Got any D, man? Chirp, chirp!
there is also a yard-bunny.
oh! and i saw a mugging on the way home! yeah! so i came around a corner and glanced down the alley, and there was this one big bird with something in his mouth in the center of a circle of much smaller birds, fluttering excitedly, and when they saw me, all the small birds flew off in a big flock and the big bird started hopping up and down and chirping angrily. presumably yelling "and STAY out!"
i guess it was either that or i interrupted some kind of bird-drug-exchange. Big Bird may have been chirping angrily with me for scaring off his young, impressionable clientele. either way, it was kind of cute in that, you know, neighborhood-bird-crime type of way.
anyway, so i'm back on the porch and watching a bunny.
just wanted to say that after the rush off to work this morning, i sat outside and waited for an hour and 20 minutes for a manager to show up. no big thang - i finished Coyote Blue, and got paid for the inconvenience. :o)
and rehearsal got pushed back to 7:30. so i have time to take a breather and encourage the chest pains that i've been having for an hour to stop. (why does this happen??)
got a nasty message from the landlord the other day. it was actually kind of funny. (she has this weird old-lady accent that i can't quite place. it's stuffy and sniffy and walrus-y with elongated consonants. like a cross between richard nixon and julia child.)
Hahy, Casey, this is Sheri R--------- cawling. ::annoyed sigh:: Youw're renting [my address].
[Am I? Seriously? Wow. I wasn't sure, but thanks for informing me.]
::another annoyed sigh:: I'm cawling to tellll you to take the grillll off of youwr back powrch. ::nasty tone, extremely annoyed sigh::
[Uh, Sheri? We don't even have a grill.]
It's very dayngerous to grillll on the powrch. ::condescending tone, enough with the annoyed sighs - I get the point!!::
[No shit.]
If you wahnt to grillll, you have to do it in the yaahrd.
Thanks for the update, babe. Can I just say that even if we owned a grill, and were for some reason keeping it on the porch (a great idea in Chicago, by the way, keeping expensive things outside where everyone can see/steal them) I wouldn't have appreciated that message. Tiny as this apartment is, if we had a grill, who says we might not just be keeping it on the porch & taking it into the yard when we use it?
mkay. chest pains have subsided. think i need to go change (hot-hot-hot in chi-town) and head off to rehearsal. good times, great oldies.
i need a replacement for "exciting."
