Up in the sky... Its rain
Tuesday night, I went to the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater to catch Harold night. T.R.U.C.K.S., fwand, tantrum and 1985 performed and they we all awesome. I was thinking about going out but I ended up going home.
When I got home I watched the new TBS show My Boys. I didn't enjoy this show. It ended up feeling like a romantic comedy movie but as a sitcom goes, it didn't work for me. 10 Items or Less is actually good.
Yeasterday I started cleaning my bedroom and I straightened my closet up. I found a couple things I have been looking for. Later I watched Harold and Kumar go to White Castle. I hadn't see the movie in a long time. After the movie I headed to White Castle, I got me six sliders and fries. Feeling bloated I walked around, trying to exercise the belly bombs out.
I went home and saw I had a message on myspace from Tim. He said he migh now make it to Improdome but he would call if he could. I watched some older episodes of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Then Phlip called me to say he was still involved in his move and wouldn't be able to make it to perform that evening.
I headed to the PIT in the late evening, expecting to be there alone. While I was waiting Danny and Vicki showed up. Vicki went to see Danny perform and after he was done, she told Danny that she was heading up to Improdome. So they both headed up. A few minutes later Brandon showed up.
We went inside and since Danny has never played before, he joined me and Brandon on Separated at Birth. I thought we were going to two man teams but Vicki sat out. I wish Vicki played because she is so good. I did meet some more people and saw some cuties too. I had a good time regardless.
Tonight I am going to see Cage Match at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. I contacted Amy and Anne ro see either of them would like to join me. Tonight is also 30 Rock so its a good evening.

Late night blogging
Yesterday was uneventful. I paid some bills and waited for my Monday night shows. I watched Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and it was as enjoyable as I thought it would be. I watched some of 10 or Less on TBS and it was kinda funny. I also ordered tickets for Improv Everywhere at Mo Pitkins for next Monday.
Today I woke up and watched the movie Prime with Uma Thurman. It was one of those movies that surprised me and kept my interest even though it was a romantic comedy. After the movie I scrubbed my bathroom and cleaned my shower. It was a fufilling ritual. I got a delivery of some clothes and that was a good thing. I checked the PIT calendar and saw that Beyond Improdome will not be happening this weekend and is switching to Mondays for a while. I also bsaw Danny is performing around town again and I made arrangements to see him at New York Comedy Club.
Tonight is Harold night at UCB and I plan on going, later My Boys is premiering on TBS and I am TiVo'ing it. I don't feel like going out but a part of me feels like conquering territory. I will probably come home after the show. Tomorrow is Improdome at the PIT and I am hoping everyone can make it, I know Phlip said he might have issues. We shall see tomorrow.

Doo be doo be doo
Yesterday I had brunch with Max and Alaina. We had mamosas and recapped about the weekend. After brunch we headed back to Alaina's house and watched TV for a bit. We watched several videos of The Girls Next Door, which I love because it makes me feel smarter and laugh at the stupidity. We also watched some Pimp My Ride.
After all the TV watching it was already evening. We went to have dinner at Fiddlesticks. It was chilly and it was a little chilly in the pub also. The bread they serve there is great and the food portions are good.
I departed from Alaina and Max and took a cab to Boulevard Tavern to see the gang and celebrate Harold's birthday. I got to the bar and chatted with Paul for a while, I saw Tim Doyle leaving and only got to share quick words with him. I saw Ria and we talked about the Raven situation. Harold and I talked about everything under the sun. Stevie brought dumplings and the best birthday cake.
I left planning on taking a yellow cab home but being to sleepy I just didn't have the patience to hunt. I walked to the L train and waited a bunch but caught a train back and took a cab for the remaining distance.
I loved it how my Tivo knows to record Family Guy when I forget or I am not watching TV. I forget what I fell alseep to but I slept fine until I woke up to the sound of jackhammers right outside my window. They were redo'ing the sidewalk. I feel lkke checking out if I could write my initials in it but I don't feel like having to explain that to a higher authority about it.
Tonight I am happy because Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip is on later. Tomorrow I have some new clothes arriving. Tomorrow night is Harold night at UCB.

