The Grammys

I think I need to ask for another room. The only thing holding me back from putting forth the request is that it would focus attention on me and I would rather not give management the occasion to raise certain issues having to do with my recent liaison of a disruptive nature--friendship doesn't quite describe it--with Désespérée. Yes, she has disappeared without warning or apparent motive, which is not to say she won't return--equally without warning or apparent motive.

The last couple of days have been spent recovering from the hours leading up to her departure, which caused me to miss the Grammys on television amongst other things. I asked what had drawn her attention to me that evening at Alain Delon's party. She affected not to know who Alain Delon is, to which I responded that it was just my luck that she was capable of forgetting Alain Delon whilst remembering me. She took this badly.

It occurs to me that if I say I lost my magnetic key card, the hotel will give me a replacement that has been re-coded thus rendering the one she took with her unusable. I should probably offer to pay for the window, as well.
