Things I would like to ask my temp agent but probably won't:
"Yo pimps, how come you don't be representin' me?"
"By business-casual, do you mean business-grunge or more business-slutty?"
"Ok, when you say Bob doesn't have my skill set, are you suggesting he can't sit on his ass and surf the internet for 8 hours as well as I can?"

I'm moody. I have moods. Of moroseness. Madness. Quite. And yet...
Right. So, I was all ready to blah blah blah for awhile about how depressed I've been lately. But then I left the house this afternoon, and out in the world i found:
A car that drove through a wall in a building right next to my dwelling. Things in my life could probably be worse.
A tree full of blue herons and their fledglings. There are still things of wonder of which i do not know.
A snowcone, which Bob bought for me. The simple sweet things are still good.
And a musical connection between a really good production of an adaptation of a quite old play, and an unwritten play based on someone's life which i am currently working on. A sign that I'm following the right, what?, path.
I don't know where I am just now, but depressed no longer covers it.

Wonky wonky wonk wonk
Suffering from allergies gone wild, I took a pill which tends to make me a little wonky. I did this right before going to a rehearsal, mind you, but only because the director has 3 cats.
Oddly, I actually liked the effect. A little wonk is apparently good for the lesbian ghost drama.
Of course, this could also have been wonkyness left over from my trip home. Many things happened, good and bad and "I don't know how I feel about them yet" and "I know how I feel and can't do a damn thing aout it". I'm still sorting.
Plus I've finished the Harry Potter book which, as I've mentioned, is a bit bleak.
So, I'm in a place of wonk and not quite sure where my head is to be found.
Thanks, but I already looked there.

H to the P to the Order of the Phoenix
Yes, Harry Potter is in the hizouse, yo. As am I, after an absence of nearly a fortnight. My 2 long plane rides served as a great excuse to buy the book the day it came out, which was a bit needed, as I otherwise never purchase hardbacked copies of things for myself.
But, let's face it, it's been a bloody long time what with JK working on those crappy movies and all. I call them crappy because I find them dull. I thought the BBC adaptations of The Chronicles of Narnia, stiff puppet Aslan and all, were oodles and gobs more magical.
Besides, since I bought it, I get to read it first.

I think I would complain less about being called for a 3 hour rehearsal and only working 30 minutes if I had a giant light-up sign with my name on it to sit in front of during my down time as in the Moby/Gwen Stefani South Side video. . . .
. . .or if I was getting reimbursed for my time as the Equity actors were, but I'm trying to be realistic here.

Is this a kissing play?
So I saw the BastardFest Scottish Play a few nights ago and was pretty subwhelmed. It was ok, shrug. There _was_, however, a lot more kissing going on than I ever remember before. It seemed as if the cast had a Kiss Fleance Onstage game going on. If they did, Banquo definitely won.

I went to the zoo today. I got to see the new penguin/puffin house. It was just as stinky as the old one, plus there are fewer barriers between the children and the animals. We've started a pool on how long before a kid gets attacked or falls in. I say 4 weeks.

The Simple Things
Breathing is good. Having to remove early from your mom's new condo to stay at a friend's house because you are severely allergic to something in the condo is not so good. Waking up because you can't breathe is really not good at all.
In other news, have just received word from the coast that I've been cast in a musical, for the first time in 9 years. Herm.

It's kind of cool to arrive home to find that your sister has become a more tolerant individual while you were away......especially after recently telling a story about her former racist tirades.
In other news, I'm accompanying her, her best friend, and her best friends' bridesmaids wedding dress shopping today. This is a little chore I managed to pretty much duck for my own wedding, so this should be, um, interesting? Whee.

So, here I am, safe on the ground in St. Louis, reunited (and it feels so good) with my internet access, and wondering if one state can really have a distinctive smell as compared to another, or if I'm just insane.
Not that the two are mutually exclusive, mind you.
Anyway, when I get a longer second, I'll share a bit about my flight from Seattle to Phoenix; I had no one to snark to on the plane, so I wrote stuff down.