S.A.T.U.R.D.A.Y. NIGHT
Last night I was due to perform at the PIT with my team "Separated at Birth" but I was too tired and detoxing from the night before. I watched some crappy movies, ordered in food and slacked. Phlip did call me asking if I was going to the PIT and I told him that Brandon was out of town and so was Vicki. Tim didn't get back to me. I thought based on that , it would have been a small crowd anyway.
Tonight I am at UCB watching the 3x3 finals. I saw Phlip at the door because he now interns at the theater. So far I had 2 PBRs and didn't eat before I went out so I feel like Tara Reid. Derrick and Fortune Cookie will be performing at 11 because they passed the first level of the semi-finals. I will continue this as I have news
...
Sorry, I didn't finish the blog last night. Who won last night? Presidents of Roo Roo. They here just awesome. C,C + C Improv Factory got second place.
I went home afterwards because four beers got me sleepy since I didn't have dinner. I got home and ordered a pizza from Ray's. I made plans with friends to have brunch today and I am excited about that because I am hungry. Later on I think I have a party to go to. I know my friend Phlip is moving and I hope it goes smooth. He said he might not be able to make it to battle at Improdome on Wednesday at the PIT. I haven't heard from Tim, I hope he is having fun. So it is up in the air who will show up on Wednesday. Tuesday I think I am going to Harold night at UCB. Thursday should be a highlight because Mailer Daemon is battling Project Improviser at Cage-Match at UCB. Friday, Separated at Birth should be at the PIT for Improdome.

Cold turkey
Yesterday was Thanksgiving and I have a lot of stuff to be thankful for. I was supposed to go out for Thanksgiving dinner with Julia. I had reservations and three hours before we were due at the restaurant, she called up and cancelled. Even better, she said "we never had plans to go out and eat". Whatever, fool me once...
I cooked a large italian meal for myself and I watched TV and waited for the evening to come. Gustav text'ed me saying he was at his aunt's place 6 blocks away. He said he was going to come over after their meal. Max and Alaina also text'ed me saying they would call after they were on the way home.
Gustav came over and brought some dessert over for me. I had my fridge stocked up with enoungh beverages. I called Revival and it appeared that they were closed. We watched some videos from Improv Everywhere. Max and Alaina called and said they would come over also since the bars appeared to be closed.
The four of us watched Six String Samurai and some of Pirates, the porn. It was almost 2:00am when Max and Alaina called it a night. Gustav decided to spend the night on my couch.
I woke up this morning at 10:00am with Gustav knocking on my bedroom door. I really would have liked to kill him. He was bored and was going to leave. I don't know how he could be bored with the TV, DVD and Playstation... Books too. He left and I couldn't get back to sleep. I had some egg nog and watched some TV on the couch and I crashed out for another three or four hours.
Tonight I am wondering if I should ask Max and Alaina if they want to have dinner. I don't know if they are going to the PIT with me tonight. I think my improv team, Separated at Birth, was going to get together tonight at the PIT. I have to mail them and double check.

Too much Harry Potter
Yesterday was an ok day. I had a phone conference to deal with. It didn't go as planned but it was ok. Later I was due to show up at 1849 for my friend Amy's birthday.
When I got to 1849, the place was packed. I went to the back where the bar is. I ordered a drink and after I turned around I found Amy. I was happy because I was worried that I wouldn't find her. I was introduced to some of her friends and hung around for an hour and I told her I had to go. Alaina was on her way to 1849 but I text'ed her that I would meet her half way. We ended up going to a diner like place for food and drink. I took a cab to Revival and then got home about 2:00am.
I woke up about 9:00am and checked the email. Nothing interested on my hot plate today. I have to go to the bank and deposit a check. Improdome is happening at the PIT but I don't expect many people to be there so I am going to opt out of tonight.

