Darren won’t stop putting disturbing thoughts into my brain. Someone please make him stop.

My horoscope for the week, courtesy of The Onion:

Virgo: (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Destiny has decided that you are a weak and unworthy vessel for its purposes. Starting next week, you’ll be replaced with Robert Vaughn.

Sounds about right, somehow.

Shoo fly, don’t bother me.
Ugh. There’s a rather large fly buzzing around my room. I’m just sitting here, trying to enjoy a rerun of “Hamish Macbeth” on BBC America when I notice this big ass fly start walking across the screen. (Either that, or it was six smaller flies combined to form one large fly. Or maybe I watched too many episodes of “Transformers” and “Voltron” as a kid.) Anyway, he’s flown off the television, but I’m pretty sure he’s still in the room somewhere.

I just have a feeling that he’s going to fly into my mouth while I’m sleeping.

Who gives a flying IT?
Mystery of Ginger ends
It strikes me that maybe the South Park boys called this one a few weeks back…

Yawn.

Bored. So very bored.

It’s not that I don’t have quite a lot to do, it’s just that I’m bored doing it. Makes me wish for long weekends every week.

(Plus, I don’t have Darren here to keep me entertained this afternoon. Maybe that’s it.)

Yawn. 2 1/2 hours to go until the end of the day.

Well, the good news is that Excite@Home hasn’t crapped out just yet. The bad news is that it hangs like a spectre over my head, and I don’t know when I’ll be without internet from home.

Also, it just recently occurred to me that, while I have a modem and a valid Earthlink username, I deleted everything off my computer related to my old dial-up connection – including the program I had been using for said connection. Oops.

Today is November 30, 2001.

The expected high temperature in New York City today is somewhere between 65 and 70 degrees.

This is, without a doubt, fucked up.

Finding a backup to Excite@Home
Excite@Home, which filed for bankruptcy last month, said earlier this week that it could shut off its service to cable companies as early as Friday.

Fan-fucking-tastic.

Happy Happy Joy Joy, Happy Happy Joy Joy…
Zap2it | VH1 Spotlights ‘Ren & Stimpy’
The animated characters Ren and Stimpy are taking over VH1 as the cable music network kicks off a mini marathon of four episodes of “Ren & Stimpy” this Friday (Nov. 30).

Finally Getting Some Air…

The four of you who read this page on a regular basis have probably been wondering where the hell I’ve been over the last month or so. (Even I was shocked to realize that I hadn’t posted anything since 11/7!) Well, here’s the lowdown…

The middle of October saw me going right from 15+ hour days at work straight into rehearsals for “Seven Keys”, which is finally up and running. It’s actually been up and running for about two weeks, but with the holiday and all, it’s been tough getting back into a pattern. Toss in the fact that I haven’t had all that much time at work to post to ye olde blog, and there you have it.

In the meantime, I’ve seen an uncle I haven’t seen in 13 years, taken my truck into the shop for three days, prompting the Amazing Rental Car Experience (I swear, if I ever meet the man who designed the 2001 Chevy Cavalier, I will punch him. In the face.), driven back and forth from NYC about a million times, and experienced new and unheard of forms of sleep deprivation. Sure, I may complain every now and then, but truth be told, I love every minute. It just takes it’s toll, that’s all I’m saying.

Hopefully, now that I’m a little more settled, I’ll be getting back to my regular posting routine. Yes, I am fully aware that I said the same thing a few weeks ago, but I REALLY mean it this time. Really.
