Dan's Fish Stick Story

It's that time of year again. Everything is grey, it's cold as balls, your Christmas tree is in the dumpster, and it's Tuesday, yuck. Here's something from my archives to brighten up your day.

Dan's Fish Stick Story

Poop!

Now with Google Buzz out, you can write a tweet and it will display in your Buzz feed and your Facebook news feed. Then people can respond to it on either, twitter, Buzz, or FB. Then you can have 3 different conversations about the same thing in 3 different places! Then, when someone responds to either your FB or your Buzz, you get an email in your gmail telling you about it.

But that's not all! You can write something in your Blogger (like I'm doing right now) and have it automatically post to your Buzz feed. Then people who want to read the boring drivel you have to talk about can either, go to Blogger, read it in their Google RSS reader, or read it in their Buzz feed! To top it all off, if you post a picture in your blog, your readers can see the picture in the Picasa Buzz feed, the Blogger Buzz feed, the Google Reader subscription, or the Blogger website itself!

Go Colts!

I don't need to say it, but I'm going to say it anyway, the Colts are going to kick ass this weekend. I'm going to wear my Colts hoodie to work tomorrow, dress code be damned.

I got my car more fixed today! Now I just need a new radiator, new battery, new muffler, and new sway bar linkages. I think I'm going to do those repairs myself though. If everything goes to plan, I'll be driving this car until I buy my Camaro.

You best not tell me that I need a new car. Everyone and her mother has told me that I need to replace the neon, but I'm not gonna. Ya'll are just jealous of my $0/month car payment. Don't go spoutin' off some nonsense about repairs being more expensive than a car payment either. When the repairs start to be more than just normal maintenance, then I might consider it, but not a moment sooner than that.

It kinda bugs me when the auto spell check underlines a word and then when I click it to fix the spelling mistake, the red underline goes away. Then I'm all like, "oh, you think so do you?" Then I think I'm all good, and as soon as I move my mouse over to skip a crappy song on iTunes, the red line comes back. I'll just shake my fist at the computer screen and go on skipping crappy songs on iTunes.

Limerick 24

Everything 'round her is so big,
It's comfortable to smoke her cig.
He comes nearby,
She feels so high,
And the butterflies dance a jig.

Play Time!

I'm in a play! It's called Auntie Mame. I am playing the part of (older) Patrick, the orphaned nephew of Auntie Mame. It's a comedy from the 1950's.

It was a great audition. I went in 3 days after the original audition, read 2 scenes, and then got offered the part. Easy as pie. It'll be great to get out and hit the stage again. I haven't had any theater experience for almost 3 years, and it was such a huge part of my life that when it went away a part of me went dormant. Now it's back and I'm super excited. Rehearsals start in a few weeks. I'm a bit anxious about lines. I never was good at memorizing lines early in the rehearsal process, but since this is a community theater show, I don't know what to expect. I do have a lot more time to memorize the lines now than when I was in school, at least I have fewer distractions during the week nights.

I haven't seen the show, but I expect it will be very 50's comedyesque. I have heard some pretty hilarious lines, most of them coming from Aunti Mame herself. I open and close the show and I have several scenes in the second act.

Limerick 23

It is very often preferred

When such an event has occurred

That those who did it

Step forth and submit

To the violent will of the herd

Doppelgängers

Ya know how sometimes when you look at someone they remind you of someone else even though when you look at them again they don't look anything like them? That just happened to me. The culprits? Rainn Wilson and Dr. Mark Minster.
