Day 340/365 (July 24, 2009)

tucker was nice to me, and even slept next to me while i was busy on the couch. it was pretty good. i even used the software i downloaded and it RECOVERED my deleted pictures and i was so relieved! i met with karolina to give her back her camcorder and i went to mostly sondheim.

i ate a ton of cookies since krysta left them here, how rude! there was this cute kid on the subway and he was eating chips... after he finished he stood up, brushed himself off, then asked his mom for a wipe to clean himself up... OMG it was so precious since he was about two feet tall!

i also took the bus at one point because i was too lazy to walk to the subway and well i got one of the long ones with the circle center that sways and rocks up and down.. i love them! (see above)

mostly sondheim was interesting! Mark and Joey joined me and this week danny calvert and michael buchanan were the hosts... it started wicked late because the fill in pianist never showed up! so they called john bronson who was actually not working that night and he came from home (the bronx) via a cab to rescue the night and play piano! right before he got there danny played piano for a song he sang and then one michael sang and he did a pretty good job, then john arrived and the night really began. lots of fun, i sang i can hear the bells... and michael sang the song i have been getting ready to sing (when brian gets back and i have more confidence) screw loose... it was cute though because michael actually asked me of it was ok if he sang it... lots of fun and i think michael is super sweet and a welcomed guest host as well.

eventually the night ended and joey and i walked with mark from the duplex to 42nd st (well they kept walking i got on the subway). I was so very tired at this point it must have looked like i was beyond drunk even though i wasnt drinking at all because i couldnt walk in a straight line and kept swaying... the walk from 135th to home was a trip to say the least and seemed to have taken an eternity! the sky was already staring to turn a pale shade of blue from the sun creeping up... i brushed my teeth and passed out!

Day 256/365 (May 1, 2009)

I woke up and got myself together. Eventually i made my way to Kim's apartment to move in for the weekend to play with the puppy and take care of her. Somehow my name disappeared of the list so i got stuck in the lobby for about 45 minutes until Tom was able to call and straightened things out. The doorman was trying to be helpful but he was just annoying the crap out of me!

I understood completely he couldnt give me the key until they called, so i waited quietly on the couch calling and texting like crazy. he kept asking me if i got a hold of them, and after the 4th time i was like i will tell you as soon as i do. (like i would talk to them, then not tell you? idiot!) and he also kept trying to explain to me "i cant let you up there if your name is on the list.... blah blah blah AS IF i was making a big deal about it... i wasnt i said its ok let me try calling then sat on one of the lobby couches... it just ticked me off because i was being so nice and not making a big deal and it was almost as if he was looking for a big deal!

I finally got the keys and settled in. It is so much fun and easy playing with Kim's puppy. she greets you with a toy and gives you kisses and you can just pet her, and she doesn't bite! she also knows exactly where to go potty at and you just have to feed her and clean up the wee wee pads. no messes on the floor!

I left to go to Mostly Sondheim, even though i knew brian wasnt going to be there, but hey it is still fun no matter who is there. I met this nice couple, and one of the girls from last week. we had fun and this week there was a word game also, platypus. so i sang mama, i'm a platypus now. i as also kinda surprised that i saw cole and MA there. The fill in piano guy (john) was super nice and did a good job. it was also nice getting "home" so quickly after i left.

Though the only "sad" part of the day was during one of the times when they were trying to fill space. Kate asked Danny if he knew any monologues and he was like yes, and begun doing Mark's pre-Epiphany monologue from Altar Boyz. Well he kept getting hung up every so often, and despite my best efforts to run it in my head and help i failed! the moment of truth and i couldnt do it, but i know i know it... when i think about it i can recite any part of the show, though i try not to as that is just a bad sign at how many times i have seen it. AT one point Kate was like Tamra help him out you've seen it like 122 times... she was close, i am at 119, though monday will be 120!
