Friday, January 17, 2003 Never Mind Question answered - God Bless the Internet. Ew. posted by Ginger | 8:01 PM Hedwig's at it again I know someone who is friends with JCM, and it scares me a little that I might see him in his next movie. (At the risk of sounding completely uncool...what is "bukkake"?) posted by Ginger | 8:00 PM She Works Hard for The Friday Five, so You Better Treat Her Right! 1. Where do you currently work? 52nd Street, between 8th & 9th Avenues in the Theater District, Manhattan, New York, USA. More specifically, I work for a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization which provides original, interactive theatre productions for children. 2. How many other jobs have you had and where? (those of you who know I can get verbose on these, start rolling your eyes now) In roughly chronological order: Lincoln, Nebraska: DaVinci's Pizza (general food-service) less than a week telemarketing for a very shady "family portrait studio" A couple of acting jobs (tiny roles) for Nebraska ETV (educational films: Don't Do Drugs; Jenny, Eat Something -- that sort of thing) The Daily Nebraskan - summer edition (Arts and Entertainment reporter) Lied Center for Performing Arts (box office clerk) Open Harvest (cashier) Susan Scott & Associates, Management Consultants (assistant) A Taste of India (kitchen) Twisters Music & Gifts (clerk) Pershing Municipal Auditorium (box office manager) Volunteer work: Planned Parenthood, Nebraskans for Peace, and the Mental Retardation Association of Nebraska. Unpaid contributor to the Women's Journal-Advocate and the short-lived Maxx magazine Seattle, Washington: Seattle International Music Festival (box office manager) The Group Theater (box office clerk) Matchmaker in the Market (administrative assistant, then office manager) The Stranger (freelance music reviewer - I only wrote one review, under a pseudonym) Amazon.com, Inc. (customer service -> CS trainer -> Advantage member services -> boot in the ass) I also wrote a couple of book reviews for Amazon.com (unpaid). This one seems to be the most popular. My current job is my first job in New York. 3. What do you like best about your job? That I'm working in showbiz! 4. What do you like least about your job? That my salary is not enough to live on. It barely covers the rent, but that's it. So, if that doesn't improve soon I'll have to find something else. (it also doesn't help that my last two paychecks bounced - sigh) 5. What is your dream job? I hate this question, and I have a feeling it's been in The Friday Five before. But anyway... something similar to what I'm doing now, but which pays a lot better, and for a company that has enough money that we don't have to worry about it all the time. ...or, maybe I'd just BLOG FULL TIME! posted by Ginger | 6:18 PM Thursday, January 16, 2003 Watch Your Television Below is a notice from our very talented and incredibly cool director, Mr. Paul Urcioli, who has a recurring role on the new show, Queens Supreme. Please give a watch tomorrow and if you love him as much as we all do, please let your fingers do the typing! Thanks, all! ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 2:55 AM Subject: last minute notice hey folks. just fyi, my first episode of Queens Supreme airs this friday at 10pm on CBS. so tune in if you're so inclined, and afterward you and some (say 10) of your friends across the united states and greater canada can visit CBS.com, click "feedback" [very bottom of page @ left--ed.] and tell the suits that you liked the show and need to see more of that "Peppitone" guy. i'm hoping that the network gets upward of 10,000 emails. it's about time we put this internet thing to good use!! p. -------------------------------------------------------------- posted by Ginger | 11:51 AM Wednesday, January 15, 2003 When Mrs. Boss Is Away... I don't get shit for work done. I'll live to regret this I think. But what a great time to catch up on my e-mail, webbing & blogging! [I know there always seems to be a debate about this, but what is a good alternative to "surfing" when referring to "clicking around on links"? I just think surfing sounds stupid--has anyone come up with a good alternative?] First: Run, do not walk, to www.wilwheaton.net. The erstwhile Wesley Crusher has a charming blog that assures us all that child stardom does not have to end in drug-addled felonies. He also has a journal on slashdot worth checking out. [Thanks to Pat for the tip!] Also: Thanks go out to Eric for making my day, even though I'm not entirely sure I know who he is... posted by Ginger | 2:08 PM Tuesday, January 14, 2003 Apropos of Nothing I never weigh myself. I guess it's the result of a weight-obsessed mother, who weighs herself daily, if not more often, and is always "too fat" even though she runs ten miles a day and wears a size I couldn't squeeze into in Junior High. Like most American women -- heck, most American people -- I am not 100% satisfied with my bod, but I think I look pretty good, feel pretty good, and though I'm not in tip-top shape, I'm not a sedentary slug either. In other words, I'm happy being healthy & curvy. [Note: That is not to say that I couldn't use the occasional ego-boosting compliment and thinly-veiled innuendo, people!] So, I went in for my annual check-up today -- the only occasion where I ever get weighed. And - ta-da - I weigh 15 lbs. less than I did a year ago! I knew I had lost at least 10 lbs., just based on how my clothes fit, so to know it was more was a nice surprise. I now actually weigh what my drivers' license says I weigh. It's all thanks to New York City and its abundance of staircases... posted by Ginger | 4:29 PM Monday, January 13, 2003 Just Had to Share Over the weekend I realized with some alarm that I did not have sex with another person AT ALL in the year 2002. And, I had sex only ONCE (well, once and a half -- depending on how you're counting) in the year 2001. I think that must be my longest dry spell since high school. It seems a damn shame to let my sexual prime go to waste. On the upside, I didn't realize this until now, which must mean I'm keeping myself busy enough not to dwell on my lack of action (much). Here's looking optimistically to 2003! UPDATE 1-14-03 : The ex-BF has disclosed that he's been getting his freak on in 2003 -- ahead of me! Now that you throw good-natured competition into the mix, the actor is SO doomed... posted by Ginger | 12:43 AM |
