Well, not THAT long ago ...

WOW!!! That was quite literally over a month ago ...
Am sitting at Rumpus Room again awaiting for the ambient joys of 'Music geekz' to begin, the monthly 4ZZZ get together to showcase music too arty or weird to hear anywhere else ... Besides, also a great opportunity to drink some Mercury Cider and see what is happening in the suburb of West End ... Seems to be more and more changes going on every time I look - there is a City Cycle station outside the Boundary Hotel ... Which does arouse an interesting mental picture of drinking solidly, then getting on a bike and pedalling homewards ... Hmm, the whole idea of drunk in charge of a vehicle suddenly sounds almost plausible ...
The casual Xmas party was yesterday arvo at Zena's (oddly enough, around the corner from where Dani used to get on), but there were less than ten there ... But I am guessing that a lot more than that had paid $10, but just not turned up? Was a rather incredibly wet and wild afternoon, weather wise, anyway ... Although, the tiramisu that Richard bought along had a bottle of Kahlua in it, so it proved a rather strong ending to the afternoon ... Also got to drink some of these 'fruit tingles' (vodka + Blue Curoca?) that Zena made, along with a cheeky bottle of Pinot Noir. Also took along some Brie + crackers, but I was the only one who ate it ... Oh, well, suppose at least somebody enjoyed it ...
Then left with Skyy and Trent, except it turned out that Skyy was actually going out elsewhere, and Trent was going to come back to get Zena so that they could go out somewhere else, so I tagged along to see what happened ... Ended up at the Casino, eating a seafood platter, drinking mango slushies, listening to the tales of betwitchment, and bewilderment ... All this bacchanalia was at least compensated in some way by my riding Bernini across the bridge, and then around the river. Was so good that at the end, I stopped at uGees, and thought to myself that I could easily go a bit further ... So now all I need to do is keep doing it again. And again. And again ...
