Yeah, remember when I used to love doing my taxes? Yeah well, things have changed. Now it's all receipts and shit, which is like... I don't know if you knew this, but receipts are little tiny pieces of paper, and little tiny pieces of paper SUCK. They get in your food and your hair and stuck in the drains and in your headspace and they make life less fun than it could be. Did I tell you my sister got audited last year? While trying to earn her PhD and plan a wedding? Yeah, that part sucked. So, how have you been? I've been good. I went out East AGAIN but this time for a funeral (not fun -- GET YOUR PAP SMEARS, PLEASE, LADIES) and an opera (more fun than silk underpants), and work. The opera, can I just tell you... two of my favorite people on Earth put together an OPERA. Like an official one, with grants and sponsorships and "presented by the Washington Performing Arts Society" and all that shit. It's called The Nitrate Hymnal and it is seriously, seriously sexcellent. You know how you're always like "wouldn't it be great if everything on earth were punk instead of just rock music and some magazines and the occasional food co-op? like car companies and films (not just "indie film" as we know it, but full on PUNK, fully DIY production and distro) i don't know, operas?" Well if you didn't know you were always like that, now you do. Anyway, Bob and David (not that Bob and David) have been doing "Punk Not Rock" stuff for years and now they made an opera. From scratch. How fucking cool is that? And even better, it got like good reviews from regular opera people. Because it is NOT a rock opera. It is an OPERA OPERA. So hot right now. Anyway, hopefully they'll get to tour with it and you'll get to see it. Also, I had this adventure in NYC: I always have this thing for this guy that writes for Conan? He's on sometimes, on the screen, and I'm always like "HI! You're my TV crush!" and somehow it's all the sweeter because it's a NY show so i'm not going to run into him in los angeles? So it feels like he's genuinely a distant almost-star crush rather than someone I'm going to see waiting in line for the bathroom? Andy Blitz is his name. Anyway, he was at this comedy show I went to and my companion for the evening actually knew him, so I got to meet my TV crush! AND i got to meet Fred Armisen, because evidently he used to date my college friend who now lives in Chicago and she just happened to be there that night and he came up and said "Hi! Adriana said you said something nice about me on your website!" and i said "totally!" and he said "I'm Fred!" and he's nicer than 8 pies and a bag of pistachios. Thunk at 02:23 PM |
