Day 351/365 (August 4, 2009)

POOPed is the word of the day!

I did a bunch of stuff that doesnt really matter but then Pip and I headed out to the dog run on 72nd. We were there for well over an hour and he had lots of fun running around and trying to play with all the little dogs and trying real hard to play with the big dogs on the other side of the fence. While i was there my "friend" that i made was totally gorgeous and he had the cutest little yorkie named Dylan. I got pooped on by a bird and i went and cleaned it off with the hose, then when i went back over to get my stuff and move i got pooped on again! this time i moved my stuff before cleaning... thank god for that hose. There were also dangerous crab apples falling.

Eventually we left and walked to 9 to 5 to help sami with lotto but we all lost so Pip and i made our way back home. first we made a pit stop at path mark to buy some groceries. (i had pip in a travel dog bag the whole time). then we came home and enjoyed a lovely peach before i began cooking dinner. i also did a bunch of dishes throughout the day so i could have a clean sink.

dinner was yummy chicken and yellow rice with carrots, celery, and onions. i also enjoyed two large glasses of milk because i love milk so much! we did so much walking and standing and i was so tired (pooped for the word of the day)

emma has also discovered a new favorite spot to sleep... on top of pip's crate and i find it extremely funny since she spends so much time trying to get away from him!

and then i found out michael buchanan is the guest for this weeks broadway sessions at therapy, so i wont be going to bed early. it was a great deal of fun! Rachel Potter and some girl from the marvelous wonderettes were also there and besides rachel having just an incredible voice that is mind blowing the other girl (feels bad i dont know her name) was also wonderful and sang the funniest song!

they played a matching game and i participated... yay for Michael and i sort of "matching" on our answer! After it was over joey, myself, mike, and his friend stayed for quite some time and it turned into a wonderful dance party of sorts to all the show tunes, really my kind of thing! Patrick was also there so that was a pleasant surprise, then i came home and went to bed super duper late!

Day 337/365 (July 21, 2009)

What the crap? last night i fell asleep on the couch shortly after midnight... close to 2 am i was woken up by emma who called me to bed. it is pitiful to be put to sleep by a cat, but much appreciated since my bed is more comfy than the couch! anywho i basically stumbled to the bathroom then laid down and was out like a light again. when i woke up this morning to emma curled next to my body and head and one paw draped on my arm i thought how cute and i wonder what time it is. it was kinda on the darker side outside and i knew i fell asleep pretty early so i was like i bet it is around 9 am... boy was i wrong! i looked at my phone and it said 2:24! i thought it was wrong since my phone sometimes displays the wrong time... no it was right which means i slept for just about 14 hours! i had no idea i was needing that much sleep, and now my day is wasted!

i did the massive dishes that some how appeared and that was at least productive.

eventually i got ready and headed to the 9 to 5 stage door since they had tweeted about wanting people there to be in a sing along video... so of course i went! "have camera, there is a tamra!" is my camera whore mantra. it wasn't done as i had thought (just everyone singing along) the producer guy was picking people who wanted to be picked, he sung them a line from the song 9 to 5 and then you sang it back in the camera... fun! the stage door guy was also pretty funny and very into making the lion king attendees jealous they werent at 9 to 5!

after i headed over to therapy for broadway sessions because marty thomas was one of the guests and joey was there... and he had a friend josh with him that was just fabulous, and eventually mike showed up. it was an interesting evening with "great" musical trivia... like i would know who the original Boq was... i could care less about wicked, lol! Marty sang his mashup of Single Ladies by Beyonce and Dont Rain On My Parade... and his one man Omigod You Guys from legally blonde. both complete with dancing and spectacular lighting. twas late so i went home.

Day 251/365 (April 26, 2009)

Interesting day for sure!

I woke up (an hour after i meant to) by a phone call from Mark. He had said he was already in town and was trying the West Side Story lotto and wanted to know if i would meet him for some lunch at the yummy Chipotle. I said sure! Well i looked at the time, and then after a quick phone chat with Krysta, realized i needed to get to steppin' because if i did i could get down in time to help Mark with the lotto. Also note that emma was cuddle all cute with me.

