RANTING THREAD →[More:] I HATE THIS SHOW I'M IN - IT SUCKS, THE THEATER IS PLAGUED WITH MOSQUITOES, AND MY COSTUME DOESN'T FIT AND IS INCOMPLETE!

I GOT REAMED BY MY DIRECTOR IN FRONT OF THE ENTIRE CAST YESTERDAY AFTER A FOUR-HOUR REHEARSAL AND MY PARTNERS ON STAGE DON'T KNOW THEIR BLOCKING!

SEATTLE MECHAS: DO NOT GO TO THIS SHOW, IT WILL BREAK YOUR HEART - WAIT TO SEE ME IN SOMETHING WORTH BOTHERING ABOUT! THIS IS THE WORST SHOW I'LL EVER BE A PART OF!

IT IS TOO HOT HERE AND THE MAN WHO LIVES IN THE FLAT UPSTAIRS HAS AN AIR CONDITIONING THING WITH A BIG FAT HOSE THAT VENTS OUT OF THE WINDOW AND THE AIR THAT COMES OUT OF IT STINKS LIKE BURNED AIR. SO I CANNOT SIT IN THE SHADE ON MY PATIO BECAUSE I GET HIS STINKY VENTED AIR BLOWING DOWN ON ME.

IT IS TO USE UP ALL THE EXTRA POWER GENERATED IN SUMMER. AC'S HAVE TO BE CRANKED ALL THE WAY UP, OTHERWISE THE POWERGRID WILL BECOME FLOODED WITH EXCESS POWER AND TOASTERS WOULD START EXPLODING (TOASTERS ARE THE COAL-MINE-CANARIES OF THE APPLIANCE WORLD)

THERE, OR AT ANGEL'S SHARE, OR IN THE CAB. UGGGHHHH! LEAST MY WALLET AND KEYS WERE IN MY PANTS' POCKETS. AND JON HAD THE CAMERA. COULD BE WORSE. I'M NOT MEANT TO CARRY A PURSE. I ALWAYS LOSE THE BLASTED THINGS.

WHEN EVER I HEAR THE WORDS "CHELSEA HOTEL," I THINK OF JIM CARROLL AND HIS GIRLFRIEND RACING VENEREAL CRABS ACROSS A KITCHEN TABLE.

i'm so distraught i can't even shout.

i went to ikea this weekend to buy cheap sheets to cover up my pitifully cat-shredded furniture. i was very excited. but i came home with fitted sheets instead of flat sheets because ikea's packaging uses pictograms instead of actual words, and i swear to god the fitted sheet iconography looks like a sled, not a sheet, so i didn't really know what i was getting.

so i took the sheets back, stood in the returns line for 30 minutes just to tell the guy that i had picked up the wrong sheets. he laughed at me and said "heh, and how long have you been standing in line for that?"

after all that, i came home last night and artfully, painstakingly arranged the sheets over the furntiture. it was a pretty big pain in the ass, espcially the couch, because it took three sheets and lots of folding and tucking and suck, and i'm not good at that stuff. it took me the whole first half of the mavericks/heat game.

but it was such an improvement! the sheets transformed the living room from a white trash pigsty into a slightly messy bachelorette pad. made me very happy!

i get up this morning, and one of the cats had puked all over the sheets.

I loved an interview I once read with him in which he said he had no idea why he was so mean in writing that song.

On topic: I'M HUNGRY AND I WANT TO ORDER A PIZZA BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TIME THEY'RE GOING TO CALL FOR THE CONFERENCE CALL THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO START 40 MINUTES AGO AND IT'S EXTREEEEMELY ANNOYING.

WHEN YOU GO TO GET GAS, IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR YOU TO PULL THROUGH TO THE FIRST PUMP? IS THIS A FOREIGN CONCEPT? PULL THE EFF THROUGH, PEOPLE! IT MAKES LIFE EASIER FOR EVERYONE!
