Today I helped people at work do shit and it was good! I love helping.
I have to write a bunch of runners, which is a series of blackouts. A blackout is a skit that doesn’t last longer than sixty seconds … I think of it like cutaways on Family Guy – a short that is unrelated to the main story. On Sunday I also signed up for Writing 2 and I walked across the street for a beavertail after class.
For my artist date today, I went to see You Hurt My Feelings (2023) at Scotia Theatre. (The rail yard isn’t open on Tuesdays). It’s not the type of movie I would normally watch but I enjoyed it and I loved how the characters felt real/relatable and the jokes were natural, just part of the conversations. The film is a comedy/drama which is a genre that I never watch and that makes no sense to me cause I wanna make people laugh (and think which could make them uncomfortable – if you’re uncomfortable can you still haha? IDK!)
Also … yesterday I watched Can We Take A Joke (2015). Last Sunday our Second City teacher gave us random pics of people and we have to create a character out of them and write a monologue – which was super cool. I will take this exercise with me where ever I go; I like starting with a visual first.
I’m sleeping over at Dee’s and hopefully, when I go home the boys will be dead! (Lord! I pray that Dre remembered to clean the kitchen and take out the garbage/recycling/compost before his demise.)
Sayonara bitches!
