New Year's Resolutions:
Lose a million pounds.
Make the content of this awesomely designed blog less lame.
Wear nicer clothes.
Write down things I need to remember, instead of just trusting that if it's important, I'll remember.
Eat more vegetables.
Have stronger opinions.
Buy a real camera, take real pictures.
Moisturize.
I'm in the office today. It's . . . .slow. Sigh.

All the cool kids are doing the FireFox thing. Maybe it's time for Sarie to get on the bus.
I have done my brain, my body, and my relationship the disservice of agreeing to be in no less than six projects "after the holidays". Thankfully, two of them are one day a week things (no rehearsals) and at least two are going to have to wait, or go on without me. I so wish I didn't have a day job. I feel guilty leaving my bf by himself at night. It feels so wrong.
On the subway yesterday, there was a college age girl singing carols and walking around with a cup. She said, "I'm a student here in new york and I need some money to get home to see my family". God. Shut up. She was in those those hideous Puma boots you wouldn't be caught dead wearing unless you had spent a fortune on them. Charming. Here's a nickel. Enjoy Muncie.

This is one of those things that makes me realize how much I love a good shitstorm. That makes me feel like I should be a better person than I am. I think I just like when smart people hand out verbal bitchslaps.
I called in late to work and slept for an extra hour. That alone made me feel like a million dollars. I also got free pizza, and my hair looks nice. This means the show I do tonight will be horrible. That's how my brain works. We'll see if I'm right, though.
Also, I understand the ipod. First, you fill it wil your favorite songs. Then, when you hit "shuffle" and every song is a song that you like. That is a beautiful thing.

I start a new class tonight. I had three things happening simultaneously this evening and now I can do none of them because I and my brother, his wife, my boyfriend and a close frined of ours all wanted to take a class from one of the best improvisers in the city.
I am missing:
a holiday party (the girl throwing it is done with my unimpressive friendship, i'm sure. this is the second time I've had to blow her off)
my other friend's birthday party (going to try to go late. try try try. will be sleepy.) and a sketch group at an unnamed variety show that I really wanted to see. It's all material I've seen a million times before, but I like it. Also, I've been busy every wednesday since august, and I really want to go to this variety show. (it rhymes with 'shwash blendsday'.) (I'm an idiot. I just don't want anybody finding this page. not that it matters.)(anyway.)
So I do none of it. This is so boring. I'm so sorry. I will be babbling about the class later, so you can look forward to skimming over that entry.
I tried to send my friend a barbie phone call, but she either didn't accept it or it went to her voicemail. if I wanted to resend it, it would have cost me 99 cents. Well, f that.
Oh, guess how many christmas presents I've purchased?
If you said zero, you get a prize. (Except there is no prize because I haven't bought anything yet.) yikes.
Sometimes there's no art to this. Most of the time it's just: "Hi. I have internet access."

welcome to my brainhead.
I think I might go around the office secretly breaking things.
I slept this many hours last night.
I love and hate everything.
Look at this snowflake I made.
It's hard to pretend you're not eating a hersey's kiss on the phone.
Paper cutz rule!
Sometimes the vending machine is out of ginger ale and that's just how it is.
A vitamin E stick is a girl's best friend.
These pants are the greatest seven dollars I ever spent.
One time I asked for bangs and she said no.
When my mom would get stressed at work, she'd come home loopy and sing toothpaste commercials.
I have a unique understanding of copy machines.
I like this: ~
The sheets on my bed are softer in the morning than they are at night.

What am I going to do when this show is over? I'm seriously worried.
We have a pickup rehearsal tonight where we have to "work on our blow lines" and "put in more jokes". Well, fuck. We have to make it funny now?
Did I ever tell you about the janitors at my old-old job? They used to follow me around and call me "chicken". If we were ordering food they'd say "Get me a piece'a'chicken, Naw, TWO pieces, hwah hwah."
It made me feel like a delicate flower.
I have Modest Mouse and the songs from the show in constant rotation in my head. I can barely stand it.
"we were done-done-done with all the fuck-fuck-fuckin around . . . "
Pretty sick of it. I might go buy something new after work. We'll see.

This is the only song I know by these guys. I have this album somewhere. Anyway. I like this.
"This Will Be Laughing Week"
Ultimate Fakebook.
Step up to the stage, kids - and don't retreat
from this Carnival of Volume
I know that you're red-eyed and bloodshot-beat
ya just can't lick that all day frown
And now you're rollercoaster sick and drinkin' lemonade
Well, listen up!
On Sunday the tears were fallin'
and trickling down your cheeks,
But yesterday's cares are no big deal
Cuz this will be laughing week
This will be laughing week
They won't let us in now cuz we're all freaks
So grab your magic cartoon costumes
And then clap your hands and just stomp your feet
and let this medicine buzz on and on
Like carousels in stereo, and don't jump off
no, don't jump off
On Sunday the tears were fallin'
and trickling down our cheeks
But yesterday's cares are no big deal
Cuz this will be laughing week
This will be laughing week

Everyone's a building burning with no one to put the fire out.
I spent 12 hours at the theater yesterday. It was great and exhausting. I'm in love with it all. I won't bore you with it, but it was a good show and it all went really well. Now I do the collapsing part.
I'm going to the slope tonight to work on the toon. I hope it's good. It will be. V's a perfectionist, I am the opposite, somewhere in between will be a good little moment of animated something or other.

Monday night we worked on the animated short. The only chance this thing has is V, because he's good at things, and I am not. I know how the whole thing will shake out. Everything about it will be great except the writing and the females' voices. (things that I did.)
We're not going to talk about the tree-lighting at Rockefeller Center.
Also, I signed up for a be-a-santa program with my friend (actually ,she signed up to buy gifts for four kids, and then realized it was going to be pretty expensive, so I took one of them. Meta-charity.) and because I didn't have any time, Todd ran out and got the gifts for me. I don't think he'll ever quite understand why he had to buy a gba sp for some kid we'll never meet.
"It's because we're generous. Now go buy him a game to go with it."
My friend actually got a pair of brothers and bought them a ps2. And she gave a guitar she had around that she never used to another friend to give as a gift. Can you imagine that little kid's face on christmas morning? Aw. Happy.
