casting i am so exhausted, and could really use a solid 12 hours of sleep, but casting is done! i think that had to be the fastest casting ever (we were done quite some time ago, actually), and people should be hearing back from us soon. i'm very excited, but also just want to snuggle into bed! | | Wednesday, May 7th, 2008 | | 9:45 am |
auditions for the one acts i have discovered that i am much more excited about directing than i ever was about acting (i totally want to do this again)! watching auditions last night was great, and got me really pumped (i was still on a high after i got home). i'm really psyched for tonight's auditions, too (and thursday's!) yay for directing!!! | | Friday, May 2nd, 2008 | | 11:45 pm |
![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) valadil told me about dog island - an island where dogs go to vacation: http://www.thedogisland.com/ and then i discovered it wasn't real, and i couldn't go vacation there, and i got very sad. | | Sunday, April 27th, 2008 | | 11:30 am |

weight loss, yay! as of today (15 days into my diet) i have lost 5.5 lbs. the first 4 lbs. came off the first week, and the next 1.5 came off the second week. this diet is actually pretty easy to stick to (1600 cals/day roughly, and whatever exercise i can fit in). i think i lost more weight the first week because i was getting more exercise then. i'm getting comfier with my weight as it drops down, though my goal is still 34 more lbs. honestly, i'd be happy with even 24 more, as that would be a lower weight than i've been at in a long time, and one at which i'd be totally ok with. Current Mood:  pleased | | Friday, March 28th, 2008 | | 3:39 pm |
the man who stands quietly behind me (and who kisses me gently on the head), letting me watch the three golden retrievers run by for several minutes, is definitely the man for me.
i love you, the mister. happy 6 months tomorrow! | | 11:14 am |
TMBG WOO! one of jon's friends had two extra TMBG tickets for tonight, so we get to go! woot for awesome boyfriend! Current Mood: excited | | Tuesday, March 18th, 2008 | | 10:19 am |
and it was all yellow
there are currently 40 beautiful, blooming daffodils on my desk at work, and they smell lovely! (one of the higher-ups at work sent each person in our office 10 daffodils in appreciation of all our hard work, and we only had one vase in the office, so i get them all on my desk!). today feels very spring-y because of it (AND i saw crocuses blooming yesterday). | | Thursday, March 6th, 2008 | | 4:46 pm |
birfaday well, i was having a *lovely* birthday until just a few hours ago. i got lots of cards and calls and lj posts wishing me happy b-day, and i felt very loved. i even got surprise cupcakes from kicka** delivered by the lovely ms. a. lee (i was very confused when the bell rang, as i had been napping, but it was totally!! worth waking up for)...they were delicious and covered in pretty sprinkles with little candles on them and b-day flags!
as i said, i WAS having a lovely b-day. and then i went to my dentist's appointment. now, normally, dentists make me shake a bit with fear and nervousness. i get incredibly tense just *seeing* metal instruments, let alone having them go in my mouth. this dentist (on college ave.) was lovely as far as dentists go, but he didn't bother to even be SLIGHTLY gentle when breaking it to me that i have 9 - NINE - cavities. NINE FUCKING CAVITIES. now, when they scrape my teeth...i get shaky, freaked out. but the prospect of having nine cavities drilled was more than i could take...i started weeping in his office. he kept asking if i had any questions (which of course, i did), but i couldn't get anything out of my throat as i was way too choked up. if i had been able, i would have been screaming - but as it was, all i could get out were big, gulpy sobs.
as if that weren't bad enough, the lady at the front desk tells me that (EVEN WITH INSURANCE, MIND YOU), it is going to cost me about $640 to have all this work done. OH MY GOD. i do NOT have $640 to spend on my teeth, or anything for that matter. i don't know where i am going to come up with that money. also, according to her, having a 2-surface cavity filled with the white porcelean filling - $124 - having it filled with silver - only $25 for the same filling. a $100 difference! if i got silver fillings only, i'd save about $400, possibly more.
