Filming Update
Christian has Oren Briner lined up to direct his DVD extras which we'll be filming on February 8th at College Humor's studios. Paquita has been officially cast as the Chihuahua and my hope is that she doesn't blow it. She's in her fake pregnancy stage right now which will hopefully pass soon so she's back to normal for the cameras. Though, fake pregnancy or not, she'll do anything for a Pupperoni treat. We'll see. The roles of the real life pole vaulter and sex shop worker have also been filled, so thanks to all who responded.
More thrillingly, along with Oren, our friend Pete Holmes are finalists in the Doritos Crash the Superbowl Contest. This means they get to go to the Superbowl to see if their commercial wins in real-time. You can vote for their spot "New Flavor Pitch" (which features one of my favorite Ochi's & Comix comedians Matt McCarthy) every day here: www.crashthesuperbowl.com/#/gallery/
Voting also enters you to win tickets to the Super Bowl.

Inauguration Day
Ooooh boy, today's the day! I'm so excited to watch the events unfold with my friends at the Comix bar. If y'all need a place to gather. We'll have the showroom open as well.
Paquita looks so cute and pathetic walking in the snow that people can't help but comment on her. This morning a guy said, "Hey Miss, can you walk me next?" His buddy answered, "If you pick up your own poop."
Heh.
Christian is in Atlanta this weekend performing at the Punchline. He and I are looking forward to it. We've both of us home so much over the last two months we're kind of sick of each other. We're not used to so much togetherness!

A Petty Officer and a Gentleman
Moving in to your horse's barn because your trailer got repossessed is what some folks might call a low point. It was time for a drastic change, so my parents moved us to the big city of N. Richland Hills, TX.
It was there -- when I was 16 -- I met a 22 year old Sailor. It was love at first sight. It was greatest four weeks of my life. The Petty Officer from Akron, Ohio, was shy, tan and muscular and drove a white Trans Am with a fake vent on its hood. Mom said he looked just like JFK, Jr. The movie Top Gun had just been released so when I first saw him covered in grease from working on an F-14 Tomcat I thought my uterus would crawl out of my vagina and snatch him whole and devour him like a hungry Venus flytrap from a Roger Corman flick.

Memories from My Old Country Home
I sent an old friend from Montgomery, TX my yearbooks from our 6th, 7th, and 8th grade years and she mailed me her senior year yearbook. I knew some of the students since I was seven years old. If we hadn't moved to Ft. Worth before my 10th grade year, I would have graduated with them. So it was genuinely interesting and also kind of heartwarming to see them in a way I hadn't seen them before: older than when I left them, about to embark on a new phase of their lives.
After going through the Facebook Page I mentioned below, Mom decided to mail me some old photos I don't have and some other notes and tidbits she's kept over the years to add to the page.
And, best of all, as a Christmas surprise, my brother mailed me an old wrought iron bell in the shape of a longhorn. We used to ring it when we wanted my horse Charlie Brown to come back to the barn for food or I wanted to saddle him up for a ride. It's been through a lot, not unlike me, my brother and mom. Looking at it brings back so many memories and I'm grateful to him for sending it. I'm going to hang it alongside an old kerosene lamp my mom mailed me a year or so ago. We used to use the lamp in the months before we had electricity. The knob to raise and lower the wick is rusted and stuck, so I doubt it will be in working order again but, like the bell, it's a lovely inspiration and a reminder of my country roots displayed in my New York City apartment.

More Randomness
My parakeets have discovered the joys of walking instead of flying. It's fun to see them explore. For example, Dinah is having endless fun in front of my new floor-length mirror, a Christmas gift from Christian. I worry I might step on them, though. I've never had to wonder if a bird is at my feet.
I highly recommend the "In the Womb" series on National Geographic. Weed smoking not required because it is a genuine mind FREAK.

Boooooo!
I woke up with Christian's cold so I won't be performing tonight at SpeakEasy Stories. But, I was rescheduled for the show on the 20th. I updated my calendar page with the details. Sorry for the last minute change and I hope you'll come out for the next one.

I Wonder
If a deaf schizophrenic still hears voices.
If anyone else kept the shoes they walked home in on 9/11. Or the shoes they walked in for Blackout of '04. Why it took my passport only 1.5 weeks to arrive. Aren't we in post-9/11? A white girl from TX isn't scary as all git out?
How I never opened the drawer that held the jeans I'm now wearing in over two years. These jeans are phenomenal.
Why Maybelline, the bunny I rescued while in NOLA after Katrina, doesn't like coming out of her cage anymore. Sideways sad face.
What story I should tell on Tuesday at SpeakEasy Stories.
If anyone else's rent did not go up. Ours stayed the same for the first time in four years.
Why I'm so attached to clothes I haven't worn in ages.
Where all these pens came from.