I have some how gotten really good at fast showers, because i was able to shower and get to West Side Story lotto in about 45 minutes! (even more impressive knowing the trains were running local!) Mark was seeing it by himself but had done a little "wheelin and dealin" with another lone person. Then i went and we spoke with two other random people until just before call time. I am pleased they changed the lotto policy just a little so now the alternate can buy tickets of whatever is left for seating. On the day i had no desire or motivation to see the show wouldn't you know i was the last name called! After i got the tickets we went to Chipotle.

It was packed and there were no seats to be had so we went to the courtyard to eat and pass the time until mark had to go to hi show. We picked a table that was out of the way and in the shade so i didn't get a burn. There was a lovely group of people practicing some sort of performance quietly next to us, so we got a personal serenade by a violinist, guitarist, and pretty vocalist.

Then we parted ways and i went home to kill some time before going back out to meet kim. I didn't plan on taking a crazy long nap, but i did! i am glad i had set my alarm to tell me i should be getting ready or who knows when i would have waken up! after drinking lots of water i headed out to Kim's to discover i left way too early! So instead of riding all the way to kim's i got off at 34th street to walk. On my way i found a whole foods on 25th which excited me and decided i needed to get some Angel Fluff in my life! it took me forever to find (and of course forever at the check out) but i did... even though they changed the bag, AND the name! it is now called karma puffs which i think is stupid and it says it has a new improved taste and i am afraid to try it because what if i dont like it?

Anywho i got to kim's and met her super cute awesome puppy! I am glad she seemed to love me since we will be playing together this week! (which reminds me i need to plan with Susie.) After i had a lovely time with kim and puppy i went out to meet mark at TOL. I got stuck in the subway for ages which stunk and was a little late, but whatevs! Once out of the subway as i walked towards NWS i ran into the guy who got Mark's second ticket and he said he had enjoyed the show. We had a nice time chatting and stuff, then we left and went to Therapy. It was their comedy night and there were some pretty funny things and some not so funny at all things!

Finally i came home and caught up on a few emails and wrote this, though i wont uplaod the pictures until i wake up. At one point Fred started going into the bag of fresh litter and i was like what? so i took a picture and am going to make an icanhascheeseburger caption with something like "do i really haf to do allz the work maself?"

Now it is time for bed!

Day 183/365 (February 17, 2009)

I spent the day not doing that much besides job hunting, and watching tv. I did however go help out a friend with Wicked lotto and bought supplies to make a real dinner for the first time in a long while. I made terryaki chicken, rice, and broccoli.

At one point Krysta was finally able to get something she had wanted to download and she was listening to it very happily! This is her acting all happily like!

Later we went to Therapy to watch Broadway Sessions and it was good times with everyone and listening to Dabbon and Bruett tunes. I even won a little composing challenge... thanks to Krysta's friend telling me the answer, but at least it gave me some much needed attention and the host gave me a flower on his way in... this excited me greatly, i have a picture with it but it was taken after midnight so i cant post it here.

Day 175/365 (February 9, 2009)

My mom's birthday was spent baking carrot cake sandwhich cookies, and with friends. After i finished baking and got ready i went over to visit with Sasha and Matthew for a bit, and was lucky to be there when Marty stopped by! We watched some youtube commercials and listend to some bootlegs.

Then i left and headed over to NWS to meet with Karolina and celebrate her one year altar boyz anniversary. (she came to see me as fog girl last year and boy did i get her into the show good!).

The show was great (and as i learned at nicole's birthday show) they are throwing the hat and yamulke back out into the audience at the end of the show!. Austin was on as Luke and teased poor karolina. We made friends with these three ladies visiting from ireland who sat behind us.

After the show was over we went to TOL to continue the celebration and that was pretty good times. It was also open mic night so lots of people were singing and it was good entertainment.

After i went with three people to a bar called Therapy. It was really nice and had fun tables, then we went to Ray's pizza and i got the most yummy white pizza with spinach on top. Eventually i cabbed it home since it was so late.
