Update...And It's About Time

It's been a while since I updated and it's about time that I did. But first, here are some pics...

I had a goatee for a while. I grew a beard from the end of December to mid March. Then I decided to go ahead and shave off all but the goattee. The purpose of even having a goatee was to do a video where I as me meet the evil version of me.

I was also going to meet the version of me from the timeline in which I had been born a girl. Unfortunately, my friend who was going to play her believes that I am the only one who can play ANY version of me...I assume seriously play me. I have seen others imitate me...John at the Roving Imp imitated me on stage during a show last year because they were playing the game INTARAGATION in which someone who goes outside has done 1)A crime 2) With someone 3) For a purpose (or something...it's been a while) and the crime was having plagerized Warren Zevon...an artist who I mention almost ALL THE TIME. When the guesser couldn't guess Warren Zevon, John got up on stage and played me getting overly excited about the mention of Warren Zevon...so I can be imitated. I just can't be done seriously. My friend wanted to offer to help get me set up to play the female version of me but that wouldn't be possable until June...also, I don't know if I could play the female me and make it real. I would much rather the female version of me actually be played by a woman. Either way, I did write out a script for the situation in which it would just be me doing this. The last time I updated with something that had nothing to do with Rebecca Black's "Friday" parodies, I believe it was talking about my church. During the months of December, January, and early February, my family and I went looking for a new church. In mid-February, we joined Shawnee Park Christian Church at Midland Dr. and Renner Rd. Within about a month of joining, I got put on the roation for teching services. The tech, instead of using Media Shout like at my former Church, uses a program called Easy Worship. Last year in improv, I got to do some traveling...all one day locations...Ottawa, Maddison, Fort Leavenworth...all in Kansas. At the end of the year, we brought back the Maddox Family Wrestling Syndicate for one show. In 2012, we did another

Serial Cereal that we got to write in ideas for and John would pick his favorite (or one at random or something) and the one chosen was one I had suggested that involved a rock band on tour. I wound up playing a drummer named Ryan Collins...the youngest (around 30) and only American in a British Classic Rock band called Flickerbird. We used it as one word. In the wild, a Flicker Bird is a breed or species or whatever of woodpecker. We had 6 episodes and just finished last weekend. I also joined a new group called Nerds...a newly formed improv troupe in which I belong in. We do a long form show in which we get a nerdy topic from the audience, discuss it, do scenes based upon topics that came up, reconvene, do some more scenes, then reconvene again to end it...that's how the format generally goes anyway. I believe that I rightly fit in with Nerds becaise I am, in fact, a nerd. In January, after watching all of Arrested Development and getting hooked (after I had, for the first time, watched every single episode of Community and got hooked) I started watching Doctor Who.

I'm not talking about the most recent of Doctor Who starting in 2005. I started with the 1963 Doctor Who. My hope was to watch it straight through to the current series. Well, over half of the really early stuff is missing. It became a hassle and I really wanted to get to the newer series. Well, I officially finished all of the 2005-2011 stuff and I've been checking out classic episodes from the library. Anyway, I'm a total Doctor Who nerd now. Anyway, I've been saying that I've been wanting to update my blog. So I'll leave

you with this. Every year for the Oscars, my old Sunday School group (now just a life group that meets on Wednesday nights now that everyone from the church went their seperate ways) does an Oscars costume party. Not really having a propper movie costume this year (we do costumes that are eitehr from movies or somehow related to the awards ceremony)I went as the Red Carpet...the morning after. We get awards for best costume. I didn't win. The winner went as the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. But if there were an award for most original costume, I would have won that. We also give awards for the most right guesses for who/what wins awards during the actual ceremony. I have never won this. However, I'm upset that Iron Lady (or whatever movie it is) won an award for best makeup over Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 which was clearly the best movie to come out last year. I guess somebody thinks it's hard to put make up on Meryl Streep. There, I have updated my blog. Also, I think I will make use of my labels.
