A rundown

Oops, haven't written anything for a couple of weeks. Here's a basic list of some stuff I've been up to, in mostly-chronological order courtesy of my too-detailed daily log:

--volunteered at a nursing home and a soup kitchen

--attended two BBQs in one day

--read a college nostalgia book called COMMENCEMENT (recommended esp if you went to Barnard or a Seven Sisters school)

--had about 11 bizarro dreams

--dress rehearsal/tech/opening and first two performances of a show I produced (went so well)

--hosted my dear friend at my apartment for four nights and had a blast

--got my first pedicure of the summer

--was asked by a respected theatre producer to do a freelance event which was fun and paid!

--attended the Barnard reunion: reconnected with great people; drank a few glasses of wine and ran for class president (a five minute commitment that will yield a lifetime of jokes at my expense, I hope); danced the night away on a boat (the Intrepid), yielding some terrible foot blisters which were all worth it to see my friends dance in sailor hats and make up songs about being on a boat; "bridged the sisterhood gap" by speaking candidly with members of the Barnard class of 1955 (a real treat); lounged on the lawn; drank my first-ever bubble tea; had one of the most enlightening discussions about feminism ever discussed while getting trashed at the Heights; and danced like a sweaty maniac on the Columbia Steps (though I didn't jump in the penis fountains like SOME people.....). A wonderful weekend!

--read Sarah Silverman's hilarious memoir THE BEDWETTER (recommended)

--met up with some MJ fans and discussed a charity event we are planning

--had a picnic lunch with one of my favorite ex-co-workers

So all in all, pretty good stuff! Besides the hangovers, nothing to complain about. Everything's coming up Neener!
