In an effort to cancel all the negativity I've been blathering about lately (when I could be bothered to blather at all), here is a catalog of exciting fun activities:
On Saturday, I went to a Howard Dean fundraiser, with special guests Whoopi Goldberg, Al Franken, Gloria Gaynor, and special surprise guest Janeane Garofalo! It was in a big ol' gay dance club, so it was very strange seeing a bunch of middle-aged people in button-ups dancing awkwardly to "I Will Survive," in a place where I have previously only seen a bunch of sweaty drugged-out shirtless homos...dancing awkwardly to "I Will Survive."
(Sidenote: I used to find it very difficult to spell Janeane Garofalo's name, until I realized it followed the same pattern as chihuahua. Chi-hua-hua, J-ane-ane. Simple!)
On Monday night I went to Monday Night Magic, a show at the Soho Playhouse featuring a rotating crew of traveling magicians. It is absolutely impossible to be in a bad mood after a good magic show, and this was one of the best, and funniest, ones I have ever seen. Plus, I actually saw someone get proposed to during the magic show (no, that part was real) and the whole theater erupted in huge big loud cheering and it might have been the cutest thing ever.
Tonight is a Shiv show, which is always big bouncy fun! I have not been to one in what seems like ninety years!
And now, I am heading out to lunch -- I just faxed in my order for a burrito. Yes, that burrito. I have to go pick it up! And eat it!
Someday soon, I will be fun and interesting again. I know I keep saying that. But this time I really mean it. One and a half more weeks of this crap at work, and then I get to return to normal!
Oh! And a VERY special and VERY heartfelt thank you goes here: Ramanda, you saved my sanity and my life when you reminded me of the existence of WebWorks Publisher, for all my HTML conversion needs. I seriously almost kicked my own ass off when I realized I had completely forgotten about it. You rule and I love you.
Also, who wants to come to my house for Thanksgiving? I'm starting to put together the menu. What do you want to bring?
