Wait a minute, it's been HOW long?



So I went to my (yikes!) 20 year high school reunion this weekend. It was, well, interesting. Several of the people I went there to see, who had also e-mailed me recently about how nice it would be to catch up never showed. I ended up spending most of the night sitting with the class wallflower and an overacheiver from the class of '84 (they couldn't get it together themselves, so it was a "combined" reunion). I couldn't recognize anyone without their nametags. Everyone was at least 40 pounds heavier and working on their second marriage. I mistook one girl as the hotel manager because she looked about 50, then realized she was from my class. The school "hottie" looked anything but, and another girl was stumbling drunk when the party started. By 2 hours into it half the people had already left...I guess they just can't keep up in their old age. Then around 11:00 a group of "the guys" rolled in wearing trucker hats, t-shirts and ripped jeans. Mind you, this was a semi-formal event. I'm sure these guys probably still spend their weekends sitting on the school bleachers drinking beer and talking about the good old days. All in all, I'm glad I went, if I hadn't I would forever wonder what I missed, but I don't think I'll be making it to any more class reunions...

Around the world and back again...

Okay, so maybe it was just the nation...

After 2 weeks in Pasadena rehearsing my ass off for practically no reason, I told the producers I'd had enough of their B.S., packed up my bags (again), rented a car and drove up Highway 15 to where this whole mess began 2 1/2 years ago. The land of slot machines and prostitution. Okay, there's more redeeming qualities to Las Vegas than that...I think. I've set myself up in a great apartment with a fabulous view and am enjoying having all my stuff around me again. I've decided to forego buying a car at this point and instead I'm doing a lot of walking and taking the bus...and the monorail is up and running now too. It runs all the way from the MGM to the Sahara and stops practically across the street! I'll save a buttload on car insurance and gas. Heck, on gas alone! Have you seen the prices at the pump lately? I don't know how long it will be until I simply HAVE to buy one, but for now I'm actually enjoying not having the pain in the ass that a car can be. Practically every car I've owned broke down on a regular basis. The first car I bought died in less than 24 hours! Besides after living in New York I'm rather used to taking public transit...
