Did you guys do a Facebook joke?
The Department just opened for VH1's Best Week Ever Live in front of 700+ in Kane Hall at UW. More or less all the jokes landed, and we warmed up the crowd what good. | | Thursday, September 20th, 2007 | | 9:48 pm |

What's that, Cabinet?

Another damned Collective show advertisement. I'll be in this one--it's tonight and tomorrow (March 2nd and 3rd) at 11:00PM. Free! Improvised! Cabaret Theatre, Hutchinson Hall, UW Campus. | | Friday, February 9th, 2007 | | 1:04 pm |
Those Celtics were a great team.
There's another Collective show! Tonight! 8:30 and 10:30! PM! I won't be performing in them! Or even seeing the 8:30 one! But they will be extremely good and involve LONG FORM IMPROVISATION! And they're FREE! P.S. They are in the Cabaret Theatre in Hutchinson Hall, University of Washington. | | Thursday, November 30th, 2006 | | 8:36 am |
He could think in italics. Such people need watching.
Come see The Collective, UW's best (only) improv troupe! Shows this Friday, Dec 1st, at 8:00pm and 10:00pm in UW's historic Cabaret Theatre in Hutchinson Hall. Admission: free, with an insinuated donation of $1 or $2. (p.s. I'm in The Collective so that's why I'm plugging it) | | Friday, October 13th, 2006 | | 5:46 pm |

I'll see you at the parent-teacher conference.
Hey, everybody. Give blood. Hear me out on this. You don't have to be altruistic, you don't have to be an idealist or even particularly giving. Why's that? Because giving blood more than pays for itself, in terms of happiness. Giving blood in some instances (in my case, in fact) is actually a selfish act. Because in addition to free cookies and pretzels, giving blood gives you a complete and utter sense of total self-righteousness. Was I rude yo you? Doesn't matter, I gave blood today. I hit your car? I don't care, I gave blood today. Did I assassinate that senator? So fucking what, I gave goddamn blood today. For the altruists: Remember when Jenz became almost died became a vampire? Whose blood did he get? Someone's. A person donated that. Two people, actually, since he needed a lot of blood to live become a vampire. "I'm afraid of needles" is not an excuse. "I'm frightened" is not an excuse. "I have AIDS" is a very good excuse, actually. Fear should have nothing to do with it. It's a pinprick. If you don't watch them do it (I prefer not to) then you hardly even notice it. It's not frightening, and you've really got to keep in mind that while maybe getting blood taken out of you is frightening, getting blood put into you is a hells amount more frightening. If other people can stand to get transfusions, maybe you can stand to give a little. If it's really a big issue, then the first time you go I'll come along for moral support. Now's the best time to donate. Summer is a dry season for blood donations as well as weather. If you've got O blood, or any blood, get the fuck to a donation center. ( As added incentive, I'm going to include this humorous conversation about blood donation. ) | | Wednesday, August 2nd, 2006 | | 4:02 pm |

It's got seat warmers to keep your butt warm, and air conditioning to keep your cheeks cool.
I may be overusing the :smith: emoticon lately. For those of you who didn't recognize the small image, it was Tim from the UK Office following one of the most dramatic and freefalling moments in television history. Of course, it's an overdramatization to my situation. But I thought it would convey the message well. To Jenz, at least. I done got rejected again. I had a great, well-formed confident proposal, a way out, and all the hope my rarely optimistic brain could muster. I took her to a frisbee game, where there was a great deal of fun had, we conversated in our whiplash-callback-continuous style, yelling at each other in barely contained mirth for half of it. We went to 14/48, a ridiculously fast theatre festival, with two friends, afterwards cooled off in a fountain in Capitol Hill, where we were confronted by a bum who claimed to be Long Beard Silver Something, and then went home. I decided that I had to make my stand, when I got home. Katrina: so I was trying to think up a really nice not abrupt and crappy way to say this, but I can't think of one and I doubt there is one, so I give up. Katrina: I'm already dating someone right now Yep. There's a larger story to it, which is true for most things, but I don't particularly feel like sharing it in such a broad way. Luckily, the ease with which we converse is also alleviating the awkwardness. (just after a three minute pause) Katrina: just so I'm clear, we are currently both just sitting in front of our computers doing nothing waiting for the other person to say something, right? Me: yeah, that's pretty much it As I've mentioned earlier, though, I only have the capacity to be depressed for one day at a time, and I already had that day for this particular event about a week ago. So I'm more extremely tired and zombie-like. Oh, and Paul--all pigbuckets are hereby reinstated, along with the following: You are a pigbucket. | | 2:35 am |

You know, stuff like "fleece it out", "going mach five", "dinkin' flicka".
I was being driven to Seattle the other day by a friend of mine, and she subscribes to a number of those minor driving superstitions--kissing your hand and thumping the roof when running a yellow light, that sort of thing. As we drove through the tunnel, she held her breath and afterwards explained that if you hold your breath through a tunnel and make a wish, it will come true. She then said "I wish for the same thing every time." I thought for a moment about what that could be, and that it was probably something private and/or profound, like peace or love or something. I opened my mouth to say something. "Wh-" "Super speed." I am eternally grateful that I have so many friends, of such great caliber.

I talk as if nobody's listening, I dance as if nobody's watching, and I eat as if nobody's hungry.
 Also: Anyone who is free should come to see me do some stand-up at Giggles in Seattle again. It starts at 9:00, there's a $5 cover charge, all ages welcome, and it'll be pretty cool. The address is: Giggles Comedy Club 5220 Roosevelt Way N.E. Seattle Wash, 98105 Directions: Take I-5 North until you get to the 50th Street exit, take the exit, then turn right. Go a block past Roosevelt, turn left, and find parking/get out the car. Giggles is on Roosevelt, past 52nd. I'm working from 11:30 to 8:00 today, so if you need help getting there or if you desperately need a ride and don't live far from the downtown Bellevue QFC, then give me a call, and I'll see what I can do. | | Saturday, July 1st, 2006 | | 6:57 pm |
If you cut off one of your fingers I will concede that your job is worse.
Recently I was having a conversation online with Aaron about vaguely philosophical things, and for some reason I asked him "What is the most important thing?", then asked him to explain it in a couple of sentences. This struck me as a very right thing to do, so I asked everyone I talk with online the same pair of questions. Some answers were immediate and forthcoming, others more niggling. The question is vague and unanswerable, certainly. So I'm going to reveal the more or less complete answers of all seventeen people I asked (including myself). Since I didn't tell people I'd be sharing these, I'll remove the names and shuffle them up a bit. ( But until that happens I refuse. )Among those are two philosophy majors, eight people who post here, and myself. | | Wednesday, June 28th, 2006 | | 10:22 pm |
THINGS THAT MAY COST YOU A LIFETIME OF FRIENDSHIP:
I'm getting back into stand-up comedying. That means open-mic nights, repeatedly, so as to refine my material. Tomorrow (Thursday) night, I plan on going to Giggles comedy club in the U District. If anyone wants to come and see it, it starts at 9:00 (they don't do any admission after 9:00, they say) and is at this address: Giggles Comedy Club 5220 Roosevelt Way N.E. Seattle Wash, 98105 As an added incentive, I'd like to share with you my top secret comedy making process (WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS TO PLOTLESS MONOLOGUE): ( rampant murderism, incurable stealie-o-holicism, terminal punchiness )So, uh. Come by, I guess. Also, if someone does not read this and might want to come, tell them about it. I'll be doing more of them anyway, so don't worry too much. I have more than five minutes of material, but I am going to be repeating bits between nights so as to refine them. | | Sunday, June 11th, 2006 | | 12:23 pm |
