Me and Eric and Geoff went to see a play tonight (=last night) called "Gagarin Way", at A Red Orchid Theater.  I feel like such a hick ‘cuz I never see plays.  If I do, I tend to like anything I see, and I sure liked this one a lot.  Eric says they’re not always this good though, heheh.  (Meaning plays in general, that you might see out in the wild.) Those were some good actors fer sure.  How do they do that?  I sure couldn’t do that shit for five minutes much less five nights a week for an hour and a half.  Tuning out a whole audience fulla people and remembering all them damn lines and making it look like it’s REAL and all… it’s crazy.  I guess it’s like me remembering all those lyrics and being able to tune out all those people talking while I’m trying to play… shit, at least nobody’s talking while they’re trying to act!!  That would suck!!!  But still, I think my job’s a helluva lot easier.  Because I’m allowed to screw up.  I can take swigs of beer between songs, I can make up jokes, I can reply to hecklers, I can change my setlist if I forget the first line of a song, I can alter my performance a million ways and get away with it.  But if you did the same thing as an stage actor, you’d be screwing up the play.  I don’t think I could be a frickin’ actor, dude.  That’d be rough.

I’m sure this is normal, but I’ve been feeling really crappy in the mornings and early afternoons, then once I get moving around a bit, I’m much better.  I went to meet Eric for supper and didn’t feel so hot, but once I got there I felt pretty good!  My voice is almost almost back to normal again, so that’s a huge relief right there.  And the weather’s been so nice in Chicago the past few days, it feels so good to walk around and soak up all them blue skies n’ fresh airs.

I’m totally miserable, sick with the flu, ugh.  It sucks.  But you know what doesn’t suck?  My dad got me a present that got delivered today: a schweet new 40-gig iPod photo!!!  I’m so excited, how awesome is that?  He did it because I’ve been helping him a lot, giving him tech support over the phone to figure out his new iPod.  What a great present!!!  For that he gets free 24-hour EF brand tech support for as long as he needs it.  Well, he had that already but who’s counting, heheh.

I spent way too long last night gaping in horror at the Hall of Douchebags.  Thanks a lot Eric!!  ;-) Man, I’ll never look at railroad tracks or brick walls the same way again.

I wish I could write like Darling Nikki!!  She’s writin’ frickin’ Neuromancer over there and I’m all "I like to take BATHS!" ::sigh::  I guess I yam what I yam.  But I wish I could write like Darling Nikki.
