In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is King. In the land of one-eyed men, the two-eyed man isn't necessarily King, but he probably has better depth perception.

For a super-computing convention. We're dressed as pilots this year. The theme is Take Flight. An exec from another booth started bustin' my nuts for the ugly costume (though it's thousands of times better than last year) and I finally broke and asked him if his mother cut his hair, and if she didn't he should consider getting a real barber because ( Read more... )

My HS-ers had a match tonight and uhm, in my twelve years or so of annually teaching improv to high school students, a few things have changed. There's a LOT more drugs and sex and violence, in the improv they do. When I first started, there were a few vague references to weed and doin' it and such, but tonight Jesus pulled a 357 magnum on an ( Read more... )

Sweet! That was like a good swift kick to the nuts! Ahhh, how refreshing! I forgot how fun it is to go and pretend you care about some product in front of smugly condescending casting directors! Dude's like, 'would you talk like that with your buddies in a bar? You don't need 'announcer' voice, you're not selling anything'. And I'm like 'I wouldn't ( Read more... )

as provided by new representation, is tomorrow. I'm reading for a nutritional video of some kind. I will be sucking in my gut. A lot. A whoooole lot.

...was a lotta fun. BS threw a party and did a show. It was packed. At least as packed as a 49 seat theatre can be packed and at least three quarters of the audience came dressed up. And then the very next day I did an x-box shoot for a buddy got to completely smash up a living room set of sugar glass. Well, mostly sugar glass, we smashed up some ( Read more... )

I have to teach tonight and for the most part I enjoy it...once I get there. I used to have a ten minute bike ride to school and the tiniest of inclines would wind me. A few months later I had an hour ride one way and I could climb mountains like Marco Pantini (not really, not even close actually, but I was in good shape). I have things set up now ( Read more... )

Was the name of Laff Hole tonight. Laff Hole is the flagship show of PROK. PROK is the acronymn for the People's Rebublic of Komedy. Anyway, whenever they do a Halloween show they ask us to do some time. It's a tough show for improv. It's at Chop Suey on Capitol Hill. The stage is squished into the corner and the bar runs along the right side of ( Read more... )

I worry about my irons clanging when I walk my clubs. My brother holds his still with his right hand. I prefer to thumb my shoulder straps and keep the bag tight against my lower back. My dad uses a pull cart ( Read more... )

Seattle schools were closed today because there might be snow. Local news sent reporters into the south end to cover the 'storm'. This poor gal in Puyallup was trying her best to make a story of it. There was some snow on the ground! You see those occasional white patches on the green, green, grass? That's snow! She even went so far as to point out ( Read more... )
