The Drama of Love
Whenever I hear of teens falling in love, I use Romeo and Juliet as a point of reference. It helps me get over my cynicism.
I’m not sure why the story of the sixteenth century lovers who died to be together alleviates my belief that betrothals under the age of forty constitute a starter marriage. Perhaps their drama simply reminds me that people are capable of falling in love – at any age.
Date, Step Aside
It seems the paparazzi have a way with words, not just cameras.
Apparently, in order for freelance photographers to snap shots of celebrities independent of their non-celebrity escorts, it is not uncommon for them to sing out, “Date, step aside!”
No Apparent Perving
I had dinner with the girlfriends last night. The discussion turned to one of the friend’s latest date. It seems he has Marie Antoinette’s hubby’s trouble: shyness.
After a couple of dates, the fella in question still hasn’t engaged in any below-the-neck eyeballing activity. This has maddened my girlfriend.
Fifth Wheel – With Feel
Best friends, Isa and Greg, asked me to dinner on Saturday night. Another couple was invited too. Nikov was working, and so that meant I’d be the fifth wheel.
“I don’t want to be the fifth wheel.” I told Isa. “Being the with feel … Oh God, see!” I trilled, realizing my verbal blunder. ”Being the fifth frigging wheel is sooo fraught with feelings a spoonerism slips right out of my mouth!”
Birthday Gifts
Nicole and Keith tied the knot this weekend in Sydney. And just as I hoped, they married within days of my birthday. How auspicious is that!
Maybe it’s not auspicious at all. But then again, I did spot a small jewelry box over at Nikov’s house this past weekend and I know he knows my day is this Wednesday.
Believe it or Not
Aussie Actress, Nicole Kidman, is getting married in the dark in Sydney at the end of this month.
Can you believe that news flash?! A celeb wedding in the dark so that the paparazzi can’t take any pics!
Roll on V-day
Just as one red-festooned celebration is over in this country, it’s the next.
I’ve barely paused from nattering on about my Chrissie holiday and now we’re peering down the calendar at February 14th!
