30 March
Yesterday was so beautiful. Spring fever hit me hard, I could barely get a thing done all day. Fortunately, The Raccoon was the same way, so we had a dreamy, non-productive kind of day.
Sunday I was supposed to do my taxes, but instead I went to the movies with Nik. What can I say, I'm an instant gratification kind of girl.
We went to see Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels which was great fun. It's one of those movies with multiple threads all converging and a big pile of money changing hands from one group to another.
It was either the most violent cheerful film that I have ever seen, or a wacky door slamming farce like What's Up Doc only with, well, marijuana and a big pile of corpses.
It didn't add up to much, but it was very good natured and made for a fun evening out. Virtues not to be sneezed at!
I never told you the story of my naked show, did I?
Well, first of all, the big secret was that the main naked characters were played by Cynthia and Fran, but I didn't want to mention that, because it would be too weird a thing. I mean, they wanted people to see the show, of course, but I thought that people would be coming from the wrong direction if it were like "You know those characters in my journal? Well, if you're in the NYC area, come see them naked!"
Anyway, here is the synopses that I wrote for Toni last night:
They try to sneak out, but she knows someone is there and guesses Sue, who must pretend that everything is normal. There is a crisis with an account, so the boss will not let her leave. At one point, another person (Dickson) comes in, and the Raymond and Sue pretend that they are having an ordinary business meeting so that he won't say "Why are you naked?" and blow the gaff. He exits, confused.
Raymond has been pretending all the while that he isn't there, but he tries to sneak out and the boss hears him and makes him join the meeting. At one point, she claps him on the shoulder, and they must pretend that he is wearing a sharkskin suit.
Finally she lets them leave "Ten minutes, you two, and not one second longer" and calls Dickson to come back in, and he enters naked, certain that he has done the right thing. Then the boss tells Raymond and Sue that they have to keep their clothes off, so she had known all along.
It was extremely funny. I think I'll recycle this in an entry."
My column is at an end. I think. It may be incorporated into a new site, but Planet Amazon is at an end, it looks like. I am sorry that my one year anniversary column didn't see the light of day, since it was a bitch to write and as long as your arm, but at least I don't have to make up an excuse for missing another deadline! A year is a good run online, I think.
Next time I write a column, I want to get paid, too.
Also, two more journals have bitten the dust, Jackie's and Dreama's! Is there something in the water? Everybody stop leaving!
Today's horoscope:
You are more prone to mood swings about finances today. Don't get caught up in extreme optimism or pessimism.
One year ago today:
And that's just what I'm gonad do from now on!