Two for Tuesday
Sunday I went to see Megan perform at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. When I got there I saw Brandon and Vicki standing outside. We went in and sat down and while we were waiting for the show to start, Dawn also arrived. The show started and there were several great scenes. The first beat of Gothic holiday planning was very funny. Megan performed in the second group of players and was very funny with her 13 year old marriage. After the show I thought we would all hang out but Vicki, Brandon and Megan rushed in one direction and Dawn was doing something else. I was going to go see the project at the PIT but I didn't want to go by myself.
Later I got a call from Alaina. She said she was sorry that we couldn't do brunch but enjoyed me commenting about Pimp My Ride in Portugal with Lil Jon. I told her I didn't want to go to the PIT and see the Project by myself. She said she would have gone but she had work to catch up on.
Last night I saw Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip which has entertained. I didn't do anything much more. I did order food for Rays Pizza, more food than I was prepared to eat but having it as left-over's. I got to bed early after closing the windows.
Today I woke up after a good healthy sleep. I think I left better since I haven't been to the bar in several days. This body is clensed. I sat down and watched my TiVo. It recorded The Jim Henson Company's Puppet Up! Uncensored last night. It was an Improv show done with puppets. As far it being uncensored, it was bleeped out a bit. So wheb they were talking about uncensored, maybe they were talking ahout the audience point of view because they filmed in front of a live audience. It was eh so-so, just gameprov and sometime missing its mark but it probably is super hard to do.
Today I have a phone conference to do in the afternoon. Later I am attending Amy's birthday at a place called 1849. Friday I will see everyone at the PIT again.

A little good a little bad
Friday I went to the post office to get a certified letter that was waiting for me. When the clerk went to hand me the letter, I saw the flash of the IRS logo. I just sighed and said oh sh*t. I opened it and the IRS is asking for more money from the year 2004.
Friday night I headed to Revival to have a couple drinks to relax for the performance at the PIT later on. On my way down there I received a call from Vertigo. He was wondering what I was doing for the evening. I told him I would call him when I got to Revival and then he showed up with Jen. He showed up a little late so I only got to spend 30 minutes talking to them. I had to run out, because I was running late myself. I called Tim because I saw he, Brandon and Phlip all tried calling me. I was supposed to meet them outside the PIT.
When I got to the PIT Tim, Brandon, and Phlip were waiting. We had a small dilemma, we had four people and teams are are only three large. We decided to do two man teams. We went inside that Tim and Brandon would be on one team and Phlip and I on the other. Tim and Brandon were known as Balls Deep and Phlip and I were known as the returning champions.
By random picking, Balls Deep went first. It was awesome, Tim and Brandon were so funny, I didn't laugh as hard with other teams. They were outright hysterical. Max and Alaina showed up right after the Balls Deep were done but they did see them from the sidelines.
Phlip and I went a couple of teams later and we were good. We had a scene that didn't work as well but we survived. The winner was a team Sparkle Kitten something. We left the theater and headed to Triple Crown. We all had one drink and all left to our own interests.
I decided to return to Revival. The place was packed and I could only have one drink because the place was getting on my nerves. I left and jumped into a cab home and I forgot my cell phone at the bar. I had to return and I got my cell phone. I decided to walk north and I ended stopping at Black Bear Lounge for a drink. They were closing up and there was a lot of pressure, I felt, to down my drink fast.
I left the bar and headed to my local diner and got some breakfast. It was ok but it isn't too much fun sitting by myself in the middle of the restaurant. I survived and ate my meal. I went home right after.
Saturday I edited some pitured and put them online. I emailed some people about Danny's performance at Don't Tell Mama. No one emailed me letting me know if they were going or not so I took a nap. I ened up sleeping util 5:00 this morning. I did wake up earlier but it was like 10pm. It was in the middle of Comic Relief. I tivo'ed it so I could watch it later.
After watching Comic Relief I was inspired to donate some money. It is a real shame that New Orleans still needs a benefit large as Comic Relief to get people their homes rebuilt so long after the disaster.
Today I am going to see Megan's perform at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. Later I am going to see The Project at the PIT, The Stongers, Gift of the Wild and Bright Eyes will be performing. Maybe Alaina and Max want to have brunch this morning.

