today officially marks this trip the longest time i have been away from home in a long time. and it is starting to take its toll. i love this town so much,, but the comfort of home is calling louder every day. that’s not to say that the idea of calling work and telling them i won’t be coming back isn’t terribly appealing. the one thing i have come to realize on this trip is that it is possible to do this for a living. and it becomes more appealing every minute. almost everyone i have met claims improvising as their job. we (atlanta) for the most part are the only ones with 9 to 5ers. there’s really no reason for it. the lifestyle i have come to love shouldn’t prevent me from being happy with what i do. maybe it’s a silly dream, maybe it’s an empty hope, but it is my goal to devote as much free time as i can to make it a reality. at least in some aspect of my life.

last night i managed to blow most of the money i won playing blackjack at the casino making a couple bonehead bets. and it is extremely hard to not go back there every day the rest of my time here to try and make more. it’s just too easy.

last night was also this dreadfully awesome gig at the mall i did with my fellow atlanta teammates and wes – a local edmonton improvisor. it was at the comic strip to a whopping 12 people, 2 of which were on their cell phones. we definitely made the best out of a pretty dismal situation.

also saw anchorman – or as i like to call it, the movie that steve carell steals. he’s a fucking riot in it.

tuesday night. hmmm. i honestly dont know if i saw any improv that night or not. but we wound up at a local bar – the black dog – with awesome music being played. the night found it’s way to chris condor’s house for an all night dance party. holy fuck what a fun time. all of us piled into his living room playing music and dancing til the wee hours of morning.

i still am not taking nearly enough pictures and my video taping has crawlwed to a stop. i gotta change all that these next few days. off to go blow money on records.
