Things at the apartment are going pretty well. Kevin and I are getting along great, though we're both discovering little quirks about each other that we both find surprising. He's a recluse at home, and I'm neurotic. Surprise surprise, right? Kevin told me on my second day that Jerry, the guy we had lined up to take Kamil's slot, flaked out and we ( Read more... )

Today was my last shift at the Colchester Blockbuster. It was a little overwhelming know that, this time, I really won't be coming back. At our store we have a white board for Employee Picks, and next to each person's name there's a little message explaining what this person does for the store. "Store Manager," "Shift Leader," "I'm New!" and so on ( Read more... )

Denise arrived in Florida, whole and safe, Sunday night. She made great time, didn't run into any trouble along the way, and despite some drama on Friday - I may or may not go into it at a later post - things went smoothly. Her rehearsals started today. She promises to check her email and voicemail often, so send her a line. I'm sure she'll get ( Read more... )

Getting better every day! Sorry for the random Mama Cass, but it defines my last few days. We have officially replaced Kamil in the apartment. Thanks to Kevin's stellar Social Skill (he's got a +8 modifier!!!) we've met someone via gay.com who was looking for a place in Manchester that's less than $1100 a month. He was willing to pay that on his ( Read more... )

I don't know if I have a place in the apartment right now. I'm not sure any of us do. Things went sour between Kevin and Kamil quickly, and dramatically. Kamil was in two car accidents in the last two days, and he was MIA for several hours yesterday and is no longer welcome in my life, or Kevin's. Kevin is staying in Colchester for the time being, ( Read more... )

Even for those of you who are doubter, you would do well to watch this. 3:03 minutes of some of the most beautiful music, and staging, I have ever seen in a theatrical production. Wow, this needs to come to Broadway NOW!

I have a random question for those of you who were at the CT Ren Faire, which is to say most of you. I met someone from who worked at Stone Soup named Jeff... he was a volunteer in an orange vest, fairly tall and very skinny with curly hair. I know he worked a a ton of booths every day. I never got his last name or phone number, and am kicking ( Read more... )