she says that getting the silver fillings instead is a really bad idea, though, as many people have problems with them and have sensitivity for a long time with hot/cold due to them. still, i don't know...$400 is a huge chunk of change that i really don't have. has anyone else had experience with this?
i am totally freaked out by all this, and can't seem to stop crying. i don't understand how my insurance, which is supposed to pay 75% of costs after a $25 (yearly) deductible, is paying for so little. i am really, really upset about this. Current Mood: upset | | Friday, February 22nd, 2008 | | 3:26 pm |
the coat search ends!!
yay, i found a coat! on a whim (since school got canceled for the day at 1:30 and i got out early) i checked out filene's basement, and whoa, what phenomenal sales they had today! most of the coats, which were already drastically reduced, were an additional 50% off. the coat i found (a chocolate brown shearling much like my old one). originally $200, marked down to $75, and i got it for half that - $38!! so cheap for a winter coat, and it's beautiful! so happy to be rid of the old, icky one!
if you're looking for a winter coat, they have a pretty good selection left, and they are way cheap! | | Tuesday, February 19th, 2008 | | 2:26 pm |
shopping post finally bought a purse i think i can live with (i'm extremely picky about them, and i've been searching for a new one for a damn long time: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9535248however, the coat search continues. the one i bought from chadwicks was way too huge on me, and also the wrong color (the picture they had on their website was totally off). i had to return it, which cheesed me off, but whatever. jon and i also went coat shopping @ the mall and several other places this weekend, and i STILL can't find anything. why can't i find a frikkin coat i like?? | | Sunday, February 3rd, 2008 | | 11:15 am |
when a boy blows on the candles on his 25th birthday cake and tells you his birthday wish is to spend his next 25 years with you, it might make you *swoon* a little bit | | Tuesday, January 29th, 2008 | | 8:50 pm |
subway performer y'all are probably going to think i'm nuts, but it's always been a dream of mine to be a subway performer. and this year i've resolved to do things i haven't done before, things that are scary to me...and i want to be a subway performer this year. i want to sing a variety of songs (dar williams, ingrid michaelson, regina spektor...things in that range). i need someone who'd be able to play guitar for me, though. i'd be willing to pay for their performer's permit in exchange for part of one day of practice a week and part of one day (possibly weekend) playing at a station...and half of whatever we'd make. know anyone that might fit that bill (if so, please let me know!)
nuts, i know, but i've really wanted to do this for a while! | | Sunday, January 27th, 2008 | | 10:22 am |
seeck
i have bought more cold medicines and remedies in the past 3-4 days than i have in the previous 3 years combined. i have been super-sick for about three days now, with no sign of getting better (i'm planning to go to the doctor's tomorrow). my throat is super-sore, my nose is constantly running, and i don't have the energy to even get up and take a shower.
luckily, jon has been the most awesome boyfriend ever and has been taking care of me - making sure my humidifier is full, that i have enough sicky supplies, and generally being very comforting. i don't know what i did to luck out and get him as a boyfriend, but boy, i sure do love and appreciate him! | | Wednesday, December 5th, 2007 | | 1:42 pm |
update, i guess the good:*dinner with gilanaat wagamama. i had totally written them off last time when i got a very sub-par noodle dish, but am really glad i gave them another try as the chicken katsu curry i had last night was possibly the best thing i have eaten in over a year. i just about licked the plate clean! i also got to try edamame at gilana's suggestion, which was very interesting/tasty. also excited about the new year's eve party we're planning. *my relationship with valadil. i love this boy, i really do. he makes me so happy, and makes me laugh all the time. going on three months and no arguments - just snuggles and love and happiness (and squirrels). *i got two packages in the mail of stuff that was just *perfect.