Middle School Improv

My week at Alki Middle School was a blur. I had 30 6th, 7th, and 8th graders for 47 minutes a day for 5 days. It was a mad dash to impart some basics while providing plenty of opportunity for practical and active involvement from the students. They had some great success with this silentContinue reading “Middle School Improv”

I had forgotten

Dan and his fiance are expecting a child. All has gone well so far, I’ve laughed a lot, and I’ve been reminded of some doozy stories. Like the one where I cleared out Mrs. Kuhn’s junior Psychology class because of a terrible fart. Mrs. Kuhn actually took the time to say from her podium beforeContinue reading “I had forgotten”

A Gaming Wedding

This weekend in Iron Mountain, Michigan one of my buddies from high school is getting married. Dan is a part of phase four of my role playing/video gaming life before I channelled all of that energy into improv. Phase four took place from 1992-1995. Phase one began in 1980 to give you some scope. WhenContinue reading “A Gaming Wedding”

Ah college.

I just got word that Portland State University is reimbursing me for my plane ticket to Amsterdam. The trip fell under the requirements for travelling scholar funds. That makes me very happy and a bit richer. Yay college!

“Generic Hospital” a radio show.

Where love drips through an IV into you and me.

Enough Winter already

I’m frustrated with my thesis proposal. It’s pissing down rain, and I’ve reached this feeling of general malaise. I need a sunny day where I can lay on the grass in a park, listen to the breeze and nap lazily. If anyone can arrange that for me, you’ll be my hero.

Addicted to Disco

So Giorgio Moroder helped Donna Summer on a song back in the late 70’s early 80’s called “I feel love”. I’ve listened to it over 80 times in the last 3 weeks. I’ve also listened to the Blue Man Group’s remix of it about as many times. I don’t know why I fixate on particularContinue reading “Addicted to Disco”

Self Conscious about sharing

I’m thinking about restructuring the list of people who I share romantic news with. If you don’t mind seeing posts about my torrid romantic life, sound off. Otherwise, I’m going to be posting all of that personal mushy stuff privately. I figure that not everyone is interested in seeing who my latest crush is, andContinue reading “Self Conscious about sharing”

Am I crazy for thinking that….

someone who flies across the country to see you after a month of IMing nearly every night for hours is looking to be friends? someone who said they want to spend as much time with you as possible while they’re here might like you on a more emotional level? someone who has a lot ofContinue reading “Am I crazy for thinking that….”

Nothing can be simple

Just had one of the most amazing weekends of my romantic life. I finally find a man who totally gets me, who I get, and we’re both into each other, and he lives 2500 miles away. Fucking Bullshit! Last night was the ‘not let go of one another’ night. <sigh> He’s planning on coming backContinue reading “Nothing can be simple”
