One Night in Frankfurt and Leaving London

Vlad, CMC and I ventured out into Frankfurt last night, briefly. We had dinner at a quaint little restaurant called Fraggle. We were served by a charming little lesbian lady who was very sweet and funny. The restaurant was cool and came complete with a tranny dining alone. After that we went to a couple bars and had a few drinks, nothing too heavy. We were back at the hotel by 11.

When we were winding up the last few details and getting ready to leave London, something struck me. I was suddenly aware of how much I'm going to miss people and my life there. And it's mainly for this reason: day to day you aren't aware of the narrative components to your life and your friends' but when you disrupt your life and prepare to leave you are suddenly aware of what you're going to miss. And it's not the day to day seeing of people but they continued involvement in their life narrative. It sounds a bit wanky and I don't know how else to describe it.

But if they used to say, "Workers of the world unite!" then we also say today, "Capitalists of the world, assume your social responsibility!" I'm intrigued by both of these ideas. The former mainly because I it reminds me of the UK government bailing out failing mortgage lender Northern Rock earlier in the year and the recent US

Ølsen in Buenos Aires

Well Ølsen last night was great. It's in a stunning old warehouse with extremely tall ceilings and Scandinavian simplicity. The garden is a particular treat and a delight to enjoy when arriving. The food was good, although I wouldn't say that best and possibly not worth the price, it's not cheap, but the sharing starters with mini vodka shots were very good. After Ølsen, I came home and watched telly. I seem to becoming nocturnal.
