Comedy night date

Posted on By admin

Katy and I went on a date Tuesday night. We bought a ticket to a live zoom performance of Nina Conti, a British ventriloquist whose sidekick,Monk, is a cynical monkey who is continually insulting Conti and swearing when he does not have his demands fulfilled.

It was a blast. We were part of the live “studio” audience that was going to interact with her and another comedian, prior to the free broadcast. It was supposed to be just us, my laptop and a bottle of wine. Unfortunately, the small annoying one got in on the act and it was easier to just let him watch the show with us than to fight over him going to bed and miss the show.

Here are some videos from other shows.

My back says thank youuuuuu

Posted on By admin

I’ve been using a crappy kitchen chair to sit on while working from home. It’s been killing my back, so I loosened the purse strings and bought an office chair. Ben is so jealous that I got a gamer chair (if only because it was the cheapest option I could get in a hurry). It was only slightly delayed by the viral apocalypse, coming from Germany. It was also a bit of a pig to assemble, but so far has been worth every penny and sweat droplet because it’s super comfy.

Onions?

Posted on By admin

I was looking for a particular entry in my work calendar today when I came across a meeting item simply called ‘onions’. There is no other information associated with it. I must have created it. It’s in my private, personal, work calendar. For the life of me, I have no idea whatsoever what it refers to.
