Perpetual Drafts of the Perpetually Daft

In which the theme of this blog posts asks the question: “why does it take a fever to finally have a activity-free weekend?”

I've been trying to keep this updated at least once a week and yipes, I nearly passed the 7 day mark! Would it be cheating if I linked to my other blog, the place that I'm supposed to be writing in more, but I end up kicking around and procrastinating here? Not cheating if I also write here, right? Right? Okay, here. Been busy at all 3 of my jobs lately, hence the lack of even procrastinatory posts here. Like, that busy. My writing brain has been used up in my other lives so, why don't I just end here while I'm behind. Lots of other random thoughts floating in my head and I can't wait to put it down here soon. Peace out. Check out my favorite youTuber for your viewing pleasure in the meantime:

I wish I had the drive to write letters to friends again. I was going to text most of the following to a friend of mine, but I realize this is something that everyone needs to hear from time to time. It's about gratitude and seeking to feel it more in our lives. If my long text were in letter form, it would go something like this: Dear You, As usual, we never have enough time to have a fully realized conversation. Today, I kept saying sorry because I couldn't make it better and I really did want to help you feel better. You might not believe this, but I think of you often, not in a creepy way,😜 but it just shows how much you mean to me. You must know that you are important to a lot of people. Be grateful for that and the other blessings in your life. You have a roof over your head, people that love you, a job, your health, your faith, your cuteness. There is so much to be grateful for - that is your fuel to keep going. I have some friends and family that have been goin...

A few awesome things happened tonight.  Once On This Island Broadway   was an incredible, moving, immersive experience. I thought of cousin's daughter (a fellow Broadway musical geek)  almost the entire time, I wish she could experience this with us.  I’ve never had such mixed emotions at the end of a show like this - bursting with happiness and sadness and disappointment and hope pushed out some unintended tears. The cast was incredible. They were really strict with pics so I wasn’t able to photograph our  front row seats. The play takes place at the  What we found out was that sitting in the front row, you are literally stepping on this island, our shoes on the sand!  I was sitting right next to Alex Newell’s (from Glee!) character’s cooking station. He was actually cooking, chopping a plantain and throwing it into a pan as people were still coming in and settling in their seats! You walk into the theater and there’s a little girl sitting in th...

Once I again, I find myself with wet hair and limited time before an appointment. May the Creative Procrastination commence! I've had a bunch of random thoughts over the past few days that I meant to put down here so let me just get those out now, to be further developed later on (ha! where have I heard that before?!) 1. I should add photos or some kind of image with my posts for I don't know aesthetic reasons. 2. One of my early childhood memories was during Santa Cruzan season in the Philippines. Here is a photo not actually in the Philippines but in the West Village when I was about 17 years old during a Santa Cruzan. Yep, in my past life I was Miss Philippines 😹 I spent many summers there growing up. I wish I had a photo of the memory I have from my experience of one of these marches in the Philippines. I must have been about 6 or 7 years old. The Santacruzan had to be at night but I can't be sure. Now I'm thinking, was it even a Santacruzan? I kn...

Happy New Year! For the record, it takes about 5 layers of clothes to feel comfortable outdoors on a chilly day like today. Layers include an undershirt, base layer, long sleeve shirt, sweatshirt or sweater, underpants, ski bib, wool socks, boots, wool hat, winter ready jacket and mittens. There's (almost) no such thing as bad weather if you dress correctly :)
