let me just give you a brief recap of this week (i will leave the formal explication of last night's festivities to the good biscuit, who i'm sure will have more interesting things to say than i):

TUESDAY NIGHT: drinks and dinner with one of the spectres from my past, the indomitable pianist. he remains one of the prettiest boys i've ever seen, and it absolutely charming company. i arrived home late, and drunk. of course.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: pre-show filming for the graham norton show, wherein i stood around the edges of a boxing ring and screamed a lot and drank beer. not as good as biscuit's story, but fun nonetheless. lamentably, i had to escape early, however, as i was due at a screening in midtown by 7:30. needless to say, i didn't wangle my escape from chelsea until a few minutes past seven, so my cinematic preamble consisted of me cursing the MTA and sprinting down fifth avenue at top speed. i arrived on time, but only just barely. that was also where dom presented me with The Book, and i nearly knocked him down the stairs with the thank-you hug. also, we ran into one of the guys from the letdowns, which is always a joy. so yes. eventful evening.

THURSDAY NIGHT: taping of graham norton. i got to see elijah wood in the flesh, as well as john malkovich. i also got to see biscuit and flex be the superstars of the show, as well as confess on international television to having engaged in some sort of sexual act in a cinema. all in all, good fun, particularly when you consider that my evening was capped with middle eastern food and wedding cake. and whiskey.

FRIDAY NIGHT: theoretically, tonight i am orchestrating a small reunion of a few of my friends from high school, including roos, scully, and the eighth grade love of my life. i suspect this is going to be a long and probably drunken evening.

after that, i don't plan to do a goddamn thing for two days. i'm turning off my phone, unplugging the computer, and just being quiet. ha ha ha.
