After Work

Famous person at the LPC alert! Highly esteemed director Ang Lee deigned to introduce his new movie Taking Woodstock at the 7:40 show tonight. He walked by me! Eee! I was taking some girl's order, and I totally interrupted her in the middle of her popcorn deliberation and was like HOLD ON SHUT UP IT'S ANG! and she was not as fangirl as I would have expected. We were sold out of that show, and to further compound the delicious scents of Polident and Aqua Net in the theater, the air conditioning broke halfway through. Heh. People were unhappy, to say the least.

And a skim milk had its NYC sell-by date today, so I was a lucky lady who now has a quart of milk in her fridge. Pudding!

Oh, speaking of milk, I tried to make Cream of Wheat for breakfast today at Mark's and ended up with Soup of Wheat. I have no idea what happened, except that maybe I should have been a tad more exact on my liquid-to-wheat ratio. Next time, perhaps. It was still good, just not congealed at all.

And ugh ugh ugh, let me just tell you how much I disapprove of any roommate who skips on out of town with not so much as a by-your-leave and thus ends up forcing ME to help clean the gross kitchen so that pictures can be taken for a new-roommate Craigslist ad. Thanks a bunch, Will. More like won't, am I right?

Right now I'm kind of missing Daniel but not enough to want to give up his sweet, wonderful bed. Did I mention that his pillows are hypoallergenic? Oh yes.

Ooh ooh ooh, I managed to cordon off a week of life to come home to Pittsburgh. We're taking the bus (!) for six and a half hours from Canal Street to Oakland. Although given my colorful history with Chinatown buses, we'll probably be four hours late and break down in King of Prussia. Then I'll hitch a ride on the local boxcar and meet some colorful yet kindly characters en route.

Some girl stuck a temporary tattoo on my arm last weekend at Monster Mania and it is still tenaciously holding on. I tried to scrub it off with soap in the shower but this thing will not budge. It used to say "7 Deadly Sins" with the website URL underneath but now the 7 is all worn off and the site name is practically illegible. Where's my Goo Gone?
