Last Night...
...was a very confronting song for a blossoming 15 year old girl to deal with. Az Yet should be ashamed of themselves. And every 15 year old boy desperate to conquer the girl of his affections would include this song on his 'dedication mix tape'. That's just gross.
Anyways, last night we went to dinner at the house of K & J. K is a music teacher by day, but has such a passion for his art that he gives Stu free guitar lessons on Sunday mornings, so that they can jam a bit and discuss their passion for the Beatles. In a funny coincidence, I work with a girl who was one of his students.
K would love to put some of Stu's brainy talents to work, and so invited us to dinner to discuss the possibility of Stu tutoring his students in some of the intricacies of small business management, most specifically, creating websites as effective tools for developing, managing and promoting music businesses.
Stu used to tutor 1st year students while he was completing his degree, so this was no drama.
So most of the evening was dedicated to chardonnay and great chatter. They have an amazing collection of Japanese artifacts, given to them by the numerous exchange students they've hosted over the years. I was delighted to see handfans and geta (wooden thongs) decorating every surface.
J created a lovely meal... lots of good appetisers, dinner was chicken rolled in puff pastry, cheesy potatoes, Greek salad, garlic bread, and dessert was sticky date pudding. I can't tell you how guilty I feel today! I was a good guest, I had a great time, but oh, anyone trying to slim would look at that list of foods in horror!
I don't hold much hope for a good result this weekend!
