and other things you already know The show will go on. This is very exciting for me, as it feels very rewarding that all of our hard work will pay off in some way. It also seems to have put new life into a show that has been worked on for about a year. Wednesday…

i have a tendency to babble I’m sitting here at my computer with my phone up to my ear trying to reach the travel agency to book a flight for Eric. The line is continually busy, so every few words I have to stop typing, hit “off” and then “redial.” Hey!– I just got in.…

sometimes you just can’t laugh Sometimes, when I’m not paying attention, I have my fingers on the wrong keys and I’ll type an entire paragraph in pure gibberish. I have to be more careful about what I’m doing. I just need to be a bit more careful in general. I feel like my emotions are…

it ain’t pretty The weather has turned cold. This has made for an interesting new morning ritual. Whoever has to go to work makes a lot of noise and bangs things a lot, while the one who gets to sleep in makes a lot of mouth-smacking-I’m-in-the-middle-of-beautiful-slumber noises. Then the one awake and half-dressed glares at…

never. i’m a drugstore cowgirl There are a few words that describe my life pretty well. Boring is not one of them. It is very rare that I will find myself sitting on my futon and go, “I’m bored. Nothing ever happens around here.” An example: I stay home from work today. (Sidenote: We’ve been…

tuesday blues Last night Taylor had a crazy hairball that kept him throwing up every fifteen minutes. As soon as I’d fall back asleep he’d be hacking and wheezing. He only throws up on clothing. He’ll move around until he’s found something new to throw up on. Eventually , after petting him for fifteen minutes,…

caused somewhat by being homesick I’m staying home from work today. I’ve got this headache and I’ve been really tired and cranky all weekend. I think if I’m not careful I’ll catch that flu that everyone has. I have to be careful, since I’ve only got nine days until this show. It’s raining terribly out…

and rewrote the whole show So I’ve made the set list. I have rehearsal in a couple of hours… and then I unveil it. I think it will go fine. I hope that everyone is excited about it. It pretty much has everyone in the show, and I’m looking forward to rehearsing it. A couple…

my dinner’s getting cold It’s raining outside. It’s been raining all day. We’ve got a bit of flooding, and this afternoon the power went out. I’m sort of hoping that the weather continues to be this bad (as it’s supposed to) because then maybe we’ll be stuck at home all weekend. Then I don’t have…

my worst manager story Obviously, the Scrabble fever is catching on… La Malinchista must be jealous of my “TEQUILA.” Last night’s show was terrible. Only six people were in the audience, and one of them was my friend and was comped. We only made $30, which isn’t even enough to cover our musicians. Our listing…
