Just A Random Thought

With the exception of school tonight, I have the day off.

I was just sitting on the couch, eating some vegetable soup to get warm, and I had a random thought: I hate questions that start with, "Can I ask you a personal question?" One, because it's like, if you have to ask, don't, and two, because if I answer "yes" and the question is asked, but it's not really a personal question, I feel let down. Like, there is all this drama and build-up, because I think someone has finally unlocked the mysteries of my brain and there will be some great realization of why I am the way I am with just one "personal question" being asked, then the "personal question" turns out to be something like, "Can I borrow a tampon?" That' s a "personal 'hygiene' question."



All in all, I had a pretty good weekend. I gigged Friday and Saturday nights. Saturday was a good night, despite the weather. It snowed like crazy, but there was a Ram's game on, so the bar my band and I played at was busy. I am an evil bitch, because I couldn't help but laugh every time the Rams dropped the football. Also, my best friend, Kim, who lives in Costa Mesa, was in town and I got to see her.

Sunday was low-key. I cashed in on some after Christmas sales at the mall. Why ever pay retail? Doug and I ordered some pizzas and watched Muppet Treasure Island. Great movie! I love the Muppets. Oh yeah, and Tim Curry is the perfect Long John Silver. I happened to catch Robbin Williams on the Golden Globes, too. I forgot what a fantastic actor he is. The last movie I saw him in was One Hour Photo, another great movie of his.

Speaking of Tim Curry, I am so looking forward to catching "Spamalot" on Broadway. The production is running in Chicago for a few weeks, but I have no desire to go to Chicago right now. It is way too cold! The show opens on Broadway in March. I hope to catch it in May. I am crazy enough to buy orchestra seats, too. Hey, if I am going to go all the way to New York to see my favorite actor in a show, it is going to be from the damn front row, or close to the damn front row. Besides, I haven't been to New York in seven years or so. The last time I went was awesome. My other best friend, Scott and I saw "Rent" and we got front row seats for that. It was amazing to say the least. Back to "Spamalot," it also stars Hank Azaria and David Hyde Pierce. How cool is that? My boyfriend and I are Monty Python freaks, so I thought I'd just combine birthdays and holidays for the next few months and take us to New York for a few days this Spring. Of course, my luck would have it that Tim's understudy would be performing the night that I go see the show. I probably just jinxed myself.
