A Mighty Fine Life

I got a random invite to a comedy show tonight...and attended, because among the performers were (gasp!) JLS and Klasko from BK!* Aaaaand in the audience were none other than Hillman, Boyo, and Efram, all of whom I've only seen once since graduation almost -- jesus -- four three years go. (Errr...I forgot how time works there, for a minute.)

I'm pretty sure Efram and I spoke more this evening than we had, oh, through all of the time we were in the troupe together combined. Fun times!



* For those of you newish to my LJ, BK = Boris' Kitchen = the sketch comedy troupe of which I was a hardcore member through most of college.

The first part of tonight was amazing. The UTC banquet was fabulous. Jill did my speech and made me all choked up, and listening to people gush about my friends also made me choked up. I realized just how much I'm going to miss the troupe (realized again, that is). I really wish I could stay in Boris' somehow, but... that would make me a creepy alum, and that I want to avoid. Sigh.

The later part of the night was spent writing a paper. Yeah, basically from the ground up; I'd done the preliminary reserach, but not the prewriting. So the fact that it's 4 AM and I'm done and heading to bed is quite impressive.

Today is the first day in, like, two weeks that I haven't watched any Veronica Mars, but Leah and I are having ourselves a watching/writing marathon tomorrow, which should be fun. As should the Boris' laser tag trip, since we really can't get enough of each other.

And I'm dying of exhuastion. Goodnight.

I love my troupe so much. I think out of everything I've done at Brandeis, it's what I'm the most proud of.

And the fact that they (well, mostly Boyo) gave me Pop Culture Trivial Pursuit genuinely has nothing to do with it. I think leaving Boris' makes it harder to think about graduating than anything else...

it's over, my whole boris' career (minus UTC banquet). I just... man.

The party was at my mod again, and went well, though we have a shitload of cleaning to do tomorrow. At least we got JLS to clean the whole pie he threw at Jeremy (which was hilarious) and the beer he kept spilling (as he was rather drunk).

I have so fucking much work to do this week it isn't even funny, but (sob) no show to take up my time.

I love everyone so much.

The show rocked. That is all.

(I'm very glad to hear that other people enjoyed it as much as the cast and crew did, because it was also the most fun show I've been in since, I think, Goes To War my freshman year. In terms of quality, overall, I also put it on the same level as GTW, which is, shall we say, pretty freaking high.)

So yes. Amazing show = amazing mood.

Yep. So it's 11:30 and I'm in the theater still. We just ran through the same cue four times. Oh, tech week. How I love thee.

( Meme. Me and Gandalf all the way, baby. )

So I saw Proof last night, and it was damn amazing. Seriously. First thought: Josh's set looks awesome. Then Elliott comes on stage, and floors you with his ridiculous, amazing talent. And then Klasko enters, and possibly you pass out from how good he is. (The other two characters were also good; I'm just a bit preferential to the guys in my troupe. Obviously.)

As for having a cane, well. My hand is sore for using it, but my knee is feeling much better. And when you have a cane, cars stop and let you cross the road, and people will move out of your way in a crowded room. I feel kind of guilty about that, because I'm really not hurt that badly, and when I use the cane I particularly don't hurt, but on the other hand, it's good to know that people have some basic manners after all.

Also, you can hit people with it. Not that I have. That would be bad.

This is probably not very interesting to anyone but me and a select few on the flist, so I'll lj-cut, but, ( I'm so proud of my comedy troupe. )

I can not believe I have to be up at 8:30 tomorrow morning.

Tonight was a good rehearsal. Which is darned lucky, considering it lasted... over four hours. Long rehearsals are usually funny but, well, Vampire Jesus. That makes everything fun.

Thank you for the support, everyone. I'm pretty much okay with the rejection... You know, not thrilled, but I've managed to come out of it with a pretty good idea of my weaknesses as a student/potential employee, and hopefully can begin to correct problems. So that's a silver lining I'm desperately trying to see.

Also, to be spiteful for a minute, any time I've whined in here about hating morning DJs, I should mention, was in direct reference to the morning show of the guy who interviewed me. Who was very nice, and I definitely wanted the internship anyway, but yeah. Prank phone calls just aren't that funny, especially not at seven in the morning.
