well, its been a fun week.
our play is not quite up to snuff, so, we are delaying the opening. And we got an understudy. But there is a little tiny party for production staff tomorrow night... I wonder how much I can drink before they cut me off... no I am kidding. No really... last week, I had two beers on Sunday, and one beer on monday, and thought to myself as I choose not to have a second beer on Monday, that 4 beers in 2 days, might mean I have a problem.
Its been a long hard tech, and our actress, has had a very hard time. I don't know the entire extent of everything, so, I can't say anything for certain as to why she is having a hard time. I have strong opinions, as I am sure anyone reading this will know. But anyway.
There is much to look forward to this week. Stitch and Pitch on Thursday, its a baseball game a bunch of knitters go to, and there is free stuff.
I broke down and signed up for an AT&T account, and ordered an iPhone. I know its silly, and wasteful, and silly, but childishly, I really want one. I bought an ipod touch about a month ago, and its all that I ever wanted except it doesn't take pictures or make calls. Is it only to update Facebook with inanities, maybe... but its a pda you can play games and movies on....
Its funny that I do this just as iTunes gets more and more on my nerves.
The question now becomes, what becomes of the ipod touch? I have a few ideas, and here they are, my roommate, my roommate's brother, my friend Ali, or my dad.
My roommate, because its a silly piece of technology he would never get for himself, I worry it will make him want an iphone though, I believe it is gateway technology. My roommate's brother, who is undergoing dialysis 3 times a week, now there is someone who might need a diversion that is portable. Its not the brother who I have met, but, still. Ali? well she knows she does not want an iphone, since she wants to get a phone that takes sim cards for other countries, since she travels, but she might think is fun. My dad, well he might think it is fun too, or not...
if none of these 4 wants it, I am going to sell it for $100 on Craigs list or through a friend.
To counteract this willful spendthriftyness, I bought a cd at my bank, $500 now, and adding $200 a month, for the next two years. At the end of two years I should have $5000. spend and save. a new policy.

Should have posted on Monday
I meant to post on monday, as it was my day off for a little bit, I am lame.
I am about to start day two of tech week. and this show is intermidable. er... unending? I had such high hopes really. because I really loved the book.
I can decide yet if it is the actress, or the director, but I think its the actress, this 90 minute play is so ponderous, and the book - not ponderous.
I always thought they should get a younger actress to do it, and they just make her up to be older.
its unfair of me to say, maybe ageist, but its huge... and we have no understudy, and she can't learn the lines.
well, anyway, I may be over stating the case, I have gotten 5 hours of sleep last night, and I am forcing myself to not go to work till 9am, not that its going to give me more sleep, but, there was no big reason to come at 8am, except guilt. but I really should make a bit of coffee, or drink tea, and make my breakfast, lunch and dinner, and get this party started.
On an animated movie front. I watched The Cat Returns, (a Miyazaki film) yesterday during dinner. It was pretty cute. I bought a few Miyazaki films at... sigh... Costco, the shorter ones we can watch during the 2 hour dinner break, I had hoped to share Spirited Away with Jeanette, but it might be too long, we can do it if we start right away, so, beverages will have to be bought at lunch.
What else... there was somehing... oh right, I am pretty convinced that I NEED an iphone, because I am a hopeless consumer, and must keep up with the cool kids, plus, constant connection to facebook. maybe I will start to twitter. ohhhh.... but I have given myself the task of coming up with 85 reasons to get one (the price of monthly service) I wonder if I smoked 85 dollars worth of cigarettes a month, could just send it to another blood sucker.

Days off are not the same
when you are a little depressed. Oh course I have no reason to be depressed. But I am a little.
Its hard to motivate. and I miss cigarettes a little.
I want to hide in a cave for a week, instead I have to tech a show, which might be excruciatingly slow... or could go very quickly.
I don't really know what I want.
I did knit with my friend Lauren today, and that was nice. Now I need to put the headphones on and clean my room and the kitchen.
blah blah... maybe this is hormonal... I hope so, that would be nice.
tomorrow I will be peppier

What... Over a month?
It seems as though its been over a month since I last updated. Where did my resolution to update everyday go?
sometimes it seems as if my life is so boring there is nothing to say, or I am too tired.
But lets see what I can do.
We had a nice run of Othello, it was good, but nothing spectacular... which was unfortunate, and it could very well have not been spectacular if Bart had directed it, but this was hyped up, and it did pretty well, and was decent, so, thats enough of that.
I will say I thought on the whole the entire cast was very pleasant, surprisingly so, since that is not always the case, often times, there is one or two who are just nasty people. The entire supporting cast was from the previous production in new york, I think, the musician might not have been, but I only just guessed this by looking at facebook photos, but I digressed, I think the original cast was very tired of this show, they didn't want to play anymore. During the second to last week, we had a Seattle heatwave (over 100 degrees for one day, surrounded by 90 degree days.... we broke records.) and there are maybe 4 air conditioners in the city, so, most of the cast became whiny bitches, the last couple of days in the run they were also a little needy. I will say that Sean (who played Othello) was my favorite, he was very funny, and super nice. Plus he never complained to me, would sometimes comment on adverse conditions after curtain call. Did I mention he was funny. Elisabeth who played Desdemona was good too, though very quiet.
Lets see, after this show was open, I had a little fued with Dave, the master electrician, but that seems better, and now during load in I think Adam the swing tech in a freaking whiny crybaby, and I want to smack him for just being a bad stage hand. I am still mad at him.
Um.... I quit smoking. All in all its been okay, not too terrible, its made me a little touchy, I have drunk a couple of gallons of kava tea, which is helpful. I have also, puffed on five cigarettes since I officially quit, not smoked the whole things, just lite them really, I told myself it was to make sure I didn't want to smoke, but it was the nicotine. So, my progress has been hampered by that. Its been 3 days, since I last puffed on a cigarette, and about 3 weeks since I quit. I try to think of it less as if its going well to its a done deal, like I am a non-smoker and thats it. But all the little excuses pop up, and the things you blamed on cigarettes are still there, and the triggers for smoking, the biggest of which being, I am a procrastinator, so, I am always going to get going on something after a cigarette. well, I still think that, and I still get nothing done. so.... Not sure what to do there.
Recent-ish news... my roommate is in the hospital, he had chills and nausea so, he called 911. He has a hard time functioning sometimes, and I think he over reacts. I also think he has enjoyed the attention he gets when he is sick. there are some people in the world, who always have to prove they are the sickest in the room, and he is one of those. You tell them you dont feel well, they probably have the flu. Your knee hurts theirs hurts too, possibly more. We have all met them. Maybe its because I grew up with the least sympathic person in the world, being sick got you nothing, but I don't automatically freak out that he is about to die. Now, he is in the hospital because he is 400 lbs, and if they don't know what it is, at that weight they hospitalize you. Partly because they don't realize he is pretty healthy all things considered.
But on the flip side, they said he would be released today if he remained stable, and he isn't home yet. So, I wont say I am not worried.
Boobie Bump update.... nothing to say, still waiting the 3 months till I go to the surgeon again. I think its one month to go, or six weeks. I panicked the other day, because I thought it was bigger and more sore... but I did a little math, and its hormones.
what else... oh, my ipod died, so I had to get it checked out at the apple store, which was frightening, it was like a clockwork orange in there, not the violence, the sterile-ness of it. but I think they may have brainwashed me, not only did I get my ipod replaced, but over the next week I bought a new nano, and an ipod touch, plus assessories.
so, good bye for now, more updates later.
