Le maudit Mo D.

the fortunes of the fortunate

First of all, I've felt like a pariah/dweeb in all social situations this week, even at work, which is a seething nerd hutch if there ever was one. The fact that I'm wearing socks with sandals right now is not helping. The combo is comfortable and comforting but clearly everyone is looking at my feet before looking into my heart. I admit, I've been wound up like a top this week, owing to the presence of large, uncontrollable fire adjacent to my mom's property. Now that she and Little Bro are out of imminent danger, I will try to calm the fuck down.

I also have this crazy itchy scab in my left nostril, so I bet people have seen me trying to scratch at it, assuming that I'm going in for booger excavation. I'm gross and nerdy!

My thoughts on last night's failed puppet-prov experience:
1) It's really important to commit, even if you don't know what you're doing. Fake it. Don't defer to anyone else. I felt there was a lot of "play to meet Mo's expectations" going on. My only expectation was that we do our best and have fun. I didn't give a shit about winning. I just wanted to have fun and air out the puppets.
2) Not rehearsing is a bad idea.

Sock had eye surgery immediately before our set, so he says that the lingering odor of glue kept him off his game. He and Snail would like to thank the two people who voted for us last night. Thank you. No puppets until 2008, which will put a smile on the faces of local puppet-haters.

GGG has a show tomorrow night. A bad, busy holiday weekend to try to put on a show at an irregular venue. But we're going to do it anyway!

Geegsters!
