| stop capitalizing random words. ALL OF YOU! just stop it! stop capitalizing Century and for the love of all that is holy stop capitalizing University. and while you're at it, stop putting periods after quotation marks. okay?
apparently there are worse writers out there than the people who work at the FSView. this is a true tragedy. | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |

I feel like this is the writer's block I have been waiting my whole life to answer! anyway. it would of course be a broadway themed dinner theatre type thing. there would be old style MGM dance performances on weekends with crazy swan costumes and rotating stages and chorus lines and whatnot. and on other nights we could screen old musicals, some more obscure and then to bring in the crowds, you know, although I am sure this would be a very popular spot, there would be wizard of oz and singin' in the rain. I would never show gigi or meet me in st louis, because they are creepy and boring. unless a wealthy benefactor decided to rent the place out for the night for the purpose of indulging his love for judy garland and then I guess I would be gracious about it.
for the most part I would veer away from noxious cutesy names for food and drink items but there would of course be a few I could not resist--margaritas would OF COURSE be rita hayworths, etc. there would be lots of posters and memorabilia and that sort of thing naturally.
the most important part of this restaurant, however, would be that it would not be in new york because that would be terrible. this would be out in the midwest somewhere. or just somewhere far away from new york, but not in the south. it just wouldn't make any sense there. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| | michael just left. i am in my new apartment and now everything is mine, just mine, nothing is "ours". this is the loneliest thing i can comprehend. if anybody has any funny stories or things to share i would love it. today is a really bad day. even my cat is mad at me because i have to keep giving him medicine. there is a lesson to learn in this about not liking things that are awful but ultimately good for you but right now i don't think i want to hear it. | | comments: 8 comments or Leave a comment |

| dc has been unbelievably amazing so far. yesterday's conference was so thought provoking and fresh and new, i have learned so much and i feel so energized. specifically there was a panel on covering urban issues in journalism that was so good and so informative i feel like i now have this exact roadmap to success. the day before that was amazing as well--hearing bill clinton speak would have been enough to make the trip all on its own. the health care panel and the conversation with john oliver was great as well.
today heidi and i are sightseeing at the national zoo (!) and the museum of natural history. we wanted to be totally lame and go to the newseum but for some reason that is like the only thing in dc that costs money to get into so we decided to forgo it. and we havent gotten lost on the metro once which i think if you know me you should probably be clapping right now. the past three days have been completely packed with new experiences. i am so excited to be here. this has been a wonderful trip. | | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment |
| | so i'm trying to find information about any vigils happening in tallahassee in remembrance of michael jackson. i have a strong feeling that they are there so I have been combing facebook, concert update sites and the comments section on the tallahassee democrat's article on his death to see if anyone had posted about vigils or commemorative concerts. that last one really left a bad taste in my mouth. so many people saying he deserved to die for what he had done and the world was better off without him. people are sick. they don't have even the faintest idea if he was guilty or what happened. also, he is dead, what the fuck is the matter with you? | | comments: Leave a comment |
| | michael and i are probably not moving in together. we've talked about it a lot and we both think it would be better. so he will be moving back to titusville. this feels just about as awful as i thought it would. yesterday when we came to a decision i felt so relieved because the pressure was off, but now i am about a million miles away from that feeling. i do not want him to go. no matter how much i tell myself it is the right decision it does not matter. | | comments: 5 comments or Leave a comment |
| last night michael and i rented a disc of law and order:svu from hollywood video and watched like five episodes. i was amazed but gratified that i did not have nightmares. it is really gruesome what people can do to other people for the sake of sexual gratification. sexuality is strange and scary sometimes, how powerful it is.
i am moving soon. i have to start packing. i am looking forward to leaving behind the clogged bath tub and dripping kitchen sink with only one water temperature--scalding--but i am not looking forward to the hassle of moving, or leaving my roommates :/ i will miss this house awfully. the years i have spent here have been the best of my life.
michael really wants a ferret in our new house. every time i tell him "no" my resistance wavers more. | | comments: 5 comments or Leave a comment |
