Lest I forget to mention, watching Free to Be, You and Me again after all these years was exactly the magical, nostalgiac experience I'd hoped for. The bit with Kris Kristoffersson and all the gentle 70's folks singing a round in a circle in front of a fire was something I'd completely forgotten about (since the song isn't on the soundtrack album), but it's something that really formed a strong part of my personality as a child, I think, because it's a visual image I never really forgot and the reason I'm so fond of any scene in a book, movie or television show in which people sit around and sing together. And the whole special-- particular "Brothers and Sisters"-- is the epitome of 70's New York for me. You in particular know what I mean.

When I grow up I'm gonna be happy
and do what I like to do
Like makin' noise and makin' faces
and makin' friends like you.

Have I mentioned how much I enjoy sarah's kith ng member page? It's beautifully designed. Kitana's and erin's answers really please me, for some reason. Good entertainment.

I can't sleep.

Tara, I'm also concerned that Scott's more casual fans will skip his fantastic show this time around because of the ticket prices. And certainly anyone who hasn't seen him before would hesitate to slap down forty bucks to try him out. Especially with this incredibly (wonderfully) naughty material. It's distressing. I just hope the ticket prices don't hurt him as much as I fear they will. I myself was planning to go to more than one or two shows (being a pathetic superfanatic as I am), but there's no way I can afford it now. And I'm crazy.

As for dressing up for work (which by the way starts Wednesday now, not Monday-- whew!!), although nothing was specifically said, I'm pretty sure that I'll have to wear clothes that are nowhere near as comfortable as I'm used to. I'm pretty certain sneakers will be frowned upon, which is torture in and of itself.

Re:Bros. Creegan. I think you're right. I'd probably have to go alone... I wonder if anyone would want to go with me...

Ohhh, thanks for reminding me, Tara, that I meant to respond to that entry as well. Of course people check Kitana out, because she is, as you say, a hottie. (I have distilled your argument down to its thesis: hottie.) In fact, I have witnessed people checking her out with my very own eyes. She just has a warped sense of herself.

And thanks for the welcome to dronedom. That reminds me I need to buy shoes. I have shoes, but they are not that comfortable. Oh, dronedom. Oh, my soul.

I just want to complain about what I feel is the extravagant and outrageous price for the Scott Thompson show tickets. I saw the show in Montreal and, of course, I feel the entertainment is more than worth the price, and I've never been to the theatre so I can't really complain about that, but I just can't afford to see more than two shows at $40 ticket prices and it makes me sad. I was counting on them being about $20, maybe $25. It's just... it's... evil.

Well, not really. I mean, they have to pay for the theatre and they're going to be there a good long time and the money has to come from somewhere, but still. I just... wanted to see more. Now I have to be really careful about what shows I choose. I already have my first tickets-- going with mom, Kirsten, Gina, Erica and Steve. So whichever other show I go to, it has to be one that Kitana is attending, and if Linn comes down, her too, and I really wanted to see it with erin, Matt and Goose. Not to mention Tara and Nicole.

Oh, madness! I know too many people.

Yep. I'm a left-liberal.

That's what I thought you said.

And now our Southern Gentleman joins the ranks. I enjoyed reading his blog, especially his discovery that he's not as politically conservative as he thinks he is. I need to take quiz again because I can't remember what I got when I took it, but I think it said I was somewhere closer to a middle-leftist, which is completely bogus because I know in my haht of hahts that I am a Bleeding Heart Liberal. {g} It's like that test that tells you what city you're supposed to live in. My number-one city was HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT. The Insurance Capital of the World. The most depressing city I've ever been to. I like most cities, but if I had to pick one NOT to live in, Hartford would be at the top of the list.

Bogus, I tell you.

Gina and I were supposed to have dinner with Matt last night, but he wasn't in any of the times I called him so we had some Indian food on Christopher street and then got tired and went home.

I am excited because El Vez tickets are onsale now and Scott tickets are onsale tomorrow. So there are lots of fun shows in my future.

(Apparently the Brothers Creegan will be playing at the Mercury Lounge in September. I might be interested in going to that. Hm.)

But will she ever post?

Last night I met Matt for dinner and Roam, Roam, Roaming. We were both felt sleepy and dull. Tonight I shall meet him for dinner again (with Gina in tow). Two nights in a row? Perhaps I am a Matt junkie?

Today I got fingerprinted and photographed for my slut job, which starts Monday and will take place on Wall Street, which is inconveniently far from my school. If I work from 9 to 5, I will only have 35 minutes to navigate the increasingly frustrating subway system to get to class in time.

I passed by the NYSE and stared at the boys in blue blazers. (There were also girls in blue blazers.) I went into a deli to enjoy a Diet Coke and read some Robertson Davies and, quite appropriately, the passage I read was all about the misguided life of The Businessman. It made me feel inappropriately smug.

Now I am home and I will sleep and enjoy the last vestiges of my summer. Back to Mint Manor tonight to while these last few days away.

(I wonder where Jess is.)

I am so excited.

I am so excited.

My mom just called me and told me that Free To Be, You and Me is going to be on TV Land this Friday at 8 pm. I cannot tell you what this means to me. This is more important than obtaining the KITH pilot was to me. This is THE HOLY GRAIL. This is my childhood summed up in one television special. This is everything it means to be a child to me. I've been searching for this on tape for fifteen years. My life will be complete this Friday at 8 pm.

My mom also informed me that school starts next Monday, which is completely bogus.

I just rubbed Ben Gay on Gina's back. We are now officially married in several countries.

(And I got it all over her mouse, BUA ha!)
