Délicieux:Paris Goings on ~ Feb2009

Délicieux:Paris Goings on
by Orsolya Jakabne

Célébration Fête Nationale 2009
Exciting times around amore eroma, kis babák! We’re seeing some pretty amazing changes in the offices of Délicieux! Scope creep has seen some rather large scale changes coming from some rather small scale happenings. After the bomb threat in 2008, we’ve had to up our security and that’s made some people very upset. The simian asswipe that thought the threat was a good idea was caught, but his legacy of hate has made it difficult to manage security as a whole at Délicieux. We’ve tried to keep things normal, but are honestly afraid of lowering our standards in today’s harsh economic climate.
Sadly, Célébration Fête Nationale 2009 has been canceled this year. We cannot risk another event going awry this July. HOWEVER, we are planning to roll out some smaller events to ease the pain and keep our Délicieux:Paris patrons happy, healthy, well fed and dancing! Stay tuned.

Stars in my Eyes: Délicieux star sightings
Luc Besson (1997, The Fifth Element, The Transporter) shared a quiet meal with friends recently. He loved the strawberry mousse!
Mr. and Mrs. Depp dined and danced the night away, slipping away into private as the crowds tried to peep respectfully. Yes, Délicieuxites did very well giving Johnny and Vanessa their privacy. Good form. Thank you! The illusive and beautiful couple seemed happy to have their privacy and seemed very happy with their surroundings.

pOp v. Délicieux ? Nem! (No!)
No, kis babák! amore eroma’s pOp in Prague is NOT fighting it out with Délicieux. We’re not sure where this rumor was started, but there is no validity to it whatsoever. amore eroma is a happy family and Paris and Prague will not be going to war any time soon. As a matter of fact, we’re working on a Cross Pollination project that both bistros will benefit from! Stay tuned, Babies!

"Duke" the duck.

I kid you not. This guy was walking his duck down the street on Clement in San Francisco one night. It was a busy sidewalk and the duck stayed about this close the full time. The man walked across the street with it and it followed close at his heel, walking as fast as his little duck legs could carry him. The guy said he'd had Duke for a while and had just trained him to walk with him like this.

I’m going to go out on a limb here.

I think FACEBOOK is the comb-over of 2009. There. I said it.

Don’t get me wrong. I think that there are some major upsides to Facebook as well. You can see what people are up to without actually talking to them. You can drop “status bombs” on people and leave them wondering what the HELL is up. “Susan is wondering where to bury the body” or “Tim wondering if he’ll still have a wife tomorrow” – items like that. This is ideal for attention hounds looking for words of hope and cheers of “HANG IN THERE!”

There are good things about Facebook. No flashing backgrounds like MySpace, for one. I’m old. I know it when I look at my daughter’s MySpace page when she’s working on it and I feel like I’m going to have a seizure a la the 111 people that went into fits back in 1997 watching Pokemon! “YES! I see the flashing! Stop it!” At least Facebook lays there and pretends to be more adult. A façade of maturity. Of course, all that’s blown to hell when someone posts pictures of themselves at a party doing keg stands in a dress. “Oh, hi there.”

Am I just getting older? Am I losing my cool – what little there ever was of it. I drive a Yaris now and love it. I am at work right now listening to music from the 80s on imeem and thinking back to “the good old days”. The 80s was over TWENTY years ago. Twenty.
Ronald Reagan. The median household income in the US was $23,618. Madonna was on “The Virgin Tour” albeit a few years too late. And…British scientists reported that there was an opening of an enormous hole in the earth’s ozone layer over Antarctica. That was all 1985. It all went a little more nutty after that.
In 1986 we had the Challenger explosion, Chernoblyl had it’s little slip, and The Oprah Winfrey Show hit national television. Clearly the beginning of the end.

To hell with Facebook.

I’m not even going to update my status for another hour.
