Sep. 3rd, 2005 09:56 amMy show went really well last night, but I'm glad it's over. My parents like it, as did the employer who came to it. Today I go into rehearsals for the Praxis thing. On Tuesday, we have a photoshoot for the New York Times before we open.
Kali's birthday is tonight, which means I have to wrap a present and go make a marzipan snake. Don't ask.
The situation on the Gulf Coast continues to fascinate, exhaust and frighten me. My parents at dinner last night in some pseudo-French Bistro in Times Square that sells Versinthe asked me if I were passionate about anything else in life right now, which made me really angry. I trust I don't need to explain why.
I"ve seen a tide-turning in terms of the perception of the media here online that gladdens me. I've seen a lot of uttter shit watching the news every night and a lot of reporters who need yelling at, and I missed the Geraldo moment (although I'm actually not surprised by it, he's as complex a figure in the span of modern news as there is) documented here: http://www.livejournal.com/community/guerillanews/664959.html but the folks who are doing good work are doing amazing work. the last couple of nights I seem to have had a 2am date to cry with Anderson Cooper as that idiot woman on CNN:HN interviews him about what's going on wherever he is.
