The Daily News
1 Wow. I made it through the entire day yesterday without getting any red envelopes. I'm mortified!
2 Just kidding! I had a wonderful day, went to Vivien's restaurant and enjoyed some wonderful food, hung out at Starbuck's waxing poetic with Jose, Sparks, Cam, and Ray, in celebration of Ray's NOT having gotten kicked out of school for disinterest. We listened to lots of Bob Dylan, and talked about everything and nothing. Sparky and Cam took lots of very artsy pictures. At times, it felt like we were in Berkeley during the turbulent 60's.
3 The fact that the place had five cops in there sipping it up and watching us out of the corners of their eyes lessened the fantasy just a touch. I mean, how do you plan the overthrow of the Man when the Man is tapping his foot to Dylan tunes, and is sitting two feet away?
4 I guess we'll have to figure that one some other time.
5 I kept practicing Chuc Mung Nam Moi all day, and then went to a Chinese restaurant later for some take-out. I tried it on the proprieters, but they looked at me like I had twelve heads.
6 I suck as an Asian.
7 The only thing I'm REALLY good at is taking my shoes off and getting them back on in one swoop. I'm an Asian poet with that one, I tellya.
8 I've secretly been practicing Jet Li moves on stage.
9 I think I'm actually quick and slick.
10 I REALLY think I look like William Hung trying to do Fred Astaire, or some such thing. But I seem to have a lot of people living in absolute fear.
11 Last night I plopped back down on the sofa and clicked on a little Am Idol. GREAT show! Somehow, that show is totally therapeutic to a Performing Arts teacher in the twilight. I just look, and see how often a lot of what goes on THERE reminds me of things I've literally seen HERE. Last night, I thought Paula and Simon were going to come to blows over one guy! They later let these three guys who vaguely resembled Moe, Larry, and Curly right on through. These guys fell all over one another, like pigs in a poke; it was hilarious.
12 Moe! Larry! CHEESE!!!
13 I'm rollin'.
14 Okay, I have the late-night coffee jitters, because I forgot that I had TWO venti lattes <are those things French, or Italian?>, and just had a cuppa coffee tonight.
15 I'm not used to coffee overdoses. I spent most of the day eating apples and gulping down diet sodas once again. Some of my students thought I was throwing down Coors bullets!
16 D00d! First off, I TOTALLY don't drink liquor of any sort. Second, if I DID, I'd have WAY better taste than a can of Coors. PUH-LEEZE! Wasn't that Hitler's beer? That stuff wouldn't have enough head to hit that little moustachio of his with even a hint of froth. It's like having an O'Doul's with an old penny in it.
17 Enough of that! That's just the coffee talkin'.
18 I just turned around and looked at the teeveee, and whatever show is on has a clown getting booked by some serious New York cop, because it doesn't matter WHAT city teevee cops are from, they always have New Yawk accents, tuff guys, yo. Right quick, yo.
19 Dis one's a REAL tuff guy. Yeah, if you couln't have huh, no one else could, eh? You didn't do nuttin', huh tuff guy?
20 I wonder what the clown did?
21 Who knows? I just know that NOT ONE of those cops at Starbuck's had a New York accent.
22 Okay, so if you SEE me tomorrow, it would be totally okay to give me a red envelope, however belated.
23 See ya soon!
24 Chuc Mung Nam Moi! : ) <----dorky sideways happy face guy who clearly just got a red envelope containing a Benjamin!!
25 Peace, yo.
