Sneak Preview

Whenever I’ve worked at an office, for whatever reason I always find myself being the guy who the late twenty/early thirty-something women talk to about their romantic frustrations. Maybe it’s not just me and they’ll talk to anyone who will feign interest, but the point is I often find myself on the listening end of something like “No offense, Adam but why are guys such morons? If I went out with somebody Friday and he emailed me on Saturday to tell me he had a nice time and ask if I’d like to go out again and then I emailed him on Monday seeing if he wanted to go to a movie sometime this week and now it’s Friday and he never replied to the email or called or anything, what’s his deal? I mean if he didn’t like me in the first place why would he have emailed me the next day talking about what a good time he had and asking me out again? Can you explain this to me? And I usually sit there and try to piece together the mystery asking questions like “You guys had a nice time on your date?” “I mean I thought so.” “And this was your first date?” “Well we met at my friend Lisa’s work function but I guess that wasn’t technically a date so I guess it was our first date.” “And it’s been four days and no word from him, huh? That’s really strange. I don’t get it. I mean the only, only thing that I could possibly think of is that you are shockingly unattractive, I don’t know, maybe he’s got a thing about that, but otherwise, I’m totally stumped.”

Calm down, I’m just kidding people- I don’t speak to my unattractive co-workers.

Hear those words spoken out loud for the first time in front of an audience consisting of more than my girlfriend tonight at the comedy show Twin Killing, that I'm doing tonight. Scroll down to Friday's post for all the information you could possibly want about the show.

Mundane and Monday sound alike, kind of. Coincidence? Probably. Unless you want to get super etymological about it, in which case you can show us that no word similarities are truly coincidental, but by the time you've made your point you've proven to be such a monumental nerd that nobody will listen to anything else you ever say without teasing you and calling you word-nerd. Is it really worth it?

Here is my first "must rent" movie in the history of the blog, I don't think I put it in quotes when I wrote about Van Wilder. Seriously though, I promise you'll enjoy Raising Victor Vargas. It's terrific. In fact, don't talk to me until you've seen it. Then even if it's a situation as predisposed to awkwardness as an elevator ride, we'll still have something to talk about.

Enjoy the movie. Come to my show?
