I saw a girraffe poop yesterday. How did YOU fight the terrorists this weekend?

In other news, I have entered my last week of being 23. I'm not particularly frightened of 24, but it has some finite quality about it that's a bit unnerving. So I'm throwing a balls to the wall party this weekend in defiance of this looming step further into adulthood. If you didn't get the invite then I probably don't have your email address, and for that, I apologize. Let me know if you can come and I'll forward you the info. If I like you. If not then I'll send you on a wild goose chase into the bowels of the city that will eventually lead you to the seedy underbelly of Chicago better known as Carroll's biker bar where surly Harley riding bouncers will threaten you with switchblades for standing too close to the door.
The party's this Saturday the 26th at our apartment. Be there or be flattened like a pancake by Roscoe the Bouncer's beefy forearm.

2006 Chicago Marathon: Sunday, 22 October 2006

John Bingham is my new idol: http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,5033,s6-187-189-0-8137,00.html

This article is so ridiculously motivating, I'm twitching at my desk to get out and run my 4-miler on Lake Shore Drive as soon as possible.

My boss is in New Zealand for the entire month of November. You can stop worrying about getting me the perfect gift because that, my friends, is the greatest birthday present I could ask for. Okay I lied. You're still expected to get me the perfect gift.

Our web developer is coming in today for a hands-on tutorial that should take, oh, say, about 4 hours. On the plus side, he's springing for lunch at Mambo Grill. Mmmmm delectible enchiladas........

No, I haven't been locked in a moving vehicle for 2 months...

But I did manage to forget my password and for whatever reason in life I wasn't getting the "send me my password again" emails I requested several times over. But fear not, land lubber! I have resurfaced and shit-balls, there's a lot of catching up to do. The big Orlando audition is in 1 month and I'm starting to feel the pressure of not having chosen a song and not having a comp card yet. My solution is bafflingly simple: Focus all my attention on planning the upcoming housewarming/birthday party and ignore all inclination to plan ahead until the last possible moment at which point I will freeze up and be incapable of doing anything except those things most detrimental to my success at said audition, i.e. smoking, drinking, playing Hot Hoops at Jake's until 3am and other such debautchery. Which is, for all intents and purposes, the basic run down of any theater pursuant's average day. Christ it's comforting to know what you were put on this earth for.



So far all I've managed to do in preparation for this audition is get my headshot sent to Orlando. Ben says it doesn't look like me. I've yet to decide whether or not that's a good thing or a heinous insult.

Same boy you've always known. I mean girl. Girl.
