Well, it’s Friday night and I am home watching tv. I had planned to spend the evening since getting off work at 5:00 doing homework, or cleaning the house, or something equally productive/societally acceptable. Instead I have:

1. gotten my eyebrows waxed (good!)
2. showered (very good!)
3. watched some tv (meh)
4. gotten the chicken strips meal from Popeye’s (VERY NOT GOOD)

I just saw Stacy London on a Macy’s commercial. I will be so happy if she becomes a big star. I love What Not To Wear and I love her and Clinton Kelly together. Especially Stacy – her hair is so glossy and lovely.

I think the mouse is gone. I made the landlord come in and plaster in all the holes around the pipes underneath the kitchen sink, so I can’t think of any other way things will get in. I had to do my three-peanut drawing using just the one peanut it had left behind. Oddly, the one it left was one of those crappy, mini-sausage-shaped peanuts, not one of the ones with two distinct nuts inside – of course, the boring one to draw. So I actually had to google “peanut image” and do the drawing while staring at tiny computer screen peanuts. A sad moment in my life.

Oh, the gallery where I am interning is showing three of my paintings! It is a proud time for me. I’ll be on the website and everything. Also, they did the nicest thing. The other day, I was admiring a pair of earrings and I said, “Dan, don’t sell these to anyone, okay? I’m going to buy them when I have some extra money.” And Dan, the manager, was like, uh okay. But then the next time I came in to work, he had made me a present, with a big ole fancy bow and a thank-you card and inside were the earrings I loved! So nice. I guess I am not working for free after all then. I am working for sparkly things!

Tomorrow morning I am going to Rosh Hashana services. I haven’t been to temple in a few years. I hope I remember the words to all the songs. It’s so embarassing, being exposed as the bad jew I am. I have jewish guilt, about being not-so-jewish. Ironic.
