feeling low. no reason. it seems to me that alzheimer's is not the only disorder to have a "sundowning" effect on its peeps. mary always says that you should never make decisions or have heavy talks after midnight, and she is darn right on this.that being said, of course there's nothing wrong with me. to be the girl with the perfect life, and then to feel the guilt of the perfect life, and

some days it becomes apparent that my life should read like a series of incredibly fabulous tabloid headlines and the like. but then, i also think that everyone should take some time to convert their own life into a media circus o' cultural sensation. i can't be the only one who is down with this sort of silly behavior.i mean, really - doesn't this sound exciting? you need the media frenzy of

so the visit with my new england peeps is totally awesome. not that we've done all that much besides eating so far - because there is a fucking blizzard outside - but it's all picturesque and cute as a button here. after my drive in from the aiport on, like, three hours of sleep it seemed like that may have been some sort of hallucination, but it was really true. we took a cruise around the '

would it be wrong of me to go to the store in the middle of the night simply for deodorant, magazines, and chick-o-sticks? it's a case that makes one question, "why did she really come here?" shopping under cover of darkness is the best. let's hope the drugstore isn't a last resort for people who procrastinate during the holidays, because i just need the aforementioned essentials.as far as the

so i know that the technical night for the full moon isn't tonight, but it sure does feel like it if one were to judge by the squirrely crap that has been all around me this weekend. there seems to be a bitch vibe in the air. no one is immune - not even me. then agian, how could i tell if i were under the spell of a bitch vibe?did you ever think you could gain any kind of street cred with

jeezy chreezy, remember that scene in european vacation where they were all supposed to have so much fun that they whistled zip-a-dee-doo-dah out of their assholes? well, clark w. griswold would be very proud of me today. mary and tim and myself have spent the last two days wearing ourselves out with some f-u-n, baby.she even had to make a list of the fun, just to document it. i'm sure she'll

after going so many months and sustaining my terrible habit of twelve (or more) hour days, i find myself feeling a bit lost today. the calendar for this week is mostly an oasis of blank spots and nothing, with the only part of it all being my evenings chock full of fun things like musicals and comedy and food. what is this newly found freedom i see before me? it's great! it's grand! it's

being a creative person can lead to some seriously weird creativity blocks. in the past i've called it the difference between inspiration and creation, as well as some other vague descriptions that don't make much sense to anyone but myself. i am in awe of other people's creations, which should inspire me to make something myself, right? it generally whips me into a form of intimidation that

by saturday night, i came home and stared. my body piled itself on the sofa and i drooled while the cats did some self-petting head butts at my elbows. and hands. it wasn't that i had done some kind of strenuous physical activity, but more that i hadn't seen my own house in what seemed like weeks. there is a special word that i have no grasp on when asked to volunteer for things. NO. in this

i'm sitting with the fuzzbabies and listening to marilyn monroe tunes. they seem to like her, as they're presently in a bizarre trance of snoring with their eyes open. are they asleep? are they contemplating the possibility of suffocating me in my sleep? it's like how i've seen animals react to the cheesy flash gordon movie from the seventies - creepy and reassuring all at the same time.my

you know how when you have a lot to do, and you're totally getting a lot done, when you skip a task because you're so damn busy - you feel like you're not getting anything at all done? uhhh, but maybe that's just me. i'm fascinated by a paradox like that. so now i'm in that thing where one of my bajillion juggling balls drop and i screech in a panic until i get some cheese to calm me

today is a lazy day. i keep wondering how i get so exhausted when it feels like i don't get much of anything done. true enough, i do have somewhat of a tight schedule, but does running from place to place and taking little notes on my steno pad count as large amounts of activity?stuart copeland has become quite chatty as of late. he has the wimpiest voice ever, so this new development

it almost feels as if the past month has slipped away from me. i've gotten a new job, a new computer, a new keyboard that i haven't quite bonded with just yet, and it feels like there is a whole new season finally beginning. some people see autumn as the end of things, but i think that's when the world begins anew for me. after a few months of drudgery and sweating, i can finally breathe.i'm

for some reason, my reverent side has poked its node into my business. i've inadvertently become party to a debate about independence day. as a holiday, i'm not really into it. too much beer and partying and not enough remembering the reasons behind why it's there. this year i'm going to spend some time reading historical documents and thinking. maybe i'll even wander off to the library

okay, so my last post was a total slack, but i have to admit that i was in a hurry and still wanted to get something out there. it was more like a reminder to myself that i need to communicate with the world. hence, i've been getting out there and doing stuff.holly might think that i'm always going about 400 miles an hour, but in truth i am a socially awkward slug who likes to sleep just as

