Really?... really.

Really?... really.

Hey ho, gorgeous people. it's just that sorta day.

Thank you everyone who has attended "Whistling Past the Graveyard" - - you rock you rock. Thank you so much! We have one performance left (tonight at 7:30 p.m., Lowry Lab Theater, St. Paul); it took me two weeks to figure out how to stand in a rubber masks in heels for three minutes without falling over. Yea Jim!

Yesterday was appropriately Halloween-filled. Work (where I attempted a "Boo-ology" version of one of the demonstrations, and sort of barfed all over the audience. Sorry, guys.) was followed by a trip to the Salvation Army on Dale and University, where there were two different people I knew. This doesn't happen at the Salvation Army in Minneapolis. We were all either shopping for Halloween costumes or filling time while our baby-mama slept. I have a mini-crush on that Salvation Army, for it:
- Provides familiar friendly peoples!
- Offered up a halloween costume
- Presented the opportunity to purchase a velvet jesus.

No, I'm not terribly religious, and no - - velvet painting kitsch is not exactly my particular brand of kitsch, but... it's so pretty. Jesus is doing a catwalk on water at night, and he's happy. He's smilin' at all the little fishies in the waves, taking notes for later. Where to hang this velvet jesus?! I'm hoping it will look cool and kitschy, and not crazy-lady-goes-to-the-salvation-army. ...It's probably a little of both.

My partner in crime and I attended a lovely party last night at the Nick-Katie-Matt household. There we met my other P.I.C.- - yea for good people!

I decided, given that I found a little thing of baby powder in the bathroom, to go as a coke-head for Halloween. (Classy!) The morning after, I have found that even if you pretend to be a coke-head, you best be ready to experience some of the after-effects of continually throwing white powdery substance at your nose. (sore throat, you smell like diapers) In other words: kids, don't do drugs. Even fake drugs. (although, now, I kinda wish that I went as a coke-head cheerleader... still trouble)

After the party, there was a trip through the Dinkytown McDonald's drive-in, which was googly amazing. Lots and lots for girls, between the ages of 18-21, dressed as sexy-cowgirl, sexy-dorothy, sexy-slutty-thingie, and freezing their bare and slightly sad little tucuses off. Saw a couple of sexy-bumblebees - - both looked cold and stressed and a little determined (probably the current state of most real bumblebees - - so - - very timely!). On the guy side, saw at least three "Dick in a box"es, which may have been timely about a year and a half ago (but I was dressed as a coke-head, and have no room to squabble). Also saw a couple of superheroes, two leprechauns, and one freshman in a very cool and simple and well done Link costume. Well played!

Today involves work, and then the last Whistling Past the Graveyard!!! YEAAA!!! And then Adorable goes up at Improv A Go Go! Please come! It will be a night of madness! Madness!!!

(Last Friday... Creature Feature was a blast. I can't stop from giggling if Butch and I are making 'make-out' faces at each other. I know it's been said before, but - - DAMN! Survivors of the Undead Plague had a awesome set. They made me cry, those bastards. Happy funny happy!... Don't you want to come see it all this coming Wednesday at 8 p.m.?! Creature Feature and Survivors!? Yes you do!!!)

It's sunshiney out. Onward.
