I love Gmail chatting. I'm talking with Amie right now and it is ever so delightful. Why doesn't everyone have it? Get out of your log cabin-esque Yahoo mode and join us enlightened folks on the other side. You'll have more storage space and friends to sit with in the lunch room. Bonus.

Happy Oscars day! I didn't get to watch any award shows this year. I don't think I missed out with the Emmy's. They sounded LAME. No one cares about the Grammys. I tried to watch the Golden Globes but something came up. And the SAG awards were on a bad weekend. But I'm pumped about tonight. I'll watch them over at Jessica's place. We'll have a SlumHOTdog bar and lot's of Milk to drink. We've made Benjamin buttons as party favors along with Sean pins. For dessert we may even eat Meryl Peeps. I'm that cool. 

Predictions: Best Picture-Slumdog Millionaire; Best Actor-Sean Penn; Best Actress-Kate Winslet; Best Supporting Actor-Heath Ledger; Best Supporting Actress-Penelope Cruz; Best Director-Danny Boyle; and none of you care about the rest of my predictions so I'll leave it at that.

Friday night I planned the Communication's Retreat. It was actually just a party at Rob's house but I themed it Mafia Night. I asked everyone to "dress to kill" and come in cocktail wear while we listened to Italian Opera Music and had a delicious Pasta Bar. (Apparently I'm really into planning things with buffet style eating. I should just bite the bullet and go to overeaters anonymous. See I'd even bite a bullet. This is terrible.) Then we played the card game Mafia for three hours. Theatre people are so freakin good at this game. This needs to happen with every group of people that I know. I'm a titch obsessed with it. 

I went to Annex theatre today. I'm going to help them with their Marketing stuff for their next show. We'll see how this goes. I don't really have any more time on my hands, but we all know how much I love being overbooked and overworked. Let's do this. Hopefully once I get started at Annex I can find some other areas to volunteer for them and I think it could be a great way to meet people and work on new plays. So Iowa, so fun. What's really cool about this theatre is that there is no staff. Everyone that works there just does it in their free time and all of the ticket proceeds go to paying rent for the theatre space. It's really collaborative and I'll get to help make decisions on season planning and things like that. Here's to new theatre avenues and long bus rides to Capitol Hill. 

I have to perform my Warm Up this week. I'm all kinds of nervous about it. I just hope I don't say "um" too much and that it is a bit interesting. We'll see. 

In other news: In one week I ate a whole package of Oreo cookies. I blame the government.
