3. Last night I made curry, and by made I mean that I poured a jar of “Curry Stuff” on top of my meat and vegetables. It was in no way cooking, unless for some reason I see someone do the exact same thing on Top Chef.

2. So…I was wrong about the Twins. Oopsy. Although to be fair to how awesome I am, the series should still be happening. The Twins blew some chances.  Question: With the Twins moving into a new stadium, and in theory, garnering more revenue will their spending be indicative of this shift? Or, will they continue to play the small market/scrappy player card?

What a great weekend, huh?

1. The Twins find themselves somehow in a playoff on Tuesday thanks to an equal parts mixture of Twins moxie and TIger ineptitude. Man, it sure is nice to live in a city where the baseball team consistently year after year finds a way to win. Do you hear me, Cubs? I’ve been letting you half jerk me for years. The Twins are already my favorite AL team…Don’t make me make the full on switch!Alright! You called my bluff. I could never do that, but seriously this year was unacceptable.

2. Creature Feature went really well on Friday night. Michael Ritchie continues to be the best improviser in the TC. Being onstage with him makes me realize how sloppy I can be when on stage.

3. Last night’s Rockstar show also went very well. What a humbling experience to know that I presented a story that was pretty well received and that I liked very much but that still wasn’t up to par with what everyone else offered. It is truly nice to know that I work with such talented people.

Happy Monday!

1. I am naming this week, “Mike sure has a lot of writing to do!”  Here’s a list. Lists are great for people who are too lazy to construct a paragraph.

-The silly little book. One day I will finish this thing. It most likely will not be in the next seven.

-A story for this Sunday’s Rockstar show at the BLB. The story needs to be in the mystery or horror genre.  I have nothing. In a perfect world, I could combine the book I’m writing with this gig. But since what I’m writing is in no way a horror or mystery, I yet again have proof that the world is not perfect and is in fact out to get me.

-Rehearsals for the Holiday show at the BNW begin this week. which means lots of brainstorming which means sketch ideas which means sketches.

I’m actually really looking forward to this week. It will be stressful, but well worth it. Because let’s face it. Writing is hard but it’s not as hard as selling vacuums door to door. Can you imagine that shit? Come on.
