Yes, i know we were supposed to be back with Lily & Jane by now. Things have been a little Odd - i believe the expression is "as per frickin' usual"
Computer problems continue to be of the WTF nature. Those spontaneous crashes that were happening even though the system was doing nothing at the time? It seems that the system was just getting bored. As long as i leave a video or something running at all times, the crashes stopped and have not returned.
No, it has nothing to do with screen savers or power management or anything - it's just the kind of makes-no-damn-sense problems that are standard with my systems, and my life in general.
I've also been distracted by fun cartoons like 'Mazing Man!...
...and the Creature Commandos...
You folks enjoyed those old toons, right?
Also, it seems to be November now.
That means i missed little things like, my birthday, Halloween, doctor's appointments, and my youngest son getting married -
-but, really - we'll be back with more of Lily Renée's run on Jane Martin right soon.
Regulars know i tend to shy away from tagging specifics on people i talk about here, simply to be respectful to them since they've not given me explicit permission to discuss them with the general public. But, i'm going to break that rule today for a bit of promotion. (Maybe it's Stan's influence?)
I previously made mention of my younger son starring on stage in Las Vegas until the beginning of this year. The unmentioned show was Evil Dead: The Musical (The 4D Experience), winning official approval from Bruce Campbell with his portrayal of Ash, King of Groovy. (or something like that. Ask Jack)
A great role, but after a few years one wants to do other things - especially someone like Chris (AKA Strangling Jack Johnson of the Swinging Johnson Brothers) who acts, does comedy, writes, directs and produces. He needed to stretch again.
Hence, his latest project - a new series on Amazon Prime entitled 100 Nights With Strangling Jack Johnson.
The official description:
"Follow Strangling Jack on his quest to become a working stand up comic -
from his first night bombing to his first headlining gig and beyond!
The show shares tips and tricks from working comedians about what it
takes to start a comedy career."
BTW - you can also find his indie comedy Driving Bill Crazy on Amazon. Here's the description, once again:
"Bill’s life has always been a bit crazy, from his swinger mother and his
step father who is four years younger than him to his abusive
completely unhelpful psychiatrist to the fact that he works in a mental
institution. His boss doesn’t like him and has no problem telling him.
The girl he likes just started dating his worst enemy. Just when he
thinks his life couldn’t get any loonier, he steps into the twisted
world of Cameron and Cary Nolan. A massive head wound causes the
prohibition of “Lawn Darts” and simultaneously makes the Nolan brothers
rich. They realize that working is for chumps. Scams and fraudulent
lawsuits are where the real money’s at, and corporate America is quick
to settle out of court…especially when there’s a penis splint involved.
After several years of falling down hotel stairs, “finding” rats in
their fried chicken, and train derailments, they’ve discovered a new
scam far superior to all the others. Evidently there’s plenty of money
to be made in the mental health industry especially when you don’t
exactly play by the rules. Now there’s a race between the insanity of
Bill’s everyday life, and the twisted false reality of squirrels, pills
and ninjas created by his new roommates to see which one finally ends
up, Driving Bill Crazy."
Oh, yeah.... Confused about the title of this post?
This might help.
