yang's birthday
got home at midnight (couldn't face walking home and haven't got the money for a taxi so i had to get the train). dad was just going to bed, so i asked him whether he'd remembered nanny's birthday. surprise, surprise... ah well
yang's party was good. the ice cream cake was hilarious. it was packed in dry ice and frozen completely solid. now yang's part of the microbiology (or some such) lab. so this bunch of scientists was trying to ... (what's the word? cut doesn't quite fit) the cake. the bread knife was rejected when it barely scratched the cake, rejected in favour of the saw... a big, scary looking, slightly rusty saw... but that failed too :-) the cake was stronger! even when the saw was used as a pick and hammered down into (or not) the cake (although they couldn't find the hammer, can't remember what was used). finally the cake was defeated by this oddly shaped implement someone fetched from the lab. turned out afterwards it was a gel knife (or gel something anyway) which is used to pry slides apart, not really something you want anywhere near your food... luckily we didn't know that before we ate the cake ;-) and the guy it belonged to said 'i washed it! i even used soap!'
two of yang's friends from the states came over and the one of them got tipsy on one sip of champagne. asians... ;-) the swiss girl who got very tipsy (not quite drunk) after a small bottle of beer was also very entertaining :-)
one of the girls videoed the attack on the cake and she's going to put it on youtube when she gets back to the states. she'll have to edit it first though since no-one'll going to sit through the whole thing, half the people had left by the time the first piece was cut even when there was a chance of ice cream... :-)
good evening that :-D
