maybe i’ll wake up for once

So, it’s Lent. I gave up buying my breakfast and lunch at work. I spend a lot of money on shitty food from the center house, and I could be spending it on other things. Smack, for instance. What did you give up?

Our FringeAct show opened last night. I thought it was a big success - here’s what Joe Boling had to say about it. Meklar even surprised me by showing up! (What did you think?)

For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been going back to Friday Five but haven’t been interested in any of the questions. Today, it’s apparently the cool thing to do, so I am jumping on the bandwagon. (I know, I’m a sheep. You should be a sheep too, and answer them for my amusement. Please.)

1. What was the last song you heard?
Morningboss plays Warm 106.9, Afternoon boss plays Smooth Jazz. I block them from my mind whenever possible. I try to pretend that there is no music going on. I try to imagine my ears being crammed full of wriggling maggots so that I can not hear the insipid pablum which is pouring from the radio. It never seems to work. In actuality, the last song I heard was That’s what friends are for. However, the last song I listened to that didn’t make me itch was Going Under by Evanescence at home this morning. Or maybe Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong on the radio in my car.

2. What were the last two movies you saw?
Most recently, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, which I saw with Yuki. Before that … hm. OH. The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T on video at home with PWe and HSM. (We watched Sliding Doors right afterwards, but I’ve seen that over and over, so it doesn’t really count.)

3. What were the last three things you purchased?
$8 sparkly sneakers, Ida’s KAK shirt for FringeAct, Fat Boy Hooded Sweatshirt with dragons on it.

4. What four things do you need to do this weekend?
ONE: Get a huge batch of bills ready to pay as soon as the money magically appears in my account next friday. This includes a parking ticket, a request to remove a driving ticket from my record, my student loan, my cell phone bill, a new licence for her royal dogness, and utilities money for PWe. Also, the last check to Tony, which somehow I thought I’d paid and haven’t.
TWO: Do a million loads of laundry. Clean my room. Get my new desk set up and start USING it. I know this is multi-part, but it all goes together.
THREE: Give my dog a bath. She stinks. (I just typed “She thinks.” This is also true.)
FOUR: Write up a curriculum for a one and a half hour beginning acting class for 4-6th graders. I’m presenting this curriculum to the other dramaschool apprentices on Tuesday, and I am teaching it a week from tomorrow. (No pressure.)

5. Who are the last five people you talked to?
Morningboss, LoudHouseManagerGuy, Amandalee, OtherUsherGirl, and CrankyReceptionistGuy.
