Funny thoughts.
1. My new thing for 2008: Week Two took place on Sunday. I auditioned for the Vagina Monologues. Unlike almost all of the other women auditioning, I did not read the monologue about dildos. Sixty-five women tried out for only fifteen parts. I did well, and made people laugh and smile, but I was not cast. I'm trying to decide if I will be bitter or volunteer anyway.
Auditioning reminded me that I really am pretty entertaining. I seem to have a knack for the dramatic, and we all know that I love attention.
2. I don't think I have read a book for the sheer enjoyment of reading a book since my honeymoon, which was eight months ago. I'm pretty embarassed.
3. The climate control system in my office has been broken for quite some time. It is programmed to cool my office down to 62 degrees in the morning, and warm it to 79 in the afternoon, and no one can fix it.
3-1. Since turning 26, I've been on a mission to dress more professionally. I think I'm having some sort of yuppified quarter-life crisis. This probably adds to my discomfort in the office, as grown-up clothes seem to be a little stifling, regardless of temperature.
3-2. My yuppification is also characterized by my new obsession with acrylic nails, my new hairstyle that actually requires product and tools, the fact that people who didn't know what to give me for the holidays/birthday all gave me Starbucks giftcards, my dry cleaning bill is almost as much as my grocery bill, and I listen to indie music on my XM radio.
4. The personal trainer that I see weekly (it's so much easier if I just refer to him as "my trainer," but damn if that doesn't sound douche-y) is a total dude. He likes to make sure that all of the big gym guys are aware that I am stronger than they are. He also really likes to use the word "blast."
5. I've almost lost all of my post-wedding weight. This is awesome, except that all of my pants are either saggy in the butt, or too tight to wear to work.
6. Yesterday I wore tights made from bamboo. They felt awesome, but they got really saggy. I told M that it looked like I had elephan-tight-is. That's humor.
