An Excellent Way to Spend the Afternoon
On Saturday I performed in my improv show! It went well, but I didn’t stay to celebrate with my classmates. Instead I went back to the apt where I met Tom, and we made nachos, and then pizza nachos with tomato sauce for a second course, and ate them while watching tv. Then we migrated towards the piano and sang and played some songs, getting progressively more into the singing.
At around...
I love stable doors.

What I did yesterday:
union square
I met Tom at Union Square after work and we went to Jamba Juice to get one dollar smoothies. It was a special promotional day they were having. Tom paid for me. Then we walked with our smoothies to the East Village, because I told him I wanted to go to see some dogs in the dog run in Tompkins Square Park that I’d read about on my friend Alyssa’s...

The Cult of the Mysteries--JJJJound has posted
Put the puzzle pieces together. What is this story about? I see a mysterious mansion. Scientific discoveries. The streets of Dublin. Lonely beautiful women. An eccentric painter. A cold Daniel Craig like attitude. A dealer in wild animals like the orchid thief in Adaptation. Wish I could think of something less cliche. What do you see? Go to jjjjound...

Still following the saga of mm and alice through their blogs. What have they been up to lately? Spending more time together it seems…Molly’s career is taking off, Alice has a job too. They meet everyday after work and go to cocktail parties together where Molly acts as a reporter, covering the party for some famous magazine. Alice tags along as her guest and is inevitably scouted...

You are the daughter of the sea, oregano’s first cousin. Swimmer, your body is pure as the water; cook, your blood is quick as the soil. Everything you do is full of flowers, rich with the earth. Your eyes go out toward the water, and the waves rise; your hands go out to the earth and the seeds swell; you know the deep essence of water and the earth, conjoined in you like a formula for...
Hoodies: A Sexy Relic from the Past
The Harold
I saw a weird kind of performance art last night. It was called the Harold, an improv game at the UCB Theater in NYC. It was really cool. It reminded me of the imaginary games that we acted out when we were kids, but played by really great actors instead of kids. It was also really funny, but funny in a very intellectual sort of way. It kind of gave you a buzz your mind was working so hard.

Who Says Words With My Mouth? All day I think about it, then at night I say it. Where did I come from, and what am I supposed to be doing? I have no idea. My soul is from elsewhere, I’m sure of that, and I intend to end up there. This drunkenness began in some other tavern. When I get back around to that place, I’ll be completely sober. Meanwhile, I’m like a bird from another continent, sitting...

Happy Belated Birthday to a Sister
“It has made me better loving you…it has made me wiser, and easier, and brighter. I used to want a great many things before, and to be angry that I did not have them. Theoretically, I was satisfied. I flattered myself that I had limited my wants. But I was subject to irritation; I used to have morbid sterile hateful fits of hunger, of desire. Now I really am satisfied, because I can’t...
I had a really fun weekend. On Saturday afternoon I went on the train to CT to go to Rand’s birthday party. It was strange to be welcomed to a birthday party of Rand’s, since we used to be enemies, but things have changed since we were kids and now we are friends again.
At Grand Central we were to meet RT and Charles on the train. I walked down the platform scanning the cars,...
“To assume that making the audience laugh is the goal of improvisation is almost as absurd as assuming that you go to a dojo to learn how to kick somebody’s face in. It’s just not true!
“Still, they laugh. It is a side effect of attempting to achieve something more beautiful, honest, and truthful, something that has far more to do with the theatre—which puts your...
At night I look out the window and see something like this. I sleep in different rooms depending on who is visiting. My days are uncluttered.
Will one day I have a settled life with a house, a husband, and at last a dog? Will I have a child who I love more than I can even imagine loving anything? Will I have a cat even though I’m not a fan of cats? Will I have all my own things? Will I...
A Small Witch to mayke your day eeyrie
Today I had a day much to myself.
I went to see a movie with Artie that I knew no one else would probably ever want to see with me: Letters to Juliet. The theater turned out to be filled with mentally handicapped people who commented on the movie to hilarious effect. I can’t tell whether the movie would have been as enjoyable as it was if that group...
Tom
I have a new room mate: my sister Artie.
I successfully avoided another round of questions from my parents’ friends: what have you been doing these days?
I went back to my beautiful house in CT
I wake up to heat. I love summer.
My life is so different. People who saw me at the party said I looked totally different. I think it must be because my face relaxed from the stress that I was...
