Memo to Josie: Re-queue Netflix to Make This Next

Finally.

I love how they got the sax dude to play a part.

btw - The Lost Boys has one of the best endings in film history (no, not horror film history, all film history).

Thinking Positive

Since I have been married and divorced, Josie asked me why I thought our marriage would work?

I said, "I dunno...law of averages?"

What? No good?

Sigh

MC'ed a show last night - MC'ing at this club isn't my fave thing to do as they pack so many comics into the show, the MC becomes a robot - just going up every six minutes to applaud (again) for the last comic and intro the new guy...and the shows go on for about two and a half hours. joy.

In fact, though a couple of comics ended with jokes perfect for me to do a joke of my own, I chose not to, thinking that every joke I do gets me home that much closer to waking up.

ANYWAY, most annoying thing of the night, actually, it's a tie -

1 - Three or four comics had like four mediocre credits they wanted me to intro them with...How can i put this gently? oh wait, I know...No one gives a crap! Seriously, who at a comedy show cares that you just shot a commercial? Especially if you have some other credit to go with. Do you think the audience will be overpowered by your credits and just start laughing because you were on a soap opera? Or do you just think that mentioning seventeen things you've done equals one Comedy Central credit?!?

2 - One comic, in giving me his/her credits mentioned "Oh, I just got passed at XXX Club, but you don't have to mention that." Now, I KNOW why you're telling me, and that's the reason I'm mentioning this....You want me to either say, "Oh, that's awesome! Good for you!" or you want me to think, "Wow, So and so IS funny!"

Sorry but neither happened...but man, so many friekin' needy comics out there.

UPDATE - Got really cool e-mail from guy who hired me and ran the show, thanking me for a great job - it's stuff like that that keeps me going.

btw - to the (I assume) gentleman who filled out the comment card - one question...

Is your name Native American? Curious cause I've never heard anyone with the name "Suck My Balls!!!"

I Had The Perfect Thing To Say After We Left!

So we met with The Leader last night.

Nice guy, said the right things, asked the right questions (i guess).

One thing he stumped us on...when he asked "Why get married?"

I think we were silent for a few sec cause we weren't quite sure what he was asking, but just in case, I'm gonna be checking the "second thoughts" thread on indiebride.com for anyone posting named "halfmennonitehalfitalianmarryingajew."

Connect Five

So the scrabulous application on Facebook is disabled due to pending litigation from the makers of some game named "Scrabble."

That sucks, but on the bright side, I hear that Facebook is working on a new app...Trivial PurSweet!

Another Call From Mom

Mom called yesterday from the doctor's office where she works.

"Aren't you getting married at Loft 11?"
"Yup."
"Hold on a sec...one of the drug reps here got married there!"
"What? No! Wait!"
"Hello?"
"Umm, hi."
"So, I hear you're getting married at Loft 11."
"Yup...you got married there?"
"Yes...it's a very nice space."
"Yeah, it is."

"So, uhh, how long ago were you married there?"
"A couple of years."
"Uh huh, uh huh."

"Ok, I'm going to put your mom on the line. Good luck!"
"Thanks! You too!"

Checking for Home Office in Waco

We need a non-religious officiant for our wedding so after work, Josie and I are visiting The Leader.

Something tells me I should keep both hands on my 401K.
