i’m referring to the post yesterday (RIGHT NOW IT’S REALLY FRIDAY DECEMBER SECOND, BUT BY THE TIME IT’S POSTED IT WILL SAY DECEMBER THIRD, WHICH IS WRONG) about anybody at all responding to my comment about putting flyers up at workplaces. i assumed that nobody would write to me about this, but SOMEBODY DID! not only that, but he said he’d put them up in TWO places at work. so that is very, very good, and i’m sure my show will be packed.
i saw the movie “rent” tonight. i don’t know why i never saw the play, but i would now like to see it, but i don’t know where/if it’s playing anyplace convenient. i liked the movie, but it was a little long, but most of the music was good, but it was also awfully depressing.
before dinner we went to panera where they have DELICIOUS PORTABELLA MUSHROOM AND GARLIC BISQUE, and i love that soup and am going to try to figure out how to make it somehow, and mom and randy were having a discussion about getting out of houses when they’re on fire because somebody was just killed in a house fire (and randy says suspicious things will be revealed about that incident soon enough, he thinks), and then they were talking about what i should do if there’s a fire, and i guess i’ll have to jump out the window even though my bedroom is on the second floor, but they didn’t think i’d hurt myself too badly if i fall in the bushes at the front of the house, although the bushes aren’t very big and i’m sure i’d at least break something and they said that doesn’t matter, i’d be ok.
this wasn’t the MOST cheery before-depressing-movie dinner conversation i’ve ever had. also, it made me think about what if there actually WAS a fire, what about everything in my computer? i think i need to frequently copy everything and then go put the copy in my car or something so that it would be safe. because i’ve written many many things on this computer, and i would be pretty upset if they were all burned up.
not to mention everything else, but WHY did we get on this whole topic anyway? gee, are there any other depressing things to think about late on friday night, like…nope, censor, censor, not going there.
i talked to jerri on the phone today and she said they’ve had a couple of inches of snow in minneapolis and they’re going to get some more and snow is GREAT and i have to look at the POSITIVE side of snow.
that would be jerri “pollyanna” heffernan, by the way. and also, this will be only the second year of snow she’s had IN HER LIFE.
we’ll see how she feels about it in about five years.
also, somebody today was telling me that it’s important to have the seasons because it represents the cycle of rest and re-birth and renewal and all that HOOEY in life, and i said, yeah yeah yeah, i can REMEMBER the cycles without the ice and snow and bitter cold.
tonight in rent one of the characters moved to santa fe. that sounded like a possibility, except i’d rather have a warm place with a little more greenery.
i’m still thinking about it.
south carolina? north carolina? i hear those carolinas are awfully pretty. i just talked to an old friend over the weekend who lives in north carolina, i think, and he says it’s very beautiful there.
i really need to get to sleep now. BIG weekend plans.
Ok then,
december grace.
