Clever title? Not today!
Hello blog family. I feel so out of touch. My dial-up connection at home and my lack of enthusiasm for spending an hour checking emails that should take only a few minutes to read have kept me off the internet for the last couple of weeks. Lots of things going on, where to begin?
Work: I quit my job. It wasn’t a good fit, for me or for them, and everyone knew it. I’m much happier away from there. My boss was a very difficult person to deal with, and she got very nasty and very personal with me, which I don’t appreciate. Those of you who knew my situation there know that this was a good decision for me. I’ve decided to do temp work for a while. I’m on a 10-week assignment right now at Raytheon, working for ‘the man’. Wee! Should I tell them I’m a Democrat? Nope, probably not. But so far so good. The people are super nice and the work isn’t hard, but if I tell you anymore, I’ll have to kill you. Ha!
Home: Evan is moving in with me. We decided that it’s cheaper and easier to do that rather than try to get a new place. But this is only temporary, we’ll be house-hunting again later in the year. Roomies are still there, the frat house lives. We got a cat – a rescue from Dave’s clinic. His name is Herbie, he’s 15 years old and is absolutely the most lovable cat ever. He doesn’t much care for the dog, but the house is big enough to keep them separated. I don’t know how much longer he will live, but he’s cute, he’s healthy, and he’s happy to have a home. My car is messed up again. Had some things replaced, but it’s still not running properly, so I’m catching rides from my man until we figure out what the problem is, and whether or not I can afford to dump more money into the beast. I’m damn near two grand in repairs in less than a year now. Grrr.
Family: Kids are doing well. My son failed Science, which I don’t understand. Last year, he won an award. We really need to work on that. My oldest daughter made the honor roll, which is yet another surprise, and my middle child is, well, still in the middle. But they’re great, all things considered. My son spent the weekend with us, but middle daughter ditched us to go see a friend. Ahh, that’s not fair, I don’t mind when they go see their friends. But I think she was really more concerned about ditching Evan than me. For someone who’s never had kids, he’s pretty damn good with them. We took the boy to ride go karts and play miniature golf. I'm surprisingly good at putting, having grown up with a golfing dad. But Evan still won, with a hole in one on two holes. Dammit. And he lapped me on the go kart track. So did my son. I suck at driving things.
Comedy: I’m still funny. Come see me this Friday downtown at 11 PM. Instead of WECT the show will be across the hall at Honky Tonk Heaven. God help me. The weather for the last 3 weeks has kept people away from the Friday happy hour show. What is it with Dallas people and rain? You're not gonna melt, people, I swear! We’re on hold for this week’s show while the club undergoes some renovations. In other news…we are in the midst of negotiations to purchase a certain business. I can’t give details, but suffice it to say, it would be most beneficial, not only for us, but for Dallas comics. Hint hint. That’s all I have to say about that.
Again, the rumors about the WECT closing are just that – rumors. It’s not closing down, although some changes are imminent. More on that later.
We’ve been watching many episodes of “Oz” – no, not the Wizard of, The HBO prison drama. I have to admit it, I’m addicted. We’re almost done with season 4. That’s a lot of man-love.
Well, other than that, life is going along, happy and normal, or as normal as it can be. Evan has become a part of the family, and I have turned magically into some kind of domestic goddess, cooking and cleaning and doing laundry. I take care of my man. We stay busy, at home and away, and when we’re not busy, we’re lazy, and I love those days too. Hope you all are happy and healthy. I haven’t had a headache in two weeks and I’m not stressed out and sad. Feels good to be happy. Much love.

Yeah, I read it yesterday. Rob and Doug have not purchased the Velveeta Room, they are simply adding a show at the owner's request, working in conjunction with the Follies. I can understand how the comics would be pissed though, if all that mess were true, but it's not. Doug and Rob have been nothing but supportive of stand up comics here in Dallas, why would they be any different in Austin? They gave me my very first paying gig, I won't ever forget that.
I was doing well until it rained last week. Then I melted. DAMMIT!
