i wrote on friday night about my concerns about there being a fire and all the stuff on my computer being burned up, and craig wrote me a very nice e-mail telling me just how to solve this problem. plus he wrote to me about how to have comments on my site without all the spammers being able to post, and i will have to pass this information on to christine because she’s the one who would probably know what he’s talking about. i wrote to him whining and complaining about my lost zest for living and he suggested bungee jumping which is a TERRIBLE idea, but he can’t be right all the time. i would probably die or at least hurt myself VERY BADLY bungee jumping, because i can hurt myself JUST WALKING DOWN THE STREET. or perhaps just standing still. i broke my toe crashing into an ottoman in my bedroom. i tripped over a curb walking to the gym one day and fell down and scraped my arms and my brand new glasses. there’s an ironic reason i’m called grace.
it’s going to be SO SO SO SO SO cold here this week. unseasonably cold, even though it’s the cold season, but it’s going to be about seven degrees at night and only get up into the teens during the days, and it’s really not something i’m going to want to think about. at all. i wish there was some excuse for moving back to la. some way to make gobs of money there so i could afford to have a driver, and then the traffic wouldn’t be an issue. or i could live right down there by the beach and then i’d never drive anyway, i’d just walk around by the beach and be a beach bum.
i wrote in the roadrunner’s newsletter a couple of months ago about how i was going to keep running outside during the winter, blah blah blah, but now i just have to say NO WAY TO THAT. all week i’ve been working out at the fit club, and it hasn’t been too bad and at least it’s warm. i mostly ran on the treadmill which is pretty boring but i was able to watch tv which was usually pretty boring. let’s see, i think i heard one new thing today…but now i can’t even remember it.
sometimes i watch the music videos. tonight thad gave me a little lecture about the need for me to know SOMETHING about popular mainstream culture, and i told him i have randy for that. but then thad made some reference to…fergie? and i thought he was talking about the duchess of york. no, fergie in some band…called…i can’t remember. it’s one i’d heard of. something about that RETARDED song called “i want your hump” or something MORONIC like that. the band has a bunch of words in the title. the something something something something. i think. maybe there’s no “the” in the title at all. whatever, it’s a totally stupid song. my niece mercedes knows and love the song, but she’s only fourteen. fourteen? going to be fourteen? i should AT LEAST know my niece’s age! bad, bad aunt. her birthday is december 18th. she will be one year older. we will have cake.
the weekend was busy. i’ve now shot most of the videos for the show. theoretically tomorrow kurt and i will start editing them. then i have class tomorrow night, but i’m tired of the whole class thing and i want it to be over because i want to focus on the show. but then what? you need to think about the NOW, miss smith, please don’t waste YOUR ENTIRE LIFE thinking about what could happen, or what did happen (and how it could have happened much better).
i saw the movie “sky high,” which i really liked a lot.
i made mexican chicken soup for dinner.
erica got a christmas card from jimmy and rosalyn carter. very exciting. erica is going to be in one of my videos. it’s going to be very funny. it’s about beverages. i think i may call it “beverage video,” because i like how generic that sounds. unless somebody comes up with something funnier.
thad thought this show i’m doing was going to be a compilation of the two i’ve already done. i said NO OF COURSE NOT I LIKE WRITING NEW THINGS, but then i started worrying that maybe that’s what i should have done, because i’ve done them before and i could pick the funniest stuff and now this venue is so much larger than the other one…but then i decided WHO CARES, i like writing new stuff.
so sunday night could be worse.
i can think of at least two things that could be much better.
but that’s always going to be how it is, isn’t it?
i have a busy massage week this week.
i want to make some gingerbread. i’d like a piece right now.
have you been down hooker street yet? it’s right down the street from the bowling alley in laketown. it will make your night. that’s all i have to say.
i’m sorry if you don’t live here and can’t see the street. you could come visit. but not this week, because the cold will make you surly and/or sad. surly AND sad is a wicked combination. i’m usually, mostly just sad about things, but surly would at least be something different.
grrrr. there’s me, the surliness creeping in. grrrrr….grrrrr….
doesn’t work. not me.
i bet i was really surly in a past life, and i got it all out of my system. perhaps i was atilla the hun.
i think in my next life i’ll be a mathematical genius. to make up for the lack thereof in this life.
i wish i really believed in the whole past life/next life thing. maybe i’ll try to believe in it.
“a charlie brown christmas” is going to be on tuesday night. i sure would like to see it.
ok ok ok then,
december grace with many things to do so please stop SITTING HERE GOOFING OFF!
