I've been processing some emotional things and I'm having trouble talking about it. So I've been staying in and not staying in contact very well. I'm reaching a point where things are clear enough that I can talk about, so that's a good thing. I feel so busy and I feel like I'm falling behind on my work, so I might not be getting out much, but maybe.

Yesterday I went to Ikea to buy some hangers and glass containers, and a little plant caught my eye. It's something vaguely ivy-ish and there was no information on exactly what it was. I'm assuming that it will make a good houseplant because there was a whole shelf of these things sitting in the middle of Ikea. It's not like a garden store. I put it on the kitchen table. I'm going to need to put the poor little guy in a real pot soon. There's another houseplant in the studio. Bossman was going to take it home with him because he was concerned that it wasn't doing well and wasn't getting enough light. The plant is doing quite well, in spite of always forgetting to water it. So that plant will stay here in the studio with me. It's nice to be growing things that aren't mold in the house. I'd like to grow lemon balm but I don't know if it would make a good houseplant.

I just got back from the John Waters show at the Castro Theatre. I had never seen him live, and I'm not a crazy fangirl, but I do believe in corrupting youth and the various sorts of freespirited things depicted in his movies. It was pretty good! I never went through that teenage stage of watching John Waters movies a lot. I honestly don't even remember when I first heard about him, but I don't think his movies were widely available in Indiana. Actually I take that back. I remember seeing Cecil B. Demented and I might have seen it in the theatre, but I might have already been in California at that time. The Castro Theatre is pretty awesome and the crowd was perfect but a little short on drag queens. I would say that John was looking well, but I was pretty far in the back and I couldn't really tell. I couldn't even see his mustache clearly. These new contacts are a lot better than my old ones, but you know. It is also fantastic to have a friend to see live shows with. I just don't get out to these things unless I have someone to go with. I was really into theatre and opera for a long time, but then I stopped getting a student discount. I also love dance, but I have yet to find someone who wants to see dance performances with me. When I was dancing San Francisco was the largest dance scene in the US, so I had the opportunity to see some really fantastic performances. I don't know if SF is still the largest dance scene or not, but I still want to see dance. Anyone interested??
