You live in a city your whole life, you think you know your surroundings. Then you get visitors. From out of town. Suddenly you have to think what they might want to see. This has always been difficult for me.
So I'm relying on this and this and my mom.

You know, as I was writing that essay, all I could think was "I wonder what my professor will think my life is like after reading this?" In reality, it was just the only thesis I could think of that related to the pieces I knew well enough to write an essay about. What does suck is that I ran out of time; I didn't get a chance to go into why all these authors portrayed women as weak and destructive. Ah well.
Hey kids. Ever thought about going into theatre? Well here are some tips. You may have to pick them out from in between my rants. Please excuse me.

I've now got a Bowie concert and a wedding to swing this month. Plus other stuff.
It's crazy on the finances.
Adding another trip/hotel into the mix isn't going to make my accountant stop giggling any faster.
We'll see, mmkay? I've got Photogrrl online explaining right now that I simply have to come, and she's playing really dirty by pointing out that Cathedra is going to be there, because I love her and want to marry her.
But... but it's floor seats for Bowie. I cannot resist their siren song!

Dahling, I put the fashion into 'fashionista'.
Seriously.
Before I came along, those motherfuckers were just a bunch of istas.

Well you do.
Dogslife is looking forward to being introduced as "a guy I met on a porn site" almost as much as I'm looking forward to making the introduction.
But it gets even better if I get to say "this is a couple I met on a porn site." Woo-ha! So you definitely must come and visit someday. I'll warn you - there's a scarcity of things to do here, although there is a splendid Thai place (a couple, actually), a wonderful Korean place, and a great sushi place (although that one's one city over, but still a short drive). No doubt scintillating conversation would take up the rest of the time.
I've done live sound and it terrifies me. Give me a nice studio and a digital editor and I'm a happy clam.
The entire concept of sound design for my old theatre company involved pretty exclusively asking the cast to pipe up and the band to pipe down.

That theatre is amazing! Where is that? It makes me want to own a ballgown. Thanks for your lovely comments on my set, it warms my heart!

I REQUEST NYUUU UPDATE
I was right. Creepy guy asked me out again. The worst part is, because he asks me out at work, I never feel I should mention I have a boyfriend. Because I know then he'll just turn around and say "Well I didn't mean it like that".
And I don't want to turn creepy guy down simply because I have a boyfriend. That might give...

mmm, visiting makes me fat and sleek!!!! strawberry perogies!!!!
Just say, "Oh, I thought you meant like "putting your penis in my vagina. How silly of me!"

Creepy guy at work just got creepier. He already asks WAY too many questions and wants to know everything about everyone. I once went to the far bathroom and he met me as I was coming back to ask why I had gone there. He also walks like a stork (which earned him the name Big Bird (bb), and, moments before asking me out, told...

The fabulousness of your boyfriend's ass is now germane to my journal.

This is intense: I need a tutorial on CD to learn how to use the new phones at work. There's a whole notebook to fill out when you're done.
It's times like these I understand how my parents feel when they look at all our new fangled gadgets....I feel old.
I think I need a third degree for this.

Sorry it has taken me forever to get back to you on your comments in my journal.
I saw one production of Perestroika a few years back, but my experience with "Millenium Approaches" is limitted to reading the play and seeing the film. As far as comparing both part 2s, I agree with you about the "magic of theatre" aspect- but I think "angels" the movie stands out on it's own as a totally different piece of art - same script, same dialogue, same emotions to a certain extent, but a different EXPERIENCE. And even though the experience WAS different, I don't think it was any less effective for me.

I need a nap.
I might have to fashion a nook under my desk ala George Costanza.

In school, I was fond of sleeping on my desk, with a copy of Sweet's catalogue for a pillow. One Saturnday morning, my Professor mistook me for dead.

hey.. just trying to rekindle interest in The Classics club cuz I just joined and its dead. So I'm trying to get the ball rolling cuz there is so much stuff that has never been talked about : )
I'm starting some countdowns of my own. I just got an email from Ticketmaster reminding me of these events--who knew they do this? Perhaps this is why I had to pay them about 10 dollars in extra fees per ticket.

i think you're the only person who noticed that my rug is from ikea... and if others noticed, they didn't say anything. i'm moving across the country in august and have decided to sell/trash everything i have now and have my new place be entirely from ikea.
