Tonight I saw a guy eat a lightbulb, and eat fire, and turn into a gorilla, and jump on broken glass, and swallow swords, and there was a bearded lady who juggled knives, and at the end we all were encouraged to launch really long balloons at one another, which we did for a surprisingly long and laughter-filled time.

Free Shows for Tavie Week concludes tonight with Carnival Knowledge. I have no idea what it is. (Click my own hyperlink? Yawn.)

Good interview today at produce company for overnight job. I like the idea of starting the workday at 11 pm. I was never meant for a daytime life. This is the perfect DSPS job. There was concern expressed that I was "overqualified" and would become bored. I hope I made it clear that being overqualifed is in no way an issue for me. (I've never been overqualified for anything in my life. I'm happy just to be qualified. No, I didn't tell him that. Sheesh.)
Also have an interview Monday at the company where Kirsten just started. That's a day job, though.

Stephanie P. doesn't believe in blogs. She's the latest in a series of Stephanies, that which I like to call Too Many Stephanies, that are in my life.
It started with Stephanie A., my best friend since first grade. I haven't seen the bitch in six months, since we went to Disney World, but that's okay because we're in it for life.
Then came Toronto Steph, who's from the Kids in the Hall newsgroup and whom I've not seen or spoken to in way too long because she's busy bein' College Girl at U of T.
There was, around that same time, Texas Steph, who became just Steph, and I guess Steph M., because Steph P. is also from Texas. Steph M. has lived in Mint Manor->The Penthouse since last fall. I see her more than any other Steph.
Her friend from Texas, Steph P., recently came to stay while she looks for a job here.
Confused yet? Me too. But I love all of my Stephs.

I love erin's pictures from Tuesday. Especially the one of the dilapidated shack, formerly a seafood restaurant in Jersey City that I fancy is the kind of place I'll be able to afford one day...

Free Shows for Tavie Week continues! Tonight My Little Love made up for weeks of blow-offery in grand fashion by taking me to see, not only a musical, but a Sondheim musical-- and furthermore, one that I'd really regretted not getting tickets to. Along with Mater Mattis, we graced the uncomfortable seating of Studio 54 with our presences.
In the Confessional portion of our post, I don't know if I've mentioned this publicly before, but I'm ready to come clean and admit tha when I was 12-- half a lifetime ago!-- I had a serious, heart-wrenching, gut-twisting crush on Neil Patrick Harris. It shames me to say this now, but I think confessions are cleansing for the soul. Oh, how I loved the Doog. I wrote him letter after letter, which I never mailed. I soaked my pillow with tears. On a family Amtrak trip, our train stopped briefly in his hometown of Albequerque and I fantasized that he would drive past the station, meet my eye, and realize we were in love. Back then, I barely knew what a gay person was, and had no idea that he was the first in what would be an impressive succession of crushes on Friends of Dorothy. All I knew was that me and Doogie were soulmates.
Tonight, as I watched him play Lee Harvey Oswald, I let myself become Preteen Tavie again and bask in the glory of being in the same room as (giggle, squeal), NPH. I forgot at how appalling I found him as an adult, how creepy it was when he took over the role of the Emcee in Cabaret, how embarrassing it was to realize that I had been hopelessly in love with a squareheaded, b-list actor who openly preferred the company of men. (And, who am I kidding, I still find that hot.)
Anyway, it was really something. Say what you will, Doogie has a voice on him. Real good singin'.
The Sondheim score was wonderful, but there were way too few songs.

I'm not gonna be coy. Aimee Mann FUCKING RULES and not the least because I didn't have to stand in a standing-mostly venue. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO yeah. And even though she didn't sing "Susan" or "Invisible Ink", she DID sing "Fourth of July", "Long Shot", "Sugarcoated", a new song from an album-in-the-works, and other wonderful things.
Also a newfound respect for Todd Barry, who erin overheard being nervous about going backstage after the show to see Aimee. That makes me like him a little. Backstage is a terribly awkward place. I usually just leave. The few times I've done backstage have never been worth it. It's so much easier to just email people. I think I'd rather be a Friendster than a friend. Hah.
The only nerve-wracking part of the evening was when they confiscated erin terribly expensive camera, because her coming was so last-minute that she forgot to leave it behind. It all worked out, but they sort of left it sitting very visibly in an office. Yikes.
Patton Oswalt offered comedy stylings. He's, if you didn't know, the best stand-up comic in the world. He had a stupid heckler whom I would've beat up if I'd been anywhere near him.

In the past two months I've helped three different people move. (And two out of three of them were not really packed and needed help packing, as well.)
I just want to let everyone in the world know that I'm done, and if you need me to help you move, I start at $20/hour. $30 if you're not packed.
