I feel like I have nothing good to say, but since it’s been a long time since I posted because everything has been so busy, I feel like I should say things anyhow.
Hey, guess what! I finally got to see Cute With Chris Live after all these years of trying to get tickets. And it was great. There were only seven people in the audience including myself, which was sad, but kind of good because it meant that afterwards I got to shake the hand of The Man Himself and tell him that I liked his little internet show. But he seemed really bummed that nobody came and apologized for it being so lame and I was all like, it totally wasn’t lame, Chris Leavins, I mean, you introduced me to this clip of a contestant in the Miss Arizona pageant playing the Star Wars theme on a trumpet (badly) and also you were really funny and awesome and I like your white suit. And the show was really thoughtful and sweet, and a really interesting meditation on the internet as mass media and as a vehicle that connects people, and I just liked it quite a bit. If any LA friends feel like checking it out, I’d probably go see it again, because, as former Fringe Festival Co-Maven, I like to support good performance art when I can find it.
And after Cute With Chris I got a Guiness Milkshake! And a giant cheeseburger.
Last night I had a horrible dream wherein I was making out with that sociopath I dated last year, and as a result I have been thinking depressed thoughts about the past all day, BUT THEN! I saw this, which Carly posted, and it made me SO HAPPY because it is pretty wonderful:
And I shall close with a tip to all of you budding undergraduate plagiarists out there: if you are going to cut and paste stuff from a website into your paper, at least change the typeface so that everything matches, ok? It is also a good idea to remove links to other Wikipedia articles.
I just wanted to let you know ,
I read your blog and I love it
Only 7 people turned up to cwc? That sucks, I would have happily been the 8th had an ocean not been in the way!
ahahahahaha! That’s a particularly good tip. I ask you, when did common sense fly out the window?
why were there possibly only 8 people there? that makes no sense…
I am glad to have taken you have from dreams of sociopaths. That video made me so happy.
VV – thank you! I’m glad you like!
I am so sad that there was nobody there! I think most of the local fanbase has probably already seen it – I couldn’t get tickets for the original incarnation, and it’s been running here for a couple weeks already, I think. But it was really awesome meeting him!
My students’ amazing lack of common sense knows no bounds. Sam’s friend visited last weekend, and she works at a special high school for kids who have been kicked out of normal high school, and she was impressed by how awful the papers we have to grade are.
I have been singing I Will Always Love You for days now! Yay Beth Ditto!
