Ultimate Nachos

one more photo: Rehearsal was good – fast, anyway. we didn’t start on time because i was five minutes late. the director, john, called me at 7:03 and i yelled into the phone, “I’M SORRY AND I’M DRIVING 50 DOWN MONROE STREET!” so then he couldn’t very...

Thursday!

Gee, where has the week gone? Thursday already, i need to get back into play-mode. i’d decided that i don’t know what i’ll do when it’s over, but i haven’t really thought about it much while i’ve been away. i haven’t even thought about my lines or anything, but...

wednesday

i just got done giving chair massages at the hospital. i gave massages to a guy who liked it a lot. then he said “that was like a lapdance in reverse.” hmmm. i thanked him, because i didn’t exactly know how to respond, and i definitely didn’t want to ask...

The day after VD

photo of me in my 1st scene costume: Whew, made it through that alive. I mean, I knew I would, but still. 363 more days till the next one, which I am sure will be better than this one. I’m just going to say that right now, I’m sure of it. Just putting it out there, so...

VD 2005, plus other random thoughts

One year, my friend Christine had a VD party. It wasn’t an anti-Valentine’s Day party, she remembers, it was more of an over-the-top celebration of the absurdity of the holiday, plus the fact that VD also stands for Venereal Disease, and how the two could easily be...

sunday

i woke up at 5:17 this morning, just lying there, not going back to sleep. i thought i’d get up and write on this site, but i then thought, no, you MUST GO BACK TO SLEEP. i repeated this to myself over and over for the next couple of hours. i wasn’t doing a good job...

1:31 a.m.

I never, ever stay up this late. We had our opening night, and it went really well, people laughed a lot. It was so much fun. Tonight I decided that I want to be in one play after another. I also realized why I like being in plays so much – it’s just a lot of fun,...

napless

all i wanted yesterday was a nap. but it was not meant to be. i gave an hour and a half massage in the early afternoon, and then wanted to show my sister my lovely new massage space. i went to her salon, and she said, “why don’t we color your hair?” so we...

wednesday

the day before yesterday, a remarkably vivid image popped into my head, of a specific street in LA. I’ve walked down that street quite a bit; it’s in Santa Monica, close to the ocean, and it’s tree-lined and lovely. i thought about how much i’d love to live there....

my friends

I spent a lot of time this weekend with my friends Shadow, Nubie, and Noodle. Here they are:

monday

i’m here at panera, taking advantage of the free wifi. yet another invented word, certainly not as annoying as the word “blog.” but wifi is too much like hi-fi, in my opinion. things are, well…fine. not fine, of course, but i do fool the people who i...

5:23 a.m.

i woke up at 4:17, tossing and turning, and finally decided to get up for a while. why not? well, because i’d only been asleep for about five hours, that’s why not. i was hoping for a good, interrupted 9-10 hours of sleep last night. i don’t know why i keep deluding...

FYI

OK, i just have to make one thing clear, then i won’t mention it again (probably): Somebody wrote a letter to the editor of the Illinois Times this week asking what happened to me, and the editor put in a little blurb that i have this website. But he neglected to say...

perspective

My friend Erica said to me last night, “You’re brave, writing all that stuff on your blog.” Certainly not brave. Foolish, yes. Not brave. Not foolish, I guess, either. Just me. I need to express myself, pretty much all the time. I can’t help it. I usually don’t wonder...

worse.

yesterday, after working out to the point of exhaustion (endorphins are truly wonderful things; is there a way to market/bottle them somehow?) at the fit club, i ran into one of my high school english teachers. Mrs. Neece, although i could call her Daria if that...

O-Negative

I gave blood a few weeks ago, and today I got the card in the mail saying my blood is good, and I’m O-Negative. I’d never given blood before, I can’t say why exactly, except because I’m lazy/bad, but I was pleased to see that O-Negative is a fairly uncommon type, AND...

one more thing

i had this photo taken today, in updating my massage therapist website. i look happy don’t i? this shows you what a BRILLIANT actress i am. NOT HAPPY IN ANY WAY

not a good day

last night at play practice, a friend said to me, “tomorrow will be better, and then the next day after that will be even better…” but today is tomorrow, it’s actually about to be yesterday, and i don’t see better on the horizon anytime soon. if she...

*sigh*

i read something recently about somebody saying that he was trying to do what he felt his purpose in life was. i realy think that a main point of me is to try to give people something to smile about. i like to cheer them up, i like to make them laugh, and i think i...

new phone

i’m moving my massage business to a new location at the end of next week, and i have to buy some stuff in order to do so, and i can’t be squandering money left and right, higgegdly piggedly, hither and yon. so, the day before yesterday i decided to buy a new cell...

brad and jen

a couple of weeks ago, in case you never pay attention to anything really significant going on in the world, brad pitt and jennifer aniston broke up. i wondered how such seemlingly perfect people could not want to be together anymore. this morning, as i was giving...

more joy

ok, to continue with the end of yesterday’s note about finding joy – yesterday morning i was on the phone with my friend christine; we were both in our cars, going to work, me here in spfld, she in denver. she pulled into the mcdonald’s drive-thru, which she...

early tuesday morning

here’s Shortie on xmas day – here’s mom and me, looking very glamorous on xmas morning – Ok, the new year hasn’t gotten off to a great start. When I wrote that last entry, on xmas morning, I was planning on writing more later in the day, and then a bunch...
