Wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve written here. If anyone is still reading, I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me. I would promise to never let it happen again, but both you and I know that would be a lie.

To get you caught up, here is a list of miscellaneous items from the past few weeks. They are presented in no particular order.

• I had a very nice Christmas, New Year’s Eve and several days in between, thank you.
• Improv 200, my second official Unexpected Productions improv class, starts tomorrow. Yay!
• In between Improv 100 and Improv 200, I’ve been keeping myself plenty busy with other improvy things.
• I started taking singing lessons to overcome my singaphobia. I’m not going to be auditioning for American Idol any time soon, but my teacher says I’m not hopeless. Yes, I know she probably says that to all of her students. I’d appreciate it if you could refrain from bursting my bubble. Thanks.
• I got a new cell phone. I was considering a T-Mobile/HTC Dash (a Windows Mobile phone), but I went with the Blackberry Pearl instead. I have once again avoided purchasing my first Windows device.
• I’m incredibly excited that the new season of reality TV is starting up. I’ll definitely be watching The Apprentice and American Idol. The jury is still out on Grease: You’re the One that I Want. Don’t laugh.
• Every time the wind blows now, I start feeling sick to my stomach. I’m sure the power is going to go out any minute. And the wind has been blowing a lot lately.
• I’ve been hard at work on various writing projects, which is part of why I haven’t had the energy to write here. I’ve gotta have my priorities.
• It is your moral duty to vote for Kyle Cease at Comedy Central’s Stand-up Showdown. Go do it now. I’ll wait.
• The Ducks football team was a great disappointment this year. I’m still holding out hope for the Seahawks.
• I’m really happy with the Blackberry Pearl, but I still don’t quite get the cameraphone thing. Yeah, it would be great to have a camera with me everywhere I go if the picture quality didn’t suck ass. Unfortunately, it does. Wake me up when there’s a cameraphone that can take pictures as good as the ones from Apple Quicktake 200 I got ten years ago.
• Great deals are to be had at the mall on the day after Christmas, but you have to be ready to stand in line for twenty minutes waiting for one person to return something. Why can’t the stores have “purchases only” registers running on that day?
• If I ever start seriously considering auditioning for American Idol, please kill me.
• When the top button of my brand new jeans broke off, I was happy I’d decided to wear a belt that day. I’m sure my improv partners were too.
• I was ready for this winter to be over before it was even officially winter.
• Our outside Christmas lights are still up. I’m sorry. At least we’re not turning them on anymore. I’ll have them down by next weekend. Really.
• I liked The Holiday better than The Pursuit of Happyness. Hey, I said don’t laugh!
• If I were female, I’d be all over the “Win a date with Lee Eisenberg” contest. Don’t think I didn’t consider making a MySpace profile for my female alter ego so I could enter.
• Butter is good.
