On most days I come up with a clever title. This is not most days
Today was almost a lazy day. I was able to spend huge chucks of time playing Prince of Persia and Madden 2005, but I also cleaned my apartment, folded laundry, cleaned all my dishes, and looked for job openings in the Reader. For some stupid reason, it's taken me weeks of "meaning to get to that" before I was able to do those simple tasks. I've been thinking that, lately, it takes me at least twice as long to finish simple tasks as it takes most people. I guess I'm not really motivated to do anything besides write stuff that's funny and watch football. *shakes head* It's very odd, I find. I haven't gone grocery shopping in at least a month... living off the loot my mom gave me the last time I was home, and misc. non-perishables like oatmeal, rice, and pasta. I figure, I've got to eat this stuff sometime anyway, why not just go through it now? But that's me being lazy... as I should really get to the store and get some cereal and fruit and other stuff that I've been out of for a while. *sigh* You know I'm not going to go, right? I suck.

Speaking of, tonight was the second week of Mankind: And Other Oxymorons. Again this week, no one I know came. Not a big deal, however, as it seems NO ONE is getting people to come to this show. We had a grand total of 18 in the audience this week. If we keep doubling our audience, we might have a full house by closing night. Or we might have an audience of people who think the show sucks... because it pretty much does. I feel SO BAD for the actors. I wish we could have had better scenes... but we don't. We've only got five writers: one of them (*cough* Chris *cough*) isn't funny at all; Adam has funnier stuff than what he wanted in the show; Jim's scenes are good... but are being 'over-acted' by the actors; Heidi's scenes are "funny" in a very subtle and perhaps not even funny way' and one of my scenes is funny but short... and the other one is not being acted very well. So there's the show... it's basically a big pile of poop. And it's tough for me to really "force" people to come see a show that I think is feces, even if I did write part of it. And, honestly, I think the actors aren't trying to get people to come to the show either. I think the actors think the show isn't very good and they stopped caring about it a while ago. Hell, I stopped caring about it a while ago. I'm not sure who cares about this show anymore. That's a problem I seem to be running into lately. Moron that later.

#6 Post of 2004 - All the Dream Posts! I'm really glad that I started blogging my dreams last year. It seems like every writing instructor I've ever had has told me that writing down your dreams is a really good idea. For... some... reason... that I don't think I've ever heard. There must be some reason. Anyway, I'm glad I started doing it because now we know all about my zombie "thing", my wish for Martha Stewart as my mother, and that I have dreamed about dating and being in love with a porn star. Wait... I didn't post that one. Okay. So this is the short version: I was in love with a porn star. Honestly in love. "She met my parents" in love. And I didn't care she was a porn star which is SO unlike me because I'm possessive and jealous and a small, weak man. How did I get here? Anyway... dreams are great, and I've started remembering some of them since I decided to write them down (which is nice because I've gone entire years without remembering dreams before). And, from what I hear, writing down your dreams is a great exercise if you want to be a writer. For some reason.
