On Saturday we went to Taynah and Rafa's for their Alice in Wonderland-themed birthday party, which was most amusing - Gaby went as the Cheshire Cat, Taynah as the Mad Hatter, Rafa doing some sterling cross-dressing as Alice, and I went as the White Rabbit (or the Playboy logo, depending on your perspective). We helped with the set-up, including some very elaborate world-building on the rooftop terrace and tiny syringe-filled cocktail bottles marked "Drink Me", and had a grand old time with other oddly-dressed souls.
In other news I've been haggling with the DMV for a new, permanent driver's licence (having gone a year without mowing anyone down), letting plumbers in to bash down our walls in search of a leaky pipe, coming to terms with a new phone that actually works, and trying to sellotape my ribs together for good. We also went en famille to check out the new Burger King that's opened up in front of Ridaut and Adny's building, and shake them down for protection money in the process, obviously. Exciting times...
My phrase of the day translates as "a dog with two owners starves to death", a rather morbid spin on "too many cooks spoil the broth" that seems to have been adopted by corporate types to warn against appointing too many middle managers to delegate basic tasks. I've no cause to use it. And it's a Chris Cornell tribute special with not one but two compilations, if you can play them...
That'll do, pig.
