Really fun day yesterday. Started off with a positive surprise - I went to meet my friend for a manicure downtown and I had to stop at the bank because the place we went to was cash only. I wasn't expecting to get paid until Tuesday but lookie there, my paycheck was in and about $500 more than I expected. Nice! We had a nice time at the manicure shop; I had mine done in purple/black crackle since we had a show last night. I ended going to show in as Alex Delarge from Clockwork Orange just for the hell of it. The full eye makeup, a perfect hat, my cane, etc, and the dark nails just finished the look.

After our manicure we went and had chinese food where she ened up picking up the whole bill. WOW, thank you! Wasn't expecting that. Better still, my fortung? "Fight for it. You will come out on top." Nice. I don't know what I am fighting for this time, but ok. Before lunch I had gone to my co-heads house and loaded up the car with props so that was already taken care of for the day. I got home around 1:30 and there was a note from FedEx that my new Kindle was waiting in the office. Score again! Loaded the old one up and ran to the UPS store to send it back. 2:30 and done until 9. Nap time!

Got up around 4 and made some food for my peeps for the show. I made them grilled pineapple with brown sugar and cardamom. Then I injected each piece with BBQ sauce and topped it off with homemade cardamom whipped cream. Then I made myself dinner, turkey burger with cottage cheese. Then I proceeded to spend an hour plus doing the Clockwork makeup. My eye came out PERFECT. My friend showed up around 8 and we headed up to the show around 9. We had a good show; not fantastic, but a good solid show. We also learned that in October we may have an EXTRA show at a museum. They want us to put on different scenes in different rooms like exhibits. The hard part is it will be the Thursday before Halloween which means we will probably end up doing 5 shows back to back. Who cares, it's fun, dammit.

Went for pie and got home around 4:30. Slept for about 5 hours. Today? Nothing. Nada. Zip. Laundry and loading up the new Kindle.
