i really can’t believe it’s been a week. i’m sure that if i had the time to check the statistics of the site, i have about one person still checking to see if i’m EVER GOING TO WRITE AGAIN.
my cat, winston, just crawled up onto the chair behind me and he’s purring like crazy but there’s not really room here for the both of us and i think he’s trying to shove me out. he may just do it. he’s very dedicated to whatever it is he may want to do.
so, where have i been? mostly cleaning and stuff, at amy and jim’s, because they PUT THE HOUSE ON THE MARKET YESTERDAY.
thank god, that’s all i have to say about that. their place is eerily clean now, and there’s NO CLUTTER ANYWHERE. which does not seem normal. mom says it looks like a house you’d see in a magazine ad. it is.
i did take a break and see REUNION at the lincoln museum; it’s the first play they’ve done there and it was really really good. it’s a musical, all about the civil war era, with lots of songs nobody has ever heard of, and a really small cast, only six people. it’s a great place for a show because the seats are really comfortable and there’s plenty of leg room, and they projected stuff on the side walls and it was really, really entertaining. i knew some of the people in it, including ed mcmurdo, who i saw at walgreens last week or maybe the week before and he looked really, really tired, and now i know why. also dennis rendleman is in the show; i was in “evita” with him about a million years ago and he’s very entertaining. and this woman named brittany is in it; she was in “jekyll & hyde,” which was about the best production of anything i’ve seen anywhere. she was quite good in this, but i wish she’d dye her hair blonde again. blondes have more fun, brittany.
i, personally, have had MUCH more fun after finally giving up the red hair. MUCH.
winston was perched on the back of the chair for a while and i marvelled at his nimbleness, but now he’s on the desk, still purring, i guess he’s just happy to be here with me, but i think he thinks it’s time to go to sleep.
“reunion” is this weekend, too, so if you haven’t gotten tickets yet you need to do that ASAP.
i, personally, am going to be in chicago seeing “wicked.” this will be the third time. i’m looking forward to it, or i would look forward to it if i had time to think about it.
this week and next i’m giving many many chair massages to nurses at the hospital, because i think it’s nurses’ week. yesterday it was 3:30 p.m. – nine, tomorrow i go until 10, or till my arms snap right off my shoulders, whichever comes first.
today i saw these two guys dressed as Quizno’s cups. Quizno’s is a sandwich place, and the guys were standing on the corner waving at cars as they passed. i was kind of mesmerized by them, and wondered how that would look on their resumes. “cup.” if they wanted to pad the resumes, they might put “large cup. with straw.”
i’m glad i don’t have to be a cup.
i bet it doesn’t pay very well.
and i bet they get no benefits at all.
i don’t have any benefits either, but at least i never have to dress in a great big cup costume.
i think that’s about all for tonight. i PROMISE i’ll never desert you for an ENTIRE WEEK again, my one lone and dedicated reader.
ok ok ok i’m going to bed now because i’m exhausted,
april grace.
