2005-03-01 I feel odd. i think it's just the nervousness of the play but I don't feel 100%. I also have a really painful ache in my back. I have no idea where that came from but after this meeting this morning it hurt to walk. I think I am falling apart. I woke up the other night crying because my knee was in so much pain. I am taking that as a bad thing. I think I may need someone to drag me to the doctor. :( Drag me cause I really really dont want to go. Back to work. :( 2005-03-01 Hey all.

I feel like I have avoided most of the pain-in-assness of our writer. I mean he hasn't really given me any advice or suggestions...until today. I take umbrage at the fact that there was nothing till the show is up and then emails. I don't mind people giving suggestions and shit but my alligiance is with Jaki and for her to not be cc'd on these emails is rubbing me the wrong way. Don't get me wrong, I am still having a wonderful time and at this point the play has a life of it's own and I think we have done wonders with this insipid piece of crap that happens to have a good message. I harbor zero regrets. I am glad I did this and always will be. Life is too short to be angry or hold a gruge because that just gets in the way of you living your life to the fullest. So I will continue to call him a "hippy ass hat" under my breath and put on a great show. To which I have to say that I am so lucky to be surrounded but such nice and wonderful actors. Thank you all for making it all fun. So let's put Mr. R.S. behind us, put the Rude Feud about the whole Unbecoming thing away and live in the present. Fuck me, now I sound like a hippy. This this must stop. LOL i need to poo
2005-03-05 so the third night of the play is over and again it was a fun time. I felt a little off and that annoyed me but we got the point across and did what we set out to do. In other news I dipped into that fun range of rage that I have lurking just beneath my skin. This "person" attacked in her own way a friend and that just pissed me off. I felt a little bad showing that semidark side of myself, and it wasn't all that bad really, but I was pissed. You don't attack family, and the Rudes are family. I didn't attack her because of the commitment that I have with the play but if this had been the end of the run I would have attacked and left that cunt bleeding. Sigh. I wish anger didn't feel so good sometimes. Oh well. tomorrow is laundry and errands and then back again into the play. I am looking forward to what audience we will have tomorrow. 2005-03-07 Well, of course And I was wondering why this day seems to suck ass.
2005-03-07 This test can kiss my ass. I am NOT a 6. 666 maybe.
2005-03-08 i love it!
2005-03-10 I dont know why I didn't think about this till discsophist pointed it out but I agree that the UK covers of the new Harry Potter book are much better than the US version. I really like the adult cover. Amazon.co.uk here is come. :)

2005-03-11 Because everyone NEEDS a little Charo in their day!
2005-03-11 ya know, trying to watch the Episode 3 trailer on a dial up laptop (P3 600) really really blows 2005-03-14 Stoopid cold. I think it has effectivly taken hold now. Blarg. Though I am hopped up on goofballs at the moment I can still feel thecold sitting there, laughing at me. It really was just a matter of time. Though it's not the worst cold I have had and should be gone by thursday, it just annoys me that it's even here. But I did get an hour massage last night to try and clense it from my body. I dont know if it worked or helped but I was a puddle at the end. Un becoming is, for the most part, dead. And I couldn't be happier to dance on its grave. Overall I guess, and maybe this is from my part, it wasn't all that bad. If the 'writer', and i use the term veeeeeeery losely, had just kept his nose out of the whole thing it would have been better for everyone. We could have gone with the show that we knew was poorly written and made it a good show, which I think we did. irregardless, I had a wonderful time with a great bunch of actors. It's strange being an actor, and why did I just hesitate like 5 seconds about calling myself an actor...hmmm, and getting to know a bunch of people and hoping that you all get along and that you can trust everyones ability to make it through the show with comfort and then bonding and letting it all go. Its like a highly condensed version of high school. And everyone in the cast couldn't have been nicer or more talented or more easy going. I'm sorry to see it all end great memories will endure. And there is always April 2nd :) 2005-03-14 Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead is on DVD March 22. Guess what I just bought :) 2005-03-14 ear wax really really smells funky 2005-03-16 More than you really want to know about me.

1. I am conscious of every step I take. I am so insanly worried about my walk that I can't take a step without thinking that it's awkward and hence trying to correct the next step. Probably why my knees are so bad.

