Bad squid, good comedy
Bad squid, good comedy
Not a whole lot going on here at the moment. I did get bored the other day and--after watching Oldboy again--ate squid for the first time. While my squid's tentacles weren't flailing about my eyes, cheeks and chin (because mine was dead when I bit into it), it also wasn't that good. Neither was the Peking duck. In fact, that buffet sucked.
Well, the broccoli chicken was okay, but everything else tasted like the Grade B it earned.
I worked a country music video today, too. When I showed up, I discovered I was hand-picked to be the groom (the main principal role besides the girl who actually had to audition). Unfortunately I was too short for the bride, so they choose one of the other, taller dudes. Goddamn you, Hollywood. Why are you superficial about my height when I need you to only be superficial about my looks? I got the consolation of getting to hang out with a bunch of NASCAR fans instead. (They were nice NASCAR fans, but that doesn't absolve them of that particular sin.)
In addition, I got caught reading The Comics Journal by one of the other background kids again today. After the inevitable, "You do stand-up?" I had to turn the journal toward them--the panels on the page inevitably being some illustration between loving and consenting adults--and explain that the journal is about comic books, not stand-up comics. Then the following:
So are you an actor?
ME
Actually I'm more of a writer.
GIRL
(beat, poorly covered look of disgust)
How's that going for you?
ME
About as well as my acting.
Hi-oooooooooo! *drum kick* (audience chuckles, applauds)
I also got to use this line tonight:
Man. If I had a nickel the number of times I've woken up naked in a dry bath tub with a dead hooker in the next room...
JESSIE (my girlfriend)
(stares blankly, waiting for the punchline)
ME
Well, I'd only have fifteen cents, but still...
We watched Dark City tonight. The previous will make sense to all those who have also seen it. Or it'll still baffle you, and I will've just made another gratuitous dead hooker joke. The world just keeps on keepin' on.
Maybe I'll put up a picture of Jessie sometime soon. Maybe...(if I remember).
