Bulimia in the Animal Kingdom

After the 2nd movie flopped, Alvin continues to struggle with bulimia, hoarding, and compulsive eating. Simon and Theodore were unavailable to comment, but Dave had this to say: "I love Alvin very dearly, and have tried many times to intervene with his sunflower seed problem, but in the interest of my sanity and out of respect to our fans, I am disbanding Alvin and the Chipmunks until further notice."

I feel like this is a portrait of me. I have the same moon face, and I often feel like I'm floating in darkness, quietly powerful, when I am most at peace with myself. Beautiful when there is no one there to observe, criticize, evaluate. Just something that exists and glows, whether anyone notices or not.

A Blind Aye--Futility Closet repost

A Blind Aye: "

Rep. Tom Moore was dismayed at how often his colleagues in the Texas House of Representatives passed bills without understanding them. So in April 1971 he sponsored a resolution honoring Albert de Salvo:

This compassionate gentleman’s dedication and devotion to his work has enabled the weak and the lonely throughout the nation to achieve and maintain a new degree of concern for their future. He has been officially recognized by the state of Massachusetts for his noted activities and unconventional techniques involving population control and applied psychology.

That’s true as far as it goes — Albert de Salvo is the Boston Strangler.

The measure passed unanimously.

Discrimination against minorities

Back when virgins still existed.

Actually I think the term "virgin" is bogus. There is no medical definition for it, for one thing. And what about gay people who will never have penis in vagina sex? Or the girl who gave birth via c-section, but was born without a vagina? Is she a virgin?

I'm not making this up, see:

Virgin birth?

I don't think so.

patient is an anonymous procrasinator

Dr Frog was wondering how the patient would handle her first Monday night off from the play in a while. She seems please that obligation to perform actual adult chores such as washing dishes or mopping is postponed by the fact that she will have to work until 9pm.

The patient shows a disproportionate relief from having to perform a task that would take 1/2 an hour in her comfy home environment (possible while naked or wearing pajamas) with NPR playing in the background. Particularly when the extenuating circumstance entails wearing high heels and filling out ticket order forms for entitled rich people drinking bad wine and talking to each other in a smug and self congratulatory fashion.

Feste, or why I went on a pub crawl on a Wednesday night.

Song sung by Feste in Act II, scene iii, of Twelfth Night :

O mistress mine, where are you roaming?
O, stay and hear! your true-love's coming,
That can sing both high and low.
Trip no further, pretty sweeting;
Journeys end in lovers meeting,
Every wise man's son doth know. What is love? 'Tis not hereafter;
Present mirth hath present laughter;
What's to come is still unsure:
In delay there lies no plenty;
Then come kiss me, sweet and twenty,
Youth's a stuff will not endure.

Or course I was in cargo pants instead of a velvet gown.....meh.

Work environment

No matter what our work environment, it eventually gets stale.

Oh great. Insomnia.

Dear Dr. Frog,

Oh great.

Insomnia.

Last night this was me, but throw in a heaping helping of audition agony/panic.

Loverman was passed out cold, snoring obliviously next to me. I suppose I should have gazed happily at him rejoicing in the wonder that is his fragile life, his eyelids fluttering, his heart beating somewhere inside his darkness.

Instead I wanted to fake a nightmare so he would wake up and hold me.

My waking anxieties are worse than most nightmares. (With the exception of the ones where all my teeth fall out.) And somehow having somebody sleeping peacefully next to me makes things worse. Like I don't want to wake them so I try to hold completely still, but that just makes me feel even more trapped.

I went through a period last year where I didn't deal with this. I was in the middle of doing a show, I was going out every night, I was making new friends and starting the loverman affair. I slept like a baby.

This is not usual for me.  Even as a child I would have night terrors.  During my last (bad) relationship (5 years lost), I frequently felt these feelings of entrapment, and after the 1st year I wouldn't have even contemplated waking up the man next to me to comfort me. And then after I left him, I had a few months of intense anxiety, but it lessened as I came to terms with myself and my new life.


But still I go through these periods of fear, these sleepless nights, at least once every couple of months.  And lately it's been getting worse again.

I want to ask if this is normal, I want to ask if I'm doing something wrong, that I have to deal with this.  But I know it doesn't matter.  It has to stop  because I want to change my life, and I don't want having the man I love sleeping next to me to  be a burden.  I want it to be a blessing.

And Tylenol PM is expensive.

Rush Limbaugh surrendered to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office in April 2006 after being charged with doctor shopping. According to investigators, the 55-year-old Limbaugh bounced from doctors in a bid to secure multiple prescriptions for powerful painkillers like OxyContin. In a settlement with Florida prosecutors, the felony case against the conservative radio star will be dropped in 18 months if Limbaugh continues to undergo addiction counseling and is not arrested again. He also agreed to pay about $30,000 in fines and court costs.

The Smoking Gun
 ---------
 Ok, so I know I'm giving old Rush a harder time than Bowie.  But Dr Frog, being a doctor, doesn't take kindly to misusing prescription drugs, and OxyContin is some scary stuff.  Much scary than pot and some (really hot) gender bending.  Plus Rush Limbaugh is a negative horrible human being and Bowie writes music that has brought a lot of happiness into many lives.  Including Dr Frog's.  Besides, Bowie was comparatively a lad at the time of his arrest (29 years old).  I don't have Rush's exact age at the time his arrest, but judging by the photo I'd say he's had a few more years to learn his lessons about dangerous substances and....what's the medical term?....ah yes, "Get his shit together."

Now, how does that make you feel?

Music legend David Bowie was arrested in upstate New York in March 1976 on a felony pot possession charge. The Thin White Duke, 29 at the time, was nabbed along with Iggy Pop and two other codefendants at a Rochester hotel following a concert. Bowie was held in the Monroe County jail for a few hours before being released. The below Rochester Police Department mug shot was taken three days after Bowie's arrest, when the performer appeared at City Court for arraignment.

wikipedia is editing my brain

Charles Julius Guiteau (September 8, 1841 – June 30, 1882) was an American lawyer who assassinated U.S. President James Garfield on July 2, 1881. He was executed by hanging

He was also completely bonkers.

This fine gentlemen was one of the assassins singing and dancing merrily in my earlier post today. He was also one of the featured articles on Wikipedia today.

I hadn't thought about that show for ages until today.

Everybody's Got the Right

From the Broadway revival of Assassins, by Stephen Sondhiem and John Weidman.

This was the most thrilling production I have ever seen.

I don't generally identify with the killers that populate this show, or with their credo.  But today, I'm just sleep deprived and angry enough (about jobs, and money, and dreams, and love) that I actually needed to hear this song.

Americans should know by the now the dangers of making promises we can't always keep.  Truth is, not everyone CAN be anything they want.  Sometimes you just aren't smart enough, or pretty enough, or lucky enough.  We have to learn to deal with that, if we want to be happy.

I'm still learning.
