Two new least favorite words heard in New York City?
Unavoidable Delays.
In other news, I think I’m totally going to nail my audition for Sibyl II, Return of the Madness. As evidenced by the past few days, I think I’ve really become one with the character. Motivation found. I can’t wait to discuss it on Inside the Actor’s Studio some day.
I’m counting down the days until I get a paycheck. It’s been nearly a month since I’ve seen one of those, what with the week off and things taking their sweet time in accounting. Seriously, it’s not much comfort to walk around this grand city knowing you have exactly $4.64 to your name after UHaul and Ralph the Mover got done with you. Actually, it’s exactly four dollars right now. I bought a York Peppermint Patty. It couldn’t be helped.
Money doesn’t stress me out. But the lack of it sure does a doozy. And I only pull out the credit card for emergencies. Like, how I really needed a manicure yesterday. Really. It was an emergency. A well-timed manicure can be like the Jaws of Life to this really distressed gal.
Plus, getting my nails cut down does everyone a favor. In yesterday’s state of mind, it wasn’t completely out of the question for me to go claws out and really do some damage.
Repeat after me: I am not a harm to myself or others.
Yes– a well timed manicure IS like the Jaws of Life. You have survival genius.
I could repeat it, but I’m pretty sure everyone would see my heart wasn’t in it. ;-P
having ones nails done when the world is crazy is one of the best things in the world!
The Village Idiot has $1.25 Happy Hour drafts. Slices are $1.50. That leaves $1.25 = TWO MORE patties, maybe?
Agreed! A manicure is the next best thing to shock therapy when it comes to destressing.
PS: so sorry for the lost of your furry friend. I lost my kitty Oliver a few years ago in the same manner and I still think that I see him everywhere. Hang in there in the big city.
amen to that. i have a few more frivolties on the Emergencies Only! list… the husband (wisely) understands.
: ) I guess gas money is more of an emergency for me ; )
*or maybe more necessity..
Okay. So in love with your site. Mind if I link you?
Oh, McKenzie… there is no greater flattery
