Day 421

So, I haven't blogged about my daily adventures for a solid week. Much has happened but lets stick to just today. Here's an overview:

-This morning I went to the bank and cashed in some American money only to find out that once again it is worth less than Canadian money.

-I went to the office supply store. While there I was encountered with bad news: they no longer have the ink for my printer but, there was good news as well: absolutely none of the employees hounded me to see if I needed help.

-I came home and made some notes on my Family Guy spec script and while I was writing I took a break to see that my friend posted on my Facebook wall. The post was for a drag queen garage sale to benefit charity. And, then I went into what is now called a, "CODE SPARKLE" status.

-I caught the first bus on the way to the sale and had to ride it like a rodeo clown as the bus drivers look nice in this city but secretly love torturing their passengers with jaunty stops and starts, especially if there are tons of people standing.

-My friends and I went to the drag sale only to find that it was basically two tables in a corner of a seedy bar and it was two bucks to get in. We paid the two bucks and got to see sequins, a pair of floral-patterned worn out shoes, and a complete outfit, including wig, that looked like a Janet Reno set. We left without so much as a gaudy handbag to show for it.

-After that we went to the gay diner and got waited on by a horribly mean-looking but ridiculously nice old lesbian who could probably kick anyone's ass and most likely could make a necklace out of all the people's teeth she's knocked out in her life. I liked her so much that I didn't even bother reporting to her that there was a hair in my salad.

-One of my dreams came true...I watched Frankenhooker, again. And this time was also with a gay man who appreciated it. One day I will watch this movie with a non-gay man who also appreciates it and then I will question his sexuality and then I will marry that man.

-I waited in the rain to catch a bus where of course the only person with this years version of the swine flu sat behind me sneezing and hacking.

-When I got home I finished off a giant bag of popcorn and went to the theatre to see a Euripides play called, Hecuba. Let me summarize this version of Hecuba: Lots of people dressed in black and swaying their hips speaking in unison and in a foreign language whenever the fuck they felt like it. Basically, Hecuba (former queen of Troy now a slave) has all of her children die, goes nuts with grief and then enacts her revenge by killing the children of a dude and having her fellow Trojan women blind the dude. For the big finish someone predicts that Hecuba's last living child will die. The end.

-My favorite part of Hecuba was when the Asian kid with the HORRIBLE haircut started to play differently shaped recorders. Though the tone of the play was tragic he was a comic relief and EVERY TIME he played I giggled.

So, that was my day (well, minus beard shopping, ice cream fetching, hitting on a movie store dude, and waiting in the rain) now, I am doing what I do best: watch Family Guy and Absolutely Fabulous and wish I had a snack or at least something to mix my booze with.

So, until next time...whenever the hell that may be.

Tip of the Day: The pita sandwich joint is open before noon.
