Cruising with noodles


Today the girls had fun .. we were driving home from a party with the rest of the noodle salad. Suddenly our ears were accosted by really loud music coming out of a convertible invariably containing four slimy men with oily hair. We imagined dumping a whole bucket of noodle salad into their car at the next light. Alas...we did not have enough. But lo! we did still have a couple of noodles and started throwing them. Missed, though. The rest of the journey we amused ourselves by aiming noodles at unsuspecting cyclists and pedestrians and the occasional obnoxious convertible (what is it with "top down, music up"?). Imagine the possibilities of a whole bowl of noodle salad! Cruising along Leopoldstraße...windows down...elbow noodles out. I imagine it could become a trend.

The party we were invited to, by the way, was in the best apartment I have seen in a long time. It was up on the fourth floor and had a terrace as large as our apartment, I think. I had to imagine what it must be like when the sun is shining and you're lying in your hammock with a book, looking out over the roofs of the city and I felt a little bit envious. People at the party were a bit strange, though. Couples. Pregnant woman. Doctors. Grumpy Girlfriend. (I've met this girl on numerous occasions, never so far have I seen her say anything and she looks NOT AMUSED the whole time. The first time I thought it was our fault because we didn't try to integrate her enough. But I've seen her often enough to realize that it's not the case. Doesn't seem to faze her boyfriend, though. We thought that maybe we should try this approach and tried to practise, but we couldn't stop talking long enough :)

This is what you would see if you were one. Space Mouse, though.
