My latest obsession!

I think I need to meet this kid.

Bed Bugs. UGH!

Ugh indeed.

I acquired bed bugs about 3 weeks ago.

It's truly been hell. Capital H. E. Double hockey sticks!

For 3 weeks I slept on an air mattress on my living room floor while scrubbing and cleaning everything in my apartment. Washing all of my clothes and linens and curtains etc... Steaming my mattress and bedframe. Letting the exterminator in.....twice. Picking clothes to wear for the day out of their protective plastic bags. Bathing my cat Humphrey......twice. And, just feeling a general sense of DEATH ZONE:RESTRICED AREA-DO NOT ENTER in my own home.

I had to go out the other day and buy all new pillows and a mattress protector so I could sleep on my own bed again.

But, alas, I finally have moved back into my bedroom.

Of course, I'm still terrified of the bed bugs. I check my sheets and under my mattress everytime I enter the room. I look around my bedroom floor half expecting to see a bed bug running for cover under my dresser. I'll probably never get over this....but I'm back in my room.

Good news.........right?...........I mean, right?

I dont' know.


On a lighter note:

I saw Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix lastnght. Great one!

Check it out! But not with bed bugs.

Thank You Charleston!

The Harvard Sailing Teams trip to Charleston South Carolina for the Picolo Spiletto Fringe festival was a huge success! I had so much fun and I already miss it. We had some great shows, saw some great shows, met some great people, got some quality time in at the beach and pool, set a new smash ball record (me and Smitty, 677 consecutive hits in the number to beat), and most importantly......FUCKFEST 07!

Some great old memories!

- Smashing a whipped cream pie in Fanny's face. I didn't even really need to smash, she just leaned right into it.
- Fanny chasing me around the parking lot covered in whipped cream.
- Having a ball fight with Adam at 2am in a completely empty Harris Teeter grocery store.
- The Arthur Ravenal Jr Memorial Bridge.
- "Everyone's gonna be happy, and we're going to be the stars!"
- FuckFest 07 phone inquiries.
- "I'm just looking to have a great time with a real Fat Batch?!"
- Fat Batch.
- "Oh my God, a rainbow. Kiss me!" Jen Curran
- Bills "Living in a Rainbow" song.
- Fanny pouring a bucket of water on me while in bed.....throwing Fanny in the shower.

.....and many more.

I can't wait to Roadtrip around the country and perform in a bunch of new fun towns.......and get payed to do it.

Help me quit my job HST!!!

Here's a picture of me and Jen and Sara having a great old time!



YAHOO!!!

Thank You Charleston!

What a week!

One week, two great shows!

And a whole day off to myself. Nice.

I had my level one improv class show this past thursday and it was a freakin' blast! I had been a nervous wreck dreading it all the week long, but I have to say I couldn't have been happier with the way it turned out. The audience was SO pumped to be there and support us, and in return we were pumpd to bounce back that energy. Everyone had some great playtime on stage and I was able land a call-back in the last scene which we ended the show with....I was on cloud nine the rest of the night as well as all the next day. I can't wait to continue in level two.

Then, last night Harvard Sailing Team had another kick ass time at the PIT with our new show On The Jitney. Again, great crowd and everyone really stepped up to the plate and pulled out all the stops for what turned out to be a great old time! People had some great things to say after the show! It was so nice to have this sweet follow up to my improv show on thursday. Makes me feel like a hero! We were supposed to have some NBC executives in the audience, which would have been the best night for them to come, and OF COURSE they didint' show. UGH! What are you gonna go, right?! In time, in time.


Now, I get this whole day to myself to just relax. No rehearsal. No work. No show. Just me.

I slept in. Got some tacos at tacos nuevas and ate them in Sunset Park under the sun. Read. Strolled. Blogged.

Now, I'm off to dinner with friends and then a little club action with a fellow gay.

Look.....I'm sorry, alright?!

Relax.


I hate taxes and I'm a little overcommitted for the time being. Sunny days are on the way and I hope to enjoy them.....so I gotta buckle down and take care of some shit now. New blogs will come.

How about the crazy fat man on the subway last night who proceeded to stuff his face with a large bag of wafer cookies, which were crumbling all over his lap, and then proceeded to bang on the chairs next to me in order to get my attention. I could hear him mumbling something about believing in the power of Christ through the breaks in song on my Ipod. How about I totally ignored him! But, what I really wanted to do was turn to him, take my head phone out of my ear and say, "Right, so you're crazy and I wan't want to talk to you." Instead I just stared staright ahead and imagined what it would be like to actually say something like that.

How about I'm in improv every week now and it's great?!

How about it?

Fuck.

What a Wackadoo!!!

That's me. A Wackadoo.

I haven't blogged on here in SO LONG because I am a crazy idiot with not a second to breathe.

Well, okay that's a bit dramatic. But, literally, I have been running around doing a lot of fun and exciting things lately! Ah, New York....I am completey immersed in you. To begin, there's always work, which is a never ending so not much is needed to be said about that. I'm a server. Yes. I've also been keeping up with my new gym regime with Billy. We joined in the last week of February and we've just completed our 4th solid week. I month at the gym, 6 days a week! I've been pumping ironing, running again, boxing every saturday, I had a pilates demo which really hurt, I've had a fitness evaluation and the physical fitness continues on tomorrow. A new week of gym extravaganzas.

I've also just started improv classes through the PIT. I've only had one class so far. Every tuesday from 7-10pm. The class was a big success! I have to tell you how nervous I was for it....all day at work before our first my apprehension continued to grow. The class, however, was all fun and games. Literally. Everyone in the class was great. We seem to have some performance chops in us and people really got up and gave it their all. I was very impressed and excited for more by the end. I'm looking forward to our next class this tuesday.

Also, NBC came to our Harvard Sailing Team show last night. We were a hit. They want us to perform in there NBC network showcase! AHHHHSHITFUCKDAMNIT! So cool. So, bascially it's just a matter of time before we have our own TV show. It's about time.

We just spent all day filming a short video for the Naked Angels festival in April. I don't mean to blow smoke up our own asses but we were pretty damn good today. The shoot was a hoot, if you will. I think it's going to look amazing. I cant' wait to see it.

That's it for now.

Oh, I'm getting a tattoo. Here's a picture of the lady now:



That's right. Rosie the Riveter. But, instead in the caption bubble it will say, "You Can Do It, Clayton!"

I promise to write more.

Forget me not.
