Day 139/365 (December 3, 2014)

So I found out Mike Schwitter was going on as Pippin and I really wanted to see that so I Spent my morning at Pippin Rush and was able to get a ticket for Shoshana and I to the matinee. Then I headed to work for a bit and went home. While I was home I made the frosting for the cupcakes and then frosted/decorated them. They looked so fun and colorful and tasted good too! Then I packaged them up nicely for Mike and Adam and headed out to Pippin, Even though we had front row tickets which is where I like to sit for rush Shoshana didn't want to sit there so she asked an usher if we could sit someplace else. She said we didn't have to but of course I am not one to disagree in situations like that so I sat orchestra right begrudgingly. I am still upset I didn't sit in the front but at the same time I am gad we sat back there so I could see the whole show without straining my neck and I mean I could see the whole show, which was nice. Mike really is so great as Pippin. After we waited in the audience because he said there was a talk back so he was going to come out to say hi... he had so many people waiting for him... so popular! Said a quick hello, gave him the cupcakes, dropped off Adam's cupcakes and then went home. When I got home I began work on dipping the cake balls in chocolate and decorating them with nerds... also super cute and very sweet! Ben David popped in so I made him take a bunch to give to his friends! Then I headed out to Kayla's birthday party for some karaoke fun. The book didn't know how to spell December, i saw Kavin, and Rachel, and Hope, and sang some fun songs that others seemed to like my picks! I ate 2 slices of pizza and junk food which was not smart but so tasty! then I came home because I thought we were decorating the apartment for Christmas... I was wrong. Then I ended taking some of the cake balls to bring to Penski and Ally. It was nice chatting with Penski since it had been a short time,.,, then home again for good/sleep.

Day 290/365 (June 4, 2009)

so the day started out with finding out softball was once again rained out... which turned out to be a good thing because i didnt feel like having to get ready for the day that early. anywho i found out during the day that mitch was going on for luke in altar boyz and even though i have been really good about not seeing it too often i wanted to see him as Luke since that is my favorite character. i also knew i would only get a ticket if i could get what i consider a good seat since i am a seat snob. i also made plans with kavin and he knew i would only go if there was a good seat.

well anywho my plan was to go to the box office then help mary lotto hair. i got to the box office and was not given very excitable seat options so i was going to hold off until i could talk to kavin and help wit hair... so i high-tailed it over to the theater just in time for the lotto and found mary, sasha, matthew, mackenzie, and zuri.  luckily mackenzie was called right away so sasha and i peaced out! (later i found out my name had been called... yay?)

Sasha and i went on a mailbox hunt, and did a little bit of walking then i went to the box office to buy the tickets. well just s i was about to give th discount code i was told it was going to be a wunderstudy show and that mitch had been switched to mark and joey was going to be luke. so i ended up not getting the tickets because i knew i was seeing mitch as mark on saturday. (i have already seen joey do all 5 roles!) then we went back to sasha's and hung out for a while.

later i headed to NWS to meet kavin for the final round of karaoke idol. i made a random friend for a few minutes waiting for kavin, who it turned out was inside the whole time seeing The Toxic Avenger, and i chatted with Michael for a tiny bit while he waited for someone.

anywho finally met up with kavin and i got to sing twice during the night and watched the final round of karaoke idol... i wasnt happy with the winner but whatevs! it was so nice hanging with kavin and it was one of my favorite nights i have spent at karaoke because he is so fun and i havent seen him since january and we danced around and all that fun stuff... we left at seriously like 2 in the morning!

Day 232/365 (April 7, 2009)

(click to see it bigger)

I should probably add Sasha to the tagging list since i know she reads this blog

Anywho today was a productive day (well that is in the eye of the beholder.) i updated like two weeks worth of this blog and was grateful that even though i wasnt writing the blog, i was uploading the pictures and writing the tags so everything (for the most part) came flooding back when i finally began to type!

i also watched some Charmed which i really do love and caught up reading Devons photo blog which is where i saw this picture so i decided to do it too.

i had discovered yesterday i couldn't find my camera so i went on a mission today and i cant find it in the apartment which frightens me since i know i couldnt find it in my bag right before i got to sasha's so i am afraid it somehow got lost in duane reade, on the subway, or by avenue q. i have always taken pictures every day, even before i started this blog and i keep wanting to reach for it to take a picture and can't. this leaves me feeling like a piece of myself is missing and i had some awesome pictures on my 4 GB memory card that are also missing with it :( i mean i NEVER take it out of my bag unless i am taking a picture, uploading pictures, or charging my battery. the last time i had seen it i was showing a picture i had taken of jordan and fred to her and krysta. i thought i had put it back in my bag after (which unless i find the camera here somewhere that means i did) but that is why i am thinking it must have come out of my bag on one of my outings yesterday without my noticing either by me somehow pulling it out or someone taking it out. but if someone took it out then why didnt they take my wallet? so that is why i think i accidentally pulled it out somehow :(

