(no subject)

So I know I've been boring lately (I know what you're thinking, "lately?! how 'bout always!") but there are actual reasons! So work is work, nothing new there. My boss retired, life goes on. What else? Life is full of people visiting town, and I keep either missing them or only vaguely meeting up with them or whatever. [livejournal.com profile] straif and his wife and her brother and his wife were here, and after I had to bail out on them and [livejournal.com profile] jennywrenn, I *did* manage to have lunch at the Seaport with them (which was funny, I'm like, "oh yeah, I think it's down this way somewhere... lalala" ). I took them to the same restaurant that I take all TH people to and explained my evil plans to the most benevolent evil dictator and was extended offers of shelter should I need to flee for any reason. [livejournal.com profile] trouvera was here (though she was in luck and got to hang with [livejournal.com profile] astrophysicat at the House of Blifs) and I woke her up when I came in latenight... [livejournal.com profile] stronae was also in town, and I'm so bummed I couldn't figure out a way to hang with him!

But on the plus side, I'm doing set construction & such for a play that [livejournal.com profile] tyrus is in that's opening tonight(!) and I'll be running their light board for them (which consists of pushing a button repeatedly, pretty much) so I've been at rehearsals and hanging about the theater doing work all week. I'm not totally satisified with my work so far, but then again, considering I had a fever of 101.9 when I got home from rehearsal the other night, then only got 3 1/2 hours of sleep last night, I'm close to running on empty. Not feeling so great. It'll all work out though. Say yay! for caffeine!!! and dayquil. ;)

Oh, and Neil Finn is back in concert next month!!! Woohoo!!! Now the crucial decision, 2 or 3 shows?

What are you doing with the transit strike? I was watching Letterman last night and thinking of you. =)

Shit, there's a transit strike? Did I just drop [livejournal.com profile] trouvera off to where she won't ever be able to get back to Boston?

Letterman said there was, in NYC. the subways and buses. And you have to have 4 people per car to get into the city.

I get all my news info from late night comedy/talk shows. John Stewart mentioned it too. =)

Yeah, I've really been out of the national news scene, I haven't watched the Daily Show in weeks. Mmm Jon Stewart.

He is yummy.

Not yet.

Bitchwhore won't be affected, as she takes NJ Transit from home to the office. It's the MTA (metropolitan transit authoriy) that's going on strike--NYC buses and subways. Although my bus driver this morning said he didn't think it would actually happen (after he'd been joking about it all week). Hey, I'm all for delaying the decision 48 hours and then I won't care cause I'll be on vacation.

I'm just finding the whole thing amusing.

[identity profile] piratejenny.livejournal.com 2002-12-12 09:18 am (UTC)(link)
Bitchwhore! I still have no clue how I'll get to work for the two days it'll actually affect me. If it really happens.

Our mayor is really stupid.

You could hitch a ride with a complete stranger.

Oh, right! What was I thinking?

Just stand there, with your thumb out and look vulnerable.

You're always cool, honey.

Ahh. Well, Good! =)

Sorry you're feeling sick. Hope the play goes well tonight. I assume it runs all weekend?

[livejournal.com profile] stronae kindly agreed to come out to New Brunswick to see me, ha. I'm probably not as sick as you, but still way too sick to want to come home from NYC at 12:30 at night. So, I'll get to see him! Cool, huh?

Stop complaining already, the sets look great. Considering that we started building them on Sunday, i'm surprised everything looks as good as it does.
