Absolutely Not Your Monkey

For some strange reason, yesterday felt like Sunda…

For some strange reason, yesterday felt like Sunday. My guess is that this is due to the depressing combination of hot ‘n muggy with gray ‘n misty. I kept thinking, gee, if only I didn’t have to go to work tomorrow…hang on, I don’t! And then after a couple of minutes I’d feel depressed again. I was able to recover my Saturday mood by watching The Blues Brothers, which one of my favorite movies, even if it was only on an inherently crappy VCD. This movie has everything I want in a film: awesome car chases, including a Pinto(!), great music, witty reparte, stupid jokes, Carrie Fisher with a rocket launcher, and a sexy guy to look at throughout the film. Before you jump to the wrong conclusions about any attraction on my part to either Jim Belushi or Dan Akroyd, I am referring to Matt “Guitar” Murphy. Damn that man was fine-looking back in 1980…I can see why Aretha Franklin, who played his woman in the film, was so willing to so into a song and dance number about keeping him around.

My windows are closing by themselves again. Damn, but this is annoying! Does anyone know why I have to re-click on this window every few seconds to bring it back “to life”? Let me know if you do. No other windows are coming up, this one just ‘deactivates’ itself, for some strange reason, causing me to have to click on it to begin writing again.

Last night on my way home I walked through the park that I live next to. I have heard that certain parts of it become ‘cruising’ zones after dark, and so I walked over to that area of the park. I was just walking along a path when suddenly the atmosphere changed. It was filled with that air of nervous expectation that heralds one’s arrival in a cruising area. Suddenly I noticed a handful of guys sitting or standing nearby, looking conspicuously non chalant. Yup, this was definitely a cruising zone. I’m not usually into cruising in places like that, though. I’d rather get to know a guy first. I must be getting old. Still, it’s useful information to know something like that about the park one lives right next to.

Speaking of useful information, it’s now 12:00 and I have to be at rehearsal! I think we’re going to try to get through the whole play today, a mere week before opening night…gotta be careful, though; last time I nearly caught the flu from Henry VIII.