Planning for classes again
Wednesday night was fun. I met Phlip, Brandon, Vicki and Megan outside the PIT in preparation battle in Improdome. Since we can only have 3 man teams, Vicki joined forces with Megan and a girl we just met, Kelly.
We didn't get called first this time but we got called fifth. Our first couple of scenes were ok but we started to come unglued towards the end. Vicki and her team did great. The winners of the night were a team that used the musical help of a clarinet.
After the show, everyone had to split. I decided to got back to Revival and drink a bit. I saw Greg and Naomi, it was nice to see them, I said hello. After a bit, Kevin showed up and I talked with him a while about everything. The bar closed early and Kevin and I walked next door to Shades of Green. We closed the bar and I went home.
Yesterday I didn't do much of anything. I searched the Upright Citizens Brigade site for new classes. Two 301 classes were posted while seven 201 classes were posted. The 301 classes sold out in about an hour. I think a lot of my classmates jumped into one but I think there are a bunch still waiting to get into a class.
I set a message to Starr Kendall, getting him a picture of "Separated at Birth" for the MySpace and blog site. I checked it and found it posted at http://myspace.com/improdome and at http://improdome.blogspot.com/
Today I have to pick up a letter from the post office and copy some DVDs. Later I am meeting Tim, Phlip and hopefully Brandon and Vicki. We are supposed to defend our title at Beyond Improdome.

Drop it like its hot
Gotta get this sleep thing under control. Yesterday was cool. I got some new pants delivered to me by the UPS guy. I tried them all on and they fit, which means a) I need to loose weight and b) I don't need to leave the house to buy clothes.
Last night I went to the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater to see Harold night. I saw T.R.U.C.K.S. And fwand. An interesting night, fwand changed its opening and editing. I am not totally sure if I enjoyed it as much as their invocation and sweep edits. I wasn't feeling up to staying for the second set. I decided to go to Revival and I saw Alex there. He reminded me that I missed his party but I had Vicki's party the same night. I saw two girls on their first lesbian date and it was interesting to see a lesbian date as awkward as a straight one. I talked to them when I had a cigarette but one of them wasn't as talkative. I closed the bar with Alex and walked home. I stopped for Papaya Dog and some cheese fries.
Tonight I will be going to the PIT to perform in the Improdome. My team 'Separated at Birth' didn't win on Wednesday but we did on Friday. It should be interesting tonight. I did see the girl I have a crush on at the bar but I didn't get introduced to her yet. I am patient. Tonight I don't know what team members will show up, I believe Brandon will and I know Phlip planned. If Vicki shows up, maybe I will sit out since she didn't play on Friday.
Its Wednesday so Danielle and Melanie should be at the bar. Maybe I will show up before the show.

Tomorrow is only a day away
Today wasn't a creative day. I got some lunch from the Subway around the corner but the lettuce was old and the roast beef was flavorless. I then looked on the web and I saw Scene Interactive had a video podcast. I saw a video the other day from You Tube with their content. Anyway I searched Itunes for more podcasts and found a bunch but they are all outdated. I did watch one that date wasn't important called Trophy Wife, a team performing a harold. It was good and an interesting download.
Tonight I wanted to go out and visit the bar but my eye started itching. I looked in the mirror and saw that I wound up with a stye. Not the best looking accessory to my head. I hated Deal or No Deal and it held my interest. Probably because my IQ is low today. I am currently watching Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Its an ok program but I have to take what I can get. I have having Lost withdrawal.
Tomorrow I plan on going to the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater for Harold night. I emailed Phlip but he can't go, I should email Brandon to remind him. Wednesday I think a bunch of us are going to Improdome at the PIT. Thursday I go to the 3x3 tournament at UCB. Friday is Beyond Improdome at The PIT and my team 'Separated at Birth' should be defending our title. Brandon said he might not make it due to work but I am crossing my fingers. I also would like to get a group photo of us and Vicki too.

