cold. brrr. but at least we have some sun.
so the big news in spfld is that bars and restaurants are going to be SMOKE-FREE! this is amazing. it won’t happen till september, but at least they passed the measure. because i’ve been going to some bars recently and i hate the fact that i leave and reek of smoke. my leather jacket still smells like smoke, and i went to a bar a week ago.
also on the news they had a guy from the henson robinson zoo with the hawk, Mani, that that cretin had abducted, but then he was finally found.
the interviewer, i can’t remember her name, was talking to the zoo guy and Mani was perched on his glove. Mani didn’t really look that thrilled to be on TV. sometimes i see people on those little interview segments, and they appear to be scared out of their minds that they’re on tv. mani didn’t seem scared, just bored. like he really wanted a nice rat or something for a snack.
this afternoon randy called to make sure i was alive. now that’s he checking the blog all the time, he seems to think that if i haven’t written in several hours, surely i’ve perished.
i’m just fine, thank you. i just didn’t have much to say. except last night i had three delicious pieces of chocolate after rehearsal. because i was STARVING. rehearsing takes a lot of energy. i wore a pair of heels for part of the rehearsal and was relieved that i didn’t fall at all. but there’s a flurry of running up and down the stairs for part of it, so it’s good to practice in the heels. the assistant director, susan, said they were FMH shoes. i had never heard this expression, FMH. i guess i’m not going to tell you what this stands for. i’m sure you can figure it out. i said to her BUT I REALLY WEAR THESE SHOES. i actually have two pair, black and copper, and i wore the copper ones two years in a row on new year’s eve. and i wore the black ones this new year’s eve.
the shoes aren’t even outrageous or anything. they’re nothing like the five inch white slutty sandals i wore to the wedding reception in beverly hills along with my pink slip dress when all of the other wedding guests wore black. that’s the pinnacle of wearing everything completely inappropriate, and hopefully i won’t ever match this poor attire choice ever again.
i think i forgot to mention this weird thing i saw on tv the other day. it’s this spray flavoring that you spray on food. the weirdest one was bacon spray. they sprayed the bacon spray on a hamburger, and the people who tried it claimed that it really tasted like bacon. the show was “the view,” and the women were devouring the hamburger coated with bacon spray. they were probably devouring it because they normally never ever get to eat since they’re actresses, and this was a chance to sneak some actual food.
except it was covered with bacon SPRAY. don’t you agree that part of the enjoyment of eating something is the way it feels? yes, i know this is true. bacon, for example, is CRUNCHY.
bacon spray. kind of retarded in my opinion. there was also chocolate spray as well as a few others. it seemed rather willy wonka-ish to me; do you remember the piece of gum that violet beauregard chewed which turned her into a blueberry? the gum tasted like an entire multi-course meal, finishing with blueberry pie. i assume you’ve seen willy wonka already, but if you haven’t, you really should. i actually think the new one is better than the old one.
but anyway i bet that’s where the spray-food people got the idea.
my online class started yesterday but nothing has actually happened yet. i keep checking online to see if there’s anything posted about the class but so far, nothing. this is fine with me because my enthusiasm for class has waned a little because there are a bunch of other things i’m either doing or would like to do. i did get some of the books i ordered for class yesterday, so that’s good. i ordered them all on half.com, and they were less than half the price i would have paid for them used at the campus bookstore.
saving money like crazy.
ok then, zooming through the week,
wednesday grace.
