It's vodkay time

Things that amused me today...

Someone I just met told me he enjoyed the "vodkay time" we spent together the night we met. Since I was drinking vodka that night, I assume he meant "vodka time" OR he has just invented a phrase that I will co-opt and repeat ad nauseum until my friends tell me to stop. I am going to run with the latter. Your votes in this matter are welcome but will most likely be ignored. It's vodkay time!

Katherine and I spent a good portion of this morning trying to explain to someone we know that the excuse "I plan to be vile and bitter throughout your bridal shower but if you really want me to come I'll be there" might not be a good response to an RSVP event.

My friend Belinda and I met for drinks with some people we used to work with at Senor Swanky's. Belinda came to the conclusion that she can only Senor Swanky's while speaking with her version of a Mexican accent. She then tried to explain to our friend Mathieu, who has a fairly think French accent, how to say it the same way. It was cute. He really tried.

Just at the moment that I noticed that the umbrellas at the outdoor tables at Senor Swanky's have the words "Celebrity Hangout" written on them, Katie Couric walked by us -- not once, but twice. I think she was waiting for someone to say "Hey, that's Katie Couric." It took me a minute but eventually I was that person. That made her happy and she moved on. So not so much a "celebrity hangout" as a place that celebrities like to walk by. Interesting.