* online shopping is so tricky sometimes, and it's always sort of a toss up if i'll actually like the stuff i get/if it will be decent quality (and with shipping often very costly, upsetting if i don't like it) - but i got a pair of northface winter boots (nuptse booties) and a xmas present for my mom's boyfriend (wallet made of train ticket material - he's a big railroad buff) which were both absolutely gorgeous, well-made, and perfect! a very pleasing feeling. *i'm really enjoying my job. despite the occasionally monotonous and slow day, it's often very challenging, i've had lots of opportunities to learn new things/expand my skill set (like taking training classes in excel, etc.), and have plenty of contact with *real* people, which i often haven't had in other jobs (barring the job at ann taylor, which was *too much* human contact). *the scarf i'm knitting for my mom for xmas is going along SO much more quickly than the last one (which took me about 6 mos. to finish, mostly due to boredom with it) - and i love the yarn i'm using, which is a super-soft, very thick organic cotton (the only flaw is that it sheds a bit). i plan to buy more of the stuff in the near future to use - i'm really rather fond of it. Current Mood: mostly yay! | | Sunday, November 25th, 2007 | | 10:19 am |
worst migraine ever last night i had, hands down, the worst migraine i have ever experienced in my whole life. around 8, very suddenly, my head started to feel like my brain might explode out of it, the pressure was so great. the throbbing was unbearable. shortly after that, the nausea from the pain kicked in, only this time, it was so much worse. every time i moved, even an inch, waves of nausea and dizziness hit me - and very often, it was causing me to throw up (my body was also incredibly achy, for some reason). it felt like every cell in my body had been poisoned (i honestly started to wonder if i HAD eaten something with, say, botulism in it). i really wanted to go to the ER, but there was no point at which i could have moved without feeling very sick, and the thought of being around lights (in the ER) made me sick all over again. even at 5 am, i still felt this bad, though i was finally able to keep some medicine down, which made it go away several hours later. thankfully, i feel ok this morning - the migraine is gone, but my stomach feels like someone poured rocks into it. Current Mood: not so goodCurrent Music: quiet time | | Tuesday, November 20th, 2007 | | 2:50 pm |
woo!
i saw donnie darko at ART's satellite theater (zero arrow) with the lovely joye last friday, and it was, well, fucking awesome. joye and i didn't think they'd be able to fit all the plot from the movie into the 80 minute length of the play, but they managed to do it, and do it VERY well. i won't even try to describe how awesome it was, as i know i won't do it justice. needless to say, frank gave me nightmares. scary, that. what was *not* awesome were the blisters i got due to a crappy-fitting pair of shoes i happened to wear that night. i even had to buy $10 socks from adidas (and i HATEHATEHATE that neon-lit, pretentious store) because they were the only people in that area selling socks at 8 pm, and it was that or walk barefoot.
also, i feel like i'm on solid footing heading into the xmas season this year. i have about half of my xmas shopping done, and i feel like i got really good, meaningful gifts for the people i've bought for so far (even found something really good for my mom's boyfriend, which is an insanely, mind-bogglingly hard thing to do!!) i have to do my shopping this early or as xmas approaches, i get all crazed and stressed and end up having a breakdown and buying gifts that are way too expensive and that don't even really reflect the person i'm buying them for. i do much better when i have a long time to look around for or make something. | | Sunday, November 18th, 2007 | | 8:33 pm |
my lj friends and why i am thankful for them (idea borrowed from ayelle) if i have forgotten anyone, please let me know, and i will add you! | | Thursday, November 15th, 2007 | | 5:31 pm |
OMG PONIES! good things:
*my computer is hanging in there, despite the fact that it functions like an arthritic old man with alzheimer's, which is kind of a miracle as it is ancient and has been *just barely functioning* for the past year. even though it's insanely slow, everything still works, which is, to me, wonderful, as i can't afford a new one just now.
*i found awesome jeans at wal-mart for $4.50. had i realized they were that cheap at the time, i would have bought 20 pairs.
*i found a tiny silver tinsel tree at urban outfitters for $8 that makes me feel like *OMG PONIES!* - i love it! (i bought my sister a hot pink one for xmas). i may go back and get another one.
*i get to drink wine and eat takeout and snuggle with my boy tonight. this makes me happy.
*i get to go see donnie darko with Joye at ART tomorrow night - yay!
