jimmy crack corn...
Hello its Monday. Man I can’t wait till friday but before that arrives there is much to do and I feel like I can’t do it. I need a hug!
The looming death list of:
- taxes ( find that special thing from dad )
- gas company ( you faxed them, now what )
- video about breasts ( for work, the big looming edit, must be finished, dvd’d )
- startup and guidesheet for new project
- expenses
Ok maybe that list isnt too bad really, it can be done. Taxes is the big angry one, I need to address that today. Then I have to get the video done and pressed on DVD. That is the messiest project by far. Then the guidesheet is the one that has all eyes on me for confirmation of done’ness. The gas should be taken care of by now, its faxed. Expenses is something i should do before I leave friday.. for..
The Mary’s are performing saturady night at the improv conference. I’ll be heading up with the ladies on friday and will take part in a few of the workshops as well as I get my feet wet a bit in improv. Should be interesting. I’m still a bit nervous about it really, comedic timing, how to be funny.. never thought of it like that. It just comes to me, some things are funny to me, others are not. Cueing up inspiration on the fly on demand takes practice. I’m not sure I can do it right at first, but i must try and try and try.. maybe it will be like my drawing, really bad a first heh.
This weekend I picked up a sketch book, my first real sketch book.. oooo.. and I spent about $25 on pens. I had to work on saturady, that kinda blew, but it happens… I doodled some new ones.. freakish moments locked in my mind. I look at them this morning and laugh.. what was I thinking.
So you’re the new help eh? Mary and I had a wonder weekend however. She did her improv thing on Saturday at the Hey Hey and it was good, she had a tough show but it works, they are a talented group of ladies thats for sure. Sunday I played with my PAL, set it up like a beatbox in the garage while I cleaned the mini. Shuffle + PAL is a nice combo.
Afterwards, I drank a big glass of SunnyD-Lemonade.. which Mary is convinced is bad for me.. tisk tisk she says, but its sooo yummy. Mary being so sweet to me made me deviled eggs, now theres a way to a mans heart.. my heart that is.. deviled eggs. Wow, that’s a nice! It was reported that “ack no wine!’ 2 buck chuck here we come! We raced off to Trader Joes and picked up a gaggle of goods and paid for it on an old trader joes gift card I had from xmas. Dang that worked out nicely. We returned hope, she read the massive book DARK TOWER and I napped bit.. occasionally checking my auctions in WoW. What a dreamy day really. It was nice, windy, sunny, dreamy, twas fun.
Saturday night, McKal, which i dont know how to spell her name but shes one of the gals in Mary’s troope, anyways McKal is israeli and has a thick accent, shes really funny too in a brash kinda wham here ya go kinda way. Anyways her character in my mind at least from watching them improv now for many shows is the classic misunderstood kind of character. And when shes not performing I cant tell if she’s turned it off or not. She has two obsessions or fetishes since i’ve known her: the pope and being catholic. At one point in our conversation saturday night after the show I asked her what religion she was.. and she replied “i’m jewish, israeli, atheist…” Oh I said… waahh? Apparently she was born Jewish, she’s for a fact israeli, and is now atheist.. and all of this information in printed on her ID card. I didn’t know religion could be attached to a person in such a way. My ID says I’m Cathoic but i’m really a Post Modern Methodist…hmm you could have fun with this kind of stuff. Anyways in a few short hrs we covered the range of the topics, from me marrying a pagan to the pope to well fun in the bedroom. Hey it was late and people were frisky for fun chatter.
Oh yes and then Mary and I got to explain how we met which is a talk i’ve been having alot lately. eHarmony.. its funny we see that commerical on TV and we clutch each other and wave to the old man on there as if he was our master or mad scientist that created us. There is a calming sensation i get around Mary, I cant explain it really, we just connect without much work. We laugh all the time and each one of us tosses jokes at the other with passionate bliss. I can be as goof as can ever be and it works.. it sticks, she gets it, she laughs at it, she encourages it. I give her confidence, i reminder her how beautiful she is when shes not feeling it, I tell her that shes a damn funny woman, and that is a fact, she has the gift of comedy, she has the heart of a great person.. we just connect. No questions, no ids, no messages, we read each other, we dont need gifts to remind each other, we do gag gifts often though for fun.. the little suprises are nice, and we accept each other whole, our good and the bad. Sometimes we get a blank stare from folks that look back at us and go “ya ya but what about eharmony… i heard it was a scam..” if its a scam, its a damn good one, cause I dunno. All eharmony does is suggest a person really.. you have to make it work. Maybe it made our job easier, i cant say really.
