Darren’s Thoughts
This may be a new recurring post, in which I make a fun list of everything I’m thinking and/or exposed to in a single moment- It may also only happen once
- I am currently at work, interning for Washington Improv Theater. It’s super great. Actually, their last weekend of shows is this weekend, so you should totally check out at LEAST one show. Recent receSs alum Karin Hammerberg is in Caveat. She is also super great and is the person who instilled the phrase “super great” in my vocabulary. So she is at the very least, the reason why you are annoyed with me right now.
- I think it’s strange that we’re in the middle of a pretty important war, pretty huge environmental catastrophes, and a possible impending depression all at once, and most of our daily lives remain unaffected. Is that apathy, blindness, laziness, ignorance, or some combination?
- I’m pretty sure the Metro could run a lot faster. I think the trains just move kind of slowly. DC is REALLY small, and still it takes like 40 minutes to get from GW to U st. It shouldn’t take that long. Why don’t the trains just go faster? The system is organized pretty well, and trains come on time often enough. But then you get in and it’s just a pretty unimpressive ride.
- I still haven’t eaten today.
- I have had a Coke. So I did drink something.
- The next receSs show is so soon! October 3rd at midnight! Clear everyone’s calendar! Seriously, just break into all your friends’ places and do it. Actually, maybe we should give out calendars with our show dates already marked as “INCREDIBLY BUSY AT MIDNIGHT. HOLD ALL CALLS.” or something
- GUYS! Start thinking about your Halloween costumes now. Seriously guys, if you don’t, it’s gonna be like four days away and you’ll be deciding between something easy but sort of ironic and something stupid but almost naked. There’s a third choice, and we all know what it is, but we’re all afraid to say it. Well I’m not. The third choice is a legitimately good costume. There, I said it.
- I just had the thought that 10 would be a good round number for this post, but now that counts as a thought, and that’s kind of lame, so I think I’m actually gonna make it whatever I want (most likely 11 or 12, but who knows!? Keep reading! SO MUCH SUSPENSE!!!)
- I am anxiously awaiting the next (first) update to Jon Foox’s Sabermetrics post.
- Our new site has been kind of buggy, so that update might not come right away. I’m pretty sure that’s also affecting the State of the Uni colony. I’m also pretty sure that I’m kind of responsible for that. Whoops.
- Our first DC event is in the works! It is going to be on October 24th and it will be HUGE. Clear everyone’s calendar AGAIN!
- Can you BELIEVE I made it to 14? Just incredible. Especially given the state of our nation (see #4).
- I should probably find a cool picture for this post.
- Please feel free to comment on any of this and/or post your own list of thoughts. In fact, I think this can be a fairly successful recurring post if it starts with my thoughts and continues with everyone’s thoughts in the comments section. That’d be a lot of fun.
