Excellent things:
Jen took me to the Carnegie Deli for a very large Reuben and then to the Zeigfeld Theater (my very favorite) to see Chicago. AWESOME. I made her stop and look at all the exhibits and photos of the Zeigfeld Beauties. After seeing the Pontani Sisters the other night all I want to do now is sit around the house and sew sequins onto bras.

The best part was the audience clapped after all the songs and was so gay. I loved it, although Renee Zellweger was so skinny it looked like she was going to crack in half when she bent over. Evidently ribcages were the big accessory in the 20s.

In other good news, my CD player spontaneously fixed itself, and I figured out a way to make hotmail work on my computer (sounds like a little thing, but it's important).

Also, on the way home, I noticed a Help Wanted sign in the video store on the corner (3 blocks from my house, ha!)I went in and the Chinese dude who owns the place interviewed me by warning me that they couldn't pay very much (and I go "in cash, though?" and he goes "Yeah, sure." Also he goes "Are you Chinese?" which is so illegal, but you know, Asian people are nosy and HAVE to KNOW. I told him I was half and couldn't read or speak Mandarin and he looked disappointed as I imagine my Chinese uncles might look if they lived in America and had a bad niece like me.) So I might be taking three or four nights a week, 6-11 there. It's a pretty depressing place but I don't know, the life of a video store clerk seems a-ok. Mandroid does it...

Setting my career goals low has been great so far.

Which video store? The one next to Vera Cruz or the one a bit further down?

The crappy one next to VeraCruz with the terrible flourescent lighting. The people at Reel Life are snobby sometimes, I find -- what do you think? (Plus I owe them $36.00).

Wasn't Chicago effin' amazing? I was awed. We thought the same thing about Renee Zellweger, especially in the last scene. We were like, damn, she makes CZJones look like a portly woman by comparison, when really, CZJ is the normal one. And speaking of rib cages, the first girl in the "Cell Block Tango" looked emaciated too.

Yeah -- they did a good job of translating it to a movie and keeping in the song and dance, I think.

I read an article that said she refused to do a sequel to Bridget Jones if she had to put the weight on again that she put on for the first. Oh yeah she looked so chunky, hot damn :P *rolls eyes*
