One of our designers has just had her 25th anniversary at the press, so she was recognized at the staff meeting this morning and presented with a lovely sterling-silver . . . bottle opener. Drink up, Nanc!

It occurs to me that I have not seen any houses in Connecticut with painted tires decorating the yard. Ya'll ever seen that? At some homes in the south, people have painted tires standing upright and buried about halfway to line the yard. That's class. I don't know why people up here don't do that. It's senseless.

Good fucking lord. I wore a brand-new nice shirt to work today. The designer whom the department took out to lunch yesterday brought around wrapped fancy chocolates for each of us. I put mine in my shirt pocket. I was writing something at my desk, and evidently I was pressing up against the edge of the desk with my mid-chest area. I guess the fucker exploded, for now I have a pocketful of chocolate and gooey filling, and I have to sit here with my arm across my left manbreast for the next hour so nobody will see what a spaz I am. I was very careful not to get mustard on my shirt at lunch today, and now I'm sitting here smelling like the Godiva chocolate factory. I haven't had a food-related disaster this bad since the salsa nightmare.

Mom and I just got back from seeing Radio Golf at the Yale Rep. Excellent, excellent stuff. It felt so cool to be seeing the premiere of such a major playwright's work.

Oh yeah, minor language thing: I had a stagecraft professor in college who insisted on spelling the name of one of his courses "playwrighting." I thought he was just retarded, as he also pronounced the word "aprocryphal" as "aah-poe-CREE-phul" and the word "exponentially" as "expotentially." But our usher tonight had a nametag that read, "Allison ______ '07, Playwrighting."

Stop the madness. Yes, "playwright" is the noun. "Playwriting" is the verb. RECOGNIZE.
