Offbeat Thoughts and Ideas

Too Much Money, and The Office

Car repairs will cost at least $850, and that is just a start. All for stuff that doesn’t matter to how the car runs. Just some sensors and stuff. I guess that I will have to get rid of it now. Damn.

Makes me want to watch more episodes of The Office. Don’t know why, but that show always makes me happy.

Couldn’t find the official open, but here is one that is close.

Expensive Day

Did a lot of errands today. Had to pick up more insulin, do some shopping and take my car in for an emissions test – which it failed. Just dropped off my car at the mechanic, so I am not sure how much it will cost, but I am sure that it will be expensive. 🙁

Toodles

Late night last night. Lots of ladies 🙂 came over for drinking, – all lesbian 🙁 They left here at 12:30 to go out dancing. It was too late for me to head out, since I had music improv class this morning.

Music Improv went well. A crazy improv warm up went awry and I accidentally got a new nickname – Toodles. Nice. Not sure that if I want to pursue the singing portion, but I definitely want to check out the writing. If I want to go the singing way, I know I will have to do a lot of work.

Just a piece of useful information: Tim Gunn is the coolest man alive.

Drunk, Drunk, Drunk

I am really fucking drunk right now. Went out with Mc, Meg, Jamie, and new girl Liz. I needed to get my head swirly and accomplished that. We started at some place and then went to Jake’s. First place was full of gay people. Not much good for me there, next place was just a bunch of guys. Liz gave Mc and I a ride home. She seemed very nice. Even got to use the Paris Wheel line once or twice. Didn’t get me any where but it is always a fun night when that comes out. “So, you want to take a ride on the Paris Wheel?” How can you get better than that. I am going to pay in the morning. Looks like there is another night of drinking and dancing planed. What can a guy do, but enjoy each day? Life might not be great, but at least the alcohol is.

Good night, and have a pleasant tomorrow.

Final Cut Pro User Group

Another meeting of the ChiFCPUG. They met at the Flashpoint Academy on Clark Street. I love going to these meetings. It is interesting to see what true pros are doing in their own work. Rosie was there. It was good to see her, and meet some new people.

Biscuits and Bums

While I was reading Entertainment Weekly, I found out that biscuits are in. I have been telling people this for a long time, and I am finally vindicated.

Looked into the eyes of a Homeless man tonight. There was a lot of thought going on in there. What was on his mind? Must be a lot. There were other people on the train that just seemed kind of vacant. It was an interesting juxtaposition.

Life Goal Update

I’ve updated my life goal list. I finished bartending class and am up to 29 States. I got rid of a few goals and added a couple more. Also organized it a little differently.

It is about time for me to get going on some more of them. I will put up a website soon and break down them down into task to help reach these big goals. If you can help me out with any of them, let me know.

Tuesday Ritual, Tina Fey and Tights

Another night of classes. Improv is fun as always.

“Lying is good” is the best line that came out of my writing lecture tonight. We are writing sketches with a moral dilemma. Don’t have any idea what I will be writing, but I will have two weeks to get it done. Next week we are off for Thanksgiving.

Nancy was back and everyone’s sketches were better tonight. It was good to get back on track. I didn’t have anything written, so I suck.

Like to send out an APB on Andrew: Young male, last seen on Red Line, maybe a little drunk, with a Boston accent. If you see him, tell him to show up for class next time.

Saw Rachel Dratch at Corcoran’s tonight. She is very small. Another person who knows Tina Fey and I am no closer to getting to meet her.

On the bus, I saw a girl wearing pink tights with colored polka dots. I have been seeing a lot of girls in tights lately. Don’t know when that trend caught on, but I like it.
