Things that have happened in the last ten days:
-
I’ve run out of coffee. Twice.
-
I’ve lived almost exclusively on hummus, spinach, and the occasional Hot Pocket.
-
Despite that questionable diet, I’ve gotten within spitting distance of my pre-Katrina weight.
-
I’ve seriously contemplated buying a house for my mother. Or at least contemplated how I might go about procuring the funds to buy a house for my mother. More on that later.
-
I’ve rediscovered Oblivion and am now playing as–gasp!–a man, although my Xbox Live screen name remains “Queenzilla”.
-
I’ve run box office, sound, and half of the lights for six performances of The Titanic Adventures of the Love Boat Poseidon! (five of which sold out). If you haven’t seen it, you’ve only got two more shots…
-
I persuaded the entire cast of said show to participate in a painful, counterproductive, showcase performance of our “iceberg/tidal wave” scene for the ATHE conference, using some union sound guy who wasn’t fit to play 78s on my dead grandfather’s Victrola, much less handle fast-paced CD playback.
-
I’ve killed my computer and spent several hours imploring Dell to resurrect it.
-
I’ve wasted a lot of time doing absolutely nothing, least of all laundry, dishes, and other household chores. Screw it.
