This weekend has been good. I have completed another scene and I am almost finished with the rough cut for another. very productive. Yesterday, My father drove down form MN to collect all of my belongings that I could fit into a white dodge minivan. I am now down to a small collection of books and dvds, my computer, and some clothes. I slept on a matt on the floor last night. My back is sore, but a good sore, as if someone straightened it out.
On Friday night, my friend Paul and I performed a choreographed humorous piece for No Shame Theatre. Paul has been doing No Shame for a long time. He is very talented and fun to work with. There was a sold out crowd and I have been informed that our piece received a half standing ovation. I had a lot of fun and I am really glad I was able to tap dance in an office chair in front of a large audience of people. The feeling was comparable to not having to pay for sex.
Nearly a month. AN ENTIRE FOUR WEEKS since my last update. Reason/Excuses: I had surgery on my right foot. I was out of town and I did not have access to my web site. Another reason is that I have been super duper busy in the last couple weeks and I have not had a spare moment, until now to update this sucker. I apologize.
Well, a lot has happened in the last month. I have made a lot of progress on my movie. No, sorry, it is not done yet. Classes are back in session and it is good to see a lot of people I missed over the summer. The majority of my friends have moved away, so my social life was beginning to look at little translucent. (for some reason I am still busy all the time– i think that might be good, but I am unsure) Mr. Show Season 3 came out and I have been laughing. (in ways, this could be bad–you know it.)
I find it funny that the one moment I get to write down the events of the last month and my memory seems to be blocked. I am sure the unfunny anecdotes and streams of bullshit will come to me later and I will surely update you.
The one thing that does stand out about this last month is the loss of my friend Matt Davis. Matt was 26. He was a wonderful human being. It is customary for people to only remember the good things after a particular person’s death. In Matt’s case, though, there were only good things to remember. Honestly, he was that good of a guy. It is hard to think that he is gone. I will miss him a lot and I know many others will, as well.

After attending Matt’s memorial service, a couple people asked me how it was. I was initially surprised to say that I actually had a good time. While we were all in a mournful state, I felt that we were celebrating Matt and his life. I laughed a lot. I feel lucky that I had a chance to know Matt Davis.
Aprille Clarke has a nice memorial to Matt here
