Monday
Anway, Monday, I slept late...like until 1:20pm. My grandma might have come in and asked me when I was getting up so we could go get breakfast. But she had fallen asleep. So I actually woke her up.
I drove out to Lawrence today for pretty much the last time. I got my degree for Bachelor of Arts - English. Finally! I have proof that I am a college graduate!
After leaving KU, I went to the 1 Quizno's that was in Lawrence in cording to my cell phone (but apparently, there are 2).
After purchasing my meal from Quizno's, I went out to my car and ate it there...there was no bottle water there so I drank the apple juice I got from KU before I left. From there, I headed to Bonner Springs going East on 6th Street (this was in extream Western Lawrence) to Mass St. From there, I went to Highway 24 or whatever to 32 highway. I got to the Roving Imp for my 6:30pm Monday night class around 6:10...leaving Quizno's around 5:40...and I had to take a detour.
SEE! YOU CAN GET TO THE ROVING IMP FROM LAWRENCE IN 30 MINUTES! WHO EVER SAYS THEY CAN'T IS A LIAR! Now that that is out of my system...
Anyway, at workshop, I tried my best to work with emotions that respond based upon that. This has been hard for me because it's like I'm trying to work with something I've tried to not use...or something. Anyway, I'm still working with that. But John gave me a personal challenge for the long form which was to have 1 charicter be a 1920's jolly rich man...or something along those lines. He told me the posture was one who looks towards the sky. I did this in one scene but it didn't matter because I wound up being the 3rd-dary caricter who was a near sited artist who paints nude models.
The time I got to play a main charicter was when I got on stage and started typing. But someone else came on and started typing as well. Shortly there after, Nifer came on and it turned out we weren't typing but we were tickling her. Chante' then came in as my mother complaining about me tickling the neighbor girl. John commented that my mother coming in and me continuing to tickle is like continuing to enjoy myself after my mom walks in on me. Therefore, I was David Jack, the tickler...specifically the spine. At the end of each scene, the one who started the scene gives a moral. I said that the moral of the story is that if you start out typing, say that before you start tickling someone.
Anyway, bed time now.

Weekend and Sleep and what not...
Going back to Thrusday night, I watched The Office (not a great episode of it but Riann Wilson who plays Dwight got a chance to show off his Dwightness) and then I headed out to The Roving Imp. Thursday night is rehearsal. I wasn't rehearsing for anything so I didn't get there until 10pm when who ever stays around plays some games and what not. This last Thursday, it was Triviol Pursuit: The Best of Edition. John won that game and Nifer and I tied for second with 2 pies left to go each. However, there were several times when each of us would start getting question after question right in a row...I was able to pick up 3 slices of pie in one turn, but not 1 roll. But anyway, that's enough talking about that game.
Friday was a b-day party for my friend Zach's girl friend, Chante'. I got my times wrong and I was over there an hour early. While there, we played Texas hold 'em. We didn't play for money, but we did play for chips. By the way, I suck at any kind of Poker when the games don't count. Back on Labor Day, there was a party at the Roving Imp in which we played 5-Card Draw. I played one game that counted and I got a pair of 4's. That was it. Any more tries would not count. Of course, the tries that didn't count, I wound up getting 3 A's, and 2 Kings. I got 4Kings and a Queen or something like that. Anyway, my game started to improve once it didn't matter. I have decided that if I ever go to the boats, I should play at the kiddie table.
By the way, speaking of playing at the kiddie table at the casino, the It's Debateable on Saturday night at 9pm had the debate of Affirmative or Negative "should the US legalize gambling for children...or children legally could go into a casino...or something like that". Kind of ironic how that worked out...that wasn't the suggestion I put in though. Anyway, the show before that was Triv Prov. John won...first against Jeremy in the last 2 rounds against him.
Sunday was world wide Communion Sunday...this is where all the (I think Protestant churches but don't quote me on that) take communion around the world on the same day whether they do it on a weekly basis or not. The church I go to decided to have a combined service that started at 10:30 in stead of 9am like my service usually does. So I got to sleep in a little longer. Then in the afternoon, I went to Nifer's beginner's class. By the way, I now know what my major issue is with improv. The thing I need to overcome is that I need to be able to show on my face and with my body what my charicter is feeling. This is going to be hard for me because I'm a guy...well, that's one obsticle anyway.
Anyway, it's Monday now. At some point, I'm driving up to Lawrence to SHHHHhhhhhh! get my degree...keep it hush hush for right now.
Anyway, try and have a good Monday. Oh, and please leave a comment if there's something you would like for me to comment on at some point...or let me know if there's anything that can make this blog more interesting.

The Envoy
This was, I believe, the second Warren Zevon album that I attempted to upload to Youtube. As I said for the album on Excitable Boy, Youtube had to pull this because Warner Music Group concist of a bunch of cry babies who don't want to get money for free. Okay, I didn't call them crybabies in the last post. But I did think of them as something I won't mention on a family friendly post. So there you have.

Excitable Boy
I kept having issues with my videos about the Warren Zevon albums on Youtube. Apparently, Warner Music Group doesn't like anything that's going to just wind up making them money. Kind of weird for a big corporation to not be interested in making money. But oh well, I guess that's there business. So this is mainly to see if I can load my videos ABOUT the Warren Zevon albums here. Mainly, I feel something with the music of Warren Zevon and I want to share that with others. That's another thing that Warner Music Group doesn't understand because there a bunch of stuff that I don't want to say on a family friendly site.
End of Wednesday/September
Anyway, Wedensdays are usually my day for doing laundry. It's also my day for taking recycleable (did I spell that right?) goods to my church where they go into recycle bins. Also, I go to Perkin's to get my favorite kind of soup...Cheesy Potato Soup. Yes, I know, I'm a man of habbit.
Anyway, while I was out running around, I also went to the bank. You see, I had no money to speak of. This is mainly because it was my mom's birthday on Monday and so I got her the soundtrack to Mama Mia! because she keeps watching it everytime it's on HBO or whichever. Also, since Monday night was an improv workshop night, I paid her way to a movie last night (Tuesday). We saw CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS in 3-D. I don't know why 3-D cost so much. But I have yet to really like any movie I've seen in 3-D. MONSTERS VS. ALIENS was in 3-D and wasn't that great. Also, UP was in 3-D and I absolutely hated that movie. I know, I know, "Oh my gosh, how can you hate that movie?" I just do, alright! Give me a break! Anyway, Monday night was also the birthday of a friend of mine who's an improv friend but I know her because she and one of my best friends are dating. So after workshop, 7 of us went to this really expensive restaurant at the Legends. I can't remember the name. But it's either a Bar&Grill or a FINE-DINING RESTAURANT depending on who you ask. Anyway, I paid $25 for Mac&Cheese and a bottle of water and tip (it was like $22.45 or so before tip). So I didn't have much left is what I'm trying to get to. But did I have change...
Quaters: 19 = $4.75
Dimes: 18 = $1.80
Nickles: 5 = $0.25
Pennies: 79 = $0.79
Total came to $7.59
Now I had some money. I preceded to, after taking care of what was to be recycled, going to get my hair cut. I last got it cut in June. Though, I wish I had just 1 more penny in that counter so I wouldn't have to have any dang pennies. But oh well.
Anyway, happy October everyone!
