May 04, 2001  Wow, what a suck ass day. Work seems to be sliding down the slippery shit slope into hell. I have no drive and no desire to do anything though I am actually very freaking busy. Oh well. Also tonight is the second weekend of the play. Yeah! I'm actually excited even though I have no energy for my scene. I will have to bone up on Red Bull and Starbucks quad-shot tall Americano. Yum!! On Monday there were auditions for the next play, Twelfth Night, and I think I did okay but I don't think I got a part. I'm waiting for the call back list but I just don't think I did that well. Oh well there is next time. Also last night there was the cut up rehearsals. Basically we just run through the play and do silly things. The whole thing looked like an odd sort or orgy, with Shakespeare. Very odd but get this many horny people in a room and who knows what will happen.  Tomorrow Leah and I are looking at apartments. I still want to live on my own but I don't think the finances are all in order. Then she, Scott and I are going to the tidal basin for paddle boating. Should be a blast.


May 06, 2001 Well another weekend is over and I just watched the latest installment of gay Sunday on Showtime with Further Tails of the City. It was really good to see that back on the air. I remember watching the first series with my roommate DJ and having a blast. Then we saw the cast on the street during the Stonewall parade. Plus Laura Linney getting daring and showing some breasts. In other news, had the second week of the play and it had to be out best yet. The Friday show was unbearable hot and sitting in the heat for a three hour play has got to suck 'cause it sucked on stage. Saturday was awesome and I got tons of laughs, which is a good thing. Next weekend is the last weekend and I'm not looking forward to it all ending. But I am going for callbacks for Twelfth Night! So we'll see what happens. 

Still looking for a place to live and my roommate is in Delaware right now and I'm afraid he's going to come home and say that he bought an house and then I'm out on the street. Fucking finances.


May 09, 2001 Well, am I good or what. My roommate got back from Delaware and he said that he put a bid on a house. Which means that I need to find a way to get a new apartment in a little less that two months. Oh joy. I have options but now that I'm thirty, I would like to live on my own but that brings up the problem of money. Why are one bedroom apartments in Alexandria $1000! Fuck me. So it looks like I have to bite it awhile and move back in the the 'rents, first time in 12 years, until my friend can get out of her lease. Grrr. So in the meantime I have been drowning my sorrows in movies. I have seen The Emperor's New Groove, which was a much better movie than I thought it was. The two disc set is really cool. I also finally saw Ten Things I Hate About You which is also a really cool movie. The soundtrack also kicks ass, especially since Save Ferris is the band at prom. Plus I'm on a Heath Ledger kick right now.

In theatre news I got a part in Twelfth Night! It's again very small but gets the feet in the door and makes me fucking happy. Plus my friend Dave has a part so we get to goof off again for the next few months. 

Sigh. Time for sleep. 


May 13, 2001 Well it's all over now. Henry VI has been put to rest. But it was a hell of a time while I was doing it. Now I'm looking forward to Twelfth Night. Also last night was the cast party. Oy. Since the play wasn't over until 11:30 we didn't make it to the party until 12:30 am and proceeded to stay up and drink and play Truth or Dare (please god I hope the photos don't come out) until 6:00am when I figured that I had to get some sleep. But even driving home at 6:00 am I was still not all that tried; until I got into bed and than it was all over and I slept in until 1:00p.m. Felt nice.

Fuckity fuckity fuck fuck fuck. This described my options for a place to live.


May 17, 2001 So I was thinking the other day (hey it could happen!) how nice it would be to be able to be someone else for a day. This all comes after driving around yesterday and seeing so many different types of people. There was this cute old lady at the mall and she was staring into the window of some store and she had the biggest smile on her face. Why was she smiling? What was she feeling then? I want to know. The there was this unfuckingbelievable scary old lady who was walking out of the mall as I was going in. She was probably 40 but looked 60, had platinum blonde hair, some kind of wrestling t-shirt on, jeans shorts that were WAY too short and all the cellulite on her legs is probably still jiggling and sloshing around. It was scary. Words can't do it justice. But what was she thinking? Is she happy? Is her little dough boy son happy? I guess I was just in the mood to think last night which is why I went to see A Knight's Tale. Such a good movie. I am going to get a section up under the Fun Stuff area and write reviews of all the summer movies. I love summer.


May 22, 2001 So I erred this weekend. I was just have a great time at Nations and enjoying all the music when a new friend of ours and I started talking and flirting. But the thing is he has a boyfriend and I knew that and it didn't stop me. Well I did feel guilty and I kept asking if it was okay and he said yes. Long and short all we did was kiss which is semi harmless at the club, until some guy walked past and told us to get a room. Oooops. That's been happening a lot. :-) But this boy was beautiful. Each time he looked into my eyes I melted  and the look in his eyes made me want to reach out and grab him. But he is with someone and I would feel pretty bad if I broke anything up. I just hope I didn't do anything damaging to his preexisting relationship. That would suck.

Other news: picked up the Go-gos album and it's pretty darn good. I was surprised. 

Rehearsals began this week for the next play and Dave is there again. He almost dropped but stayed. Besides the fact that I find him attractive, he's genuinely a nice and funny guy that I would like to hang with.

Back to work.


May 28, 2001 Well Memorial Day is almost over and that means that it's back to work soon. I think that this long weekend has been really nice. I hung with the family on Sunday and saw Pearl Harbor (fucking excellent movie - the critics are wrong) and then ate too much food. Had another picnic thing with coworkers and that was nice and again ate too much food. Am going to the gym tomorrow! Had a fun time the other night at the bar, didn't want to go but was forced and was bored beyond comprehension and met this guy in the same spot I was. He was forced by his friend to come as I was and we bitched about our dumbass friends. Its nice to meet cool people at strange places. 

That's it. Off to write the review of Pearl Harbor.
