well, my oh my, what a traumatizing week. First i was notified that my email account was going going gone as the website with such a cool domain name (Z.COM) was closing. So i had to switch over... but Honey was so very nice and let me out of the nursery right away so here i am writing a fourth meaningless post. And then there is the sweet, funny, nice boy who tells us lowly first year theatre students what to do when ushering... i was beginning to have such a junior high school crush on him, and then i found out today that he is gay. I should've known. He dressed too well. That's about it for specific traumas, although general ones have just included homework, costume labs, lack of money and worries over the future. Jobs for the summer, applications and auditions for next year, the possibility of a trip to europe in september, which of course goes back to the lack of money which goes back to the jobs question.... Well, it has been a pleasant week in some aspects too. Tuesday my friend and i skipped our afternoon classes and went to Butchart gardens where the nice gatekeeper boy let us in for free. (It wasn't very busy.) So we wandered around and did fun things and took pictures and felt like tourists even though we live only a few miles away. And i've bought one of those lovely terra cotta rings that go around lightbulbs - you put them in your lamp and add a few drops of scented oil and presto.. my room smells lovely, like lavendar and spices. It disguises the musty dorm odor. I have made it a resolution to see B&S in concert one day in the next two years. So if they tour the US, i will take a bus and make a road trip out of it... if they tour canada i will be in seventh heaven but it's just simply not going to happen... most likely it will just be another reason to take my trip to europe. MORE CONTENT: i was out buying fabric today for a vest we have to make in costumes, and i was looking at the button rack and i found two lovely little BUS BUTTONS!!! They look just like the t-shirts! So that was my impulse buy for the day. Yesterday it was chocolate. But chocolate isn't really an impulse; it's a reflex. As for the obligatory "look at all the cool music i've been listening to" paragraph (hehe, just thought i'd add my 2cents to the hopefully-defunct music-snob debate), i've gotten really into hefner lately. Yesterday i played "we love the city" over and over. I love that song, and "Normal Molly". also liz phair and neutral milk hotel. and 3...6...9 seconds of light. 4 wonderful songs. especially le pastie de la bourgeoisie. oh dear. my friend alex found a page in the campus music review paper and cut out the "symptoms of music snobbery" article and handed it to me with the instructions to put it up on my wall. i think he gets tired of asking me what's in my discman and me telling him the name of a)some band he's never heard of... again, or b)belle & sebastian... again. well, that's it for me for now - time to go find my black clothes and head to the theatre.
