Five days from now I will be flying to Seattle and boarding the lovely Norwegian Sky for a seven-day cruise to Alaska. I am giddy with anticipation about this.

People keep asking me why I wanted to take a cruise to Alaska. The idea had never really occurred to me before a year and a half ago, when my friend Shawn was searching for random vacation deals. He asked me if I had any interest in Alaska and I must have looked at him as though he had two heads because he never mentioned it again. But the idea stayed in my head and so when I got a bonus at work last year, I started investigating cruise lines. Now my cruise is less than a week away and I'm so excited that I can't sit still!

Sigh... sadly, I have to focus this energy on work.

FIVE MORE DAYS!!

Yay! My improv troupe's new website is online, thanks to Jason and rOD.

We're in Boston. We do improv. We're Comedie du Jour. It's all about Boston improv, yay!

Strange people. Great improv. Tired blogger. G'night.

So, I'm packing for my trip to Alaska (twodaystwodaystwodays) and I'm noticing something about my suitcase. It looks big from the outside. But I swear, it's an optical illusion. I put three pairs of pants and a jacket in there and it's half full! I have no idea how I am going to fit shirts and skirts and everything else I need in there... sheesh. Who knew vacationing would be so complicated?

Actually, the ice woman wenteth and hath cometh home. Lots of details about my trip are forthcoming. Stay tuned...

I want to apologize.

I have been notably bad about keeping up with my blogging. Vacation was... well, it was a vaction from everything, including blogging. But since I have been back I have told my Alaska stories a gazillion times and I am like to tell them a bazillion more. Literally.

So what have I been doing with my time since I got back from vacation? I shall show you.

First, there are my recent game obsessions - Candy Train, Mini Putt, and Copter Crash. They pass the time when I should be busy doing work or something.

I've also been reading a lot of magazines. Don't know why really, but I just finished a series of several really good books and I guess I don't want to ruin the streak. This month is the 15th anniversary of Premiere magazine. Good issue. Right now their message board is discussing the top teen movies ever. Go vote for The Breakfast Club.

Gosh, what else have I been doing? Sleeping. Eating. Breathing.

Oh, and shopping for mutual funds. I want to open up a Roth IRA so I need to figure out what the heck I want to invest in. Through some miracle of God, I have actual managed to invest my 401(k) money in funds that have not completely tanked, so I am attempting to choose some other winners. Cross your fingers for me.

Yes, I know that last link had nothing to do with crossing one's fingers and everything to do with counting on them. So sue me.

Okay, I need to go work on.. um... work. And I need to take a nap. Got a show tonight!

I know. That wasn't so much a real blog as it was just a random collection of links. Again, sue me.

This is just plain funny. The sequel isn't as good, but go to 'The Other Side' and check out some of the other ones. Fun.

Okay, here's the main page for the animations mentioned in my last post. They're funny as hell. Twisted. Go there. Conform. Consume. Obey. (Those being the sentiments of Mr. Snaffleburger.)
