Half a bottle of chardonnay to go.

So did anyone actually fall for my April Fool's prank? I thought I was being hysterically funny. And for the record, I do have a sordid past, it's just not (as far as I know) documented on film.
Friday was busy with kung fu, wu wu girl's club, work and drinks with friends. Today was rather a loss. I got four hours of sleep, woke up early, slept all afternoon and now I'm home bored bored bored. A smart girl would have had her weekend choreographed with dates and outings but I was a little slow at getting my mojo together so I'm home with the cats eating pizza, drinking chardonnary and watchingy Black Adder II. Oh well, I supposed it could be worse.
Our kung fu film is going to be shown at the Hollywood theater tommorow afternoon during the short film expo from 12-3. In case you go: I filmed the apartment scene and I'm the one all dressed in black (my Matrix outfit) across the reservoir during the final fight scene.
I tried to sign up for an improv workshop this week but I just got an e-newsletter that says the workshop was full. I hope I got in! I love the instructor and feel the need to act goofy and make people laugh.

So out of the blue I get this e-mail from a guy I used to know at Evergreen State College. I haven�t talked to him since 1990 but he found me on the internet and sent me an e-mail to give me a �heads up� that there are some compromising pictures of me on the internet.
See, when I was at Evergreen my best friend/roommate was taking a film course and I being easily available, was her leading star. Her final project was a bizarre feminist drama where the man of my dreams beats me senseless with a rolled up Playboy magazine. Did I mention that I�m naked when he�s beating me? Probably not. Well, I was. Come on, I was in college, this was Evergreen! We were trying to be �edgy.�
So it seems that someone has found this film and taken some still shots and put them on a website for everyone to see. I�ve been trying to e-mail the administrator but I�m not getting a response. What the hell am I going to do? I really don�t want my family finding this stuff. If you�re curious the pictures are here. You might as well see them, apparently everyone else has. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

There seems to be a lot of list making going on in cyberspace today which got me thinking about my 100 Things post so I added a link on the left. It was written a couple of years ago but is still fairly accurate (except I weigh less now).

Kung fu class last night was a bunch of street fighting drills along with half an hour of aikido rolls. I woke up with my neck kind of jammed up, which tells me I was doing the drill wrong (ideally your head does not touch the ground) or I just slept on it funky. During the class my face got to know Debra�s knee intimately, but it was only fair as I cracked her in the ribs earlier.
Picture phone. Picture phone! Picture phone!!! Yep, I went out yesterday and paid an ungodly amount of money for a brand spanking new cellphone. I figure it�s worth the cost as this will act like my main phone line and I�ll have it for another five to seven years. Did I mention it takes pictures? Of course it�s not working yet. Something about transferring the info over to the new phone as I can�t swap out sim cards as my old phone is so freaking old. I want instant gratification, none of this wait a couple of days crap. I spent last night chasing down the cats and trying to get them to pose for pictures. Loki does not like the beeping noise the phone makes after it takes a picture. Trinity however was posing like a supermodel for me. Pictures as soon as my phone is activated�

I came to the realization that my cellphone is over five years old. It may even be six or seven years old. So I went online to my carrier and checked out some new plans and options. I�m thinking about getting a picture phone and upping my minutes to 300 per month. Not that I have a lot of friends that call me, but I could call my family for cheaper than my stupid AT&T long distance at home. Plus I�d be able to e-mail drunken pictures of myself to my friends. You guys would love that wouldn�t you? Anyone else have a picture phone? Any recommendations or comments?
On a completely unrelated note, I�m fed up with being a girl this week. Normally I�m pretty down with it. I�m good at being a girl. Really good. But this week it�s just too much for me. I cry at television shows, commercials and books. I�m overwhelmed with empathy for everything and everyone. I�m writing god awful angsty poetry. Musical lyrics all have incredibly deep meaningful messages for me. Everything that happens to me is some sort of mystical kismet. Ack. ~bangs head on desk~ Damn you hormones! ~shakes fist angrily at ovaries~ I want to go home, eat an entire pizza and go back to bed.

This weekend was fun. Friday night I put myself in self imposed exile to get some sleep and get some writing done on Saturday. I also washed a bunch of clothes, cleaned house and played with the cats. Saturday night was a birthday party for Rebecca. I drank most of a bottle of Vampire wine. (They make red vodka and Dracola as well!) Yum yum. It was a fun party with just the right amount of people for obnoxious conversation. I got to bed somewhere around three then had to get up at seven to be on set for the final scene of the kung fu movie.
We were filming at Mt. Tabor, without a permit and by the reservoir which was risky due to all the security issues with terrorism and whatnot. Plus all our fights were girl against guy so there�s always the fear that someone will not understand what we�re doing and jump into the fight. Paddy and I were sent across the reservoir to wait for our cue. At one point my car alarm went off. I successfully managed to turn it off from half a mile away by bouncing the remote signal off the reservoir. Physics. Cool. Then our cell phone went off, telling us that my alarm went off and it was Wally�s fault. (I was planning on blaming him anyway.)
When it finally came time for the final scene we were to fight continuously to the death for three minutes. We also had to make our moves huge and exaggerated as we were being filmed from far away. I think the people picnicking by us were a bit disappointed in our �fu. It was much more ugly street fighting than pretty Crouching Tiger choreography.
Spent the rest of Sunday snoozing on the couch with the cats. This week I swear I am going to get plenty of sleep and exercise and drink less booze. Mmmmm, alcohol. The cause and solution to all of life's problems.

Things I must remember at work:
*My official title is not Mistress of Darkness.
*The Xerox machine is not for copying body parts.
*It is not proper business conduct to put someone in a headlock even if they claim their kung fu is stronger than mine.
*Flashing a little leg to the tech guys will not get my computer upgraded.
*I shouldn�t refer to the V.P. as �Sparky.�
*Victoria�s Secret pantyhose is not a refundable business expense.
*There is no such thing as �Bring your cat to work day.�
*The three martini lunch is one thing the six tequila barf-o-rama is quite another.
*I cannot have a rubber stamp that says �Screw You.�
*Just because I work in the legal department doesn�t mean I can end all telephone conversations with �So sue me.�
*Exotic chair dancing is not an acceptable stress relief strategy.
*Just because the bathroom has good acoustics doesn�t mean I should bring in a karaoke machine.