Here's how it happened
Yesterday I met Brandon and Phlip at Trailer Park before our performance. No one else showed up even though I sent an email. After a drink and some food we headed to the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. When we got to the corner of the block we saw Tim, Danny and Chris. We headed down to the theater at 5:00pm.
We did some warm ups and came up with the name 'The Cast of Lost'. We waited backstage and went on at 5:35pm. We did two different sets because there were only 9 of us; Jackson, Vicki, Ryan, Chris, Danny, Brandon, Phlip, Tim and me. I had a pedophile in a van scene that was good but other scenes were a little off.
After the performance me and my friends; Max, Alaina, Julia, wolfgame, Eric and Christine went to Molly Wee for some drinks. Brandon and Tim with their friends arrived soon after. We waited at Molly Wee will about 8pm. Then we went to Vicki's party.
Vicki threw a great party. I met a bunch of people and got to hang out with Danny, Brandon and Chris. We were there late and then we headed to a piano bar. From there I went home.
Today nothing happened. I watched the Simpsons and then Family Guy. Tomorrow I don't have anything planned, we will play it by ear I guess.

Fame... I want to live forever
Yesterday was an ok day. Not too much happened. Just was looking forward to the evening's activities. I watched that new game show 1 vs. 100 and remeinded myself that I need to send a video and pictures to be on the show. After the show I watched half of Las Vegas.
I headed down to Revival to have a drink or two. I also wanted to see Melanie and tel her I have been performing at The PIT. I saw John there and we talked about improv and he bought me a drink. He did smke a bunch of my cigarettes. Ben was there and he thought my haircut was good. John wanted to seeme perform that evening but I told him, probably not worth it, I didn't feel I had my A game.
I took a cab up to the PIT and I waited for Brandon, Phlip and Vicki. Brandon and Phlip showed but I heard from Brandon that Vicki wasn't showing up. It was ok because we still had a three man team to called Separated at Birth. We saw Tim again from DC and talked with him a bunch. We then went inside put our team name in a hat and then waited. It wasn't long because again, our team was picked first.
We got out there with a lot of energy and did a lot of active scenes. We probably did 6 or 7 scenes within the 9 minutes of time. I didn't feel strong about our performance but I don't know if Brandon or Phlip did either. We watched the other performances and saw the defending champions. At the end we voted and hen we found out the result, we we shocked. They announced 'Separated by Birth' as the new champions of Beyond Improdome. After that I went for some hotdogs and went to bed.
Today I woke up with energy. I am meeting classmates for late lunch and drink before our performance. I have to be at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater by 5pm because we go on at 5:30pm. Gustav, Alaina, Max, Wolfgame should be going. I don't know who else will show up. Vicki's party is later tonight and I will be there for a bit and then around town maybe.

Subject: Superstar or die trying...
Yesterday the weather was amazing. It was like 70 degrees and I had to put some fans on. I cleaned my living room and I have to say I am super happy about it. I think I will have to clean other rooms soon too.
Last night I went to meet Max and Alaina at the UCB theater to see the 3x3 competition. They came along with Matt whom I met once before. Some real good teams got to advance such as Sexy Ladies, Hot Sauce as well as the Wild Card team. Eric Scott was on the wildcard team but it appeared that he carried the team.
After the show we decided to get something to eat and winded up at Jake's Saloon. The food is good there but some entrees are expensive. I got some chicken fingers and they were good. The cajun fries were great too.
Today I had trouble sleeping so I watched Rachel Ray and saw Molly Simms trying to cook. I saw Bob Saget on Megan Mullally but had to turn the channel when Sue Johansen, the sex expert, come on the show. I napped a bunch too. I did see a movie before I napped called SubUrbia. It was labeled a comedy. Well it might be a little comical in parts but it ends pretty fucked up. I wasn't terribly amused.
Tonight I am meeting Vicki, Phlip and Brandon at the PIT for Beyond Improdome. It is $5 tonight which is weird but we shall see. After that I am supposed to go to Alaina's for a Star Wars party.

