about 10 minutes before the show ended last night, i came to the unpleasant conclusion that those albertson’s chicken strips had indeed been sitting under the heat lamp too long and i shouldn’t have eaten them – well, too late now. i left dante (the light board op) running the deck for me while i threw up back stage. ugg. good thing it’s a darn simple show to run. so this morning i was supposed to run in the women’s fitness celebration 5k with my mom (cute mother-daughter sort of thing), and i’m bummed that it’s 9 am, the race is half over, and i just woke up. now i have a $20 t-shirt for a race i didn’t run in. bleh!
but i’ve noticed that whenever i’m getting ready to move away from a particular place, it has habit of trying to piss me off, like children acting out in order to ease their parent’s upcoming separation anxiety. six more performances of forever plaid, two nights on a road trip to salt lake, one last night to pack and pack and pack, then three nights in the bay area, and i’m off to amsterdam. the days are numbered. i’ve been going at about 110 mph for the past week trying to get ready to leave and working on all sorts of last-minute projects; last night’s chicken strips just sort of slammed on the breaks and forced me to idle at 20 for a bit. my sanity probably needed it. but i am bummed about the race.
i have yet another new plan for post-europe employment: i might get a job in buffalo, NY. i’m pretty excited about this possibility; a good job, lousy pay, i know a couple of people there already, and it’d put me on the east coast near all sort of people who are near and dear to me. keep your fingers crossed for me, eh?
i hesitate to recommend kidchamp only because lauren is so much more witty and literate than i am that i figure you’ll all stop reading slithy tove once you meet her. but what can i do? i love her lots, she’s way cooler than me, and her new blog is my favorite color.
