I Can Start Anytime I Want.
Well, damn it, already I've fallen off the wagon. Last Sunday I had to tape The Sopranos because I was busy transcribing an interview with a porn star (by the way, a porn star's life? Not all glamour, as I was shocked to discover. No, really!), and I still haven't watched that one, so I can't possibly watch tonight's. Well, that's more homework for tomorrow night.
In other news, I can't get over my amazement at the weird change in me. I'm taller and just sort of... shaped differently. What the hell? Is it normal to grow at 25? Shouldn't I be done with that sort of thing? I finally went and bought some new clothes today, but it's disconcerting to feel so awkward about it after years of knowing just by looking at something how it would look on me. I would have noticed if I'd had a baby, so that's not why everything shifted. Seriously, this freaks me out. If this has happened to you and it's not because of a baby or major weight loss/gain, please tell me I'm not alone. I did manage to find some cute things, including among other things a H-O-T pair of denim capris and some kicky platform-y sandals for work. This whole thing has brought back bad memories of being 11 years old and too developed for little-girl clothes and too 11 years old for clothes that fit. Ugh. But an excuse to buy myself stuff is not something I take lightly.
My show with Christia is coming up in two weeks. I'm not completely off book yet, but I'm not worried about it. The biggest piece was the most crucial in terms of delivery, and I've got that more or less down (of course, with massive changes and additions at the last minute) so now it's just a matter of finishing memorization for the others. You must go see my show. It's sure to be the event of 2001. For real. Details are here.
One more thing: if you have a darling 3-bedroom house in San Pedro you're looking to sell to a delightful young couple origninally from the South Bay, please drop me a line. Thank you. That is all.
