The Mighty Kymm-Sweet as a Biscuit-6 June 2000

6 June

So, Lee and Lissa and I had our rehearsal in the park. Did it rain? No, but it was grey and cold and really turned into not such a fun idea as we had all thought that it would be, so on Thursday, we're back in Weehawken.

I think that the show's going to be really good, though I showed my micro-managing colours a bit earlier in the rehearsal process than I usually do. I hope that I don't scare them.

What the hell is up with this weather, though? 90° on Thursday and Friday, rain Friday night, 70° and sunny Saturday and Sunday, then 60° and cloudy yesterday, raining yesterday night. It's supposed to pour all day today, and then be 80° this coming Friday. Then it will snow and twenty minutes later, the earth will burst into flame.

Lissa said that she heard that there will be no average temperature this month. Well, of course there will be, you can average out anything, but that it will constantly be going up and down and cold and hot and rain and sun and, and, and.

As long as you have a t-shirt and a sweater and a jacket and an umbrella and a tank top and boots and a hat and sunscreen and a raincoat and sandals with you at all times, you'll be fine.

I tend not to do surveys, but this one I can't resist, Aussie's Daintiness Quotient test, found in this entry of Columbine's.

How Dainty are You?

1. After you finish your cereal, do you drink the milk?

I don't drink milk on my cereal, but if the question is "do you put your little pink tongue to your dishes in order to get every last magical drop" I'd have to go with a big ol' YES.

2. Would it bother you if you took the sheets off your hotel bed and saw telltale stains upon the mattress?

What kind of lunatic would take the sheets off a hotel bed? But NO, it wouldn't bug me.

3. Would you take aspirin for a headache?

Aleve, not aspirin, but that counts as YES.

4. Do you break out a new roll of toilet paper when there's only about a 1/4" wide layer of white on the roll?

No, because if I am running out of paper I usually don't have a spare roll. Why, I don't know, because it's not as though I don't know that I'll be needing toilet paper kind of every day of my life, but I love riding that ragged edge of disaster, baby. But even if I had a roll, it'd still be NO.

5. Do you use the last couple squares of toilet paper that are glued to the cardboard tube?

See above re not having more, so you bet I do, YES.

6. Do you ever drink the very last cup of coffee in the pot?

I don't drink coffee, and I can't really transpose this question to something that I have experienced. I can't imagine throwing out something perfectly good, though, so I'll go with YES.

7. Have you ever dropped a piece of food and then picked it up and eaten it?

YES. Even if it's covered in cat hair. I'm gross, I know.

8. If a public restroom has those paper toilet seat covers, do you use them?

Lord NO.

9. If a public restroom doesn't have those paper toilet seat covers, do you try to devise your own?

Snort. NO.

10. Does it bother you that some stranger lived in your apartment before you?

Again, what lunatic would find that bothersome? I only don't like that the woman who lived in my apartment before me was so damn short, because this apartment is built on such a small scale. NO.

11. Do they give you enough paper napkins at the fast food joints?

YES, as I usually wipe my fingers on my jeans. It's fast food, gimme a break.

12. Do you prefer your plastic spoon to be wrapped in plastic?

Couldn't care less, NO.

13. Do you prefer to buy "chicken tenders" rather than chicken with bones?

Um, I love McNuggets, but I also love drumsticks, so I really can't answer this easily. I don't mind bones one bit, but I tend to eat more boneless, so I'll go with YES.

14. Do you actually like condoms?

Not applicable, but as I recall back when I used to have sex, not much, NO.

15. Do you like french kissing?

YES, YES, YES, I dig it the most! Not that I ever get to, but I love it.

To score, start with 100 points and add or subtract as shown:

1. Cereal milk. NO (you don't drink it) gives +10.
2. Hotel Mattresses alarm. YES (it bothers you) gets +10. NO gets -10.
3. Aspirin. YES (you take it) gets -10.
4. Reluctance to use the last 1/4" TP. YES (you break out a new roll) gets +20.
5. The glued on squares. YES (you use them) scores -20.
6. Last cuppa coffee. NO (don't drink it) scores +10.
7. Floor food. YES (you've eaten it) scores -15
8. Toilet seat covers. YES (you use them) gets +10. NO gets -10.
9. Homemade toilet seat covers. YES (you make them) scores +30.
10. Lived-in apartment. YES (it bothers you) scores +20.
11. Paper napkins. YES (they give you enough) scores -10.
12. Plastic-wrapped plastic spoon. YES (you prefer it) scores +10.
13. Chicken tenders. NO (you don't prefer tenders) scores -15.
14. Condoms. YES (you actually like them) gets you +20.
15. Frenching. NO (you don't like it) gets you +15.

I got a 25. I am so totally not dainty, I shouldn't even be allowed to be a girl! If you take it, send the results to Aussie.

And why not talk about it on the forum?

While you're at it, we're still talking about the Tonys, geeks that we are, things we do better than you, and the movie question just refuses to die.

Watching the Tonight Show last night, I wondered if Freddie Prinze Jr. thinks that we don't know that he's been pre-interviewed and knows everything that Jay is going to ask him, because he's making such a huge big deal about being shocked and embarrassed about every single question, he's practically doing backflips like a chimp.

Talk about protesting too much. If this is the level of his acting ability, I ain't overly impressed.

Yay! Lucy's back! Double yay, Jessie's back! I'm so happy, I'd better make them both Journal of the Week! I'm all exclamation point-ed out.
