Random Confession #588

I studied acting while in college, as it was far easier to goof off than study Geometry.

Until the final exam, when I was cast as Brooke Ashton in "Noises Off"...

I HATED the guy I was supposed to be seducing...

...and was running around a very cold stage while wearing...uh...

...far less than I'm accustomed to.

Yep.  Sure am proud of THAT one.  [Seriously.  I got an A!]

Uh...

Well, now.  It seems that White Hot Drama has hit our dear Destruckto.  The eggshells we were walking on have apparently been exchanged for razor blades.  Yeah.  It's really that bad.

While I'd love to go all Joan Rivers and DISH, current legal situations prevent me from doing so.  There is no gag order (yet), but it's better to err on the side of caution.  This will probably turn into a news item pretty soon.

In the interim, please pardon me.  I'll be sitting in the back corner with some coffee, (kind of) enjoying the show.

Where I've Been...

I had intended to write at least weekly, but it seems that life has kind of gotten away from me.  So, as a means of appeasing my pals in the Writer's Workshop, I hereby present my list of excuses.  Instead of writing during the past few weeks, I have been engaged in the following:

1.  Being introduced [and immediately addicted] to the phenomena known as "30 Rock".

2.  As a result of #1, growing increasingly distracted and obsessed with the Size of Alec Baldwin's Head.  (Seriously!   It is GINORMOUS!)  Plus, Alec B. is Big and Tall...and TOTALLY my kind of guy.

3.  Deciding that, should I ever meet AB in person, I shall immediately throw my Edit Filter out the window (it's already broken, so why not) and yell, "DUDE.  That is one impressive skull!"

4.  Adding Comment Moderation to previous posts, as I have been the recipient of some of the WEIRDEST SPAM EVER.  [Seriously, y'all.  Who posts links to underwear websites?  I don't mean Adult Content sites, either.  I mean DRAWS, y'all.  Like Haines Her Way, but in another language.  ODD.]

5.  Reading "Wishful Drinking" by Carrie Fisher, "The Knight" by Stephen James, "The Idiot Girl and the Flaming Tantrum of Death" by Laurie Notaro, and "Ends of the Earth: A Bugman Novel" by Tim Downs.  I'm still reading the last one, which is an excellent escape from the daily grind.

6.  Dealing with the Ongoing Drama of Destruckto, which now apparently involves the EEOC.  THIS shall continue into the next few hundred days.  I have, to my surprise, been called to meet with the Greater Powers That Be.  While it's nice that they take employees seriously, it would have been NICER if they had been concerned before the complaints required a call to Outside Legal Help.  This won't end quietly, y'all.  I kind of expect it to end up on the news.  Yeah.  It's that kind of bad.

7.  Helping my daughter [from the sidelines] to prepare a Science Fair Project/report and EDIT her writing, baking large quantities of cinnamon bread, preventing her bedroom from becoming a toxic dump, and making bubble gum from scratch.

8.  Piling up large items to give to charity, and watching them collect dust in the corner.

9.  Laundry.

10.  Hanging out on Facebook instead.

I solemnly promise to do better in the future.  I'm up to Season 3 of 30 Rock, so it's only a matter of time...
