Sunday, January 26, 2003 After an afternoon with Melissa (we watched "Pay it forward" on DVD at my place) I went out with M.A. It was an early night. A short stop at Opal. Way too much food and too much cold at Go Sushi. Another stop at 252. The crowd was barely 21 and M.A. was not in the mood, so here I am. I've just signed for him to get the keys to my place tomorrow morning so he can start preparing lunch while I sleep. I also took the opportunity to explain the 911 call to the bewildered doorman and was happy to realize that the same thing happened o some Japanese girls on the 30 something floor. Guests are expected at about 2 PM tomotrrow and I should be up a little before that, in time to move some pieces of furniture around to make room for everybody. I already bought a cake and a couple of bottles of wine, not to mention plenty of snacks. M.A. mentioned going to the Park in the morning before going grocery shopping for the paella. I love the idea and would love to be able to do it. I also know there is no chance whatsover of me getting up early enough to go for a stroll before everybody show up demanding to be fed. Lets just hope the subject of war will not creep into the conversation tomorrow. It already did today and we had a go at it. I just hate it when people start a sentence with some generic "we" like everytdoby agrees with them. Usually I am the one who disagrees. I happen to disagree with most people 99% of the time and I take offense at somebody else pretending to speak for me. Take the present situation, for example. I do disagree with engaging in a war in Iraq but for none of the reasons most people seem to take for granted.. I am not against "American imperialism", I am not against the U.S. being the police of the world, I am not againt intervening in non democratic countries. I happen to think America does not do enough or well enough. Hardly a popular standpoint for a conversation with Europeans or South Americans. In any case, I should try to get some sleep now and leave the debate for tomorrow. 1:13 AM
