Pop-and-Lock Like You MEAN IT

I don't know if I've mentioned this in any previous posts-but I am taking hip-hop classes. (Pause for collective laughter) I know-it's ludicrous. But I was sitting around my apartment one day, and I was like, "You know what? I'm not embarassed enough by myself and what a colossal dork I am. I should do something about that..." And Taa-Daaa! I now take hip-hop classes on Tuesday nights.

What does it entail? Well, an hour of my getting increasingly angry as everyone around me excels at doing the robot and I'm still trying to figure out why my headband and matching writsbands itch so badly. But-it's great exercise, and there's a kick-ass bar right around the corner-so I think I'll stick it out. Besides...I've already paid for like, 13 classes.

So it's been awhile between postings! I'd apologize, but who really gives a hot damn? Exactly. I'd like to say I've been busy and rattle off the list of things that have occupied my time. But instead, I'll tell you that I'm lazy, and list everything I did over this past 3-day weekend:

1.) Friday night-Got drunk at home and watched movies

2.) Saturday-Thought to myself, "Holy crap-that's a lot of rain. Thank God I don't live in a basement apartment. Or in a house made of straw. Or with my brother-in-law, in that house full of chinchillas and Saturday morning Jazzercise classes, where there's never anything to eat except pancakes, and where everyone is expected to cover their mouths when they sneeze instead of setting the guest room on fire because they're angry about a dispute during a Scattergories game where I was totally robbed of all my really great answers by that cheating-ass Neighbor Boy Rusty who I KNOW didn't think of 'marmalade' all by himself...I mean, the kid has PALSY for Godssakes!!!"

3.) Saturday night-Made tearful drunken phone call to brother-in-law to apologize for act of arson that cost him thousands of dollars of damage, along with the lives of three chinchillas

4.) Sunday-Slept it off

5.) Sunday night-Attended concert with friend. Really great, folksy-bluegrass group. Audience reminded me why I hate hippies

6.) Monday-Caps vs. Rangers game. Though the Rangers lost-still had an enjoyable time drinking beer and threatening the lives of those around me. Best comeback I heard all game? "Shutuuuuuuuup!!" Ouch. You got me, man.

So as you can see, an extremely eventful weekend. I think I also had some string cheese at some point.

Upcoming shows:
Oct.27th-Comedy Kumite Tournament of Champions (Comedy Spot-Ballston Common Mall)
Nov. 6th-Geekfest Comedy Reunion Tour.....or some shit (Comedy Spot-Ballston Common Mall)
December 1st-Wiseacres Showcase
December 6th-Nanny O'Brien's in Cleveland Park -this one may be important, because not only is Nanny O'Brien's the first place I ever did comedy-it may very well end up being the last show I do in DC before moving to NY as planned at the end of the year. So what does that mean to you? probably nothing, you heartless shell of a human being. To me? That I will be having an EXTRA shot of Bushmills that night...

That's all for now! I'm flying out Friday evening with my sister to go and spend some quality time with my mother in Florida. What does this mean? Beer, wine, daiquiris and my constant attempts to capture manatees and alligators. I'll try and take pictures.
