So, because I am the best friend in the world, I dragged my ass out of bed in the middle of the night, practically, to help Cynthia take the dog to the vet.

They don't have a crate, you see, so there has to be someone in the car to hold the dog and it was either me or Fran. And it was me. I'm glad I went, too, because I got a really good vibe off the vet and the office and Elvis hasn't been seeming quite right for the past couple of months, he's been breathing kind of gaspily and he's lost weight and doesn't seem to be bathing so much, so I made an appointment to have him checked out.

After the vet, I went into the office to send out the checks that I didn't send out the day before because I wanted to go home and clutch my belly instead of FedExing things for hours on end (go figure), then I went to tape this video.

John, who was our Jabe in Orpheus, is directing this staged reading of a film script and there is this video that will be played in the middle of a party scene and it's about stock car racing or something.

I don't really do the whole improv thing so much, but I would do anything for John, not only because we need him for Moon For the Misbegotten, but because I like him very much. Also, those who are in the reading itself have all these rehearsals and so on, all this time taken up, I only had to improv about stock car racing for an hour and a half. Not too difficult.

You'd think. Except for the fact that I'm not that good at improv, don't know anything about stock car racing, and had no idea what was going on. But it was only for an hour and a half, and I did have fun watching Wende throw herself completely into Drunk Whore Girl. I whispered to Marie that I've seen Wende drunk many a time, and except for the falling off the bar stool, she was giving a pretty accurate impression of herself!

In the evening, I went to the theatre with Omar. I got free tickets to this show called Betty Rules that sounded interesting, though I didn't know much about it.

Well, it was wonderful! It's this show about a real rock group called Betty playing themselves and telling the story of their lives and the story of the group, and they play songs and re-live moments and it's hilarious and moving and the music is swell. I would have bought a cd if I hadn't been stone broke--once I get some money I must remember to go back, because they are amazing.

Come to New York, see Metamorphoses before it closes, and then see Betty Rules!

These aren't the best pictures in the world, but you can see a bit how handsome he looks with the beard.

Today's horoscope:
You'd rather talk than do. It's a perfect day if you can spend it with people who share your expectations and methods. Before you know it, a brisk walk turns into a leisurely stroll.

One year ago today:
I watched the Nationals, the men's short programme, and Matt Savoie just rocked my world.
