Hope I've got the right date. Yes, it must be - Lenny Valentine.
Have a great day!

Hugs, Mihangel

Yeah! I agree with Mihangel and Steve...don't "decide" that the book is all written...you can still write more.

Of course, I also agree with Tim, that we shouldn't try and cheer you up so relentlessly, perhaps...consider that we're working on being cheerful ourselves...

I go back to Hong Kong on Saturday, and return to the whirlwind that is my office right now. So I am a bit sad. But also, of course, grateful that I have a lover and a good job to feel bitter-sweet about!

Hope you had a good one. I forgot it might already be the 15th now wherever you are!

I was pretty moody first part of the day, but at four or so in the afternoon I took a nice shower and shaved, and then got out of my apartement. I was going to spoil myself a bit by buying the soundtracks to Gladiator and Unbreakable - two favorite movies of mine that also happens to have amazing scores.

Unfortunately, I could not find either, so I placed an order instead. I then window-shopped until seven when I went over to my one (!) friend who still lives here in town, whom with I was going to have dinner at a restaurant along with his wife and 1 1/2-year-old daughter.

Well, we did, and it was thoroughly enjoyable too. His child dropped a porcelaine spoon on the floor and it went ka-poof of course, but apart from that the evening proceeded without incident. My friend even paid for the meal. Back at his place, I was again treated, with home-made apple pie and custard this time - yum - and I got a present too, a nice book.

I had been thinking of buying it myself, but never gotten around to it; "Fallen Dragon" by Peter F. Hamilton. (A british fellow whom writes most excellent sci-fi I must say. Anyone here read him?) A perfect gift, one could say...

Afterwards, we had green tea and just sat there and talked about everything and nothing.


Overall, I actually did enjoy myself after all. Thanks to all who sent me a thought, here on the board or otherwise. I appreciate it immensely.

Good for you. Kids help keep us from taking ourselves too seriously.  [message #978 is a reply to message #973] Fri, 15 February 2002 20:13 Go to previous message
