My mum left this morning, at 6. And I'm the lazy sort of daughter who doesn't take her mother to airport. But it was at 6! And I made her stay up late doing my taxes (oh man, I'm such a bad person)..
It was a really nice visit. I wish I could have been less irritable and a better hostess... but this attic is just too small for two! I hope I have a nice big house for her to visit some day. (in Saskatoon).
We didn't get around to doing everything that we'd wanted to, but we did do quite a bit. I wish we'd gone to the island and to high park (I still really need to go to the island. soon. anyone?).
Mum came to see me do The Late Late Horror Show at Bad Dog on Saturday and it was probably the best I've done yet. Some parts were pretty hysterical, even parts that I was in!!!!
I couldn't stop laughing when I was supposed to be dead though.
I'm so Horatio Sans.
It was nice that my mum was able to come and see it. She was pretty proud, I bet.
Sunday we went to see so many things, ran from one place to the next. We had to, in this heat there's no way either of us wanted to be outdoors.
We saw The Stone Angel, we went to Second City, and then we went to see comedy at The Rivoli. Whoaly.
Ladies about town.
Yeah Sunday was better than Monday where I just made her do my taxes while I scoped babes on www.
The Rivoli has weird acoustics and people onstage seem to be able to hear everything any audience member says, with perfect clarity.. so when I said "no" instead of "yes" to wanting to hear a heart-warming story told by the night's MC, James Hartnett, I totally got called out on it. But it was pretty funny. Oh look, he has a blog!!: jameshartnett.blogspot.com (fuck I love the internet - so, so easy to be a creeper!).
He spent a lot of time talking about dads but didn't hear me constantly muttering about not having a dad and shooting dirty looks at my mother (who was also ignoring me)...
Such a funny show though. I have a pretty obnoxious squeal-laugh that sounds like a fire alarm or some other obnoxious shit, and I feel like I should keep a hold of it during shows sometimes...
That's especially hard when it's too funny. I especially like the short films shown by Deb Robinson (I looked for a website, to no avail) and especially the short called Sal by Levi Macdougall. It seriously murdered me. Seriously. Oh, look, you can watch more of his shorts here!
Why do I not spend more time going to comedy??? I don't even make sense to myself.
Especially since I'm pretty sure my New Boyfriend really likes comedy and is really funny.
I wonder who he is...
And why he hasn't come to me yet...
And especially because I'm going to be that funny pretty soon I bet.
