raybearIn general I avoid just the straight up recall list of weekend activities, but sometimes this is a journal and I like to have a record of things I did. But, I will make it short and save long philosophical commentary because I'm not in the mood.
Friday
I helped out with the Drag/Burlesque show at University of Chicago which went well and had only a few standout moments other than just general goodness of seeing lovely friends (specifically ones who lovingly rub my head for a long time). I got to chat briefly with my two favorite Prince Fans, as featured in previous journal entries. I also performed Casanova again, which I swear, I love that act but I'm starting to think it's cursed, because every time I perform it there's always some sort of sound/DJing crisis moments before which causes crazy high anxiety adrenaline boost. But, despite me forgetting a major prop (big up to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
louche for rescuing my a$$) and a miscommunication about running sound with inthealong, I made it on stage and things were going quite well until suddenly, in this strange moment, somewhere halfway through the song, I looked out into the big empty darkness of blank faces (or so it seemed) and actually had an intense moment of stage fright. Something I have not experienced in years. I only physically froze for about 1.5 seconds, which went unnoticed since I spend most of the act tied up and unable to move anyway.
Afterwards my body was so sleepy but my brain was so wanting to go out to the Prop House. I'm so glad I ignored my body. I could write a whole entry about the Prop House and how in love I am with it and how I want to go there every Friday night. But I won't do that now.
Saturday
Lunch with Miss Rook. Came home frozen and sleepy. Took a nap, ate pizza with Lowenstein before she went out, then spent the majority of the evening listening to music and playing The Sims, a "hobby" I've neglected for the better part of last year. Later that evening got into a bit of a scrap, except not the kind where one really throws punches, though sometimes I think those might hurt less.
Sunday
Got woken up at 9 am by the phone and never fully fell back asleep. Tried unsuccessfully to nap several times during the day but my body would not cooperate -- I swear I used to be a deep sleep-er who was borderline narcoleptic and could sleep ten hours in a row every night. Now I'm a light sleep-er who has trouble napping. I don't think I like it. So I watched the movie Roger Dodger instead which had it's moments, especially during the scenes with Jennifer Beals and Elizabeth Berkeley. Then I went tovfc's for our soon to be monthly Trivial Pursuit tournament where we were unceremoniously trounced by limenal though I think I was unofficially second place.
Monday
No work today. Finally got a long full night's sleep, even with Sophie being crazy needy and whiney. Now I'm trying to get motivated to either organize my closet or read Proust.

Date: 2004-01-20 05:01 pm (UTC)The Sims 2 challenges you to direct the journey of your Sims' lives as they grow from infancy through childhood, teenage life and adulthood.
Starting with a personality that you give them (or that they inherit from their parents), your Sims will develop in unique ways based on your choices and influence.
As they progress through life, your Sims will collect memories which shape who they are, what options they have and how they behave. These experiences can have a short or long-term effect on relationships between family members and friends. Experiences between Sims when they are children can affect their relationships as teens and adults. Your Sims can have casual friendships or make life-long enemies.
Your Sims live in a realistic and vivid 3-D world of your own creation. When you build their homes, you'll have new options that will allow you to create decks, attics, and build on hillsides. You'll be able to choose from hundreds of new objects, many of which can be customized from within the game. And once you've built the perfect home, you'll be able to zoom in close to see every detail of Sim life, from the food in the refrigerator to the expression of moods and feelings on your Sims' faces.
Rounding out the experience, The Sims 2 delivers dozens of features requested from fans over the past four years. A new "Create-A-Sim" feature will allow you to easily make unique and detailed character faces with a variety of hair styles, facial hair, make-up and accessories. You'll also be able to choose from a wide selection of casual, formal, cool and crazy clothing styles. And carrying on the tradition of giving players the ability to customize their game, The Sims 2 is designed to allow players to easily integrate content created by players outside the game.
Prepare to experience the wild ride of life through the eyes of your Sims in 2004.
