I only post monthly now..

.. well. THAT's lame.

Spending a morning with a couple of animals. Alas, a maltipoo's need for oatmeal leftovers will not be sated.

THINGS YOU CAN DO:
a) Go hang out with friends, their babies, and ham sandwichs. This was all sorts of awesome. Eat the sandwiches, kiss the babies.

b) Paint your front and back door Superman colors. The back door came out blue and great (barring future sanding and touch up). The front door needs some touch up (it looks like a very committed graffiti artist was exploring red). I may have a hole in my kitchen ceiling, but I've got pretty doors.

c) Not wear a mask while spray painting. Why, that was dumb.

d) Go see "An Intimate Evening with Mike Fotis: Part III". Why, that is not dumb at all! Mike is doing an awesome job, it's hilarious, and I'm honored to be thumping behind him. It's also been great to see good people come out for the fun - - Hi friends!! last show is tonight at 10 p.m.! :)

e) Come see "Ka-Baam!!" Only a couple of performances left!! (Fridays through August, 10:30 p.m., Comedysportz in Calhoun Square). This has been an utter delight. Goddang.

But if you don't see Ka-Baam!! next Friday..

f) Come see "OMG" at Mixed Blood, 11 p.m. Friday August 14th. Many many chick improvisers.. with their middle school diaries.. *sigh* It's gonna be awkward and awesome.

g) Get home and find a bat in your house. (FOTIS!!!) Upon first glance, it looked like someone had hung a dead rat from the curtains. Upon second glance, it was small, soft, and really really happy to be sleeping atop the front room drapes. The cat had already attempted to scale the drapes (Unsucessfully. Sebastian is unapologetic about his weight gain).

After pissing it off once (it was really really happy. The curtain are soft and warm. It seemed ready to move in. It was cute! Cute little muzzle. Freaky bat wings. So sleeeepy. I briefly pondered our shared life together.), a piece of cardboard and some soft fabric in a mixing bowl did it. YEAAA!!!

Bat's swear in clicks.

h) Go to your front porch to watch the thunderstorm, and have a raccoon amble by, a mere 3 feet in front of your legs. WHOA! The raccoon was huge, bigger than Sebastian and equally apologetic.

Raccoon's walk like their feet are too small for them.

i) Get yourself to the Corner Bar for Open Mic, Fridays. Minneapolis has some damn'd fine stand ups.

Speaking of, one of them gets back from Madison tomorrow. This is also all sorts of awesome. :) :)

I am going to do the things that need to get done. Or at least give it a bit of a try.

Onward.
