SO jealous of the Daisyfest in SF. Hope you're having a wonderful time!

We did!

Daisy Jane is perfectly Daisy Jane in person. Very easy and fun to hang with her all day. After we got back from the museum I had her feed Matilda while I made us quesadilla. Then we went downtown and hung out at City Lights Books until Juliana got off work.

Then drinks then Italian food (Juliana picked up the tab), and the Zmayhemi left the party girls to wreck North Beach under their own power.

And DJ and juliana are back in the apartment for the moment, after making a tour of the relevant bars before the fratboys invade the neighborhood. Much like New Orleans in that aspect. Shots of Chartreuse have been taken. Zydeco is being listened to right now.

Very jealous of the SF fun.

I've been sitting here listening to folk music and brooding. I need a better plan.

(Just turned on the TV. Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School is on. I've already seen this episode. But it's oddly compelling.)

I'm jealous of the SF fun, which I could have joined but the house concert happened first. And this is good. However, it has interfered with my plans to meet Daisy jane. Life should not interfere with Buffista fun

Oooh. Just noticed that tomorrow night, the JCC is showing The Goonies, followed by an eighties movies trivia contest. That could be fun...

beth - no chance you and hubby could nip up to my place for a spot of brunch and DJ groping?

Ooh! The Goonies!

I'm a little drunk. Appletini and a beer. Fun!

I love New York. I love living here. I saw a Broadway show tonight - Frost/Nixon, a dramatization of the circumstances around the David Frost / Richard Nixon interviews that led to him confessing his wrongdoing on TV. It was really good. Then, I went to a bar that has a cabaret show every Friday night where anybody that wants can sing Broadway songs. Only most of the people there are really really good, so it's not your normal karaoke, and the crowd is very Broadway Musical Theater fan.

Tonight, among other things, I heard one of Idina Menzel's original understudies for Elphaba in Wicked (Kristy Cates - she also played the role in Toronto and Chicago, apparently, and had her own private ending of Defying Gravity written for her by Stephen Schwartz) sing two amazing songs, then casually sing Defying Gravity with all the belting gloriousness that the song can bear. Then the host of the cabaret told naughty stories about her for a while. Then some other awesome people sang. Then i had to leave because I have to teach in 9 hours, yes, even on a Saturday (which means no theater with Zenkitty. Sadness.). I will definitely be back at that event on future Friday nights. Yay.

DH is doing musician stuff - and I am wondering what is happening with the chairs. Which sounds crazy. But I won't let people go crazy at the last minute - because it turns me into a bitca. ( i always think of a bitca and this tiny little extremely annoying wanna be bitch. I would prefer a real bitch )

Tonight, among other things...

Green like Elphaba about Gris's night. That sounds amazing!!

I, on the other hand, went to see Disturbia with a friend. It was pretty good, but the teenagers in the theater made it even better. They were so into it that I was laughing out loud at their extreme reactions.

Then, I came home and have been working on job hunting. Why did I choose to go into a teaching area where there is not only no shortage, but there are too many of us for the number of jobs? Why did I do that again?

Kristy Cates

Cool! The night I saw Wicked on Broadway, Kristy Cates was playing Elphaba. I remember saying to my companion, "How could anyone be better than that? She's an understudy?!?"
