Well, it’s been a minute, to use a phrase that I absolutely detest.  Why does that phrase remind me of girls that wear backwards hats and vapes?  Girls, don’t wear backwards hats, just smoke a cigarette like a normal person.  Anyways, I am currently living in Austin.  I moved out here for the comedy scene, if I remember correctly.  I’ve done like three mics in three months.  It’s nice and approachable though, it’s not all exclusive and daunting like in L.A. where they are funny.

Even more currently, I’m staying in a pharmaceutical research clinic for some cash [not extra cash, just cash].  If I only moved to Austin to discover this place, it will have been worth it.  They give you a bed and food and $3,000 for a week, and all you have to do is try a pill that you know you would have tried anyways if you found it in your grandma’s medicine cabinet.

I tried to convince myself I’d turn into a fiction-writing madman in here, but it’s tough when you can’t drink coffee or exercise or admit to yourself that you are too selfish to write fiction.  I just want to talk about myself and complain about how I have too much freedom and it feels like a tragedy is looming over me, waiting for the other shoe to drop.  I’ve got it!  I won’t even try to focus or figure my life out, all I will try to do is not be completely and utterly lame, but other than that I will let the cards lay where the may.  Man I am full of sayings today.  Hey, at least I’m pretending to learn French on the eternally useless Duolingo, and last night I made a shitty little music video of an even shittier freestyle Rap Colin, Dogen, and I threw down last spring in Laguna.  Want to see it?
