The Sultry Poke of Love

So, we'll have to wait a bit longer to find the winner of the Great Subtitle Prize - this is one that my editor will be the final judge of. In the meantime....David!!!!!

I saw him at this big benefit last night and oh wow. He's still in love with me, this much is clear. We had quite a moment. He didn't actually TALK to me, per se. But it's those silent exchanges that mean the most, you know?

What happened was this:

DS was in conversation with a bunch of sycophantic twerps - his wife might have been there - and I walked past, gimlet in hand, with appropriate demureness, glancing up just on the off chance I might catch his eye. Which... I did! He pulled himself out of the huddle of tragically hip partygoers, grabbed my shoulder, looked me squarely in the eye with a small private smile, made a noise that might have been "yoooouuuuuu.....!" but came out sounding more like "urrrrrrrrrr....", and... poked me in the center of my breast bone.

It may be have the single sexiest encounter I've ever had in my life. (Sorry, Eric.)

Still coming down off that one.

This has nothing to do with your current post. I've never read your blog before, or your previous one, or any other, for that matter, except the one my mother kept for about three days before she got bored. But I want to thank you for your book, which I just read. It was an absolute delight in too many ways to mention (not least of which was reading about a kitchen worse than my own, always a pleasure).

Good luck with all future endeavors, including baby-making, if you're working on that. And if you are working on that, do keep trying. I speak as the 45-year-old mother of two five-year-olds.

Oh, and one of those five-year-olds is named Julia. Sometimes I call her Julia Child, just because I can.

No, no, no - don't you see? We were at an even that was all about him. He was being surrounded by pretty girls flouncing all over him, hogging his time. By looking deeply into his eyes, laughing, and walking away, I made a MUCH deeper impression. I'm sure of it.

Now, I send a flirtatiously signed copy of my book to him, and next thing you know, we're the illicit couple of the year! (Well, he IS on my List. Eric can't do a thing....)

I saw DS on the Golden Globes last night and thought, "Hey!! That's that guy Julie Powell's always on about!!" (exclamation point, exclamation point) It was a weird "the internets take over jess' brain" moment, and since you were sort of involved, thought I'd share :)

Well, now that I've seen him as the sexual predator/English teacher in "Blue Car," I have to say, Julie, that I finally get it. Sultry poke indeed.
