Okay, for those that know- that title may be a bit dark, but it is a perfect encapsulation of the thought process that led me here. I was sitting in rehearsal, practicing the 2nd Act is surprisi...
Perhaps to address an elephant in the room… or maybe not an elephant but an obvious feature of what this place has morphed into: I know… I’m bitching about work a lot. I’ve been showing all of ...
With dealing with people like I do all day, you can see how “conversation at all” becomes important and creates the issues it does. Going from merely “Well, that is a pretty long dry spell” stra...
82: Dragging in The Answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything
On Monday, I called in sick to work and to rehearsal. I was feeling under the weather which makes sense all things considered. There is still a massive cold ripping through the courthouse. Plu...
Today was… well… it was a full day. If I were kinder to myself, I would probably go ahead and call it productive but.... that would be out of character. Not enough got done and nothing of pers...
So, I forgot that in the current age there can be zero information gathering without a cost. Of the multiple phone calls seeking service I want and need to do; I was able to complete one yester...
78: Evidence Found in The Answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything
I’m sure algorithms talking to algorithms responding to algorithms based on data mining are all behind the kind of content we’re shown. And when you consider the information that exists about me...
76: It's Snowing! in The Answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything
Well, last night - Nala did not stay in the room with me. Which I’m guessing is her way of saying, “Dog park was nice; but without downstairs time, I’m not sufficiently exercised or bonded.” Bu...
I suppose this is an honest request for advice as much as it is additional moaning about how the hand of fate seems to be a cruel bitch. Do you remember my previous experiences in therapy? Marr...
74: MarIO in The Answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything
In certain “nerd spheres” today is MARIO day. Because if you take an abbreviation for March (MAR) and the numerals for the day (10) and put them together MAR10… it looks like the word Mario. N...
73: On Balance in The Answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything
Combine feeling ill with a time change and, I suppose, this morning was inevitable. I awoke with a start and looked around, surprised that the bedroom was filled with light. Happy that Nala sta...
I’ll consider this good news, though that may change as the day rapidly approaches. The Sweeney Todd Cast is singing the National Anthem for a Roller Derby exhibition on Saturday. During the hal...
Today on the radio, I heard a song I wanted to share. But… not the easiest thing to track down certain songs and artists. It’s… not like the actually produced track I heard on local radio but… ...
70: No Other Place for It in The Answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything
I suppose this is as good a place as any to write about this. Some of it is a rehash but.. rehash is my specialty, it would seem. Part of ruminating. Part of being obsessed with time travel. Par...
63: NEW MONTH- MARCH in The Answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything
The new month enters. I’m… not better. I still have significant work to even get to okay. We will see what this month brings. But before I get there… I just want to say… I know this is maybe ...
62: General Disappointments in The Answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything
I actually tried to get a lot done today so wasn’t on here much. Other than the usual “work bullshit” including another three page hand written letter explaining to me how I am the devil incarn...
61: Genuinely Seeking Advice in The Answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything
So, I have something of a “please tell me what you would recommend” situation. I hate writing on my phone and I don’t enjoy writing on tablets. But when I get downtime to read, I tend to write i...
58: The Word Tapestries in The Answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything
I have a t-shirt that says, “I speak fluent movie quotes”. I lead with that sentence whenever I see a dating profile that specifically lists “I’m a cinephile and I love movies!” To no surprise...
54: Such A Simple Thing in The Answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything
I know it makes sense from a logical perspective of emotional content. If someone is a part of your life for 37% of your life… if someone is part of 43% of the life you remember… 64% of your act...
53: 60 Second Observations in The Answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything
I am writing this entirely from my phone- which I hate doing. I prefer a keyboard which is an interesting personal quirk that will forever date me. Because for the vast majority of human history...
37: Absence in The Answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything
As should have been expected considering recent entries; I got sick. Push yourself through Cold & Flu season like I do and it is bound to happen. So, I wasn’t at work on Monday or Tuesday ...
35: Sadness and Joy in The Answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything
It’s particularly strange to open a comedy show on the day Catherine O’Hara dies. Rather like when when a funeral is on the nicest day of the year. You know the positive is exactly the right w...
34: Preview Night- THE COTTAGE in The Answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything
This will be quick as I haven’t much time. MBFITWW wound up texting me before the show that he was ill and could not attend. So, that means that this is another show with no family or friends sp...
Let’s have Intense Conversions Emphatically- Let’s talk ICE What I can say regarding National News and Current Midwest News? It’s funny how tepid or the Mike Johnson approach still seems so jus...
29: Failure in The Answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything
Well… truly and wholeheartedly.... shit! The job I was going to apply for? Deadline for application was today. And in a perfect example of why I needed to apply for that job… I was too exhauste...
