boring verging on the edge of obtrusive patheticness

that basically sums up my week in a whole - pretty lame.

i did go out on monday for some of the lovely kids graduating from emerson with their masters in business. and i do mean to call them kids considering the majority of them are younger than me and yet, sadly, about to lead much more exciting lives.

you don't believe me? par example - laura moving to germany to work for audi and mia's new job at warner bros. in L.A.

i know - the jobs are slightly sad, aren't they? losers.

i jest - i'm just bitter.

i'm pathetic and bitter.

anyhoo - i did have a lovely time. i got to talk about my two favorite subjects. broadway and sphincters. laura's brother received both topics quite well and had a few surprising experiences of his own to add. apparently he ended his personal embargo on cubans long before our own government will.

so that was my monday. since then i got nothing, nada. watched television, showered once.

oh - i almost forgot. i met barbara walters last night. i would like to jazz it up a bit but it was a book signing. i met julie andrews at one a month or so ago. very nice. i was by myself, we chatted, some would say a slight sexual tention even. and then we said our good-byes.

barbara was a little different. like a cattle call. before reaching her i had to give the book to someone else. they slide it in front of barbara. if you're lucky she looks up. i was one of the few who had the pleasure - the person in front of my forced her to show some type of personality and shook her hand. before i let her drop that old decripit skin sack of metacarpals i was all over it. i got a hand shake. she then starts to sign -

"i'm a big fan. been watching the view since the very first episode."

(without looking up) "that's nice. thank you."

she then slides the book to another handler who quickly picks it up, dropped it in my hands and pointed towards the door.

slightly bitchy but i understand. one, she's a living icon. secondly, she's a 78 year old woman forced to sign hunderd of copies of books. the reason i give her credit for this is broken down into two parts: a) she is a 78 year old woman - she's forced to sit there for hours not only trying to remember her name but hope she can still spell it correctly. b) really who forces this 78 year old woman to sit for hours - i hope they hooked her up to a cathedar and drainage bag to deal with incontinence.

god bless her.

so that brings me to today. got to sleep in till 6.55am! then me and tye went and had coffee in harvard. Peets coffee i believe. actually pretty good - i sat there and looked for things to do in the phoenix this weekend. they had nothing.

i came to work where it has been blah. going to take my last final tonight. then doing something i'm sure but equally as sure its going to suck (blah + suck = night with molly).

j to the k slash i n g

anyways - i'm sorry to disappoint my blog people but i must go.
