i got up at 7:45, showered, shaved, ate a good breakfast, and waited by the phone to get my first every work assignment from park and rec.
it never came. i waited around all morning, watching an episode of ER, two episodes of Judging Amy, an episode of Deep Space Nine, with each episode, i kept thinking "i need to be doing something uninvolved so that the second they call i can drop everything and go," but eventually frustration and disappointment seeped in... awesome! i salvaged the day by joining a gym (but not actually working out, please) so that was something... but still, whew. it took my all day to get out of the rut.
fortunately, as i do my e-mail stuff before bed, addams family values has been on, and i've thought it would be good to relate some of the funniest lines:
[morticia is in labor]
doctor: mrs. addams, would you like anaesthesia?
morticia: no, but do ask the children.
[at debbie's bridal shower, margaret, cousin it's wife is showing off her new baby]
margaret: what.
debbie: i didn't say anything.
margaret: no, what--that's the baby's nickname. from the obstetrician.
morticia: isn't she precious.
margaret: we've had offers.
[they go to try and pry fester from debbie, who's keeping him from the rest of the addamses]
Morticia: You have enslaved him. You have placed Fester under some strange sexual spell. I respect that. But please, may we see him?
Debbie: Don’t even think about it.
Morticia: You have gone too far. You have married Fester. You have destroyed his spirit. You have taken him from us. All that I could forgive. But Debbie…
Debbie: What?
Morticia (reproachfully): Pastels?
[morticia is reading "the cat in the hat" to rupert, who has turned from a gomez-like baby into a blonde, golden haired cherub].
Morticia: “We looked, then we saw him step in on the mat. We looked, and we saw him – the Cat in the Hat.” Are you enjoying this? To think… a child of mine. (She continues to read) “I know it is wet, and the sun is not sunny, but we can have lots of good fun that is funny.” (She flips to the last page of the book.) Oh, no. He lives.
anyway, i could go on, but i won't. suffice it to say, i'm hoping that this no-work streak doesn't continue, but i'll be honest, i'm not setting my alarm for tomorrow morning... let their call wake me.
hasta mañana.
