Dinner at home with the girlfriends whom I love dearly.
Stuffed roasted peppers, beet and caramelized onion tart, garden pasta with oxheart tomatoes, chunks of fabulous cheese handcarried from France, warm homebaked sourdough bread, a most interesting homemade quindim, and an amazing cobbler of fresh peaches and blueberries.
The conversation ranged from Ai Weiwei to the incredible Congressman Ron Paul who has been providing us with endless entertainment. Then it got sidetracked to how some of us are creeped out by Spejbl and Hurvinek while the rest adore them. Needless to say, there was an intense discussion on a SkyNet scenario, and the topic we couldn't escape from- McLuhan and 'The Gutenberg Galaxy', or what we like to call it- McLuhan 2.0.
Movies for the night were unanimously chosen to be the depressing 'Restrepo' and the refreshingly controversial '12th & Delaware', and pockets of space were found to squeeze in our honest sentiments of both.
It's a wonder how after all these years, we can still be in the same room and not explode in a mish-mash of clashing opinions. It's exhilarating to be in their company.

sorry lady J! your comment got eaten up by blogspot as they do some mega maintenance. i managed it read it before it got wiped out. i like florals in a bowl! easier to just plonk them in and have them float.
