We saw Robin Williams at Bimbos 365 club lastnight. He went for a solid two hours and it was almost all new stuff. It was hysterical. Since it's a working show, there were times when he tried a new joke and no one laughed, and you kind of feel bad for him, but then if you fake laugh he won't know how bad the joke really is. He would comment on how quiet we, or how that joke flopped, and he'll start to get his momentum back. Sometimes he just starts talking in a funny voice to see if it will kick off a joke. Towards the end he told the crowd that he was playing Vegas this weekend and needed to test things out on us. His material is really fast, densely packed, and he keeps the energy up the whole time. We loved it.
Today I'm taking apart some Ikea furniture and some old filing and paperwork. I take small piano practice breaks. So imagine cardboard boxes stacked five feet high in the middle of a room and from somewhere behind them the plunking sounds of "the Battle Hymn of the Republic". That's a stress break.

My parents took us to Mother Angelica's shrine in AL for Ash Wednesday this
year. It was great. The spontaneity of travelling with my parents...

I have some little lyrics for you to put to a tune while you're packing today! "I am here with my old ikea stuff, it is so nice to finally get to that dust! Oh crap, I chipped a shelf, something else to fix again. Maybe I'll just stack these in the backyard, and no one will see it...I wonder how much those movers get paid, and I wonder if they chip stuff too!? Do oppossums like to climb shelving, cause if they do, they'll follow me for sure...Robin Williams was so funny, he must like eggs too....
Whadaya think? lololol
it's awesome!! You have the gift!!
maya likes carrot juice and it turns her poop bright orange. did you think robin was short?
i hate packing...but it's exciting to unpack. we cleared some vines away from our A/C unit outside. the air is blowing colder and we set the temp on 81 with no need to lower it! it feels like it's blowing 77..plus we installed 2 more fans..1 in the kitchen & 1 in the "office"/ entrance. thinking of buying a deep freezer chest for the veggies & fruit..& a few trips to sams to buy bulk stuff.
I can't believe you guys are fighting that heat already!
I think that Maya's orange poop may be her super power.
Robin is probably short, but can't tell when he's alone on stage. He likes throwing water on himself. Alot. Weird. Funny weird.
