Appology

ok, I know I owe everyone an appology for such a long absence in writing. Yes, you know who you are, those who have bean sending me hate mail begging for another entry. Second, brief highlites as to what I have bean up to for the last Month.. wow, has it bean a month since I wrote last, probably pretty close.. Anyway, I will start with the Recent stuff, Sunday night went out to Dudly Riggs Brave New Workshop, I have learned on Sunday Nights that they have what they are calling Improv A-Gogo for $1 Last sunday night they had 4 improv groups.. the first one was bad on levels that I can't begin to describe.. I think everything that came out of their mouth was an inside joke.. Also, their word to work with provided by the audience was Red, Never once did anything remotely resembling Red come up, no blushing, no communism.. nothing.. and they did the whole thing in the Dark.. which, if the MPLS fire Marshall reads this.. I think you would have some issues with the Dudly Riggs Theater, I especially loved that they had blacked out all the exit lights, and had no fire extinguishers or sprinklers in the theater.. just a small gripe when me and the other 300 concert goers are witnessing the small blaze start on the stage and quickly catch the rest of the space on fire where we rush to the door and get stuck trying to get out of the building and burn to death.. Anyway, it was only a buck what can you expect.. safety.. ok.. enough of my rant there. The groups did get better as the evening went on.. the second group felt a bit forced, like they were having an off night, I will have to go back sometime and see, they seemed like they could do something, but just were off that night.. it happens.. The third group was starting to realize that getting ideas from the audience actually meant you had to play with that idea.. they almost thought about possibly incorporating Canada into their bit, but then got scared and didn't just like the first 2 groups.. do I think all the groups were doing improv.. yes, They just conveniently forgot what the word was they were supposed to work with before they even started their sketch.. The 4th group of the evening a group calling themselves Q, I assume a Star Trek reference fits in there some where.. anyway, they were fun, and from what I have learned, the newest group of all the groups that performed, they actually used the words provided by the audience and created a fun little skit with characters that actually meant something.. It was fun and made sitting through the other 3 groups worth the wait.. I will go back some time.. it will be fun. Other things, saw the movie Intolerable Cruelty, I love the Coen brothers.. they have such a twisted way of telling a story with such a darkly tinted commedy.. it was a little reminicent of War of the Roses, only not as dark and more of that country style story telling method that the coen brothers do.. I did enjoy it, although it wasn't a Fargo or Raising Arizona, they seem to do better with their place named movies.. A week ago went and saw Kill Bill, really truely a violent movie.. I loved how stylistic it was, but wow, cut down on the gore.. didn't need it to tell the story which did get a bit bloated in places, The Dojo Scene was about 10 minutes too long.. we got the point she was cutting off lots of guys limbs.. I think with a little more decisive editing the 2 part movie could have bean cut into 1 2.5 hour movie, although I havn't seen the second one yet and may change my mind when that comes out.. anybody have any idea when the second part comes out? Anyway, I'm ranting on and on and on tonight.. I've bean pretty busy at work and at home.. so thats wehre I've bean.. hopefully I will write again soon..

Good God Bill!
If I didn't know better, I would think you were trying to put as many words in one of your posts as I do in mine.

Put as many words in a post, no, put more words in one sentence yes.
