saturday night i had a dream where there was a zombie virus killing everyone and a bunch of improvisers were still okay, and i was worried for them. then i got a 'death notification' on facebook (easily the funniest/most creative part of the dream, thank you brain) for matt decoster and i was afraid everyone had gotten the virus at harold night. it was a highly disturbing and upsetting dream.

i am weird.

When I finish a shower, I shake my hand dry so I can grab a towel. As of late, I find this hand shaking makes me break into crazy eights.

Last night I had a dream I was buying some takeout at my local Chinese foodery. I don't remember what I said to the guy behind the counter, but I distinctly heard Gethard laughing when I asked for additional duck sauce.

The man is in my head.

If I draw a face on my hand, I can't help but talk as him in conversations. I mean, it's a character I created and he must be acknowledged.

I was talking to a co-worker when I noticed a large juice stain on the floor. Our custodian died in April and as this was in a non-public area I had my doubts that any of the fill in custodians would have anything to do with it. So I went to a nearby sink, got some damp parer towels and started washing the floor. My co-worker told me that I didn't have to do that, but I told her it was OK, my coach wants more object work in scenes. And I continued the conversation while scrubbing. My co-worker doesn't know what object work is.

Stand up is also messing with my mind. I had a particularly challenging day, and my reaction was OK, that's two minutes of solid material. I upped it to three when a patron whose recent multi-year absence was due, I assume to a prison term, came back and started picking a fight with a patron who wanted to read The Week in peace.

Thanks to improv I now have a nickname for my beard, "The Monster," and I'm trying to also make my own major in comedy at my school.

I compliment non-improvisors on object work.
I will call '...and scene' while out with friends.
I will coach guys who unsuccessfully hit on girls and send them back in for 'Take 2'.
I totally have way more conversation with strangers and I notice more cashiers laugh while checking me out.

you too? damn you mike librarian.

if someone asks me a question, i'll often answer back with a question. if i realize i did it, i'll continue speaking in only questions for as long as possible.

also if people ask me what i'm doing, i'll sometimes respond as fred schneider.

I used to be very outgoing and socially competent, and improv has made me shy and awkward. I'm not kidding. Someone help me fix this. I used to be a lovely person, I swear.

Improv should bring out who you actually are, not the character you play at parties. I pretty much abandoned two huge groups of friends because I'd rather hang out with my improv troupe, because they know me so much better.
