Yesterday, there was a huge backup in the subway tunnel. The workers somewhere between Bloor and Eglington caused some sort of issue, I believe they punched a holei n the ground or something. So that section of the train line was shit down. It made me late for rehearsal, but luckily I switch lines at Bloor, so I got off just before the problem. We did stop in the tunnel a few times though. Again, I was lucky because my boss Donna heard the announcement on the streetcar and understood. Too bad it screwed up so many people's day. The images on TV of everyone walking is insane. Apparently everyone was pissed because they had to walk 2 blocks, or they had to wait for a shuttle bus, which they say you had to wait for for over an hour. And cabs were gouging people, demanding $20 for 2 blocks. My thoughts? Its 2 blocks!!! Walk, you lazy asses! Its not like it wasn't a nice day or something. It was a beautiful Canadian November day. I didn't even have to wear a coat, my new sweat shirt was perfectly acceptable. And I'm one of those people who despises the cold, so if I was fine they would be too. This is why people in the country say that city people are spoiled. In this case I'm inclined to agree.

Went to the eye doctor today, finally getting my awesome new contact lens brand. The ones that sit best on my eyes. Not much else happened today. Me and Mom drove by Kristen's new place, it looked okay. I personally wouldn't want to get an attached house. If I have to live that close to someone, I'll take a reasonably priced apartment instead. I guarantee that she'll be trying to sell it in a year or so.

Loving the new Flyleaf CD, but there aren't enough screams on it. They went much more mainstream on Memento Mori. The live Epica album is ok. Still waiting on The Phantom Agony from Amazon. Amazon is beginning to get on my nerves. I am seeing a real decline in the quality of their service. Everything is late. But here is a hint. I've been complaining about it, saying I'm paying for shipping and you aren't holding up your end of the bargain, and they sometimes give me a discount. I may have to do that again with this item.

No plans for tomorrow night, but mani/pedi with Christina on Saturday.

Shopping With Laura

I spent waaaaayyy too much today. But it was fun. I got Memento Mori from Flyleaf, and the Slassical Conspiracy from Epica. I also got the new Star Trek movie (I still swear I'm not a Trekkie) 2 bras, 2 shirts one sweater and one sweatshirt. I also finally got my passport photo done, so I can finish my paperwork and finally get that. Then I can put it on my resume. That is definitely something good to have on a stage management resume. Or any theatre/tech resume.

Rehearsal tomorrow. Donna sent me my Camp Rock script, and she'll give me the cd of songs tomorrow.

Picking Up

So this weekend I actually remembered to make plans... and everyone cancelled on me. Ihad one of those moments where I felt like my life was shit, because I never see my friends, I have no job, no boyfriend, and I've been living at home.

I really need to work on fixing my life. I can't find work, no bf leads, and with no job I can't move out though.

On the other hand, I'm supposed to go shopping with Laura tomorrow, and get a manicure with Christina on the weekend. Not really my thing, but still sounds like fun.

Now I just need to get the FUCK out of this house.

Camp Rock!

Working with these kids is kind of silly. The older kids are very enthusiastic, but the younger ones have no attention spans, and they need to be reprimanded often. I never really cared for kids at that age. I really did enjoy working with the girls whoa ctually studied theirlines, and who have great ideas about what they want to do onstage.

The show will be more of a workshop. The set and the costumes will be minimal (basically, nonexistent) and I'm sure most won't even know their lines, but its something new to do while I'm looking for a new job. Plus I think its hilarious that I will have Camp Rock on my resume.

Getting Out Of The House!

Even if its only one day a week.

Volunteering to help out at a Camp Rock workshop at a public school. It could potentially lead to more work. Only one day a week, which is nice.

Its The Weekend!

My first weekend not working in a long time. I literally forgot to make plans.

Feeling Gross

Still sick, but I refuse to take off my lasdt day from work. I missed Friday and Saturday. I missed Halloween when working on a Halloween show! So I am not missing tonight.

Thursday I spent the day at the hospital. They didn't think I was as bad as the walk in doctor thought I was. But they used magic or something to get my fever down. Their Tylenol is seemingly better than mine.
Tuesday, I was running a huge fever and had to babysit Cameron, my sister's boyfriend's kid. Kids have too much energy when I feel well, so you can imagine how it went. We played with my old Lego. I wanted to watch a quiet movie, but that did not work out.
