Oh yeah, the date*. (revised)
Sunday, 31 October 2004 11:59 P GMT-06
I'm trying to figure out if Mercury slipped out of retrograde or if this is my saturn return (a few years early.) Why? Because the dates* are getting less and less horrible. Maybe I'm picking better from the dating lottery, maybe god is smiling

Want to learn about how U.S. States vote? Check out all three maps on the BBC. They explain how each state tends to vote, the electoral votes per state, and the last 50 years of electoral votes.

My friend Scott is a HUGE David Sedaris fan. HUGE. And since he knows that I also appreciate his writing, he invited me to go to see him tonight. It was a hard search for tickets, but we have two prime tickets for the backrow of the balcony at

I went to the BIG IMPROV HALLOWEEN party last night. I took my good friend Cathy and sold her on what a great time it would be, cause improv people are so fun and easy to talk to.Um. No they aren't. They are when they have an excuse to talk to

In the next five minutes I have to get into the shower. Tonight is my second date this week. An all time record, I think.Tonight is with a response to Craigslist Ad number 2. A guy who boldy said, let's not spend weeks emailing, but instead jus

Friday, 29 October 2004 11:40 A GMT-06
This was brought to my attention by True Majority.com. It is Winona "No Nuke" LaDuke's endorsement of John Kerry. She was Nader's 2000 running mate for VP.I am voting for John Kerry this November. I love this land, and I know that we ne

Lucky for my afternoon date, I am going to hop into the shower and wash my hair before I get on the el. It is my first coffee date--most have been at diners or out for drinks. We are meeting on the steps of the art institute.I'm trying to get pum

I'm just going to repost what I just posted on the WW bulletin board. I stood up to my gym staff today, as they laughed hysterically over their halloween costumes.Today I was working out for the first time in a couple weeks. Two instructors race in
Did I know a year ago?
Wednesday, 27 October 2004 12:00 A GMT-06
I was asked on a Wednesday, made flight arrangements on Thursday, and moved to London on Tuesday. The weekend was Halloween.Tonight, one year ago, everything was the same. I was working full time at IES, part time at the Shop, bemoaning my life,
To the WW Community.
Tuesday, 26 October 2004 10:50 A GMT-06
I get a lot of support on this blog from the WW community. Lots of hits, in fact most of my hits, are from either the WW website or the 50 plus website. I just wanted to say that after a couple weeks of giving up and not going to the gym or givin
Am I sore? This improv thing is rough.
Tuesday, 26 October 2004 10:14 A GMT-06
I woke up this morning stiff and sore. What class did I go to at the gym yesterday? Did I spend the day lifting couches? What did I do yesterday?Oh, I remember. Improv Class. Level 2, Class 2.Last term, on the first night of my Level 1 clas

Um, not fair sending your glamour shot.

I'm currently weeding through nearly 40 responses to my personal ad from late Friday night. Why, oh, why did I place another personal ad? Oh right, cause wanting to date my friends is a bad dating plan. So I have lots of bad photos of men, but
Lonely Friday is a BAD TIME to place a personal ad.
Saturday, 23 October 2004 9:57 A GMT-06
Last night I did it again. I placed another personal ad. What was I thinking? Argh. Now I am sifting through the responses and deleting anyone who doesn't spell out you. "U wanna hang?" NO. Don't underspell words until I know
Goodbye Couch... almost.
Friday, 22 October 2004 4:04 P GMT-06
I have parted ways with the couch. The best sectional couch ever made, that has shrunk in sections since I first obtained it in the year 2000.I first got to know the couch in the counseling room of Fort Lewis College. The once fashionable house s

Election day is creeping up on us. Twelve days away is what I heard on the news last night, which must mean that today is 11. Four years and 11 days ago (Or Three Years and 355 days ago, too early for fancy math) I was sitting at the back bar of

Friday, 22 October 2004 12:00 A GMT-06
Tortured Soul is coming back to the SmartBar and you can bet I'll be there. This time I'll drink fewer vodka/vitamin waters and won't make out with a british boy, but I will be there. I also won't wear an incredibly suburban housewife outfit and

Wednesday, 20 October 2004 10:30 P GMT-06
Today I searched the city of chicago for "It's a boy!" stickers. To my surprise, they don't exist. Scrapbooking stores don't have em, paper stores don't have em, hallmark doesn't have em, walgreens, office max. Nobody. grrr.On the b
There's No Crying in Baseball.
Wednesday, 20 October 2004 10:18 P GMT-06
It has been hard for me to watch the men I spend most of my waking hours with crying. What do they cry over? Baseball. Specifically, the Cubs. And I mock them. I imitate Tom Hanks, "There's no crying in baseball!" I ask, "D
On a side note...

I had a couple BIG statistics days on this blog. A couple places where I had 20 hits in an hour. What that means is someone new came along and spent some time exploring OR an old friend came back and spent some time exploring.Thanks for visiting,
Good first class.

Once again during the round the room of improv folks, I was the only person truly in Level 2 of improv. People with years of experience, on teams here, conservatory there, New York, San Fran... And me. "My improv experience is Level 1 with J
Off to level 2.
Monday, 18 October 2004 4:33 P GMT-06
Level two starts tonight. My improv class. I am no longer a beginner, although in the grand scheme of Chicago Improv I am quite the beginner. The first class is always so hard. New people. New expectations. New teacher. It brings out th
Dreaming of Friendster Boy. Grrr.
Monday, 18 October 2004 11:04 A GMT-06
This summer, some of you may remember, I had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad experience with Friendster. In the end I got a nasty email from a boy on Friendster who happened to be a customer and I quit using the social networking website.Al