The Birthday Girl, The Birthday Girl, Get Anything I Want 'Cause I'm The Birthday Girl
(thanks to Mr. Kaduce for the birthday song.)
Hello, and welcome to this, the anniversary of my birth. Hope you are all having a lovely day, and feel free to enjoy yourselves. (Even though it is MY birthday, I won't be greedy and hog all the joy.)
IF JUNE 10 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY ... you are attracted by power. (ok, well, yeah, but who isn't?) You like to call the shots but may only do so from behind the scenes. (that's about half right) A newfound seriousness and sense of duty (?!?) may involve females or a new love. (or both!) This is a year where you're seeking easy answers. You have a natural affinity for the sea, and a cruise brings relaxation. (cool) Children try your loving patience. (that's an understatement) It's a year to tie up loose ends...(...with extreme prejudice?)

Turtle Woman Has Come To Warn You
Beware, beware perky Broadway ingenues. Take heed middle-age musical matrons. Lo, you producer women of indeterminent age, HEAR ME!
Hear me, fear me for I am Turtle Woman and I am here before you as a hideous example for the future fate which awaits you in the future.
Witness how my mouth stretches the width of my face, yet does not move. Behold how my eyes have begun a migratory recession into the skull so cunningly almost concealed beneath my so-called skin. Note that I appear to have NO NOSE!
Repent, repent, shun the plastic surgeon, abhor the nose job, and for god's sake moisturize. Your Botox will not save you!!!!!!

Where have all the archives gone, long time passing?
This move over to Blogger 2 Electric Boogaloo seems to have made my archives disappear. Weird.
Now I'm trying to decide whther I should go on a quest to recover them, or be very very thankful that certain passages can never be read again.....
Nature vs. Culture
It's obviously the recessive white trash gene in my veins rearing its ugly mullethead making me feel unabridged glee about Monster House.
Monster House, on the Discovery Channel (entertain your brain), is the new home improvement show brought to you by the friendly folk at Monster Garage.
In the Monster Garage, everything gets turned into a muscle car and/or hot rod (UPS trucks, limos, Mini Coopers, skateboards, etc), so one can imagine what happens to a house under their gentle guidance:
It Becomes TOTALLY COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There was a car hood hanging on the kitchen wall which, after you press one of those giant yellow switch thingies, became the table. The cooking area was redone in that shiny, zig-zag ridged metal and had hoses above which you pulled down to get: a water dispenser, an egg beater, and a blow torch (I wouldn't've guessed those guys knew about creme brulees). They turned the dad's easy chair into a go-cart.
Oh, and they put the bed on giant shocks. Awyeah.

Funny how last night, when Blogger wasn't letting me play, I had lots of stuff to write about but this morning can't recall a bit of it. Only things on my mind just now are chores and errands:
Empty/fill/run dishwasher, get packing tape, pay car bill, buy plane ticket, go to post office, work on website, do research, exercise.
Yup. Vastly exciting, that.

My temp agents, various, when calling before 8 am, invariably ask if they've woken me up. Since "Well, duh!" doesn't seem to be a very politic response, I've taken to lying to them. Except this morning, when I was actually awake. What is wrong with me?

These split keyboard thingies are not the greatest for us hunt-and-peck typers. (Don't bother lecturing; as long as I can do 45 wpm my way, I'll not learn the "real" way.)

Men indicate that they are the evil versions of themselves by adding goatees (sp?), but what can women do? Maybe a cape or something?

We are protected by the enormity of your stupidity...for a time
It'll sound old fashioned of me, but I'm really fond of movies from that era when they had scripts. They had these people called "screenwriters" who wrote these "scripts," which were full of "wit" and "subtext."
I know, I know, it sounds boring, but the people back then seemed to like it. Probably didn't know better. Hadn't seen The Brady Bunch Variety Show yet.
Notorious is a damn fine movie and all, but I still say the DVD release of Double Indemnity which is apparently in the works, and was apparently the reason I couldn't locate a copy of it today for love nor money better bring new freakin' glorious meaning to the phrase "special features."

The Freedom to Suck
After going out for late-nite drinking-slash-socializing, we are now the proud owners of a vacuum cleaner. Why? Because Jana and Brian are really cool, that's why.
Tangentally, I've never really gotten why it's called a vacuum cleaner. It doesn't clean vacuums. You could just call it a vacuum, but it's not a vacuum, it just creates a vacuum. So it's a vacuum creator.
More tangentally from Bob, "Nature abhors a vacuum cleaner."
I haven't had a chance to use it yet, because we got home at 3 in the morn and our downstairs neighbors are both light sleepers and ceiling bangers.
Fucking ceiling bangers, get some fucking balls and come upstairs to yell at me. (hmmm, that sounds naughtier than i intended)