well, ep turned out as a success and all my little chickens seemed pleased with themselves. from what i can tell, everyone had a good time with the whole thing overall. i'll be writing up an overview from my side. they all wanna do it again next year and i hope the feedback we got supports that notion. did it drive me bonkers some days? yup. would i do it again? without even a second

derek just made me steak for my late supper - WOOHOOOOO!!! not just any steak, mind you, but some mighty tasty bacon-wrapped filet mignon. does this boy love me or what? it's amazing what secrets the freezer can hold in an attempt to make people stop going out to eat all the time. hey, i figured that since restaurants are my wallet's achilles heel, i should just splurge on the fridge to help

so, in an effort to assure myself that i'm not really grad school material, i've been investigating grad schools this week. you know what i've figured out so far? there are a lot of forms and rules and all that whatnot in most of the programs. it doesn't sound like much fun. in fact, there aren't even many programs that even caught my attention for more than a click through moment on the

another tech week has passed, and the shows from the kids look to be coming along better than even i had expected. working with first-time directors is about the cutest thing ever, especially since they're all teenagers. julie and i were commenting on how it's like listening to miniature versions of ourselves whenever they stop to inform us of all the mishaps and revelations and little things

in yet another fabulous installment of lexiconical loot (are these real words, or am i just making them up?) from me to you, i present a list of words that make me happy right now.satification - coined by derek, at least in my awareness of it, this word is fully expresses the meaning of both satisfied and gratification at the same time. a prime example? eating meat gives me satification.

many of you have already heard this story, but it's a good reminder of how to keep things in perspective. you can thank veronica for reminding me of it. i'll warn you now that it's a long one, but i promise the payoff at the end is great.while living in los crapeles, i had a few different jobs. one of them involved the education wing of the simon wiesenthal center. working for an important

this week is very up and down in my moods. yes, i'm even considering taking an extra spot of meds to keep me going, but i know i won't actually do it. today is a very bad day - for me, for derek, for dizzy. in order to feel like myself, i must act as if it is a very average day instead. to be an average day, that would mean i would drink coffee in the morning and write about most anything that

stuart copeland is getting to where he can only go so long without having me next to his side. his new codependence is really cute until i'm trying to use my keyboard and he wiggles around on the desk in a floppity way. oh, and i pretty much can't read anything without his approval. if only i had thought to use this as my best excuse when i was still working on my capstone. the wonder kitty

whether it was something i ate or the weather outside, i feel nauseated. you would think that temperatures in the 60's and 70's would make me happy, but with the humidity in the bazillion percent, it feels more like i'm getting cheated, damnit. add to that the hurricane-grade wind we've been getting this week and i look a hot mess. how i am expected to drink my daily regiman of coffee in

in any case, i suppose i thought that there has been more updates posted about this. oh wait! it was just all that typing i was doing to finish up the capstone thingy and some other nagging projects. it's all coming clear to me now. the writing haze has been over me, but not in the good way you one would hope for when it comes to writing.so yes, the graduation was saturday afternoon. yes,

of course, my brothers would be very happy if i finally decided to purchase a gun. on the other hand, it seems like stabbing people would be more gratifying anyway. in either case, a massive meltdown like no other would be on the schedule if i found out that i couldn't be finished in a few weeks. for crying out loud, i already paid all my fees and bought the stupid cap and gown!whew! has it

since i've had very little sleep this week, this almost feels like drunken posting. see, i was supposed to be studying and finishing more schoolwork, and i spent the other night just staring and doing more editing until finally wandering off for a nap at about 6am. but that's another story. or maybe it's the really short and boring story i just told in one sentence. in any case, my meds are

in an effort to keep up on my five minutes per day of mental exercise, i offer you yet another brief glimpse into the things i think about in the middle of the night. this list includes words that are fun to say, words that make me contemplate their meanings, and new words i either make up or learn along the way. as always, it will also have words that sound like what they really are, which is

my desk is developing tiny mountains again. it's time to tame my paper demon and throw more stuff into the recycling before stuart copeland causes an avalanche. he likes to wedge himself into a corner and lay against the piles while he squirms around until they spread out into a big pillow for him. cats are messy people.it would seem that most everyone i know that used to blog has abandoned

derek started making his own wine a few years back. it's nothing too fancy, but showing up to a party with some tasty homemade wine is a crowd pleasing event. honestly, the whole process isn't too difficult if you just go buy a mix of the grapes already done. the initial purchase of tools and equipment can set you back a bit, but after that it's a lot of watching the sediment settle after

