The signature for my email is visit this site, and every time I send an email, I ask myself, " What am I sending people here to see? I have fallen all the way off with the Daily Highku (sorry, Lori), and I probably need to get back to that. I should also just blog. Like, use this as a real web log. Like "I had coffee today, and it was delish."
Seriously, though, I live in Dallas, Texas now, and everyone is like, "How's Dallas?" and I'm always like, "It's cool," 'cause really I have only seen a small part of Dallas. I haven't started working yet, so the only places I go are church and the comedy club. Duality, am I right?
The comedy scene I frequent is really cool. Really young. I'm older than everyone there, including the club's owner, and that's really exciting. I feel like I found the comedy fountain of youth. The improv class has me on my feet again, exercising a muscle that hasn't seen a gym in years. There are differences in style, and I'm appreciating that. I have no desire to be the old guard running around screaming, "That's not how that's done," because a) clearly it is, and b) I think it's extremely important to respect the house. And the house is great and worthy of respect.
I just recently started TA-ing a sketch class, and that's super fun. It's forcing me to write more often, which is what I need. I should be writing all the time, but the truth is, I usually do a ton of writing when I know a new show is coming up. This class is really going to serve me well as a writer because I will be tasked with writing, which will put me on a schedule I can and aim to maintain once the class ends. I am also hoping to become an integral part of the sketch program at the club, and this will help me understand how the house approaches sketch.
I must also come here more often. Just in case someone gets an email and actually visits the site.
Cheers!
