i just took part in a trip. things didn’t pan out exactly how i would’ve liked it to, but everything was welcome nonetheless. i learned a whole lot, especially that kalen schaefer is the cutest drunk in the whole wide world.

lotsa political shit happened in the last week. biden is now obama’s running mate, and obama has now officially received the demo nomination. biden, though looking a little too much like jimmy carter for my liking, seems apt for the role. now, with obama’s acceptance speech coincidentally falling on the 45th anniversary of Marting Luther King Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech, all eyes are on him.

best of luck, barack.

they keep installing large, flatscreen lcd televisions all around my office. having a penchant in my youth for stealing things that hold little to no value to everyone but hobos (cans of beans, road cones, outlet covers, etc.), i’m suddenly feeling a very strong urge to make one of the new sets just disappear. though i’ll never act on the urge, i’m certainly the man to pull the job off:

• i have an intricate knowledge of the inter-office runnings and know the time to do it
• i am the only person who knows hoe to get into the camera database
• i am that evil

again, i’d never in a billion years act on this urge, but it’s still there… waiting.

i performed in a set at improv a gogo this past sunday with a group formed by one david vincent jennings, called kumar. we did a structure created by matt donnelly (of the neutrino video project fame) called the slingshot harold. long story short, the structure gets rid of all the crap i hate about harolds. so, i likes.

when all was said and done, it was a stellar set. not only did ms. katy kessler perform and tag her first long-from set, but i got to silently rub my hilariousness in someones face who i think kind of needed it. shallow, but it felt really, really good.

science! will happen again tonight. will lightning strike twice? we shall see. but chances are that if it does, we’ll explain the hell out of it.
