Just a few odds and ends right now. I can't believe I decided to do a Fight tonight; in addition to discovering in the middle of a moment of silence at 8:45 that Maybe I'm Not Over September 11 As Much As I Thought I Was, I still have to write the whole fucking show. Not one joke done yet. So any and all creativity my rapidly addling brain might have left in it will have to towards making the show so good that I don't feel like an evil cocksucker for having decided to do it.
In lieu of my own interesting stuff, a couple of pointers. First Tycho over at Penny Arcade has a great post today, and even though I fell in love with that site for the hysterically funny cartoons, I am constantly amazed at how good the writing is. To wit:
This is history, and listen up, because it's Goddamn important. If people can recollect and deify people for wearing jerseys and hitting balls, or jumping very high let's say, then you and I can catalogue the moments particular to our own fascination and invest them with gravity and power. Also, a real shit-storm brewing over on the Kvetch Board about whether acting is harder/more artistic than standup. My own view (and I have a BFA in theatre -- the most useless degree in the universe - the entire universe; there are people on other planets and other dimensions more employable than me) is that if acting is artistic coffee, then standup is artistic crack. It's more intense, more difficult, and more rewarding on every level.
