Blogpost from thursday night when the internet wasn't working

I am watching West Side Story and eating Tabouleh. Say Alexis do you like tabouleh, can you eat a lot of it? Yes. Yes.

So I realized work is sucking the life out of me. I’m thinking about my personal statement. Hey – grad students - Is “The life is being sucked out of me and I am really really sure that I like it better when it’s not” a good “thesis” for a personal statement?

I am fine. Everything is fine.

But I don’t want to anymore I don’t want to. I don’t want to have to be quick about connecting people to other people on the phone – even that! How do people do it? How do they do it?

Oh yes --- The AIIIIIIIIIR is hummmmmmmmming.

Anybodys is a wonderful character in West Side Story. Is anybody actually Puerto Rican is West Side Story? Tony sort of looks it… funny.

When I hate work this much I am getting my period. That is what is happeneing. Hormones are really interesting. I need to read Medea. I need to re-read Medea with the idea that she was hormone imbalanced.

I am really mad about work. Work today made me mad about everything. And nothing happened to me, per se. And that does not help.

Natalie Wood – so lovely, such a bizarre accent. It doesn’t matter.

The singer for Natalie Wood is amazing.

I finished watching it now. It’s incredible. Shakespeare. Leonard Bernstien. Jerome Robbins. Stephen Sondheim. Slain I am. And Natalie Wood’s accent improved and improved over shooting I think.

heart

This is your correspondant blogging from within the annals of power. Assiting the CEO this week. Oh did you know he is also the chariman of the hmmm-hmmm. It’s too sensitive – I can’t tell you anymore!

I love this shit. I am trying to incorporate it into my play which is now not just about boys but also about men a little bit! And adequacy, inadequacy and power. Anyway, don’t worry about that. Just this...

Some things never change whether you’re at your kitchen counter on Sked Street or in the heart of HQ NYC. One of those things is junk mail. Junk mail is amazing. Why was this sent? We need answers. Why do we live knowing we’ll die? What is the soul and where does it reside? Who sends this trash by mail?

Also, on the subject of Xmas cards – if you have a COMPANY - or you have COMPANY CONTACTS, send an invitation to a party or send nothing at all. Save a tree. Save an admin.

XO
miss you

Falling asleep last night

I resolved never to write on my blog again. But here I am, because I'm bored.

Anyway, one thing I left off the to-do list was start sending out the recommendation forms. I'm going away this weekend, and have a class tomorrow so this probably won't be worked on til Sunday but if you read this blog, you are welcome to remind me how I have to do this.

Also, I want to go home right now!!!! Do you think it's okay to ask my boss if I can leave early since I won't really have anything to do here later either I don't think. I think I'm going to. Thank the lord I've worked here over a year now and think it's fair to say this isn't a place where anyone is going to talk to me about being "proactive.' Knock on wood.

Do you love Andrew Bird? yes I love Andrew Bird. Got the latest CD as a gift. It isn't "the Mysterious Production of Eggs" because nothing ever will be, but oh. oh.

love
Alexis

my to-do list?

Sorry about the blog. Whole lot of empty head. Maybe now that I finally have an apartment and the job is sucking not enormously I have less to say. plus facebook. I really am sorry.

So, uh, my to do list:
pay rent
wash self
laundry & Shopping - when is myfriendh coming back? - she should do this with me.
Oh God Shopping. Who needs gifts? I want stuff from Lush.
Bank - deposits -- change address????????? can they handle that??
Wells Fargo- loan payback - write check
swiffer - buy and use.
get chairs for kitchen
One woman show. fuck the kitchen chairs, that's my rehearsal space.
Applications. Oh maybe, if I feel like it -- but see there's the one woman show and the museum for research is only open til 6:00 - problemo.

8 million crushes - okay, let's be realisitic, 575,000 crushes in the naked city. Problematic when starting to date a nice new person or no? just live with it the way one always does no?

Is this seriously my blog today? yes it seriously is.

love

lots of love

so into andrew bird. It is lucky how people keep making music that means something to some people isn't it? I thought the musicians might be running out soon, but they keep coming so screw these "world ends in 4 years" people.

love
A
