Carlton

[jack]

And while I'm spodding, I went to the carlton. I hadn't for a couple of weeks, but it turned out I was just in the right mood and had a great evening.

I had little to drink -- one dionysus, and some lemonade and lime (why is that bad? it's the refreshingest drink of them all! :)) and lots of water -- but felt a bit spaced and slûrry[1] anyway. Maybe I should have had more of a dinner.

Naath is back from essex, welcome home! :) I chatted to Naath and Tom and Mr Janet (name?) about buying houses and whom Japan is in debt to; and thanked the last for having s Horlogette because that prompted Owen to suggest I get one.

I spoke to filecoreinuse for ages, which was lovely. I remember when first knew him as "Boyfriend of Jennie" but now I run into him in the carlton more often than I see her. Also said hi to caesium (I think).

I dragged out of Mobbsy and sonic a description of how Play.com was taking over the world. Scary, in so many ways.

I met Verity, who was nice. So *that*'s who lives in the Gallery.

[1] I mean "slurry" as in "slurred" not as in the semiliquid barnyard refuse. My browser choked on the IPA letter I think I should have used, so here's AHD because that's where dictionary.com took me :( How *should* I differentiate those words? Is there a difference in vowel or should I have used a stress mark?

I wasn't *complaining* about the lime+lemonade, just surprised (it's been about 14 years, as I say).

Sorry, that was a humorous exagaration, but you seemed shocked to see someone drinking it 14 years on and I just wondered why (we got shanghaied by another conversation before you said :)). To me it seems like a very nice nonalchoholic drink, if you don't feel like coke or something standard, and I wanted to buy *something* to pay them for my three hours in the bar, and have have something tasty and hydrating :)

nice = essence of pure green, but not sickly green like aftershock can be, but pure clear natural green, the green equivalent of a cerulean mountain stream or cherenkov[1] radiation :)

[1] What? It happens naturally :)