derek is so terribly cute when he's watching top gear. sometimes i think his little giggles will end with food shooting out of his nose. every few minutes i hear the tivo give off a beep because derek has laughed so hard at something that he feels the need to skip back five seconds and see it again, only to begin laughing harder. see, derek isn't really a laugh out loud kind of guy, so

so right now i'm on spring break. how's that for going back in time, eh?last weekend was fairly pleasant, except for one small thing that almost led to my complete downfall. i hurt my hiney in the bathroom. somewhere in my travels i caught a mystery bug that left me with severe abdominal cramps for three days. i mean, i'm not saying my organic yogurt was to blame, but i am saying that was the

did you know that you can find instructions on how to play "butts up" in wikipedia? truly, we are an information overload society! you can also figure out how to play one of my all-time favorite card games, bullshit. some days i really heart the internet.the urge to click is one i find hard to resist. wanna learn how to wash a cat? wikihow has at least three different pages about the topic.

what will i have to bitch about when i finally finish school?!? even after all of my complaining - okay, so let's call it whining - about college, i've somehow given off the impression that's it's a nice hideout for those of us that can't face the real world. how do i know this? derek just enrolled for the rest of the spring semester. in the great tradition of people who need something to do

in case you were wondering, i have officially gone two weeks without any sodie-pop or candy. only a few more weeks to go until i get to try out that heritage dr. pepper. me and my lent buddy are hanging in there pretty well, and it's actually gotten easier as the days have passed. let's just hope i don't go hog wild at the end of this. i don't think i've lost any weight, but my pants keep

over the weekend i got to meet gwyn's mom, and she's cute as a button! we sat and watched the ballet together and chatted incessantly whenever the lights would come up for a break. i see where gwyn gets her spunk, for sure. the show was adorable. i rarely go to see the full length ballets anymore, since the contemporary one act pieces are so much more interesting to me. i figure if i'm going

what ever happened to my airhorn? it must have been lost in one of the moves we made. next time i direct, it would be really funny to use one from time to time. maybe not so useful on adults, but the kids would surely respond. at least i still have my whistle and my silver pointer... and all of my jaunty scarves, which give me that je ne sais quoi thing.with the impending start of my secular

should i feel guilty that his birthday felt more like it was my birthday? lemme explain this to you...not only did i get my research proposal done, but i also made my yummy eggcakes for breakfast today. they're like pancakes, they're like crepes, they're like french toast, all rolled into one. mmm, mmm, good stuff. i'm certain i can make almost anything taste like a fabulous custard-like,

well, the show in owasso is over and done with and it turned out to be a success! apparently, we broke their box office record. the audience was quite responsive overall. the board members said they saw a lot of new faces in the crowd, and we even scored a sizable red hat ladies group at our matinee. all i care about is if the people involved enjoyed themselves. as our producer put it, "

if you haven't checked out the other blog by kris, known as in the kitchen with audrey, you should see the fun on it. i'm glad she's teaching the kids to be so self-sufficient, but always willing to ask for help as well, right from the start. and to boot, even someone like me could get a cooking lesson from a toddler. if audrey can make it, so can i. go take a look.the style of my show is not

somehow we've gotten in the habit of lazing around the place for a few hours while listening to some favorite shows on the local npr station. right now it's car talk. i'm in my pj's drinking coffee (of course) and giggling to "stump the chumps" while i review my resolutions. besides doing my once a week things, which are going okay so far, i was also thinking about some of my daily habits.some

everyone rolls their eyes when you talk about resolutions for the new year. why is that? this is possibly my favorite holiday of the year. everything is still sparkly outside. i don't drink often and feel no need to get shitfaced. people choose to spend time with those that they like and celebrate their lives together. the clock strikes and you tend to have a moment where you feel like you

as far as i can remember, i've addressed my resolutions from the last new year. i do think about my posture, i've learned how to be quiet and breathe sometimes, and i'm starting a new (very small so far) business. surely there's something i'm leaving out, but this seems like a fair beginning. i'm going to try and set realistic goals for myself again in the coming year.the handbrake is fine.

