Reading
I'm The One That I Want by Margaret Cho. I was so disappointed that I couldn't make the book fair at UCLA last weekend with my friend Tracey, so she thought to buy the book for me. I missed the one-woman show when I lived in New York, but Tracey and I went to see the film last fall in Santa Monica. If you want to know how much my friends rock, Tracey even had it autographed:

Erica
Good luck in New York!
-Margaret Cho

I'm also still reading Simple Indulgence: Easy, Everyday Things to Do for Me by Janet Eastman. I'm such a dork, I keep reading the quotes and ideas, but not doing the journalling portion.

"..." "Someday we'll find it
the rainbow connection
the lovers, the dreamers and me
alllll of us under it's spell."

-Kermit THE Frog

Listening
Stuck in my head:
"Boogie-oogie-oogie get down."

Thank you, Disco Stu! (My favorite Simpsons sight gag-cum-character.)

 


I heard Britney Spears' "Bottom of My Broken Heart" while making a selection from the feminine hygeine aisle at Wal Mart and exclaimed, "Fucking Britney Spears...Gah!"

That's one of the videos I had to watch about a million times to select snippets for the web site and the enhanced CD single. Ever hearing it again is too much, too soon.

__________
Watching
The Simpsons, The Sopranos & Armistead Maupin's Further Tales of the City. I didn't even realize there were making another one, I just happened to see it listed. I'm going to have to finish the book series now, as I think I've only read through the fourth book and this mini-series is based on the third book.

Webbing

While you're visiting the Gallery of Regrettable Food, don't miss Meat!. This one in particular made me laugh until I couldn't breathe. "Sometimes meat likes to dress up and feel pretty." Swanson Parade of Lost Identity -- women who, in probably their only 15 minutes of fame, were for the most part known only as Mrs. HisLastName.

. . .

Co-Author of The Rules to divorce! So you can't manipulate a man into marrying and staying married to you? Perhaps you have to come into it as two individuals and show who you really are from the beginning? I guess this means that no amount of growing your hair long, pretending not to be smart or funny, and "training" a man will make for a happy marriage.

. . .

Ever wonder where that dollar bill's been? Mine was in Chicago two months ago.

Dreamin' is free

Another Elvis dream (I'm doing the Memphis section of my color scrapbook now, but I haven't got to Graceland yet), this one cannibalistic.

What started out as an autopsy to discover THE TRUTH, turned into Elvis Stew. It was rich and beefy. Ewwwwwwwww!

__________
Thinking
Why is it that the same personality quirks are taken as crazy and stalky by some, while loveably wacky by others? Is there some litmus test for this, so I stop wasting my time?
__________
What's cookin? now I'm blogging what I'm eating, whoa.
Still literate as of 9/29/2000 12:20:01 AM

This sucks! just what I needed...another dorkblog.
Jeepers, creepers, I last used my peepers on 9/29/2000 12:24:59 AM

This rules! My trip photographs, they're better than expected. Now to get them all organized, it's only been a year!

I am...testing blog updating via Digital Path's DPWeb Demo of the Palm VII.

I'm a complete and total nerd, but I need a way to fax resumes, email resumes, keep in touch with friends and yes, have my one luxury of updating this journal, when I get to New York. I can't afford a laptop and won't have phone service for a few weeks, so I'm sampling options.

If this works, it will be far and away the best option. By the time I back up and ship my computer and software and buy a monitor (I've been using my mother's), I could buy a Palm VIIx for less.

I've wanted a Palm VII since I had to send one to Britney Spears. She wanted one, so we got one free from Palm (don't get me started on how the richest people get the most free stuff). They were brand new then and the idea of wireless Internet and email was just so beyond my budget. Now they've slashed the Palm VII from $449 (I almost bought one to do travel updates for my trip last spring) to $199 with a $100 rebate after 3 months of service.

The PalmNet service isn't that much more expensive than AOL, which I'm giving up. I've also found free hosting for my sites, which will save me a lot of money each month.

I'm all for giving up luxuries and making sacrifices to facilitate this move back to New York. I've donated 4 boxes of clothes and am tossing out a ton of other clothes and posessions. The one thing I've been fretting over is how I'll keep in touch if I don't have phone or web access. The one thing I'll miss isn't TV, but updating my journal. I've been missing it already because I'm so busy doing things around the house for my mother, packing and getting things ready for the move. That's a shame, because it's right here. In just two weeks (I've had to delay the move again until May 28 or so), I won't have the luxury of updating this page until I have a few months of income.

I read this page via this Palm VII demo and it works just fine with the images turned off. Who knew I was Palm-friendly? I know it's frivolous, but I don't think I can make it mentally/intellectually for very long without the writing and the feedback. I'm addicted to seeing my words out there and to receiving kind emails. Viva Blogger Wireless!
