Y. Chagina. I stared at the letters long and hard making sure my gutter mind wasn't playing tricks on me, or that I was incorrectly lining up the apt. no. with the name, but no, my Dad's girlfriend's last name rhymes with Vagina. Send me back to therapy now, please. I didn't dare ask how it was pronounced. Damn dirty Russians.
Too bad I have to be one in the spring. Out of boredom and loneliness the other day, I agreed to meet Nick Lawson for some coffee, where he proceeded to creep me out, deflate my ego, and boast about datin 30 yr olds all in one.
Friday I saw a production of Midsummer at the studio with Jen in which Puck was a British lesbian punk rocker and Oberon wore leather pants and...leather pants. The lovers being upper east side snobs, it felt really disjointed like there were two plays within a play, not one.
After the show I got a call from Jason :D telling me to come out to Sam's bday party. I felt a need to see Baldwin people again, since it had been nearly a month since my last advventure out in Baldwin. I arrived about 1am to loads of drunk people and realized how much I miss Andrew, Caitlin, Trish, Christine, etc. etc. I had one of those long heartfelt drunken conversations with Sam which I don't think she remembered the next day. Actually, she walked into her bros room where I was sleeping the next morning and freaked out, so I'm pretty sure she didn't remember I was there at all. ::sigh:: theres only so much one can do, but I'm really going to try to keep in better touch. maybe it's not too late...
Went to a concert with the sis last night at the Downtown - They Might Be Giants, Common Rotation, and this really funny dude named Cornrow? (Cornwall?) playing the accordion who looked like Eomer from LOTR and reminds me of AVi. TMBG was awesome, but their set wasn't the best and by the end I was so dead and hot I wanted to pass out. I realized how sad it is I'm not going to Warped Tour this summer, a tradition for the past four years :( Family duties avail, and I'm obligated to be at my cousins grad party in Orient at my Uncle's new beach house. Hey, there's much worse alternatives, but I'll be missing Bad Religion, Coheed, Bouncing Souls, etc. But there's always next year...And I've decided that once I actually have money I MUST go to concerts. Since second I heard NIN is putting out a new album (featuring God, aka Dave Grohl) I've been ITCHING to see them on tour. No matter where I am or what I'm doing, I will find a way to worship Trent Reznor live!! If you didn't know already, one of my goals in life is to see NIN live- Fueled by one of my biggest regrets in life of turning down a free ticket to see them at MSG on The Fragile tour. I still vividly remember sitting in Cafeteria A with Ann Bermont after school, killing time before Streetcar rehearsal, when Mark Hardial comes up to ask if we wanted to see NIN that very night, for free. But being good actors, we decided rehearsal was more important....GRRRRRRR Still kicking myself for that one, if you couldn't tell
Speaking of Streetcar, I found out the most depressing bit of information from my sister. Rebecca Brody, after graduating from Syracuse NOT as a drama major, is now attending nursing school. Breaks my heart that someone so talented just gave up acting after high school. I still remember her talking to Nova and Fortuna about auditioning for a conservatory, but then for some reason she decided not to audition. And there's nothing wrong with being a nurse, but it's appalling to me that the most talented actress I've ever seen on stage (with the exception of maybe Fiona Shaw and Vanessa Redgrave) is now training to be a nurse.
Whoa, I just cant seem to stop with the Streetcar and the Punk Rock. I ran into Jeff Rosenstock at the Downtown after the show - and damn is he HOT!! Talking to him was fucking surreal, but I did get 5 big hugs out of it :D :D
And I'm tired of typing. Goodnite.