But in happier news (aside from that) i actually had a pretty good day. i have always noticed for the last 4-5 years that my bedroom is a reflection of my emotional health. the more chaotic i feel my life is the more disasterous my room gets. i generally hide my true emotions from people because there is just something about me that wont let people see me when i am not more than happy, so if you see that i am not more than happy that either means i trust you immensely or i have just gotten to a really really bad place and cant hide the true feelings anymore (which is a bad sign in my opinion, but anywho i digress). so even if i seem all chipper and happy out and about if you see my rooms and there are clothes everywhere and things not put away it is pretty safe to assume that i am not happy. well at some point today i decided that i was in a cleaning mood and i put things away (though i still have some things to put away but they are hidden tidy like until i am ready to deal with the mess and mayhem of organizing my playbills and tickets) and swept hardcore... i was quite proud that when i finsihed sweeping my room there actually wasnt that much that needed to be swept up!

then i got ready to go out and run a few errands. first i swung by the bank to do some depositing and then i headed downtown. since i was at the bank of america that is on 145th and something i took the A train since it was right there, and when i got off at 59th to transfer so many trains came but never the C and i didn't want to be late so i just walked to 51st St. this however turned out to be a good thing because the walk was so nice (even though it was still slightly chilly.) then i waited outside the Wicked SD for Kyle Dean... yea um i of course ended up being early since that is my MO and there is nothing like feeling like an uber creepster hanging by a stage door like that. i gave him the thing i was giving him and we chatted for a bit then because i enjoyed my walk there i decided to walk back to 59th st to go to whole foods since i wanted to make pizza and for some reason can't find pizza dough in any other store! i mean i love whole foods but i HATE how long the line always is... anyway i found my dough, picked up some delicious mushrooms, and an onion... then i waited for like 10 minutes to pay!

after i walked out the store i was feeling in such a good mood and still felt like walking so i walked to the 72nd station instead of having to transfer from the 1 there... i might have walked to 96th since i was enjoying myself quite much but i got hungry and knew it would take some time to prep the pizza.

i got home and started getting the pizza ready, i heated up the oven with my pizza stone in it, stretched out the dough, and then before i put on the pizza sauce i had cut up some of my mozzarella in strips and put them in a ring around the pizza then folded the dough over... i totally made my own yummy stuff crust pizza! (take that pizza hut!) then i put on the soauce on the cheese was so soft and yummy i couldnt shred it on my grater so i had to chop it up, then i put on the onions and fresh garlic i had chopped up and placed the mushrooms all over the top (mushroom and onion is my fave pizza topping) and i put that bad boy in the oven using my handy parchment paper! i cleaned up my mess and did dishes while it cooked and then enjoyed some yummy pizza... though i had to let all the moisture from the mushrooms drip off first! when i went to put away my leftovers i discovered that not only my camera is missing but my favorite tupperware set is too!

Eventually after eating that and watching some will & grace, and tuning out some boring news show since nothing was on at the time, i got to watch cupid. i saw the show last week and thought it was super cute, and had a fun discussion with kavin and nina in kavin's FB status... though because of my FB status i learned that this show was on (with different actors) in 1998 with like the same characters and premise... it failed, hopefully this one doesn't but i wonder why they would bring back a failed show without changing much?

then i wrote this blog to hopefully not fall behind again and did some online research for a trip i know i can't take but want to real bad!

Day 149/365 (January 14, 2009)

So i was at work until 11 in the morning and had already planned on trying Wicked lotto with Sasha for the night show, but when i saw the time thought "why don't we try the matinee and if we lose we can still try the night show." Sasha liked this idea so i met up with her and Matthew and we tried our luck... Sasha won the Wicked lotto for the first time ever, and i was so happy for her and myself.

Then we went back to Matthew and Sasha's place and ordered CHinese Food... it took FOREVER to come! like over an hour and we barely had time to eat before heading to the theatre, sadly Kyle Dean wasn't in the show that day. I won't lie i was more than a little crushed, i really am not a gigantic fan of Wicked and feared i would be in pain watching the show... luckily the current cast is pretty great and that made the show actually kind of enjoyable and i enjoyed the understudy that was on for Elphaba.

After the show was over we didn't bother stage dooring since i had already done so the past Sunday, and there was no kyle dean to say hi to, shallow i know but it was COLD! we went back to the apartment and just hung around for a while which was nice to catch up with Sasha and Matthew... then i left them to meet up with Mary and Kavin... they were hungry so we went to The Olive Garden, too bad i ended up feeling sick, but it was nice to socialize with them before i went home and went to bed!

Day 144/365 (January 9, 2009)

I got out of work earlier than usual, but not enough to make the trip to Philly despite my best efforts. I met Krysta and we went to see Bride Wars, which was a pretty cute movie, even if it was half a theater ticket! Then I high-tailed it over to Ars Nova.

I met up with kayla, kavin, melissa, rachel, and amelia to see Gallagher perform, and of course he had a special guest Thad DeBrock. There were songs, talk of oil fumes, a false alarm spider on the microphone, and good times with friends. I had turned my screen off to take pictures because of my proximity to the stage in the dark theater so this was the best shot that came out. I like it because Thad is in it too and I think he is extremely talented. As a personal note I really miss the lack of Tupperware everywhere!
