What is time off?

Tonight is the first Wednesday I don't have a show or a rehearsal for the first time in almost three months. So what am I going to do? Relax? Clean my apartment? Go to a movie? Nahhh none of that I am going to a friends house to work on lines for an audition on Saturday. So for everyone who knows who I am the next time I bitch about being beat and needing to take some time off just slap me, and L slap does not mean to hit me so hard my fillings fly out of my mouth.

But I did relax last night. A nice steak dinner with sauteed mushrooms and a couple of drinks. A couple as in when you are pulled over by a policemen and asked how many drinks you had and you respond "a couple" when you know damn well you lost count and are having a hard time seeing past you eye lashes. Plus I sat down and watched "The Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy" on DVD. I just wanted to see it before I went to see the movie. I did this for two reasons. One is to be able to watch the movie and be able to argue afterwards with people with no lives who have watched the movie and are upset or outraged that something they remember from the TV version was left out. The other reason is so I can watch the movie and then afterwards be upset or outraged that something I remember from the TV version was left out. Either way I get to argue with people so that makes me happy.

There is one quote in the Hitchhikers that made me role on the floor I was laughing so hard. I wont put into to context but just present it. I can identify with this so much I wish I had said it. I am sure that people who know me well will say it sounds exactly like something I would say. Which while they would say that lovingly to me they would also mean it.

I can so agree with that. lol
