Good God Almighty...
It just took me SO long to go through all the posts I've missed. And I was only gone for like 4 days. DUDE. Yeah, OK, anyways. Update time.
NY Trip
--Didn't get Brigadoon. Actually, got totally fucked there. It was an Eq. chorus call so they didn't HAVE to see non-eq. But they decided to herd all of us non-eqs in with the last eq group. Did a short ballet combination. I made it my bitch. I mean, seriously, danced RINGS around the other girls. And who did they keep? 3 of the eq girls. *nods* The politics of business sometimes is just...really annoying, ya know?
--Made some v. good connections, however. First, I took class w/Mark Santoro, who's a good friend of Vasthy's, and who choreographs a LOT for theatres around NYC. Introduced myself and schmoozed like crazy and he seemed to really like me and gushed that I need to come back and take class w/him again. Took class w/Peter Schabel, ballet dude at B'way Dance Center and he remembered me from when I took class w/him in AUGUST and gushed that I need to come back. Also met Vasthy's friend Kanita who's in talks to be the lead when Once on This Island comes to B'way next year. So YAY for connections.
--Got a really cute pair of jeans. They're Dollhouse brand and say "You are beautiful" on the inside of the waistband. Groovy, no?
Work was kickass today. Had smoking all to myself and we got ROLLED; I made about $85 in tips which is WICKED good for a Sunday lunch. Go me! Heheh, but there was 1 table I waited on for like an hour before I realized that it was 2 women and not a woman and her husband. *gigglesnort* Dude, this woman had a mustache and a bowl cut and was ordering Manhattans straight up. HELLO.
Am PRAYING I don't get the flu, as Dawn and Iris (Vasthy's roommates) both had it and she was starting to feel bad when I left.
Have # to reach David, my sister's ex, in London to see if I can work at one of his restaurants or bars. Cause he has like 3 or 4 in Manhattan. And apparently Kristen thinks he'll be cool about helping out her little sister because he's still totally smitten with her. Ah, us Miles women. We rule.
Went out w/Sa, Nicole, and 3 of Nicoles friends (the only name I remember is Hannah...my bad...) Tues. night before I left. Went to RiRa's, of course. Am sad cause Merrill, one of my fav. bartenders, is moving back home to Cleveland and his last night is the 27th. So I must go see him again before he leaves. Also, I asked Merrill if Alan (the adorable Irish bartender) was single and he said that he IS; he just broke up with some chick. And he's all "Why, are you interested?" And I'm all "Um..DUR. YES." And Merrill's all "Well, give it a whirl. I'll put in a good word for you." *squee* So, like I said, MUST go back to RiRa's. SOON.
Schoolchildren mount protest outside EC offices in Dublin
12:02 Friday December 19th 2003
Around 30 children have gathered outside the European Commission offices in Dublin to call for Irish to be recognised as an official EU language. Ireland is the only EU member state whose national tongue is not included in a list of 20 official languages due to be recognised by the EU in May. Campaigners have claimed this will leave Irish people at a disadvantage in the EU.
Petition here.

Which Teen Girls Squad Member are you?

LOL.
Oh dear, you are Bookish, aren't you? You are a
highly intelligent and witty bluestocking,
whose beauty is hidden behind spectacles. Your
dress sense is eccentric and a little
unfashionable, and you consider yourself plain.
You have very little use for men, who find your
knowledge of Shakespeare, interest in politics
and forthright speech formidable. You are
undoubtedly well-off. The only reason for your
presence in a novel of this kind (which, I
might add, you would not dream of reading,
although you have occasionally enjoyed the
works of Miss Austen), is your mother, who is
absolutely determined that you will make a good
marriage. Rather than defying her directly,
you are quietly subversive, dancing with anyone
who asks you, but making no attempt to hide
your intellectual interests. The only person
who can get past your facade is the man who is
witty enough to spar with you, and be amused at
your blatant attempts to scare your suitors
away. While you will, no doubt, subject him to
a gruelling cross-examination to find out
whether his respect for your intelligence is
real or mere flattery, you may be sure that he
is your match, and that you, he AND your mother
will all live happily ever after
