This past weekend we made
our way to my ‘rents so we could watch Shelly graduate high school.
It’s insane that this is the girl I used to watch Monty Python and 3
Stooges with at the tender age of 4. She used to sing along into the
“microphone” (aka my music stand) while I played bass guitar...she’s
loved Rob Zombie and Daft Punk since the age of 6. The kid is just
awesome. And now she’s all growned up and graduated. She looked
beautiful...and now her plans are to attend Drexel’s online program for
medical billing. Congrats Shell!
On Sunday we made our way back to Philly b/c we had tickets to the
last performance of Arden Theater’s THE SEAFARER The Seafarer is set in
Ireland during Christmas, and the reviews touted it as better than the
NYC performance. I really enjoyed the show. I had seen 2 of the actors
in previous plays (ORSON’S SHADOW & GLENGARRY GLENROSS/BUG) so it
was nice to see them in a different role and acted effortlessly.
Drinking and swearing as an good Irish tale, and funny to boot.
I made a split decision to stay in Philly for the night so we booked
a room at the Society Hill Hotel and headed to South St for dinner (@
Supper - yummy black truffle deviled eggs!) and drinks (Mannys),
rounding out the night with Brownie’s in Olde City and much megatouch.
Monday morning - panic attack - 1st one in ages - all related to
things I’d rather not talk about. Needless to say the tasks I perform
to pay the bills has become more irritating than normal. Hence all the
depressing tweets and insanity ridden ideas of Hari Kiri. I just don’t
understand or comprehend how to keep my head above water for much
longer. Maybe if I could just flip a switch and not care, things would
be easier. But I do care. So therefore I struggle and I stress.
Anyway...I’m about halfway through BUG, which is just as great as the movie / play i’ve viewed previously.
THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY had its finale yesterday and it was insane! And obviously awesome.
TOP CHEF MASTERS is on right now and the “lost supper” themed dinner
they had to make was for the writers / creators of LOST so BKV was at
the table. He wasn’t introduced (surprise surprise! - after seeing
poor Mike Oeming not get a proper intro on THE APPRENTICE i wasn’t at
all surprised) and was decidedly silent as compared to the other
patrons. This show is proving pretty addictive with all the stars and
great cooking.
The Phillies are letting the Blue Jays kill them. TOmorrow is a
businesspersons special so I’m staying in Filthy methinks to chill with
Trey for a bit after work.
Shz finished the 2nd pass at the comic script tonight, now my turn again! Hurrah!
Raspberry Margarita from Longhorn - we will meet again!
