so, i went to another private equity cocktail/h'orderves reception...last thursday, i went to a reception at an art museum...just a room full of people in groups of two, three, and four mingling and acting interested in what the other person is saying while trying to figure out the right time to extract themselves from the conversation let alone from the entire event...art unfortunately wasn't really paid any attention to...
tonight, i went to another private equity sponsored reception...this time it was at the top floor of their offices near piccadilly circus...the theme of this party was spain...apparently because nadal won wimbledon/french and spain won euro 2008...and there were flamenco dancers there and the food was all spanish themed with minature empanadas, chorizos and other meats...
however, still the same ol' bankers, accountants, lawyers, oh my...all trying to manuever and talk their way to a future coffee, cocktail, meeting, round of golf, football or rugby game with a prospective client...fake laughs all around...brilliantly framed and phony inquisitive questions buzzing in the air...and tired ol' answers offered out to warrant another phony inquisition...
but it was fine...i had flowing sangria and food handed to me everywhere i turned...i am a little buzzed right now...but hopefully i won't be hung over tomorrow like last week...the buzz took the boring away...no buzz means more boring...snoozefest i tell you...
so, how are you?

im doing well. thanks for asking.
"receptions" are like playing Fruit Basket Upset- everyone just waits to switch places and scramble for a better vantage point. But what do I know, I work in non-profit. It reminds me a lot of dating (ha!)
can we suggest post topics? Mine would be pics of gustardo at the park and about town. I would show beru, truly- and he'd most likely wuffle the screen.
