update

So so so...

So I'm back to assisting the CEO. It's pretty cool besides the having to be here at 8:30 and not leaving til at least 5:30. Today, the plan is to stay late and get out an application that's due Thursday. I believe it will happen. 3:00 - 4:30pm is a timeframe where I sometimes captiulate though -- I mean I decide that I'm going home as soon as I possibly can, even if I've made firm resolutions about plans earlier in the day/ the day before/ blah blah. Then, if I go home, I get drunk guys, so... I better stay here tonight. (Wondering a bit about my drinking... not the most pressing thing right now, but it occurs to me now and then how much I care for it. I mean, remember when it was like "Well, as long as you don't drink alone..." But that's very easy to say when you don't live alone!)

My lovelife is wackier, wack-er? , than ever, but eventhough it's decidedly abnormal, I'm glad there's anything to speak of, as there so often is not. If you want to hear about it though it's definitey a phone call situation. It's highly unbloggable.

Ummmm... trying to get a smoke break/ smoked salmon break combined in the next ten minutes. Cliffhanger: can I work it?

XOXO

Per yahoo astrology for tomorrow

"That center-of-attention jerk is ruining your gig. You're dying to talk to that office cutie, but they're hogging the territory. Use your guile to lure them away from the target. Once you've derailed their efforts, go for the kill."

Strongly worded wouldn't you say? "The Kill." Glad that's for tomorrow, 'cuz my killing energy is a bit sapped today.

Still drunk!

This is Bad News. I feel like throwing up! No more drinking this week. I have to be at work at 7:30am for the rest of the week and this is no way to go. If only I could drink whisky and wine and get five and half hours of sleep and not feel so bad!

It's really sad. And I am really drunk.

Ring ring..."Good morning, T--- bleeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaacccch"

I hope this doesn't happen.

I went on a ski trip to Vermont last weekend. It was really fun, and also some sharp ice hit me on the head when I fell hard on some other ice. very limited bleeding... it was only a scratch. Then my neck was really stiff for a while (on the mend.) I am moving to Vermont sooner than you think.

A great thing that happened over the holidays

Setting: table at hotel restaurant. Around table sit Alexis, Ben, Steph, and Maddie.

Ben: (out of nowhere) Mojitos, mo Problems.
Stephanie: (has not heard him, is not paying any attention to Ben.)
Ben: Dija hear what I said Steph? Steph... Steph... dija hear what I said?

Here we go

the number one thing bothering me is still useless pieces of paper that are sent by mail. Like when you get a verizon statement and it comes with a shiny advertisement thing that is just paper to throw away and they obviously printed a million of them. It's a tragedy and I wish Al Gore could be president and do something about it or I would like to form a group that protets about it and I only have about fifty friends, so I need serious committment from some of you on this. Please can we make a club against stupid paper.

What else? I don't really want to write on my blog but it's time and iwant my friends to say hi on the intenet. I'm lame.

I might not get into school and I really want to get into school.

what else?

I eat way too much tabouleh and I think it might be fatiguing me and also making me sweat more.

I hurt my elbow AGAIN getting dropped on it by an over-excited college friend. Sometimes people think because I'm small that the most appropriate thing at a given moment is to throw me around like a nimble sack. Gravity still affects me though... just as much as anybody else! Elbow injury is going to stay with me in 2008 apparently.

That's all for now.

I'll try to write again soon about something tho.

I want to buy about seven expensive things. Eight.

love
Alexis

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.

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
