I got new glasses. I think. And, we need to make some changes that we can not afford. Well, don’t want to afford. No, can’t afford…

#201: I Taught The Other Guy to Take My Job

February 18th, 2010

wave_form

I taught the other guy to take my job. Luckily for me, it took him three years to learn. Unluckily, eventually he did learn… Don’t worry, no names are mentioned in the telling of this tale…

“So, Klass, what exactly do you do for work? Yell into your iPod?”

I’m at a fork in the road, career wise, and need to come to grips with the fact that the only way I will survive is to accept both Dans.  And hope that others can too.

Did you know you can’t take photos of the merchandise at CostCo?  How else am I supposed to get approval on everything?

Lastly, to be clear: The Premium Shows are at “96,” the free shows are at “64.” Still better than “32.”

#200: Return of the Load Bearing Stud (aka My Cousin Died)

February 10th, 2010

When exactly does death truly occur?  When your heart stops?  When you stop breathing?  When you buy a minivan?  And, if you die, can you come back?  If you come back, were you really dead?  If you really do die, and enough people sign a petition, can you come back the next fall on another network?

I think my cousin died.  And we all died a little with him.

#199 - Stand and Deliver

January 26th, 2010

standanddeliver

It’s been raining.  A lot.  Buckets and buckets, to the point where the house is warping out of recognition and it is messing with my head.  And the alarm system.  (Don’t worry robbers, it’s fixed)

Hudson has to (gets to) dress as  John Hancock and John Paul Jones (the American revolutionary, not the bass player for Led Zepplin) for an upcoming school event, Walk Through the American Revolution.  I can’t wait.  It was my big New Wave Drama Geek chance to dress him up like Adam Ant from Stand and Deliver.  Nice.  Some great finds at the local Goodwill Store.  The key to good will?  Give first…

The kids markered all over the dining table with a Sharpie.  Yet, somehow, I managed to be the one to ruin the finish…

Hudson and I recommend Fantasyland Costume Company.

#198: Going Nowhere

January 15th, 2010

I  had part of a song stuck in my head for 30 years.  My friend Timmy B and I went to see a band play live back in 1981 or ‘82 called, wait, what was their name?   Kind of a reggae-rock sound, like The Police.  A local band?  Anyone?  Well, thanks to the joys of Google and YouTube, now, thirty years later, the entire song is stuck in my head…

My kids have been going to comedy college, studying the works of Ball and Marx and Borge.   Hey, better than Jonas and Montana and Spongepants.

I participated in a script reading.  You sit around and read a movie script for a movie someone is hoping to produce.  The reading was at the home of a horror movie starlet, and included the tall blonde character comedienne and the young dude from the vampire show.  Not bad.  Now, if you know my history around “famous” people at all (Meg Ryan, Bebe Neuwirth, George Clooney) you know I usually manage to make an ass out of myself.  Well, this time no such luck.  At least I think so.  I  wonder if I could get the phone number of the movie star girl and see if she thought I seemed like an idiot of not.  Although I assume the call would cinch it…

THANK YOU to Miché Fambro for letting me use “Going Nowhere.”  Check out the video on YouTube, and check out all of Miché’s work, past and present, at Miche.com.

#197: Buying Tilapia and the Claw

January 4th, 2010

dlbooth

So, how is it the I had never heard of tilapia until 2008? I’d heard of tuna, cod, swordfish, salmon, etc. but never tilapia. Now, of course, since 2008 I’ve eaten seventy pounds of the stuff.

Do we really need the world gourmand? Perhaps a gourmet and a gourmand both have refined palates, but the gourmand enjoys the food more?

While shopping for tilapia (which I bought) and chicken breast (which they didn’t have),  I managed to knock over the < Febreze© display and miss a rather important text message from my wife.

I had to take the kids to IKEA, to buy a coffee table that we were hoping to turn into a desk for Hudson.  We barely made it there.  And, we barely made it out.  We finally did buy the coffee table, and ended up witnessing two very unlikely events (both due to my daughter)

Yes, that is a photo of David Lawrence’s headshot at Fuddruckers.  STOP STARING AT ME!  I’M TRYING TO EAT!
