I didn’t think I’d write today. No, today I promised myself I’d work on some upcoming workshop materials I need to produce in order to (hopefully) get a major gig at another major gig at the beginning of next year. That might not make sense to you, but it will if it happens and since I hate to count my fetuses before they are born (I was not so cleverly trying to say count my chickens before they hatch) I’m remaining tightlipped on this awesome experience until I know it’s in the bag. And since it’s not in the bag now, let’s uhm, not let the cat out.
Enough cheesiness. My first Men’s Health article (“Same Girl, Better Sex) is in the November issue and that means it’s out now. I’m really stoked to be featured in a magazine I read in my parent’s bathroom as a child. And I haven’t seen it yet, but apparently my book review is in Women’s Health this month too! That’s exciting!
And last night, I went with Lux to see Margaret Cho and friends in the Sensous Woman. At first we had the worst! seats! ever!, but thanks to my new attitude (which actually means I have attitude) I moved us to better seats in a more central location. When some young woman who obviously worked for the show, and who may have had a problem with my shirt that says “Mel Gibson is an impotent,” asked me what I was doing, I simply replied “sitting in these seats.” When I asked if that was okay, and she said not really, but I could do what I wanted, so I thanked her and said “I want to sit here.” I would have moved if the people who “owned” the seats would have come to the show, but alas, they didn’t and we had a way better time as a result of my new aggressive attitude. And really no one “owns” seats, and truly I don’t mean to put impotent men in the same category as Mel Gibson, because that may truly be an insult to impotent men everywhere, but I didn’t make the shirt, I just wear it because I love how grammatically wrong it is.
Cho is hysterical. She’s truly a beautiful woman, and she’s all about showing that people are beautiful, and that beautiful people are not 5’11″ with blonde hair and blue eyes. And I loved her advice about how to have a happy marriage (Have sex with a lot of other people). As a bonus I am now a fan of Kelly, who I had no idea existed before last night, but after checking her out on Youtube I realize I may be the only one who didn’t know who she was.
The show was good, but I’m still not sure it was $50 good. Of course I’m not sure what a good $50 looks like, so maybe it was as good as it was supposed to be.
Otherwise, still living in sick land, even if it’s only in my head (literally, it’s a head cold) and counting down the last few days before I celebrate what the Dalai Lama would call my “day of suffering.” That is the day we are brought into this world.
Think about it. It makes sense.
