nervous chatter
my potential roomie di novita' will be arriving in about an hour. rand promised him chicken scallopini, then ducked out to richmond virginia today for a callback. (he has auditioned for an HBO movie about john adams- it's just a bit part, nothing career-launching, but the director just won a golden globe or something, so w00t for rand.) anyway, i have to meet lo sconosciuto da sola... all by myself! eep. i have prepared no food & have no intentions of doing so, b/c dude is the Food & Arts Editor... surely any attempt to cobble something together from a box or the freezer would offend his refined palate. i did, however, purchase una bottiglia di vino... (bonello, cabernet sauvignon primitivo, 2003). hopefully it's not crap. it is italian & i have faith in my chosen peoples, for they are known to mash up teh good grapes...
in other rand-related news, he told me (rather casually) that while he's in new york this weekend, he's supposed to interview "some artist... i dunno, Alex- Somebody". o_0 it's freakin' Alex Grey, an artist that i have appreciated for many years. recently i stumbled across his website on teh internets & spent hours there, mesmerized fangirl-style. look at me- am i green? sigh... rand has no idea...
nelle notizie di casa sottacqua... i think mother guppy #2 is not long for this world. she looks like she's got the ich. i hope it's part of the natural aging process but it kinda looks like fuzzy white patches on her... which sounds like the ich to me. ...everybody else is doing fine.
angelo is also doing well, in case you were wondering. he's out tonight w/ his friends & he really deserves un po' divertente, he's been studying so hard lately. he's been really sweet to me, saying all sorts of confusing things & i could agonize over the intended significance of it all... but i'm choosing instead to not to think about it. i'd really like to get to the place where we could talk about the ginormous elephant in the room... but i'm certainly not going to bring it up, io. i have, however, constructed my side of that conversation in italian, just so's i'm prepared & stuff.
ron, the potential roomie just called- he's going to be late. great... that gives me more time to rev up my social anxieties. anche se i can tell by his voice that he'll be cool...
y'know, it occurs to me that if i'd just let myself relax i wouldn't be half as crazy...
