Odd cravings.

I'm on a clam and seafood kick right now. Shrimp every other night, clam sauce & chowder for the past three days.... Hmmmm. Double hmmm because at the end of the month I'll be in a place where I can get seafood super-fresh, so why am I going bananas for it now? I continue to be iffy on salmon. I think I overdosed on it last year. Although salmon cream cheese is still the food of the gods. Yum.

I have just been informed that Picasso is sold out tonight and tomorrow. Amazing. I think I'll put Steve Martin's name on everything I do from now on. And "Picasso". I mean, I'm glad that' we're doing so well, and it's a lot of fun to be playing to large houses, it's just that there's days when I can't figure out why something does or does not sell well.

Bugger working. I don't want to be here, I don't have any urgent projects, I just want to go home, go for a run, and nap until it's time to go be charming. Or go on a quest for theater space. Something not here.

Things that make me happy.

We're listing off happy-making things in Buffistas, so I thought I'd put my list in my LJ for posterity.


A By No Means Complete List Of Juliana's Happy Things

Dozing during a storm.

Running well.

Most angles of Downtown Minneapolis as I'm speeding on the freeways at night are so. damn. gorgeous. that I can't help but be happy.

Seeing a good performance (sports, acting, music).

The middle of striking a show, when everyone's in full swing and people are scrambling up and down ladders yelling "Cable dropping!" and everyone is just busy and joking around and looking forward to the first beer. I think it's the feeling of group effort and capability that gets me.

Curling up next to Zach under the warm covers.

Watching the cats play.

Planning our wedding together.

Laughing until tears are streaming down my cheeks and my stomach hurts.

Trying to keep it together onstage as Ari (Einstein) genteely mugs for the audience.

Watching actors crack up onstage.

Hosting parties.

Showing Eddie Izzard to people who get it.

Sitting with my friends and family, drinking and eating and laughing and talking.

Having friends all over the world.


So, what's yours?
