That&#8217;s because S isn&#8217;t here right now. So it should be zero. But I&#8217;ve got a photo of her. And a bunch of her dirty clothes are in my laundry heap. So I can smell her when I want to. Which gives my place a babe count of five on the Roy-o-metre. That&#8217;s cos S is my uber-babe.

Awesome stuff.\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>As for the food and service&#8230; well&#8230; it&#8217;s Woolworth&#8217;s bachelor food. Quiche Lorraine tonight. With an Ola Magnum Light for dessert.<\/p>\n<p>And the ambience is up there too, cos I&#8217;m playing my iRIVER on shuffle, and there&#8217;s about ten days worth of music on it. Yeah!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve just spent the entire day drawing. I recently went on a conference with <a href=\"http:\/\/missinglink.co.za\/\">THE MISSING LINK<\/a> guys and their clients. I volunteered to be the resident portraitist. I foolishly thought I could easily bash out a sketch every five or so minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Well, the weekend was about two weeks ago. At the event, I managed to draw about twenty pics. And delivered a further forty or so to MISSING LINK via email a week later. After drawing all day today, I sent D&#8217;ave a further twenty-three pics. I have thirty-two left to draw. Ayeeeee! My eyeballs are bleeding, mon!<\/p>\n<p>And I&#8217;ve got a writing deadline for three o&#8217; clock tomorrow afternoon. Spent all of Friday afternoon in a coffee-shop smashing away at my laptop to meet a five o&#8217; clock deadline for the preliminary script. Cracked that.<\/p>\n<p>Also, tomorrow I hear from a potential client whether a little company I&#8217;m a partner in has won the pitch to design everything for a phone card business. Spent all of Friday morning sorting the pitch out. Lunchtime we pitched. Chanel and I. Maybe soon <a href=\"http:\/\/www.potion.co.za\/\">POTION DESIGN<\/a> will be on the map. Wish me luck.<\/p>\n<p>Sheesh. It&#8217;s been a busy month. Tons of stuff. Loads of creativity. And I&#8217;m feeling satisfied.<\/p>\n<p>It really feels great to be in a delicious relationship with a mega-babe. Sigh. Amazing how polyamory thoughts just seem to evaporate when you&#8217;re with someone you realllllly wanna be with.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\">Roy Blumenthal is a writer, director, artist, and <a href=\"http:\/\/snipurl.com\/visualfacilitator\">visual facilitator<\/a>.
