At last, the weekend is upon us - hooray! Work has been painfully slow these days and, with the prospect of job cuts in the next few months, staff morale is at an all-time low. Needless to say, every evening and weekend is more treasured than ever.
Tonight we are having our customary Friday dinner and movie with one of our closest friends. The movie will likely be Defending Your Life, written and directed by Albert Brooks. I've been in a real comedy mood lately - listening to endless amounts of Marc Maron podcasts (thanks to SB's backlog of podcasts I've been listening to old interviews with Jon Hamm, Aziz Ansari, Ira Glass, Louie CK and many more) and now I'm onto new comedy podcasts such as Dana Gould's.
We're actually seeing Dana Gould do stand-up at the Acme Comedy club in Minneapolis one week from today. I'm psyched, although I admit that the thought of seeing live stand-up kind of makes me nervous/anxious. Since Dana Gould comes prepared with material and doesn't have a particularly off-the-cuff style, I'm thinking we'll be safe from audience call-outs or participation of any kind. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, anyway. But yes, overall, very excited - it is such a different experience, the whole comedy club environment (and I've heard a lot of comics mention that Acme is a cool club). Should be fun. It is good to laugh, and laughing in a group can be even better.