Here we go...
Friday I did get my haircut. It is definitely different. I do think Raymond did a good job. It makes me feel like a whole new person. After the haircut I went to Double Down to see if Jamie or Donald were working. They weren't so I only had one drink and then I left. I then headed to Revival. One the way Julia called to see what I was doing. I told her I was going to Revival. When I got to Revival Alaina called and said she wanted to meet me at the bar. We drank a couple drinks and then we headed to McCorrmics were we met up with Bobcat, Akira, Vertigo, Max and Wolfgame. We had food and drank. After we got our bill we headed to Black Bear Lounge. We drank there till close. I had Bobcat and Julia speand the night.
Saturday, me and Bobcat headed to Trailer Park for some dinner and drinks. He was to buy the next drink so we headed to Molly Wee. They were crowded so we left for Blarney Stone. The were crowded as well so we went to Blarney Rock. We waited for a table and had a drink. Bobcat left and I headed home. I slept for the rest of the evening.
Sunday before class I looked for some new clothes. I went to Old Navy and didn't think I wanted to spend $40 on Old Navy jeans. I went to Gap but they didn't have regular jeans in my size. I will probably go back to Old Navy.
I went to my last improv class later that day. It was a good class except the first scenes I did. Later Phlip and I were performing together and we did a great job. After class we were supposed to meet Becca at Molly Wee. All of the classmates split except me and Phlp. We had two drinks and then caught the train, they were heading to Williamsburg and I was going to Revival .
I was at Revival all night. I saw Ingri and chatted up a storm with her. I also saw Mike, Alex, Julia, Frank and Kevin. Drank a bunch until Alex decided to close the place. Kevin the drove us to some bar on Avenue B.
Today I went out for a subway sandwich and napped. Tomorrow I will go to Harold night. Wednesday I will be going to the Peoples Improv Theater to perform I think. Thursday will be the 3x3 competition. Friday I won't be drinking. Saturday I perform at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater.
Its raining, its pouring...
Tuesday night I went to Harold night at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater and save Beverly Hills and Tantrum. I left after the first two teams because there was no PBR. I was just getting figitity. After the show I headed to Subway for some food and tried to go to sleep. I have been having trouble sleeping lately and I found myself waking up at 4:30am. I decided to go for a walk because I was hungry. I looked for some 24 hour places but they were not around. I decided to get a Papaya Dog and call it a night.
Yesterday I found my Vonage line still screwed up. I never had trouble like this before. I cannot make outgoing calls and my number for incoming calls is out of service. Vonage keeps on saying they fixed the problem but they never do. The best part about it they charged me for it. Must be that 13 tatoo.
Deanna called me later that day on my cell. She told me she was sick. I told her about my haircut. She said she was now back at home and I told her she should visit soon because I have been performing more and more. I mentioned that I was to battle at the PIT later that evening.
LOST came on and I was glued to the TV. It was the last episode until February. I don't remember them doing that last year so I wonder what will be in that timeslot for the remaining months. The did leave it on a good cliff hanger or two.
Right after LOST I headed to the PIT to meet fellow improv people to play Improdome. I was the first to get there and I waited to see who showed up. Vicki was next to show up and we chatted it up a bit. It was funny to find out we have the same birthday. Brandon showed up and we waited till 10:45 to see if anyone would show up.
Since we never saw Improdome I wasn't as eager to perform but since there were only three of us, I decided that I would be part of the team. We discussed what out team name would be. We started with Green Corporal Twins but then we thought of Separated at Birth. When we sat inside and then Vicki submitted our team info. As the show started, we awaited to see what team was picked to go. Funny as it may be, we were picked first. Our suggestion was Hotdogs. Brandon and Vicki did the first scene, I then edited them and I then did a scene with Brandon. Vicki edited us and I started a scene with Vicki but our time ran out pretty quickly. We were applauded and people laughed during our scene so I found it to be fun.
We saw a guy named Tim perform that we met earlier and he had so much talent. It was great to see him perform and go places I haven't been or tried yet. He ened up going with two different teams which took him out of the running for champion but the teams didn't care. We were told people were going to Triple Crown afterwards, so we ended up there.
When we left Triple Crown I talked with Brandon and Vicki as we walked. They said that when we talked with some people in the bar we received an insult from one performer. He implied that there was a class on the weekend at the PIT that we might want to attend. He went on to say it was a class that taught the fundamentals. Funny burn.
I said bye to Vicki and Brandon while I jumped into a cab and headed to Revival. I was scared they were closed but I soon found out they weren't. Danielle was working and suprized by my hair. I met a friend or hers that Deanna also knows, Caroline. I also saw Steve and Adam. I had a couple drinks, left and then went to McDonalds. I got home at 4:00am.
Today I got up rather early and have no particular plans. Tonight I am going to the 3x3 competition at the Upright Citizens Brigade and Friday I am going to meet our newly formed team at the PIT for Beyond Improdome. I also have a party to go to on Friday. Saturday is another performance.

