[i know you've all been holding your breath.] well. tonce upon a whime, there was a gretty little pirl named prinderella. [oh sorry, wrong story.] well. when i was in college, there was a fabulous theatre festival called new voices. it was the most fun. during nv10, i got to play the part of caroline, a hippie psychic, in the dreamery by catherine darensbourg. for the part, the front of my hair [which ryan has deemed a wellspring of curl] was all in little tiny braids. one day, i bounced into the theatre [i tend to bounce a lot] and my braids were swinging and my curls were springing and my friend h [who happens to have two degrees in physics] got very excited [as h is wont to do] and proclaimed, "you are a veritable cornucopia of simple harmonic motion!" the end. daylight savings time starts this weekend. spring ahead, lose an hour of sleep. 10 digit dialing starts in massachusetts monday. saw the vagina monologues last night. it was amazing. wow. |

[via metafilter] [speaking of cars, i've been having really wacky car karma lately. been stuck in horrible traffic more than once this week, and almost got totally nailed this morning by a yahoo who apparently thought the stop sign was optional.] you've got to be kidding me, case 8 in a series. monkeyphonecall.com.
