We guess it was just as well that 2008 started off with a 'bang' - one that made headlines for the last couple of days. Written in big enough letters in newspapers, and shouted loud enough on telly, and some of it might just pierce our politico-apathic head.
Which was good.
Not good for the fellow caught with his pants down (or goodness knows where his pants went). Good for us, because then we know what's going on.
Because around the dinner table with colleagues and guests, one of the easiest icebreaking topics is normally the news. So if it was some other humdrum news we would have been very much lost at sea wondering wtf is happening who is that they're talking about what shit is this argh where's the newspaper?
Well thankfully this was the bangin' news of 2008 so we knew what was going on and the likes. Just made enough idle chat to keep ourselves in the loop, like wondering were there one or two girls, weren't there free dvds given out, really kah got four cameras, is it still online?
Oh, must remember, the term 'personal friend' now must be used extra carefully. Lust, Caution indeed.
Maybe it's because they don't happen to be friends we know well enough, we don't speak openly (egads, the conversation we're having with Adrien and the Young Seraphim, it's so not us!). Of course, among friends the conversations run in different topics in the first place. Yes yes we know we should read the news dammit.
Guess it's best we keep our drinks nearby. That way we can always keep our mouths busy in a socially polite way without actually partaking in conversation we have no frickin' idea what, except for the bits where we just laugh or smile or nod in agreement.

Oops... typo mistake... Add in food to that drink, so that your mouth will be busy chewing food!
By the way, I just notice this one particular word (mouths):
"Guess it's best we keep our drinks nearby. That way we can always keep our mouths busy in a socially polite way without actually partaking in conversation we have no frickin' idea what, except for the bits where we just laugh or smile or nod in agreement."
Gosh! Oh my Jehovah! How many mouths do you have? Did Jehovah really created you differently from the rest of us?
wishing you (there's no plural for you? (since you are an "us") YOUS? YALL?) a very happy and fantastic 2008.
see you someday in body combat.
I know one or two tricks to keep your mouth busy....just get you a free drink.
Well thank goodness there's no C4 involved this time round...

4 camera angles in a hotel room, reminds me of the hotel room scene from 'Die Another Day' and the chinese intelligence could only afford one camera.
