What was I writing? I forget

April 8, 2008 at 6:31 am (graceful like a rhino)

Do you guys know about the Improv Everywhere folks?  The ones who make up scenes and act them out in front of an unsuspecting populous?  My favorites in the past included the cell phone symphony held at the bag check of The Strand (people checked their bags in the store, and friends called those cell phones from Union Square,) and the one where a bunch of them froze in place in the middle of Grand Central.  Back in the day when I was stage managing a few small shows at improv theatres, I crossed paths with some of the people that run Improv Everywhere, and sometimes I wish I had never left because I wonder if I could be involved today.  But that’s not the adventure I chose for myself.  If I had gone with choice A, maybe I could have participated in the most recent mission, the one where they turned a little league game into a major league game, complete with programs, Jumbotron, and Goodyear freaking Blimp!  Watch it and try not to smile.

Speaking of unexpected things, yesterday I was so excited to go to the gym for free pizza and using my new iPod and Nike+, that I forgot to actually bring my iPod to the gym.  I had to settle for gym music through my headphones, which is not inspiring.  I remembered forgetting it when I was a mile away from the gym, at the same time I remembered that I had forgotten to turn down my heat, because I had put the iPod next to the thermostat so I wouldn’t forget to turn it down as I packed my iPod.  When I came home, the cat was warm and content, again, for the 10th time this heating season.  I hope she finds a way to make some money, because I’m looking at a huge bill next month, which is exactly equal to the refund that I’m hoping to get when the IRS figures out about my doppleganger.
