Google me...

...it's worth it:


"Just then there was another rustle on the stair and another step, - this time a lighter one, - and the next moment appeared what was to the young man a vision.

Keith's face, as he rose to greet her, showed what he thought. For a moment, at least, the dragon had disappeared, and he stood in the presence only of Alice Yorke.

The girl was, indeed, as she paused for a moment just in the wide doorway under its silken hangings, - the minx! how was he to know that she knew how effective the position was? - a picture to fill a young man's eye and flood his face with light, and even to make an old man's eye grow young again. The time that had passed had added to the charm of both face and figure; and, arrayed in her daintiest toilet of blue and white, Alice Yorke was radiant enough to have smitten a much harder heart than that which was at the moment thumping in Keith's breast and looking forth from his eager eyes. The pause in the doorway gave just time for the picture to be impressed forever in Keith's mind.

Her eyes were sparkling, and her lips parted with a smile of pleased surprise.

"How do you do?" She came forward with outstretched arm and a cordial greeting.

Mrs. Yorke could not repress a mother's pride at seeing the impression that her daughter's appearance had made."

Breakfast

I went grocery shopping the other night at 10.30 and, when picking out cereal, had the overwhelming urge to buy peanut butter Cap'n Crunch. But Associated didn't come through for me on that score. So I got the new flavor of Special K--cinnamon pecan. I love pecans. I finished the rest of my shopping, then stared at the cereal wall for a while longer and debated getting Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but decided against it. The next morning I poured myself a bowl of new Special K, and guess what?!?!? It tastes like C.T.C!!! How crazy!

That same trip I overheard a woman who must have been actor talking on the phone about plays. When she was done, I overheard her as she was starting at the yogurt wall, thinking she was all alone, sing "You don't have my yogurt...."

That is all. For now.

Hm...

You know it's been too long when you have a dream about washing your hair.

I just saw a roach running around in the bathroom. Oh my god that was shocking and disgusting. If that thing gets in my room, I will cut a bitch, to use the old familiar phrase.

Holy crap, whoa

"Uncommon Women" Week is running away with itself.

So far we have five professors signed up to give panels. We are sort of talking with the higher-ups of the Women's Project, a theatre company. Anne Cattaneo, the dramaturg for Lincoln Center and the original dramaturg for "Uncommon Women and Others" is coming to speak with us.

I just got two e-mails, one from Katie Carter saying that one of the chief editors of BITCH magazine wants to speak, and one from Mary Fleischer saying that Alexis Greene, a theatre critic, is also interested in coming.

Holy crap.

I also am presenting my Camille stuff at Honor's Day and just got a refund check for $11.25 all of which is going to laundry. Man, my life.

S.I.S.T.

It's too bad that the acronym for "Stuff I Saw Today" sounds and looks so much like the word "cyst." Oh well.

Only two today, but I think they're pretty good:

1. Two girls and a dog in a red pick-up truck stopped at a light on 3rd avenue rocking out to Tiffany's "I Think We're Alone Now"

2. A lump of coal on 42nd Street

Stuff I Saw Yesterday:

1. A man changing his dog's diaper on the street

2. A woman carrying her laundry, she was barefoot and had obviously just gotten (and ruined) a pedicure

3. A lighter fall out of my towel that I removed from the dryer, I think it had materialized in the wash

2/18/2008:
More stuff:

1. A North Carolina vanity plate that read "Homies2"

2. A man showing off to a woman by talking about "The Philadelphia Story" except that he called it "The Philadelphia Society" and then corrected himself by calling it "Philadelphia"

3. A guy wearing sweats and a bright red bowler hat with a feather in it.

4. A teacher from Marymount
