'Conviction (1)'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
(And the answer to "D" is "Seattle". Duh.)Ah the realm of the princess who rules over all tickyboxes.
The woozy is wee but just enough that I'm not keen to drive just yet.
Okay, I am pushing the time back, with optional rescheduling, if I still feel either woozy (yay pills) or like I want to crumple into a ball and die (boo pills not being efficient).
I'm going to take the shower and see how I feel after.
That sounds like a wise choice, Cass.
Yay, ita! And, because I can't remember diddlysquat and am too lazy to go back and look, when is the test?
yay ita
glad you got the answer you wanted.
I just had a loverly dinner with a friend that I haven't seen in WAY tooo long. She moved to CT a year or so ago. good Friday night.

AVC: What was that like?
SC: I spent my first two years at a small all-male college in Virginia called Hampden-Sydney. That was like going to college 120 years ago. The languages, a year of rhetoric, all of the great books, Western Man courses, stuff like that. Very regimented curriculum, and a 19th-century emphasis on rhetoric and grammar—and all male. And very conservative. Then I transferred to finish up at the Northwestern School Of Speech, where it was guys and girls on the same floor in my dorm, a quarter of my class was gay, and I was calling my teacher not "Professor," but "Ann," and she was coming over and partying at my apartment and crashing on the couch. It was a completely different experience.

AVC: How did you become involved with Second City?
SC: When I was an undergrad, I met this guy named Del Close, who was sort of a godfather of comedy in Chicago, and a lot of people had sort of a guru relationship with him, which I did not have. I never got to know him well enough. But he and a woman named Charna Halpern were starting the ImprovOlympic, and at the time, it was a competitive, freeform, one-act, long-form improvisation. And they were looking for colleges to do competitions at their theater, the Annoyance Theater by the Belmont el stop in Chicago. And a friend of mine said, "We should go down and check this out," and he already knew something about Del and Charna. And I went and saw it once and was stunned by how much I wanted to go do it. We formed a team—we would go down on Tuesday nights and perform for audiences at the cabaret, and at the same time, I was taking more of a formal theater training. And when I got out of college, I wasn't gonna do Second City, because those Annoyance people looked down on Second City because they thought it wasn't pure improv—there was a slightly snobby, mystical quality to the Annoyance people, the ImprovOlympic people.
But I needed a job when I got out of college, and a friend of mine was box-office manager at Second City, and she said, "Well, just come answer phones." And then I found out classes were free if you work there, and I wanted to do something other than try to go get an acting job… I was so afraid of not being hired. And I found out that I really liked the people who worked there, that they were really trying hard to do something new and interesting. The form there was a little ossified, but it wasn't for lack of trying. It was just sort of like there was an inertia. I met some wonderful people, and it was a happy accident. I hadn't intended to end up there. I meant to be a serious actor with a beard who wore a lot of black and wanted to share his misery with you.
I might have ended up with a crush on AU!misery sharing Stephen Colbert. Although I do think he's a total hoot as a comic. Even if it took me a long time to enjoy the Repor'
my tv will not stay turned on. The remoste seems to have no effect on it, and even pushing the power button on the set is not turning it on everytime. Then it will turn off and back on just out of teh blue, sometimes 3 or 4 times in a row. I think I have a poltergeist.
Mine kept turning off a few nights ago. During Supernatural.
Mine fixed my computer (that I thought had a dead motherboard) and tried to deliver my replacement iPod today. Ima keep my poltergeists for my very own.
The woozy is over. I have showered. Now heading to friend's to lounge in front of the tv and will replace computer's power supply tomorrow. Glad the woozy is gone, I hate that shit.