so yes, it did snow here on thursday. by the time i was on the way home from morning coffee with friends, it went from just cold and raining to windy and sleet with itty bitty hail pellets. sometime shortly after that it started snowing and didn't stop until the next morning. in the great tradition of silver linings, i am a bit thankful. at last! i have a reason that we didn't do anything

yes, i know i'm not fat. in fact, one could look at the statistics and look at me and say "voila! at last we've found her! that's the average american woman!" it just so happens that my dimensions are pretty much the ones they always print in those articles trying to bash the skinny people. leave the skinny people alone, i say. if they're twigs, they either can't help it or they wanna give

too bad that sociology what it is i'm supposed to know all about after i've finished my degree. to a large extent, most of the stuff is like, "duh" when i read it. maybe i just know more about sociology than i think i do, or maybe it's just easy because it makes sense to me.plato does not make sense to me. dead white guys like that just piss me off.honestly, when something makes no sense to me

so i said that other people's lives are more interesting than your own, which can definitely feel true when you're just slogging through your day buying cat litter. i also told you to have a story to tell every day. this helps me to feel more interesting.last night was more interesting. dance party on a monday night! scott and zoe hosted a random party night, complete with nerf guns, disco

if only you hit shuffle enough times on your music, you will find just what you're looking for and have an epiphany.you should have a story to tell every single day.don't run out of coffee before you get dressed.find one thing to get done every day, even if it's just getting your face washed before you go to bed or taking out the trash. every show needs a number.

every day i tell someone how much i love my cast. seriously. well, the part i hadn't realized in this was that i meant the cast i was actually working with every rehearsal. there are eleven people in this show, and we were constantly working with ten of them. the last one had a lot of conflicts that we've been working around... until now. so what i must've meant to say was that i love my

so it's finally fall, and i'm dragging out all the clothes i lurrrve. my turtleneck anxiously await their yearly coming out, and the jackets beckon to me. unfortunately, we've only had about two days of autumn so far. it was bee-yoo-tee-full for a brief moment, with a backsliding back into the last fighting bits of summer sun. i'm even the tiniest bit pink from my swan lake outing with kris

well yes, i aced one test and failed another. so be it. who needs the honor roll when you can just be done with it? i only have to pass, not be spectacular, and as i have often said to others, "in real life everyone has a C average." fuck 'em. it's a good thing i get points just for showing up and having smarty pants things to say in class.my epiphanies in school as of late are like farts.

okay, so i admit that homework sucks. studying isn't my favorite thing either. the college thing doesn't really seem to be my scene at all. the main motivation i'm getting to stay is from other people's excitement that i'm trying to finish. my heart isn't in it, but if they can be happy for me, i can keep on plugging away at this goofiness.apparently, one of my professors is rewarding me for

today's installment of random weirdo crap will be including things i to say and/or write. we all have this secret list in our heads, whether we admit it or not. i'm just cool because i like to admit in public that i'm a goofy nerd. like the other day when i was out to lunch with tanya and discovered that i had my underpants on inside out. it wouldn't have been so funny had i not come out of

my latest nuwsed item that i love? a pink armless wingback chair from the local consignment store. stuart copeland seems to love it as well, so i've decided to share it with him.... as if i have a choice. he didn't like the day i put double-stick tape on the cushion. it was meant to train everyone to stay offa my damn chair! it worked until i took off the tape, at which point they all took

the show is cast! and if i do say so myself, i have gotten some truly faboo peeps. we were lucky enough to have gotten in some people with chops and strong opinions. since i have a penchant for collaboration, this work to my advantage in making my job easier. i'm sure i'll be slapping my forehead when la revolucion begins, but it'll be worth it."speak up! move left! move right! pick up

altruistic things i did this week:gave a pregnant hitchhiker a ride to the bus station to meet up with a friend of hers (it was night and she was all alone and a sweet girl)stopped by a broken down car to ask if they need to use my phone (they already had someone on the way to help them out and tow the car)let derek finish the dulce de leche ice cream in the freezer without a fight (i had some at

got some reading done this afternoon, but i'll have to go over it again tomorrow. my face is in the shape of "quoi?" this evening when i think about the basics of modern political theory and the effects of realism on contemporary diplomatic strategy. maybe i at least sound smart when i talk about what confuses me. takes a big head to fit all those big words, and i have just the hat collection

par-tayyy! the opening is tonight and i am whoop-a-dee-doo excited. somewhere around my normal stage fright time this afternoon (3pm or so) i should get the feeling that i'm going to throw up, followed by the "no one is coming to my birthday party" anxiety. by the time the reception starts it will settle down and i can breathe. i've practiced my tour speechifying, i know what i'm wearing, and

derek has become an activist. right now he's on the phone with the audobon society. see, we have these giant sycamores out in front of our building. each year as summer turns to autumn, they attract a gigantic herd of purple martins that roost and tweet in the trees for about an hour or so each evening. this goes on from maybe august until early october, starting around 8 pm. they socialize

since i'm so lazy, i considered starting a twitter account that i could update from my phone. then i remembered that i'm also kind of boring and crazy. no one needs a twitter update that i'm sitting around playing with my toes and making animal noises. (yes, i still do that! it's a soothing thing for me.) for now you'll just have to imagine the slightly amped-up things i do with my spare

