Consider This Conversation Started 

Yesterday (Saturday) while Carrie was hanging out with Missa & Linnea in the morning, I saw the final-ever episode of Teen Titans (which I had never before seen). Now there are only two or three episodes I haven't seen...

Around noontime Carrie & I went with the Tarbet women to the Gig Harbor Farmer's Market. We didn't end up getting anything except for something to eat and drink. But what a something to eat! It was an Onion Dog, which consisted of a rather large Polish sausage wrapped in freshly-fried bread and topped with sauteéd onions. A tonne of onions. And how do I know the bread was freshly fried? Because I watched the woman roll it out and then dunk it in the deep fat fryer. It was plenny spectacular. The giant cup of lemonade cost almost as much as the dog, though. While we were wandering around and eating, Last Chance Romeos were performing live.

The afternoon was spent watching that World Series of Pop Culture show on VH1 and using crackers to eat brie with a yummy basalmic reduction syrup (à la Carrie).

I was actually the first person to get to Studio 321 for Fools Play. It was rather surprising to me. It was a brand-new format, the full-show-length version of Conversation Starter. It went really, really well, with only a couple of flubs (but not so that the audience would ever notice). I hope some of the songs sound okay; I'd like at some point to actually be able to hear some of the Fools Play audio other than what's in the Theater space on Fools Play Island...

Afterwards we went to Rib Eye, and I actually ended up being one of the last people to leave instead of one of the first people... but I still only left like 20-30 minutes later than I usually do. I explained to a couple of audience members that I had a problem. You see, I touch the fire and it freezes me. I look into it and it's black. Why can't I feel? My skin should crack and peel. I want the fire back. And also every single night it's the same arrangement: I go out and fight the fight. Still I always feel this strange estrangement; nothing here is real, nothing here is right. I've been making shows of trading blows just hoping no one knows that I've been going through the motions, walking through the part. Nothing seems to penetrate my heart. (Mike & I have been showing off that we have the Buffy musical memorized).

I still eagerly await recordings of the Musical show to pop online. Ed's last song about plumbing would also be great to see online, as it was epic.
