room & bored

I recently found out that HBO cancelled my favorite show "The Comeback". Why, why why!!??

At least there's still "6 Feet Under" and "Da Ali G show", right? And I'm finding "My Super Sweet Sixteen" riveting in a train wreck kinda way.

Anyhoo, yesterday C had to get up at 4:40 because he's in the new Julie Taymor movie. He does two different dancing parts and one in a cow costume. The cow scene was yesterday. Eddie Izzard's in that scene. Bono and Rachel Evan Wood are in the movie, too. Cow costume and all, C was thrilled to get to eat so much good food all day for free.

As for me, I was picked up in a fancy car yesterday at 9 am for my meeting with a soft drink giant (aka The Man). Their headquarters are absolutely gorgeous set in the midst of an outdoor sculpture garden somewhere in Westchester.

The meeting went fine enough but I was completely exhausted after a harrowing, sleepless night of anxiety over my father's health. His "dormant, super mild" form of cancer suddenly turned bad. He starts chemo in about a week and I'm going home to be with him and to just be there in case I'm needed.

I'll be able to work from Vancouver so, apart from desperately missing C, being away for a few weeks should be fine. I'm not sure where I'll be staying yet.

I blogged for J last week and as soon as I finish here, I'll do another. The poor thing is locked out and has no computer and no internet access.
