Don't blog angry just blog

Right, so today I had an appointment and for those not in "the know" when I say appointment, I mean audition/callback. Lucky for me this was a callback, meaning that I did decently at an audition. Unlucky for me was that my callback did not go as well as I hoped it would go and now I'm drinkin whiskey. But this isn't going to turn into some kind of pathetic cry for validation of my talent, this is going to turn into a pathetic cry for my social skills. Or social skillz as some (me, my friends, 12 year old girls) might call it. 
In my defense, I had some disadvantages, 1. I'm new to Chicago and more specifically the theatre scene here. Almost everyone seemed to know each other. And 2. I'm me. I went to a liberal arts school where awkwardness rains supreme. I'm not saying it's was all schools fault but let's just say my school has a type and I most definitely fit into that certain (awkward) type. But c'mon! What am I to do? All the coolest kids at school were awkward, they just managed to channel their awkwardness into a mask of superiority and condescension or into alcoholism, both of which were not on my side.
While everyone was talking with friends they went to college with, or knew from prior theatre stuff or were just plain friendly, there I was, sitting with them completely silent. My only contribution would have been an off-color/slightly racist/completely inappropriate comment, which I kept to myself. 
So I did my thing, and was released a little earlier then everyone else (hence the whiskey) but all I can think about is my school what it has taught me and chips and mcdoz.
sweet sweet chips and mcdoz

PBR and Pride

Yesterday quarter-rican and I made new friends!!! OMG OMG OMG.
I mean, it was pretty exciting...I guess. Anyway, these new friends are also alum's from our over-priced liberal arts college in the middle of (sort of) nowhere. We had a very grown-up dinner party with Korean food, polite conversation, beer, Korean liquor, wine, and party games (scattagories!). Oh and our conversation took a turn for the awesome when we started talking about zombies! 

Today was the Chicago Pride Parade I went with ezaboo her mom and her boyfriend hotMess. It was actually really fun. Let me tell you, it was pretty G D gay. I think the highlight had to have been; dykes on bikes, Obama pride and of course the drag queens, soooo many drag queens. The four of us got a good spot, cracked open some PBR and watched the parade. 
Then we went to get some Ethiopian food. numnumnumnumnum.
I had a really delicious chicken dish and lentil dish and a soft cheese called Ib(?). 

Besides that, I went over to ezaboos and hotMess's house, because I have to take care of their cat while they are gone to a cabin in Minnesota? I wanna say Minnesota but it could easily be Wisconsin? I dunno one of those states that I never think about because sometimes I get them confused with cities because I my time spent at my over-priced liberal arts college, was focused on "problematizing known 'facts' and 'social-constructions'."

Oh! And be on the look-out for CHIP CLUB BLOG!

M.I.A cover band

Recently I read that M.I.A is not going to tour for a while.
;(
And I never had the chance to see her live. 
Double ;(
It's as if she is calling out to me to take over, to give the public what they deserve what they yearn for, a really shitty/embarrassing cover band.
quarter-rican and I were discussing our future band while we went out on the town with blueline. And by out on the town I mean to the bar that is less than a block away. But we did hear a mandolin being played...maybe he'll join the band too...
Damn today was hot too, it was one of those days where it feels like too
 much effort to do anything but watch tv, so that's what I did, I watched tv and then I went to a bar. What a big day!
I watched quality tv though, daria. That show was funny.
2 funny 4 wordz.
It brought me back to my childhood, back when mtv was still kinda cool b/c they were branching out from playing only music videos, representing those disenfranchised youth, you know, the ones that wore glasses. 
R.I.P M.T.V.
Speaking of R.I.P. I might end up working for the gap....yeah...the gap...
shit.
Also, another R.I.P. to being young and unmarried. 
My friend from home had his bachelor's party today, that I planned but could not attend b/c I am in Chicago and his in Ohio. 
That sucked. 
Yes he is getting married at 22. I'm actually really happy for him, it's just strange to think that he is going to be a married. 
Adults do that. Never mind that we graduated college, are living away from home (not just during school) and are looking for real j-o-bz, he's getting married and I have to give a speech and it's a dry wedding. 
Score! 
Maybe my cover band could play during the reception?

my love is defined

This goes out to lolc*ntz and all my fellow homez(homoz?)
and there is nothing wrong with MCDOZ and anybody who loves it.
As any honest and true American would love it.
This isn't a call to arms, rather a call to indulge in delicious food that is afforadable
that not even WWJB can ignore

keep blogging and keep on keepin it real

rebuttal (this is a "war" after all)

I have no idea why WWJB is being so aggresive!
Was he not the first to denounce the blogwarz that lolc*ntz so passionately started and that quarter-rican so cleverly advertised
And was it not our lord and friend to the homosexual, jesus christ that said to turn the other cheek? Through his writings, that is, or ummm through people that wrote stuff about him. I was never completely sure what the deal with that was.
The point being, I smell a false prophet!


meh, I guess I'll get along just fine anyway.
Nothing else really exciting has happened since the last time I blogged, like...3 hours...ago...;(
But the writer and hiker are coming tonight! I think we might even play CLUE!

happy pride month

British pride!

a compilation, if you will

Here are some pictures. I'm stealing, well i should say borrowing quarter-ricans blog idea. But she's only had one post so I feel well within my rights to do this.
