wow. this blog is boring. i have nothing to say but i will say things anyway. it is cold here. i got a new winter coat. my old winter coat was dumb and stupid but my new coat is nice and fun. a very, very old woman with a scarf on her head touched my arm gently as i was messing with the cracker display at work and said to me in a soft, raspy voice, "christmas is coming. you need to get a lot of rest. this is the city. this aint the burbs, baby. this aint the burbs." then she hobbled away shouting, "this aint the burbs! no! this aint the burbs! it's the city!" i really should get some rest. she's right.
my comedy group is working on our new show, "christmas is so special". i came up with the title. catchy, no? i wrote a fantastic opening song.
i am personally working on my own show called, "emily! live! a night of song and stories". i will be wearing a fancy dress, have fancy hair and will be wearing fancy makeup. it will be a fancy show. i will sing poorly and will be heckled. this is all ok with me because this show will fulfill a lifelong dream. it will be just like the shows i performed in my bedroom when we lived on gold cup lane when i was 15 and had trouble relating to my peers because i loved barbra streisand and judy garland and doris day and knew all the words to gershwin songs. i would make up cabaret acts and perform them in my room when i was grounded (which was often) and sometimes for an audience of hashifa vachoo. hashifa would watch patiently but would roll her eyes and throw her body around in agony. this new show will be great!
i have to go to work now.

you make my heart hurt and you give me the giggles all at the same time!
tell me, will you be touring coming to a city near me? i would really like to see your show and clap my hands madly like a little organ monkey.
The show will be fantastic and you will be showered with praise.
By me.
Remember the version of White Christmas you and HV did from Home Alone???? That must be included in the show.
Please tell me it's a one women show.
And you'll be playing 47 different characters.
I don't remember the cabaret acts as much as I do being talked into laying on your floor in the dark listening to Morrisey...that was weird.
you singlehandedly caused this blog to no longer blow.
good luck...
p.s.
I'm sitting at home working on some homework listening to my itunes on shuffle.
Dolly Parton's hit song Me and Little Andy just came on.
That song blows.
