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

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

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:

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.

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
