while looking for something on my computer, i came across this. it was going to be the blog entry for 9.11.2001, which i decided not to post [for obvious reasons]. i had meant to post it when things had returned to some semblance of normalcy [ha!] but totally forgot.

this strikes me as something tom would do. i'm not sure why. boredom's not a burden anyone should bear.

the wedding was lovely. my date was lovely and looked ohsofine. the reception was a cast party, but we were dressed in nicer clothes and there were parents. smooshy nostalgic melancholy. so much more that will remain unsaid. . .

things i have learned/realized/whatever in the last week [or so].
+ apparently, women have suddenly become breast-less. or at least that's what the people who make dresses seem to think.
+ movies should come with a "you may not want to watch this in the wake of 9.11" warning.
+ macguffin
+ some people are heroes. for many, many reasons.
+ i should really write this stuff down when i think of it, lest i forget.

i admit it. i watch dark angel. but i am concerned about where the show is going. or amused. one of the two.
"hmmmmm. well, last year ended up with them admitting they like each other. so the sexual tension is gone."
"we need it back! you can't have a show without sexual tension!"
"i know i know. but what can we do?"
"i've got it! we make this disease. and it'll be genetically engineered just for him. and then, we make her the carrier. so that way, they can't ever touch or he'll DIE!"
"brilliant!"

three monkeys.

10.16.2001

annie and the hedonists were faboo. i [of course] bought their brand new cd. it, too, is faboo, but sadly, does not do her voice justice.

cirque du soleil to be released on dvd.

i had to fly. the airports were quiet and muted and strange.

littleredboat: october 5.

things that made me jump that probably wouldn't have if they happened before Tuesday. walking down columbus ave in boston last night, all of the street lights suddenly went out. apartments and restaurants were still lit, but the street lights went dark. and my heart stopped. and i thought, "hm. this is actually kind of pretty! i wish i could focus on that instead of thinking that i am going to get shot or that something will certainly blow up." and then this morning, driving through the pike tunnel [no, i don't know the real name or if it even has one] all the tunnel lights suddenly went out. very freaky.
