i sashayed into the office (although i would never EVER think of the place where i give massages as an office because that implies sitting down at a desk shuffling pieces of paper around which i’m firmly opposed to) this afternoon at about two o’clock, and the other women who i share space with were all sitting there.
having a meeting.
“oh, you forgot?” they said to me.
i didn’t forget. i never heard about it.
oh yeah you did. first tuesday of every month. one o’clock.
i never heard about it. nope. uh uh. no meetings. would have written it down. because of course i don’t actually remember if i heard about it or not, but if i had, i’d have written it down.
i have to say i’m glad i never heard about it, because i was having an extended lunch with my friend kurt. we ate at the lonestar steakhouse because it sounded good, and i got a BURGER. i really wanted a burger and thought i shouldn’t have one, but then i did. they let me order it medium rare, which i was excited about.
it wasn’t actually medium rare, it was more medium to medium well. but it was still pretty darn good.
i only ate half.
plus a sweet potato. it’s a fine country we live in, because at some places you can get a sweet potato at lunch.
i could have gotten vegetables and been truly healthy and would probably have a lot more energy right now.
but i didn’t.
no regrets.
nothing matters, no regrets. i think that’s a good philosophy to have about life. if you feel you MUST have the philosophy. which maybe i’m opposed to anyway. just BEING, that’s an even simpler philosophy.
anyway, kurt and i had a good time. i’d gone over to his house because he was going to put my new videos here on this site. but then his computer would not let us log in. this was a bitter disappointment to me because i thought that this video thing was FINALLY going to happen.
i called christine, and then kurt e-mailed the videos to her.
now SHE’S in charge of putting the videos on my site.
the problem with having friends who help me do things is that i have to keep bugging them about them. i would be so very happy if i didn’t have to bug them about anything ever (except the things they need to be bugged about), and if i wasn’t so incredibly lazy i’d figure out how to do everything all by myself.
lazy. probably not gonna change anytime soon.
also, i don’t have room on my computer for the videos. plus it’s fun to collaborate with kurt on the editing.
anyway, thanks christine for your continued cheerfulness at helping me.
i had many interesting things to discuss with kurt. first i discussed things with christine, because i have to do something to occupy my time while driving around.
christine and kurt provide a good, balanced perspective on life.
not that randy doesn’t provide a GBP on life as well. he called me today and was glad to hear from me because he’d thought i’d died, because now that he FINALLY FINALLY has a computer, he reads this all the time, and was concerned that i hadn’t written last night nor this morning. he naturally figured i’d been murdered.
he’s also concerned that i sometimes go running around the lake. he believe there are busloads of freaked out lunatics lurking all around the lake, ready to swoop in and molest lone women joggers. but i’m RUNNING, i told him. i could just RUN AWAY.
it’s funny when somebody mentions some concern that hadn’t even occurred to me because i’m the one who consistently does an excellent job of concocting concerns that aren’t even there.
it’s taken a lot of practice to hone this useful skill.
jerri and brendan are moving back to LA. they’re renting a loft in downtown LA. downtown LA is not my #1 favorite place in LA, but i just want you to know, jerri, if you happen to get time to read this in between all the huge amount of running around you’re doing what with the packing and moving and everything, that i would be DELIGHTED to come out there and house-dogsit for you sometimes when you go away.
and there i’d be, close enough to the ocean. i mean, i’d just have to zoom right down the 10 freeway to the end, and there i’d be. at the beach. aah, paradise. plus it would be kind of fun to be right in the heart of downtown. i could go to the fabulous new Disney Hall, which i only went inside of before leaving la, plus i’d be so incredibly close to both little tokyo and la’s version of chinatown, and the interesting bars and restaurants would be within walking distance. and i hear they’re right across from staples center, which would be awesome if i had any desire at all to go to a game of any kind. or a car show. i’ve been to both games AND car shows there at the staples center, and they were kind of fun.
for games and car shows.
housesitter, i’m there. i’d even clean for you. because i’m really an excellent cleaner.
that is all for now.
ok then,
tuesday grace.