2005-03-17 i hate computers. i hate computers. blah blah blah ... CRAP! going to nation. am drinking. fun WILL be had!!! dammit." 2005-03-18 Buffy creator joins Wonder Woman The creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is to take on a new female superhero after signing up to write and direct the Wonder Woman movie. Joss Whedon described the DC Comics character as 'the most iconic female heroine of our time". "In a way, no one has met her yet," he said. "What I love most about icons is finding out what"s behind them, exploring the price of their power." Linda Carter played the character in the 1970s TV series. The character of Wonder Woman, famed for her red and gold costume, was born on Paradise Island, and was blessed with the powers of strength and flight. The film is being produced by Joel Silver, producer of the Matrix trilogy. Inspiration to millions 'there"s no one better than Joss to adapt the legendary Wonder Woman comic book character created in the 1940s into a dynamic feature film for 21st Century audiences," said Silver. "Wonder Woman was the first great female superhero to emerge from comic books and later inspire millions of fans in her television incarnation... but this groundbreaking heroine has yet to be reinvented for the feature film arena." Whedon created the character of Buffy in the screenplay for the 1992 film. He distanced himself from the movie because of the direction it eventually took, and the film bombed. But he did not give up on the Slayer and went on to write and executive produce seven seasons of the cult TV series. He also produced the spin-off Angel series. He is currently directing the film Serenity, based on his short-lived sci-fi series Firefly." 2005-03-22 i find it a little disturbing when I get lots of birthday greetings from websites. all these bots are sending me birthday emails.freeeeky 2005-03-22 Had a wonderful birthday weekend. Went to see Rent with friends and cried my eyes out. I really love that show. I know poeople poo poo it but I think it a very well made and fun show. But I am biased since I know someone who's infected...blah blah blah. Anyway, then matty and I went to Nation for 80's night and man was it packed! But the music was good and the company was good. I always have fun with matty. And we spent the evening with all his deaf friends and I am really trying to get back what little I knew of my sign language. I can read it, hehe, but I feel dumb signing it. But they all made me feel at ease but it got scary when Matty left to help a friend and there i was with a few drinks in me and surrounded by deaf people. lol I did okay tho. Sunday got out of work at Jcrew and went to the country to see Ky. It was good to get away from the city and veg and look at the scenery and literally lay on the grass and feel the air blow across you. So we hiked and watched tv and ate and watched more tv. It was very nice. I love the country but I also love the city. I need to cut myself in half or something. lol' 2005-03-22 Hey I have a friend looking for a house in Bethany or any of the beaches over on the shore for the summer. I dont know how long, I assume a week, but does anyone know a relator out there? He needs a place that sleeps 10 for him and his family. And he wants bayside. Anyone have anything? 2005-03-23 every had one of those days where it seems like everyone around you has their head up their butt? I was in such a great mood this morning, and I still am, but people are just being dumb here. its shocking really. and the amount of restatement is driving me crazy. Like one person will say something, like at this meeting this morning, and everyone will agree but then will continue to talk about it and continue to agree about something that needs no furthur discussion. Maybe this is why no one likes when i run a meeting. i run very very short meetings cause I have NO tolerance for people who are going to offer nothing new. God i can be an ass :)" 2005-03-24  You are RENT. You take on AIDS through a rock-opera atmosphere. You are somehow able to be choc full of glamor and gritty reality at the same time. You are very entertaining, but you also teach a poignant message at the same time. Your songs include "Seasons of Love," "La Vie Boheme," and "What You Own." What Broadway Musical Are You? brought to you by Quizilla 2005-03-24 oh my god i am in such a bad/good mood. its odd. i feel tons of annoyance bubbling in me but i dont know why and I can't pinpoint it. I think a lot is because I didn't sleep because someone called me at 1:30am (hi Jo) and then that broke my sleep schedule for the night. The I was doing taxes and bills and all that crap and I think that it all compounded into getting pissed off. Thank god I picked up the newest Rammstein album cause it"s good and if you play it really loud and drive through DC in the morning to work, people give you the dirtiest looks. Its actually quite funny. I need to take another vacation out to the country and veg in the tub. :) I think it all boils down to wanting more time to do things and more money to do them. One of my best friends is in a show in NY and I haven't the time or the money to go see him. It"s his NY Stage debut and he"s even in the NYTimes. I am still going to try and work something out. Now i just feel like i"m complaining. I"m out."
2005-03-24 Sandra Bullock is so hot it hurts. She was on Ellen, yes I"m working hard at the office today, and funny and cute and stuff. I am having a horrible hair day.
