She Called Him a Swine

I'm sure it's a coincidence, but why is everyone dealing with some sort of health problem during this current swine flu epidemic that hardly has any relation to the swine flu itself? I don't understand. And maybe it's just me, but I think "swine fever" sounds better than "swine flu". Probably because it makes me think of A Hard Day's Night.

This is one of those days (or maybe weeks) where I just need a break, some time where I can just relax and think about the good things, to lie down and rest my head. However, there's a show tonight, so I can't be too picky. I can take a deep breath though and remember what I'm supposed to be doing right now and not let the negative thoughts get to me. There will be plenty of time between scenes to do this too, I'm sure.

I feel a little better. It's great to know that even though sometimes I feel alone, I'm not really. Some people are all kinds of wonderful.

That Easter Morn

Four years ago, Easter was the last Sunday of March. This year, it is the second Sunday of April. Why? Why does Easter change every year? There is no consistency, except for the fact that Easter is celebrated on Sunday. Most holidays are either celebrated on their specified date or a day of the week close to the specified date (i.e. Dr. King's birthday is always observed a few days around if not on his actual birthday) or at least in a given month (i.e. Father's Day is always a few weeks into June). Or is there more consistency to when Easter is observed? Is there something else I have overlooked?

In any case, this will be far from the traditional Easter I am used to spending. Rather than dinner and a viewing of The Ten Commandments, I will be out preparing for the first night of tech week. It's funny how things work.

I didn't buy any peeps this year. Shame on me. Maybe there will be some major Easter candy sales tomorrow. I think it would be wonderful if peeps came in every color, like jellybeans. I mean, why aren't they made in orange? Orange peeps would sell like hot cakes. At least, I'd be sure to fill my inventory with them.


Do you know what else would be wonderful? A store that sells seasonal candy year round. I remember a mention of that on one episode of Law and Order: SVU, and wondered if it is truly a reality. I'm sure there must be one somewhere. If not, well, I suppose I can wait until next March for my peeps. Or next April. Or whenever Easter will be.