Breaking tommEE pickles
Its Tuesday and the first thing that comes to mind is Fuck Vonage. I wanted to change my Vonage number and since I placed the request the Vonage router does not work. I cannot get a dialtone. Now I have to use my cell phone for everything. Thank God I still have internet.
Last night was all about clensing and recovery. Sunday night was a doozy. I didn't end up doing anything except searching for hotel rooms for birthdaycon. Turns out that I will only be celebrating my birthday over the Thursday through Sunday. Hotels are just too expensive during the CES.
I just ordered food and I am waiting for the delivery. I am watching Breaking Bonaduce. Such comedy. Tonight is Harold night at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater and I intend to go. Wednesday is Improdome at the PIT and I am going to check it out. Thursday is the 3x3 competition at Upright Citizens Brigade. Friday I have a party to go to but I might perform at the PIT. Saturday I perform at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater.

After class we were supposed to meet Becca at Molly Wee. All of the classmates split except me and Phlp. We had two drinks and then caught the train, they were heading to Williamsburg and I was going to Revival .
I was at Revival all night. I saw Ingri and chatted up a storm with her. I also saw Mike, Alex, Julia, Frank and Kevin. Drank a bunch until Alex decided to close the place. Kevin the drove us to some bar on Avenue B.
Today I went out for a subway sandwich and napped. Tomorrow I will go to Harold night. Wednesday I will be going to the Peoples Improv Theater to perform I think. Thursday will be the 3x3 competition. Friday I won't be drinking. Saturday I perform at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater.

