, and out of some odd coincidence,5 or 6 of the men I was introduced to were named James or Jim. I have business cards in my purse from Jameses whose faces I now can't match to the cards. It was a blast, but around midnight I said my goodbyes and went home because I was at that level of intoxication where my sensibility and reserve have a way of crumbling fast. Several yummy kisses made nice souvenirs, however.

Apropos of nothing above, but welcome back ex-pat cometsong, who returns stateside this weekend. Sorry about the baboon skittering back into the White House while you were gone. We tried.

There's a T@F steering committee meeting in a little while, and then I have to take care of all the travel related stuff I was supposed to do yesterday.

I love having extroverts on my friends list, because then I get to read all about fun parties and nights out like that. :-D :-D I have to admit, though, that I'm a bit jealous of your ability to work a party or two like that. I feel accomplished if I make a five-minute conversation with the other person sitting shyly in the corner, never MIND getting business cards and souvenir kisses!

Glad you had an awesome time! I am content with living vicariously. :-P

Oh, I have shy moments too. I was an extremely extroverted child, then went into a phase of on-and-off shyness that lasted until my 20's. I still have one infuriating shyness, which only kicks in when I'm in the presence of a man I'm interested in. I can barely speak, and when I finally force myself, what comes out of my mouth is invaribly something patently retarded. I remember one car ride (oh God) when I was literally mute sitting next to my dream man (of the time). He broke the horrible silence by talking about the song playing on the radio, and I just sort of squeeked in reply -- it as all I could do. That fish got away, as you might have guessed.

But yes, shyness can take many years to overcome. Booze helps.

Bring along the cards and I'll let you know which James is which.

I'm glad you could make it this time. I stayed somewhat later than you and more good times were had.
