Daily Update

I got home shortly after 6pm last night. I had been asked to wait there by Eric. I think he was awaiting a secret message or delivery, and he couldn't be there. Someone was supposed to stop by our headquarters to visit, but it never happened. I did straighten up our lair maybe in hopes that I'd discover Jessica's missing cell phone, but also maybe to pass the time productively. I'm doing whatever I can to NOT start fighting another Battle of My Life. I have many other busy things to accomplish before that happens.

After laying in wait for more than 2 hours I almost exploded. I snapped and ran ( ok, it was a brisk walk) almost as fast as I could out of there. I dove into my car and then sped off into the distance. The distance ended up being JoAnn's Fabric store. I needed supplies for the stage design I was helping Lisa with. It only took me a few short moments to find what I was looking for, as I have been there enough to know a few things about it. As I was at the register I was almost startled as I approached the register. The ghastly lady behind the counter looked as if she had died three days ago. I tried to be friendly to her. After a few seconds I broke through her icy shell. She tried to joke with me, pointing out that 'I was the one sent in to get supplies', then cackled like a friendly Banshee would. I grabbed my stuff and ran out the door. Oh, and another thing. I was only getting a few small things, so I asked not to have a plastic bag for it all. I figure its the least I could do to help out the environment, so after she peels a bag off the stack I inform her of that plan. So she then, instead of putting the bag back on the stack she just throws it in the trash behind her! How wasteful. I would have said something to her about using it if it would be thrown away anyway, but she was the one with 5 pairs of very sharp scissors in her apron, and I wasn't.

After that I went to the Play Practice to set up the fabric. Its pretty time consuming. I later stopped by Jeff's place. He and josh were watching a movie. Beverly Hills Ninja. After 20 minutes of watching, I looked over at the other two and realized they were both asleep. Realizing my own lack of interest in finishing the movie I quickly asked myself what I was doing there. So I sneakily left.

Lunch was sponsored by Jamba Juice today. Lunch was hosted by Kristen too. While we were sitting in the ruggity chairs provided close by, I felt something hit the top of my head. As I slowly tilted my head up, I was preparing to run up to the second level of this outdoor venue, and throw handfuls of annoying little high school kids off the top deck into the street. As my eyes hit upward, I noticed a light post hanging over head, and a bird sitting on top of that. "Golly Gee Wizz" I thought to myself. I wasn't sure if I should, but I slowly raised my had to touch my head, to see what it was that had fallen into my head... OK, I'll wait until you all stop laughing before I continue... But it wasn't THAT at all. Whatever chunks of dirt/paint/junk, were on top of the light post had simply been knocked off and fell onto me. Wow, what a relief. I think Kristen started getting curious as to what I was doing when I moved my chair closer to her (away from the previous location), looked up, made angry faces, shook my fists at the stupid bird above me, and felt the top of my head, all at the same time. But then again, who wouldn't? Other than that Lunch was great. I ran into someone else I know on the way back to work. Small world here in Westwood.

I'm still listening to Harry Potter. He's causing loads of trouble this year. When will he ever behave? It would be much easier if he started being the bully instead of that blond brat.