today i am going to pig out. last month i sweat so much in the heat here.. and playing with the kids all day... and rehearsing in the back of a warehouse, that i had to go buy new pants. i tried eating extra cookies. i tried just being bloaty. i still lost a pant size. good thing i found jeans on sale, because i HATE going in fitting rooms. all that florescent lighting is kind of creepy.i

welcome to my hiatus! errr, i mean, back from another hiatus. i don't even remember where i was last month. there was cleaning, and a show, and some random thrift store shopping. other than that, i've managed to remain quite boring. in a good way.drama at work! we are now operating with as little labor cost as possible. sure, sometimes we get lucky and actually have five or six people

even though i'm not a catholic anymore, i enjoy the challenge of lent. it's a time of year where i set a goal for myself and then end with a reward. at times when disappointing things are going on around me - such as derek losing his job - it's a great excercise in restraint and payoff. this year i'd like to look at getting a new digital camera (polaroid pogo!) and figure if i can hold off for

cat update: mr. bubbas is self-petting with the front of my left shoulder while purring away like a chainsaw. stuart copeland has his face burrowed into my right elbow as if the world is too bright for him. princess dizzy is sitting on the new rug a few feet away, staring in contempt of the boys' neediness. it's hard to type with two cats on your desk and a third passing judgment nearby. on

in yet another case of serendipity in my life, i've come across the theme of "almost" as of late. this isn't necessarily a bad thing in most cases. it can be a one-door-closes situation if i seize on the right opportunities. does that sound too positive? oh no! trust me, i'm nowhere near as chipper as it might appear. i can pout with the best of them.a job interview: not so much a no... as

so the streets are finally clear enough to drive without constantly thinking about my car insurance. going to work in second gear is always a thrill. it's still cold, but in a glorious and shiny way. i have a million hats and turtlenecks to wear in this weather anyway. callbacks on my auditions have been postponed due to the icy streets. hopefully after they happen tonight we'll know more

nothing much going on around here this week. i'm trying to get back into my groove at work and home after our little break with tim and mary. (yes tim, i did have a good time playing rock band... mostly on the drums, because the flying sticks were hilarious.) it's too bad we missed the snow! we had a mild sleet in my neck of the woods last night, but it didn't even freeze long enough to hit

let me say this first:by simply complaining about the "obama is black, in case you didn't know" thing earlier this week, it seems to have gone away for me. perhaps the powers that be heard my rantings and have converted him into simply being "president-elect obama" at last. heave ho, historical overkill! i realize that yes, it is a big deal. however, i also think he got a job and he has to do

last weekend derek and i cleaned out the bedroom closet. i went impulse shopping with mary before she left and we managed to drag home both a fantastic closet organizer and a tall skinny rack with hooks for my entryway. they're wonderful and silvery and have that baker's rack look to them. nothing like going to the gigantor home supply shop as part of your girls' day, is there? she was

on a triumphant note, i made chicken and rice for dinner tonight... all by myself. derek is still alive and i haven't thrown up as of yet. this is a vastly huge hurdle for me to overcome. my mad skills in the kitchen seem to be expanding past that old arch nemesis being the poultry group. as of this moment, i am invincible.andy sent me a package last week. not only was it a shock to receive

just when i was reading the news of the day and thinking to myself "oh, what's the point? we're all going to hell in a handbasket anyway, aren't we?" on thursday, stuart copeland burrowed his little kitty face into the pit of my elbow and promptly started snoring. there are few things in this world i find cuter than the sound of a cat sawing logs and sprawling sideways in an undignified

if ever you are jealous of all the business travel that derek gets to do, you can feel sorry for him now. he just arrived home about an hour ago after a very long journey. mary has a version of what happened on her blog... and a faboo photo of me in target. go click on her and check it out.

this morning i went to see "milk" when i was out running around town. wow. can i even tell you more than just wow and do it justice? all i can say is that it's a total recommend from me. i had to pull over on the drive home because i was still so emotional from the film; this, a story to which i already knew several of the details beforehand. let's just say this: it was disconcertingly

we were all bracing for impact yesterday at work as i walked in and grabbed my normal snacky bar for breakfast. opened the doors, turned on the music, aaannd.... a whole bunch of not much. we even had time to clean and fuss over displays. business picked up some after lunchtime, but it was by no means anything earth-shattering. the same thing was happening all over town from what i hear. the

i didn't get the part. it's actually not bad news. the girl who did get it is completely adorable and perfect for the show, so i'm not even worried about it. the better news is that liz did the get part i wanted her to get; the part that we all secretly wanted to have anyway. it looks to be a really fun production. wheee! there is a possibility that i'm doing okay on medication... for now.
