I realized today that I have the power to control a person's mind. I got a call in the morning asking why I wasn't at work and said I had drunk too much last night and therefore slept in. My agent said "oh.. okay" and hung up.

My girlfriend left for work at 11am (as I was waking up) and said "I'll be back around 5" to which I replied "no you won't".

It wasn't until half past noon that she realized what I meant. I went to her office and told her to come with me. I then drove her up to Santa Monica and walked her into Cezanne. This is how it started:

For starters I ordered lobster bisque and rice paper wrapped salmon with cilantro pesto.
For the main course I ordered baby leaf spinach and creme fraiche for the gf, and haricot vert, fingerling potatoes, balsamic onion, natural jus for myself. We washed this rediculous luncheon down with two cold glasses of sparkling mineral water from the mountains of Tibet.

I dropped her back at the office around 1:45 which gave me just enough time to swing by Andy's to pick up some creme brulee. A buddy called Nicolo was there having a smoke and some coffee. He said "heeey Loop... haven't seen you in a while." I gave him a reason. He then said handed me something folded in a paper bag and said "You'll love this... I know your kinda shit!"

In the car I opened it up. It was dolce far niente. Again!

VIVA LA LUNCH!
