Approaching an update
Jun. 12th, 2006 05:11 pmSo...I can't remember the details of my dream last night at all. All I remember is that I was at a dinner party, and I was sitting across from Stephen Colbert. He was quite sarcastic with me. On more than one occasion, he just responded to something I said by raising one eyebrow and staring at me. Thanks for making me feel so uncomfortable, Stephen Colbert!
Wouldn't that be great if that was the whole update? :) No such luck, my friends. I'll keep it brief, though. ( Sorta. )
Which brings me to today, which I basically took off from cards to try and catch up with life a little bit. I burned through my snailmail, which is basically becoming less and less relevant to my life. I tried to settle some open issues pending my attention in my Inbox. I caught up with some LJ and other online reading and such...just general maintenance. I also fled the house in order to camp out at the local library and leech off their wireless. You know what they have in the men's room here? An array of home-printed signs imploring, "Please Do Not Shave." I guess there was a problem with that here recently? I gotta wonder what they have against it, though. Sometimes...you just gotta shave.
Anyhoo...I suppose that's about it. I think big changes may be coming soon, but I don't know. There's probably also things going on that I should blog about, but I don't know about that either. I don't know a lot, apparently. :) Ah, which brings me to another point: I smoked a pack of cigarettes over the course of this past weekend, so that sucked. Well, no, it was actually quite nice. :) But what it means is that I'm back in withdrawal, and therefore not a lot of use to anyone. I imagine the fallout will be much less severe than it was a couple weeks ago, but still...no fun. Funny how you can binge drink for a night and then be messed up the next morning...maybe even much of the day. But a cigarette hangover...that's like a week of regret, man. :) But anyway...so there's that.
There's also yet another article out there about the science of happiness. Okay, it's not really an article; it's a speech. Still. I found it interesting, and I shall link to it here. I do not, frankly, remember where I picked up the link, so it has to go unattributed for now. All I know is that I'm linking to it because it goes well with the last happiness article I linked to from this post. Yeah.
In other news, a bunch of Whose Line people are hitting Atlantic City. Actually, just this weekend, Wayne Brady performed at the Borgata. I don't really go to shows or anything, but I might have liked to have swung by that one, just to see if anyone shouted, "Oh, shit! It's Wayne Brady, son!" or anything similar. If not, I would have to. Anyway, in more useful news (like...about stuff that hasn't already happened), Caesar's is having a show soon with Colin, Brad, and Greg. I think that one's in early July; I keep seeing a poster for it on my way to the Trop. Neato. Don't think I'll be going to that one, either, but hey. (I mean...look, if Colin shows up in a pink tutu, I'm just going to burst into tears. I'd rather not risk it.) Anyway, I just thought I'd mention that. I don't often get to mention anything about Atlantic City. :)
Anyhoo. Despite my complete lack of blogging, recent days have actually seen a lot of emotional turmoil from my end. I realize it's been a really long time since I've blogged about anything personal (or...let's face it...interesting). I figure there's enough going on out there...you don't need me. :) But every time I think about sitting down and writing an entry about myself and my feelings, my eyes kind of glaze over and I eventually wander away, kind of idly scratching my nose and wondering why I thought that might be a good idea. Bizarre. But...there it is; instead of anything meaningful, you get an ad for Colin Mochire appearances. :)
In any event, I'm hungry, so I'm going to put the computer aside for a while and take a break. I may well make another post later; I have much of the night to myself. So, until next time, friends. Smell ya later!
