I take note of the past week. (listening to "El Tango de Roxanne" from the Moulin Rouge Movie Soundtrack)
About Tuesday of last week, I recieved a call from a director that I auditioned for a long time ago. He wanted me for a small role in the show the Actor's Theatre of Minnesota is mounting called "We Gotta Bingo!" Initially, I was very excited. It pays great, and will have amazing visibility. I get to be a member of the founding company, which means royalty rights for any future productions. And then I saw the schedule. Every weekend, Th-F-S nights from now until the end of the year. My heart sank. No more Comedy Sportz. So, as of tonight, I had my last comedy sportz minor league rehearsal in a very long while. I'm going to miss it greatly, but hear me now: I WILL return to you. Oh yes. I will be back. STAY TUNED.
In other news, I spent this past weekend in Postville, IA attending my cousin's wedding. Which wasn't as miserable as I'm pretending it was, but it was still pretty bad. Don't get me wrong. The ceremony was fine, and they're great people, but the whole event was just... not my thing. I feel bad. I really do. I feel like, I was born in a small town like this, this is where I'm from, I should identify more with this. But I don't. I'm big city people now, and I guess I just can't go back to a place where you can't buy a dress shirt without driving an hour away.
But, I did get to school my Dad royally in golf before the weekend was out. Which is always a good thing. And I got a new putter, which I'm dying to try out further. A White Hot Odyssey putter, which as I just found out retails for about $150, depending on where you look. I got mine used at a golf course in Postvill, IA for $10. TEN DOLLARS. AND... the guy gave me $5 for my old Arnold Palmer crap putter. End of the golf season in a small Iowa town makes a guy do strange things. His loss = my gain.
PS- This post is especially for Jill who doesn't think I update my blog enough.
I'll miss ya, Jill.

I'm Hot???!?
So.. apparently the Madjai has some sort of sex appeal that he was unaware of. (listening to "Astronomy Domine" by Pink Floyd)
I've had two different people from two different parts of my life (one of them is NOT my mom, for those of you who WILL say that) say that I was Hot. And to that, I had to say "B'guh??"
When pressed for more information, they answered almost exactly the same response. It's not that I dress well, or have rugged manly looks, but it's more of the "charming, likable, boyish attractiveness." At which point, I totally got it. A tall, skinny kid who is, admittedly, funny and self-deprecating. Not overly non-stop-god-I-wonder-what-he'd-be-like-in-bed kind of Hot. But, as one of them put it: "Sometimes I look at you and think, 'You know.. Sex would be nice.'"
...
Which is fantastic. I guess I don't understand it, but it's given me something to think about over the last day or so. I'm not "unfortunate looking," and as I've always said, A laugh goes a long way towards a girl's heart. So, I guess all of these minor things combine to form someone who comes off as rather attractive. Which was really nice to hear, since lately I've been feeling rather... shall we say... troll-under-a-bridge.
And it all kind of came to a rather strange point tonight. I was buying cigarettes at a gas station, and I was just hanging out by my car, smoking, just... ya know. Like you do. And this girl pulled up in her car, and she smiled at me as she got out and went into the gas station. I thought nothing of it, and then she came back out and walked right over to me and shyly asked me for a cigarette. I obliged, and she introduced herself, and we shared one of those sweetly awkward "you're cute" conversations that you randomly strike up with people. And she finished her cigarette, and thanked me, and then placed her hand on my shoulder and said, "Bless you." She meant for the cigarette, she wasn't some crazy religious person instilling the spirit of the Lord Jehovah in me. And she did that half-turn, smile, hair tuck that girls are so good at.
And that was it. She drove off, and I had to just smile. I'm attractive. Who knew?
*grin*
