MIMOSAS FOR ONE

I never thought it was such a bad little tree. It's not bad at all, really. Maybe it just needs a little love.

The small club was dark, and the energy was contagious. It was 80s new wave dance party night, and Peter and I had been dancing for hours. The dance floor was packed. Scenesters with attitude to spare, thinking they're the shit, fall all over each other while "inventing" their cliche hipster dance moves. I was starting to fade, but Peter is a man posessed, continuing to dance even though his legs are throbbing in pain. I start scanning the crowd. The long haired guy who hasn't slowed down all night, rico suave and his female companion who probably danced at the same club back in the 80s when the songs were new, the girl with the beret who has been center stage all night with drink in hand. Tall skinny guy and his throng of wannabes. That is when I saw it. the perfect fannypack. the girl wearing it is dancing crazy. she has long straight hair, and a carona dangling from her hand, her lanky arms swaying to and fro. I point this out to peter and we want to tell her how c...

i love olives. i love them so much, that tonight i had them for dinner. i went to safeway and got a container of gormet olives. they were a mix of greek olive medley with feta cheese, and blue cheese stuffed olives. i ate every last one. now i want some more. i want some more olives. i went olive tasting once. i went olive tasting at the olive pit in corning, just off of highway 5. i tasted many olives including ones stuffed with garlic, stuffed with pepper jack cheese, stuffed with spicy blue cheese, stuffed with habenero peppers. that was hot. very hot in fact. very hot but very good. i love olives, yes i do. i love olives. how 'bout you?

5 things blowing my mind right now 1. . aluminum christmas tree with color wheel a staple of late 50s and early 60s households, these highly flamable aluminum wonders come to life with the help of a rotating color wheel. There is one in the window of a vintage shop in my neighborhood. I could stare at it for hours. I laughed at my best friend when she first told me that her husband wanted one. I passed it off as another side effect of his obsession with all things 50ish vintage 2. living in a great neighborhood within walking distance of cool stuff the fact that i found the great aluminum christmas tree in my neighborhood is a great segway. Last night I had a lovely meal at yummy, affordable greek restaurant. this morning, i walked to the store to pick up a few things, and stopped to get a hot chocolate. tonight, i walked back to gawk again at the christmas tree and snap a photo. Then I stopped to get a slice of my favorite pepperoni pizza from pizza my heart on my way home. it doesn...

due to the cryptic nature of my last blog post, I feel the need to clarify. Since the news has hit, i guess there is nothing left to hide. my company, american musical theatre of san jose, has gone bankrupt :( before you go posting messages of sympathy and well wishes let me say 2 things: 1. yes, it totally sucks. It sucks for all the people who have had to clean out their desks. it sucks for the city of San Jose: 75 years of musicals are no more. it sucks for the loyal patrons. 2. there may still be some hope for me and some of my box office peeps. I like games, but the waiting game is the worst one i ever played.
