In which NLW spoils me rotten. Totally rotten. And I’ve got interviews next week!

When I got up this morning I checked my email; it’s totally my birthday. I’ve got interviews next week with two companies! Two!

NLW bought me a coffee at Revelations before taking me to Iowa City. The guys were there; BoSe waved and smiled but Bread of course didn’t turn around or acknowledge me in any way whatsoever, and I guess that’s fine. I “dumped” him, so he doesn’t want to see me. Okay. I need to get over it.

In Iowa City we went shopping at a consignment store where NLW spoiled me rotten. She bought me a floor length velvet coat! It’s like something you might wear to the opera: it’s tailored, split lapel, almost tails. It’s dark, dark, dark blue with a red silk liner. It fucking ROCKS, people. ROCKS. I love it.

She took me to lunch, then a movie, and then we came home. (Little Miss Sunshine, btw, is good, but not that good.) The woman’s been spoiling me rotten all month and I adore her for it.

AND I HAVE A FLOOR LENGTH VELVET FUCKING COAT!

Now I’m back on AmmZon’s living room floor; Truck and AmmZon are cuddled on the couch watching Arrested Development and Bindu’s got her chin on my thigh.

    Happy birthday, babe. I meant to get over here earlier today for birthday wishes, but it was the end of the month. And, well, my life goes straight to hell the last day of every month.

    The coat sounds fabulous.

    HAPPY BELATED B-DAY, MUSHLETTE!!! And DAMMIT!! I’m really pissed I missed your call! I was boozin’ it up in George’s for a bit, and it was frikkin’ LOUD in there. Sounds like you had a great time, and the coat sounds gorgeous! So, until the next time you’re in IC, take care and GOOD LUCK at your interviews!!

    Your coat sounds fab. I’d wear it with washed out ripped jeans and a red tank top. I like mixing things up.
    I love retro shops and know exactly how you feel when you find a treasure. That friend of yours sounds like a treasure too. 🙂
    You sound like you are out of the doldrums, good for you.

    Well, I’m not all that happy. Oh, it’s great that you’re getting interviews and all, and it also great that it’s yur b-day and all but…

    You love New York, why aren’t you taking this opportunity to move there and find out if you can be a star of stage & screen? Didn’t you tell us a few months ago that you have a friend there that’ll let you stay at their place?

    You got something against Hollywood? Can’t you sing, act & dance anymore? Last time I was in FF, and you picked up a mic at a nightclub on a whim, I recall you brought the house down. That wasn’t that long ago.

    So, get off your ass. At least think about taking this opportunity to find out if you can make yourself a life on the stage!

    Well now, the man has a point. We all know you’re a performer & I’d *love* to see you in NY (‘though I’d miss you in Ff). But there’s nuthin’ wrong with getting some closure on one chapter before starting another.

  8. Happy Birthday, Mush.

    Lemme get this straight…

    Does not compute. 🙂

  9. Sin says:

    I want that coat so badly, I can almost feel the silk lining… 😉

  10. is a floor-length velvet fucking coat anything like a velvet smoking jacket, except … well … not for smoking?
