Packing w/o bags
Monday, December 31, 2001 01:20 a.m.

I suck, I should have updated a while ago. But I guess when things are going decent, I just don't feel like ranting to much - and hence - no updateds. Hee hee. So anyway. Yes, that Wednesday was a red letter day. The next day cabbit came by the office and gave me a present - a cel of Ryo from Princess Nine about to pitch! It was so cool! WAI WAI WAI And yes, cabbit learned that I truely do scream in person like I do online. Now what ever shall I get him?????

The next day . . . the office party. Or why you should have directions before leaving for the restuarant. Yes, we had lost people. Lost people who did not have cell phones. Food was yummy though. People always stare at me funny when I polish off ribs. Don't know why. And the place served cider. Woo hoo.

Clients who call at 5 PM on the Friday before Christmas with orders to go out that day . . . suck.

Bossman slightly altered how we got our presents this year, but as usual they were offbeat, yet appropriate. I think. I just find it funny I got Pokemon Monopoly a year after I asked for it. He also got me the Buffy album - which is mustly songs used on the show. Suprisingly good. Best parts are still the opening music and the Buffy/Angel love theme (entitled "Close Your Eyes" ACK) - but unlike some other TV "soundtracks" it merits multiple listens.

My mom is exceedingly clever. As she managed to put my luggage away so well - Gareth and I couldn't find it. Meaning as usual we don't have enough bags to get home. This does not please my dad - as we kids have run away with almost every piece of luggage our parents own. Aren't we clever too? Its also been proven - Ortiz family rule - we cannot sleep the night before a plane trip. Even of the flight is at 3:30 PM the next day. Of course, then I get the times mixed up and think the flight is an hour earlier than that . . . -_- Baka me. And either Gareth or I get searched on every leg of the trip. And the second flight is delayed for some reason we'll never know cause we passed out.

Eh, we made it - that's what really matters.

I've been meaning to write an update since Wed. but some how kept forgetting to - bad bad me. So where were we? Ah yes - Wednesday was a Good Day. A Very. Good. Day. With less Slayer deaths. (Wonder who got that one.) Not only did Marmalade Boy issue one come out that day, but after a never ending evening of call-backs, (or so it seemed to me anyway - since I was doubling as monitor again) I got the best news in a while. I've been cast as Hodel in the production of Fiddler on the Roof . Needless to say - I spent a good two days bouncing around on that news again. Its not gonna be easy - I've already been warned I need to project a lot more, but I'm so happy to be finally given the chance.

So of course, I'm gonna be dragging people to this.

More to write - but it will have to be later.

Balancing acts

Battlebots ordered stuff from my three reels of insanity.

YES!!!

I can't project - right . . . me . . .
Monday, December 17, 2001 03:02 a.m.

Yeah, yeah, no update for a while. Whenever it seems to fill-up and its apparent I'm gonna have to archive I lose the urge to write anything.

So what's up? Auditions for Fiddler, which I'm totally suiciding. I suspect I'll be Stage Manager. Woo. Oh well. Being a monitor is oddly amusing. Only cause people think you have more power than you do.

Xmas shopping was near pointless this weekend. Which means I will have to cram it into this week. ARGHH Plus - where the hell can I find a blasted rolling pin?? How can K-mart not have one? Martha Stewart - you have betrayed me! Does no one make pies anymore?

True Answer is a kick-ass song for a lame-ass anime.

Sigh This place is such a disaster area right now. And I'm totally out of shelf space. No one gets to come over anytime soon. Oh wait, I never have people over!
