12:02 pm - When Worlds Collide This is one of those rare moments where I get to merge aspects of my live that don't normally have anything to do with one another. I am part of a team documenting the upcoming release of a well-known database product. As part of getting up to speed and testing features on the product, I need to create some kind of database. As many of you know, I've been in the process of recording a CD over the last few years, and it's getting closer and closer to being done. What I need is for folks to e-mail me their contact info to "figmo @ rahul.net" (remove the spaces; I stuck them in to foil spambots) if they want to be on the mailings for CDs, appearances, and such for me. Specifically: Name: Mailing address: Phone: E-mail address: Favorite song or routine (if applicable): Why you're on my list (select all that apply): CD info? Appearances at cons in your area? Comedy appearances? Thanks in advance! Current Location: Home Current Mood: working Tags: filk, tech job

November 3rd, 2007

03:52 pm - Work, headache, workout, headache, gig prep, headache... My schedule keeps alternating busy with headache. Migraine headache. It seems the bad air from the fires down south triggered my headaches. Every time the air quality sucks, my head hurts. Eeeyow. I've been pushing myself to work out. I managed to get to the gym Monday before BASFA and Thursday evening. Friday my co-workers and I went to lunch and then went go-karting. Going around lots of curves really fast on the track got me carsick, so I opted to go home rather than go back to the office and consume wine and beer. Today my arms are sore. Despite the head stuff, I'm in pretty good spirits. What has kept me too busy to post (besides writing like a madwoman for work)? The earth moved, and I had to move my butt over to KLIV that night. My Official Marching OrdersTM are to "make sure [my] place is secured, then go to the station." I spent several hours making phone calls, writing up information, and cutting up sound for the folks who were on air. Working out is tiring, especially when you're as out of shape as I am. I have been helping a fellow comedian with her web site (see http://www.wwkcb.com). I have my first real paying comedy gig on November 17th! I will be MCing the Laugh Track Online show with Grace White headlining and Beth Schumann as featured artist. I have been told there will be times in my career where I'll have to pump up the audience for an act I can't stand. Fortunately, this isn't one of them. Both of these women are very funny. I could go on and on about them and not do them justice. They're also really nice people. I am resting now, and I'll be flexing my "comedy muscles" tonight at the SFCC Clubhouse in the 6pm show (414 Mason, 7th Floor, San Francisco).
