Le Cirque

First of all, I apologize to all the people I was supposed to call today. The creation of my portfolio for my job interview tomorrow took much much longer than anticipated and I finished around 1 am, standing with a good friend, Galen, in the Kinko's copy shop in downtown Pittsburgh. By then I was starving and since he and his friends were going out anyway, and it's been such a long time since I hung out with them, I went with them to the Eat n' Park.
Upon entering, several very exotic looking fellows, one of which had Cirque du Soleil emblazoned on his back, stood in front of us waiting to be seated. I, being the clairvoyant that I am, guessed that they were somehow involved with Cirque du Soleil, as Varekai is currently in town. (I wanna see! I wanna see!) After sitting at our booth and deliberating with the guys, we decided to have Galen go and ask them if they were part of the Cirque troupe. Galen, feeling embarrassed, chose to drag me along, as I started the whole thing. I hid behind him as he asked about the lovely jacket (which I want) and were rewarded with smiles, handshakes and introductions. (In case you hadn't figured out, they were, in fact, part of le Cirque). I was referred to as "precious" and Galen had "sparkling eyes." Then we went back to our booth where I basked happily in the glow that is Cirque and then a cake suddenly appeared on our table - from the fellows in that booth over there, said the waitress. Mr. Twinkles Galen seemed to have earned us a lovely cake, or maybe I helped, who knows. It was yummy and fattening. Le Cirque bought us cake!
Ok, now I have to sleep so I can wake up in time for my flight.
O yes and when you have no cream, try putting some of your friend's milkshake in your tea. I find it very rich and yummy.
