rmOn the Internet, everyone is a celebrity, and in New York City this weekend, everyone is a protest organizer.
There's a mass action to disrupt traffic with bicycles being planned -- I saw people taping notes about it to bikes wherever they saw them chained up. And people have hung banners out their windows listing protest locations and times. A large billboard style banner has gone up on 25th and 7th, proclaiming "Save America, Defeat Bush" and generally, the city seems to be humming in a way that is eerily reminiscent of the days after Septemeber 11th, where everyone was _doing_ something with massive efficiency and cleverness, even when there was really nothing to be done. Also, the constant hum of the helicopters makes things sort of weird (and prove again the theory that PJ Harvey's Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea is the first post-9/11 album eventhough it was recorded before it).
One of the curls that sits behind my ear has gone entirely grey. The odd strands here or there are starting to clump, and now that my hair is finally its natural color, I'm pretty much going to have to dye it sooner rather than later. I'm sort of cranky about it.
Got cast in a language instruction industrial today. Not terribly exciting but it's a credit and a small amount of money. So between that and my audition going well (in that I had a good time, lord knows the outcome), I can't really complain.
