lonely-cat time

Someone's having a PROPER party somewhere in our apartment building.
IT'S SO COOL!
One of them has a guitar and they are singing soooo many well known folky songs.

And so it's Friday night..

And UGH.
Whatever.

I was gonna write about stuff, but now I'm just over it.

Wtf.
For no reason.
So fun.

But as always, I'm working on it, roots up, to really get rid of it.
And as always it's a lack of personal TLC time.
Always is.
And the response is always to turn to external fire extinguishers, but I'm really trying.


So instead, here's a photo of my breakfast this morning with the Spanish one.
She's been gone about a second and I really miss her. Ridic.
We so did not finish our chats today.

Her's is the omelette, mine's the pancake (with fresh strawberry jam, not ketchup).



The gig tonight was another full house.
On our way to TLN I really thought I was gonna go into town, with the Pisces-2.
But then I got a bad case of a guilty conscience - gig tomorrow, should rest, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

blah
blah
blah
blah
blah

Bottomline.
Now I'm home, thinking WHERE IS MY PARTY.
Where are the people I want to see?
UGH.

Anyway.

The point is.
It's a messy night.

They keep getting sparser and sparser.

And I really, really wish one day they'll stop coming.

WHEREISMYPARTY.

F_k YOU, conscience.

now what

So, now what, boys and girls.
Now what?

Uneasy.

I MISS THEATRE

I miss you, I say! Seriously!
I miss theatre so much.

This little outburst was brought on by this circus show I just watched (not live, TV broadcast), by this Canadian troupe called Cirque Eloize. Their show "Rain" - Comme une pluie dans tes yeux.

I think they are worth checking out.

The show had this amazing sense of nostalgia about it. It's not usually my thing, but it worked so so well. This bittersweet circus cabaret with the most amazing acrobats, some songs, some silly bits, not with clowns but exceedingly charming people.
Just, I love circus. I think it just holds what I hold dear - the playful nature. I don't like animal circus, nor do I think it's necessary.
Circus is about grown-ups doing what we should be doing - marveling at the world, and responding to it. The laughter, the amazement, and the music, and just, all of it in this big glorious nostalgic French pie. Superb.
And just silly enough.
And I liked how simple it was. I'm a big fan of Cirque du Soleil but their stuff is just so grand in scale (I don't know a better word for describing this). Eloize's stuff was so much more low-key, and simple, like I could go away from seeing their show and do some of it myself - just have fun.

Awesome. Truly awesome.
Thanks, ETV, for broadcasting good things.
