tick mfin’ tock

Today is one of those days where I could feel overwhelmed with everything that is on my plate and all that is swirling around in life right now. I say I could feel overwhelmed, but really, I don’t. I like being this busy. However, o blog of mine, o theraputic beast that you are, I need to profess to you my to-do list in the hopes that saying it aloud (or rather, saying it to the internets) will in some way inspire me to tackle this list head on.

The nominees in the category of things Peter Mavrik needs to get done are:

  • Create a costume plot for L’imitation of Life with David
  • Learn my lines for the scenes where I have exactly five lines. It IS a stage reading with scripts, but there is really no excuse
  • Figure out my face for a press photo shoot on Monday
  • Figure out if and what I’m bringing as a gift to a birthday party tomorrow
  • Try and make a stop at Midsommarfest this weekend
  • Meet up with the delicious T-Bags for some much needed social drinking. It’s been too long since I’ve seen her and I’m jonesin’ for a Smith injection.
  • Cook something with the rhubarb that is teasing me every time I open the refrigerator door
  • Finalize the shopping lists for my party menu. Looks like I might be feedin’ 45 or so
  • Determine the whereabouts of a wayward friend
  • Attempt to stop listening to Bridge Over Troubled Water on repeat. Another friend lost his father and I can’t seem to tolerate any other music at the moment.
  • Put my bedroom back in order after the painting my Dad did. My clothes are still living in the living room.
  • Sort out the ambient music for my friend Borris’ fashion show

That, believe it or not, is the short list.

    Whenever I’ve had unused rhubarb in the fridge, i haven’t felt it was teasing me, but mocking me and saying ‘Nyah, nyah, you don’t know what to do with me! What! Are you just going to let me sit here and rot? You lazy carnivore!”

    But that’s just me. You evidently have a better relationship with the veggies.

    I actually ended up boiling it with the juice and zest of a lemon, a pint of strawberries and a bit of sugar. Made some delicious jam.

    Mmm. Jam.
