Sweet dreams are made of this.
--The Eurythmics1 Happy Friday y'all.
2 For no reason whatsoever I decided to use an older DN font this morning.
3 Clever me.
4 Know why?
5 Because I CAN.
6 So last night I opened my refrigerator and two eggs and a bottle of salad dressing flew out at me and crashed to the floor.
7 I looked down at the mess, and rolled my eyes.
8 I instantly blamed everyone else for not jamming all the leftovers in there well enough.
9 I got a huge kitchen towel, wet it down a bit, and cleaned the mess up in around a minute.
10 I hang out with the custodians all day, and those guys are the best. They teach me not only how to clean, but how to live. They're clearly my best friends and mentors at the Chill.
11 Anyway, I got all that stuff cleaned up and then decided that the fridge just needed some serious cleaning.
12 So I took everything that was a leftover out and put it on the sink.
13 I must have had around seventeen different pieces of Tupperware, bowls with Saran Wrap, potatoes wrapped in aluminum, and something that looked like Abraham Lincoln.
14 I separated edible stuff from stuff that should be sent to the zoo.
15 I then got a huge pot and started in on some stone soup.
16 I became a madman because the weather was ridiculously hot, and making soup isn't always the smartest thing to do on a hot night, but I just started throwing everything in there.
17 It felt like the graduation of food.
18 I added magical spices and garlic, onions, lemon, wine, salsa and anything else you could imagine.
19 After letting it cook for a while, I took a short nap.
20 Somewhere in there it began to animate.
21 It grew fingers and toes and ate my family.
22 I slept through the entire ordeal.
23 I just woke up now and decided to write the DN.
24 I had a bowl of the stuff and I've grown younger, and more handsome.
25 I also have grown to the size of the Hulk.
26 I'm bustin' outta my clothes, and my fingers are bigger than the keys on my computer. It's insanity.
27 I'm turning into someone Batman would want to kick the crap out of.
28 Anyway, I already slept six hours and now I'm up at 2 a.m. writing all this.
29 Gawd help me.
30 Go see The Odd Couple at YB tonight or tomorrow. I thought I wrote about it and launched a DN earlier this evening, but it disappeared. Or maybe I DID mail it but my brain doesn't register that I did.
31 Those kids did it again.
32 I'm going tonight. 7:30.
33 It's tonight and tomorrow night.
34 It's the play I wanted to do in my own Senior year of high school.
35 We did Tommy, by the Who instead. We called it Our Amazing Journey, which is a corny offshoot on a song from Tommy called The Amazing Journey.
36 I LOVED doing it, don't get me wrong, but I wanted to do The Odd Couple. WHEN you go this weekend, take a gander at the character of Oscar, because I wanted to play him. My friend Charlie, whom I re-acquainted with a couple of years ago, wanted to play Felix.
37 We came darned close to doing that at YB in 2005. Just never did.
38 So now YB is doing The Odd Couple, which is yet one more miracle play for them.
39 I want everyone to go out and support the Drama Workshop.
40 Or I'll stalk your neighborhood later tonight.
41 Muhahahahahahahaha!!!!
42 Have a great weekend everyone.
43 I'm going back to my cave and sleep this stuff off until morning. Hopefully I'll realize it was all a dream.
44 See you at the show.
45 Peace.
