Jane Austen never imagined this.

It's been a quiet weekend. I spent a couple of days battling a persistent migraine. I did get out of the house to go and see Bride and Predjudice. I've never seen a Bollywood film before but I really enjoyed all the singing and dancing. The humor was fantastic, very physical and over the top. I think the entire audience nearly wet itself during the scene on the beach with the gigantic gospel choir and the baywatch lifeguards. Good times. Good times. This afternoon I did a little house cleaning and burnt some CDs. I think now I'm going to do something outrageous like take a nap. Let's hear it for rainy lazy Sundays. *stretch*

I was a good girl and went to improv last night. However, no one notified my agent that the press was going to be there. Some lady from a mysterious local paper was furiously taking notes and snapping pictures. The camera came out a little too often when I was hamming it up on stage. My only hope is that my pasty white skin reflected all the light and overexposed the shots. All I could think about was 1) I�m not wearing any lipstick and B) My tights are covered in cat hair. Actually, I didn�t care that much. I was just having fun being a fool and jumping around. My favorite part of the night was playing a DJ and busting out a rap in gibberish. Hil-larious!

It took me a little over two hours to do my taxes tonight. I was feeling pretty good about myself until I did the damn Multnomah Country tax form and found that I owe a huge amount of money. I basically have to sign over my state refund to the county. It makes me want to scream. This is where I go from liberal democrat to angry libertarian. I hate the blasted county tax. Shakes fist angrily at everyone who voted for this ridiculous tax. I get none of the benefits of this stupid tax, yet have to foot the bill. It makes me want to pump out a bunch of children, quit work, drive drunk and start using heroin in order to jusify writing such a large check to the mayor. I paid for these services, by goddess, I'm going to use them.

On the upside, I'm trying to figure out what I can fivolously spend my federal tax refund on. Willamette Writer's convention with hotel stay? A weekend at Breitenbush? Spring clothes shopping at the outlet mall? I should do something sensible with it, like invest, remodel or landscape. But that's not very fun, is it?

I love you long time.

This morning I was blearily digging in my wallet for coffee money only to find that my wallet is jammed pack with one dollar bills. I don�t remember having much cash in my wallet, let alone more than twenty dollars in ones. I tried to think back to this weekend and could not recall spending money or getting change back. There is really only one reasonable explanation: I�ve been sleep stripping. I must be a pretty lousy stripper as well if I�m only getting one dollar tips. C�mon people, where�s the love? Give me a ten or a twenty and I love you long time, sailor.

Diaryland had a heart attack this weekend and was down off and on for a couple of days. Things are still a little wonky around here. This made me realize just how internet addicted I really am. I simply didn�t know what to do with myself � I had not stats to check or google hits to deconstruct, not to mention leaving witty notes to my d-land homies.

I took today off work to be a complete and total slacker and I must say it feels pretty good. On top of it all, I just got a big box from Amazon.com. It�s a strange mix of Victorian ghost stories, a manga vampire thriller and fiction - lovely lovely fiction. I�ve been pretty good at keeping my New Year�s resolution of reading more fiction and less literary research.

Last night was the first night I was able to successfully sleep with my wrist braces on. I went to bed with them on Saturday night only to wake up and find them under the covers with me. (I�m sure it was the cats that took them off in the middle of the night.) Speaking of cats, did you see the pictures of Loki with his head stuck in a bag?