I think I just found a grey hair on my eye brow. Soon my transformation to Wilford Brimley will be complete!!
for reference here he is: Its a bad pic but the man has small furry rodents stapled to his head that mask as eyebrows. I have a piece of chip in my tooth that won't come out. I need a tee tree toothpick. mmmm The oil light came on in my car today. I KNOW that can't be good. My back is killing me. I understand my body will go to crap over the years but does it have to happen in birthday week? sheesh 2005-03-25 I don't want to be at the office. I don't want to be at the office.. lalalalalalalala And I can't stop thinking about how incredibly bad the NY version of "un becoming" was. we watched it last night after rehearsal and it was honestly worse than i thought it could be. There was NO energy. No sexual ... anything between anyone! No wonder Sam is getting a little on the side, Emma's a cold fish. And Sam is ugly as fuck. Oh yeah and GAY. Super gay. And John, again no sexual energy between Emma and he, is also MEGA GAY. It"s just silly. The whole thing was so bad. Words fail me. I need to pee 2005-03-28 Are you completely deranged? For some reason that quote won't leave my brain. I think it has something to do with the incredible amount of stupidity that I have been coming in contact with all day. I mean it really amazing me that people can exist being the idiots and assholes they are. Mind numbing, really. Great weekend. Worked at JCrew and had a rough yet good time on Saturday. Sunday did church with the family and spent the whole sermon staring at people in the church and admiring its nice organ. Wow, that was an unfortunate sentence. The sermon was good I guess, I didn't really listen to anything the guy was saying but I was listening to the words. Apparently the interim minister is quite intelligent and some of the words and phrases he was using were very well put together. It doesn't happen very often where I notice incredibly well formed sentences and the use of words that I haven't heard before. It was nice. After that I went to my house, picked up Ky and took him to meet the family. It was fun because we had part of the birthday celebration and easter all in one. My nephews were extremely cute. They loved looking for easter eggs all over the downstairs. They back to my house where Ky and I watched TV before he headed back home. All in all it was a nice weekend. Also got great news that a friend of mine has a new job and a bunch of issues cleared up with health insurance. I am very happy about that 2005-03-28 so as I drifted off to bed last night I caught an episode of Robot Chicken on Adult Swin on Cartoon Network. My god I love this show. Some of it is so so but last night they has this Charlie Brown parody and the thing was fucking hysterical. They had a part where Peppermint Patty and Marci have this incredible kiss and one where charlie brown kicks Lucy when she has the ball and calls her a bitch. It was fucking hysterical. There was another skit about the burial of Benny Hill and they have the Benny Hill music and the sped up footage. It was fucking hysterical. Have I mentioned that this is all done with dolls? It was awesome 2005-03-29 oh crap. just got a call from a director that wants me to possibly fill in for the role of Biff in Death of a Salesman. The play goes up in a MONTH. That"s a lot to learn in a month. Stress. Stress. 2005-03-29 funny as shit! www.peepresearch.org" 2005-03-29 this are the grestest thing and the box is so damn cute.
2005-03-29 There's a Lego star wars game for the xbox?! why don't people tell me these things! 2005-03-30 so i was driving to work today, because it"s a lot faster then walking, and I was infront of this - i can only assume "couple"- and man was this chick ugly! It looked like someone had taken a basketball pump to her in the middle of the night and made her all oddly puffy. Now I don't have a problem with fat people, per se, but something about her irked me. She had sorta tan skin and chose to wear silver sunglasses. And they were big, like Elton John looking glasses and may have even had rhinestones on them. Her skin and the glasses did NOT match. It also looked like she had this tight perm but had greased the top and pulled it back on her head. And she was singing some song and bobbing her head and all that did was make her uglier. Her mouth transformed into some bloated Billy Idol/Jessica Simpson/Ray Charles thing. It was fugly. And her "boyfriend", though i"m not sure because they didn't kiss when he got out of the car at DuPont Circle, was this little waifish thing who seemed to hug the other side of the car when she was driving. I"m still thinking about it 5 hours later so you know it was scary. Yesterday I saw this woman, she was like 6"2 and kinda pretty, who looked like of the of "elves" or whatever they were from Dark Crystal. I get bored driving in the mornings." 2005-03-31 the pink 6 gb ipod is taunting me. its calling me in my sleep. i have no need cause I have the 20 gb white one but why do I still want the pink one. besides the obvious reasons... 2005-03-31 ya know i was at work today and it someone in my cube was talking about biothythms and so I went and found a site and did mine and my intellectual and emotional levels were super low. After my last meeting, i know why but too bad it"s just not LJ material. But let"s just says it"s sucky. Oh well. And in other news I am Biff in Death of a Salesman. I will get more details when I meet with Ed Starr this weekend. I have a lot to catch up on. I farted." | ||||||