Send a SASE to Pueblo, CO
So today wasn't active but it was interesting. I suppose the most interesting item today was waking up from a nap and remembering the best dream ever. I had the most vivid dream, I was laying in my bed (clothed) with Brittney Spears. She hung out with me before she was supposed do a talk show downstairs. She came back up and chatted more, getting closer to my face. She then told me that she wished I wasn't so macho when she first met me. She siad it would have helped me to date her instead of gay Kevin. I said what was wrong with me being macho. She just replied that I traveled the world too much. I told her I couls never be in her world. Then we kissed. I woke up right after that. It was awesome.
I watched a couple previews today. I wasn't aware that there was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movie coming out. This one is different because is it animated. I saw the trailer for Recognizing Your Saints and would like to see it but I think I would like to wait for the DVD because it looks emotionally powerful. I don't like crying to a movie in front of my friends. I do think I want to see Stranger than Fiction when it comes out. It looks like Will Ferrell did good with this one.
I did successfully get a hold of Raymond at Patricia Field and confirmed an appointment for tomorrow. I just wished he did the appointment later in the day but it is Friday and I understand that he probably wants to get out of there as fast as possible. I am thinking about asking a Jimmy Fallon type of haircuit. Pretty dramatic if you have seen my hair in the past. We will see.
My friend Tina was supposed to get a hold of me yesterday so I emailed her today. She got back to me apologizing about her busy life. She siad she would like to drop by tomorrow and maybe do something else later. We shall play it by ear. I kind of would like to hit Death by Roo Roo at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater.
Right now I am debating going to the 3x3 competition. It is colder tonight that the past two days and I am already undressed. I am watching Hacking Democracy right now on HBO about the voting machines. I am definitely going to make a DVD of this and give it to Harold at Boulevard Tavern. We will see in an hour if I want to go to UCB.
Damn you LOST
Last night I got my fix of Lost and then by the end I was sweating and shaking for more. I know that it is supposed to end in cliff hangers but some of cliff hangers from season one are still not answered. How is this all going to end? I won't post any spoilers since some of my pals are trying to catch up.
After Lost, I headed down to Revival to get a couple of drinks. I was expecting to see Kevin but I only saw Danielle and Adam working. It was pretty quiet. When I first got to the bar, Danielle was outside smoking. She said that I just missed Julia by 20 minutes. It was weird because I didn't think she would be out. I wonder if everything was ok. Inside we traded stories from Halloween and just random thoughts. I had a couple of drinks and left about 2:00am. I walked across the park to go to McDonalds and got a Quarter Pounder with Cheese and fries. I noticed I didn't get any Monopoly game pieces. I ate it as I walked back to my place and went to bed soon after.
I woke up this morning and reminded myself I have stuff to do. I duplicated some DVD media and checked online for the McDonalds Monopoly game. I found out the stopped the promotion on October 31st. Seems a short time for the game October 1st - 31st. It seems someone would have to eat lots of crap to win any prizes of value.
I turned on the tube and watched some Rachel Ray and then the View came on an made me run for the remote. Rosie and the gang actually spoke about vibrators and it started making me sick. I looked online for the number of the Patricia Fields on Bowery because I need to make an appointment but I fould out they didn't open until 12 Noon.
Right now I am watching Arthur 2: On the Rocks. It is definitely not a good follow up to the original. It isn't a great start of the day but I need to wait to see when I am to get a haircut before I head out the door. Tonight I am thinking about heading to UCB to see the first qualifiers of the 3x3 competition. I was supposed to see Saw III again with Max but I haven't heard from him in days.

About last night
Yesterday was Halloween and I was excited to get dressed up. I needed sunglasses and batteries but didn't feel like leaving the house yet. Julia mailed me saying she wanted to come over to use my computer. She needed to send out some resumes. She came over and spent about an hour or so playing on my computer. After she was done we walked out together and I went to Eckert. I found a pair of sunglasses that were perfect for my costume and the batteries I needed for half the price of Radio Shack.
I got home and got dressed. As I was getting dressed, someone called me inquiring about my availability to work. They weren't calling at such a good time because I had places to go but I humored the caller anyway. She wasn't clear on the job and she stressed the importance of certifications. We got into it then because of my disbelief of the certification value.
I left home heading down to Revival and the kids were out and some houses on the street were decorated. I got to Revival and I saw Melanie, Alex, and Zoe. I got a couple of drinks and then I headed up to the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater to meet Max and Alaina to see Demon Halloweenus. Bill called to see what I was doing and he said he would meet up with us too.
The show was good, Chris Kula, Anthony King and Jonathan Gabrus were funny. Gil Ozeri was in a funny Saw-like scene that involved two retarded people who were chained up in a room who had to kill each other with pudding. Well, long story short, pudding was all over. Some got into the audience. The poor interns cleaned the stage for 20 minutes , stopping the show for a bit.
After the show we headed in a cab down to Revival again but Max decided to go home with Alaina. Bill decided to hang around for a drink. I saw Mike and then Dave and Kel came in. Then Devin and Kevin arrived. Later George, Frank, Dave, Kim, Melanie, John and Zoe. It was getting crazier and stupid as the night went on. Devin was running around like crazy go nuts. I don't know what time we left but I know it was past bar close.
Today I had a hair appointment but Dave informed me that my old stylist Raymond who used to work at Ultra is actually doing hair at Patricia Fields. I knew that Raymond moved over to Patricia Fields but I didn't know he was cutting hair there. I cancelled my appointment with Jose today and I will be making an appointment with Raymond soon.
Lost is on tonight and that is my main objective. I might make a visit to Revival to have a drink with Kevin and Danielle but I don't want to stay late. I am watching Goonies right now and its putting me in the mood for adventure.
