yes, it's 2:44am and i just got home from the hospital... ugh... it was an average sunday night at work when, while i'm cleaning the food off of a plate before handing it over to the dishwasher, another server plops a spoon into the presoak pan (containing a chemical called "silver power")... as the spoon belly-flops its way into the pan, a tidal wave of this chemical comes rushing toward me, hitting the bulls-eye, er, um, my RIGHT eye... sudden fire... i washed my eye for about fifteen minutes in the kitchen sink and then am told by the managers that i better go to the hospital... they send me driving (with one fucking eye) to a clinic a few miles away, which just happened to close the moment i arrived... the mean lady at the clinic counter gave me directions to the nearest emergency room... only problem - they made absolutely no sense once i was back on the road... i ended up in zimbabwe or someplace near there and finally turned around and headed back to work... the manager there gave me what he called "fail-proof directions" and sent me (blind) back on my way... of course, i got lost two more times before finally getting REAL directions from a NURSE in the mcdonalds parking lot... over the next three hours, i was subjected to the following: anyway, so right now i'm typing with one eye and the other is barely awake... i hate waiting tables... just wanted to fill you in... oh, and they didn't give me an eye patch... i really wanted one...
WEDNESDAY | 09.15.04 | 1:08pm | um, hi... first off - i'm sorry it's been so long... i'm going insane and that's the only excuse i have... second - say hello to my new baby, damien: third - the follies show is killin' me... i'm in class every other day with these kids building props and set pieces... i've designed the costumes and am helping charlie chart out the dance numbers... all for three or four performances... i really must be nuts... again, the show opens on november 4th and runs for THREE WHOLE NIGHTS!!! if you want tickets (and it should really be a riot), don't worry about it... i can get you in for free!!! but seriously, i miss my friends and i do think that they should all come down to visit and see the show... of course, that will never happen, but a little hoping never did anybody any harm... (i'll beg if i need to)...
MONDAY | 09.27.04 | 2:44am | it BURNS...
damien is a girl, but in my world damien is also transgendered 'cause i prefer boy cats... right now heshe is pawing at my fingers as i type... perhaps heshe is into computers like hisher daddy...
edit: i'm gonna let her be a "she" but i'm changing the spelling of her name from damien to damienne... i can't give her the sort of complexes i had when i was growing up...
