Amy Rigby
So, last night was the Amy Rigby show at Little Brothers that I was so jazzed about. I got there before BF and sent her a text message to say, "Hey there's a grand total of 8 people here." So it was not a very well attended show, but she was good at making fun of it, saying that she'd spend 5 minutes a piece with each of us after she was done playing and the like. She did a whole lot of onstage pratter, which would have probably made for a really fun audience interaction show had anyone but the two drunkest guys in the place been answering her back.
She did my two favorite songs off of Diary of a Mod Housewife though: Beer and Kisses and 20 Questions, and that one off the new album (which I still need to get) that's something like "Are We Ever Gonna Have Sex Again." The funniest one was definitely a song she's written for a guy to sing that had a chorus along the lines of "I hate every bone in her body but mine." Classic.
Had a semi-productive weekend. Started teaching STS to knit, the results of which are still iffy. Seems I forgot he was left-handed until we got back from our yarn-buying excursion, etc. so teaching was a bit odd. Thankfully he's ambidextrous enough that he was getting the basic idea of it. I do think I have convinced him that he'll need every bit of the 7 months until his sister's baby is born to get the darn thing done.
I haven't heard from T. yet, though I haven't given up hope yet. I'd really like to just say hey--he was always such a fun guy when I knew him before and it seems like a decade ago. Have thought of contacting other people I've lost touch with too. I guy I sorta-dated during college just popped up as an intern for _Tin House_ but I can't figure out how to send him a note without engaging a rousing game of "let's make fun of the intern for receiving fan mail" which will absolutely mortify him.
Speaking of fan mail, I never responded to that guy who wrote me about my wine poem. And I never told that restaurant in Connecticut to cease and desist using it in their wine list. Hmmmm...that goes on the list, right after unclogging the bathroom sink (who knew what growing my hair out to shoulder length from 2" would do to the plumbing?). But first, laundry, where I will be going now.
