Lazy Last Hurrah

新年快樂!
We had a joint celebration of the new year with a friend's birthday. Twenty something people crammed into an orange kitchen - five in the back corner rolling out circles of dough for dumplings; three circulating periodically, trigger fingers on cameras; and the rest dancing, talking, pushing past each other to get to the food before it disappeared. 
The invite said to bring Asian food. The table lay covered with rice and noodles fried in someone's studio upstairs, frozen spring rolls from Carrefour, shrimp chips, curry, and instant noodle packets. A worthy new year's feast.
Afterwards we ran to the parking lot and tried to set fire to the sky. Then we played cards until dawn, serenaded by long-dead French singers with a penchant for rolling their r's.
