November 11 - Lest We forget to Blog

So here we are. Day 2 of my toronto blog. Welcome back! Or welcome for the first time.

Something that is a huge difference between small town and big town is celebrities. Now in a small town its usually a local news anchor that you see in a coffee shop and whisper to your friends about, but here its actual famous people... just... hanging out. Last night I went and saw a show and before the show went in I got to meet and chat with Scott Thompson of Kids In The Hall fame. He was very nice. After the show I met Ron Sexsmith in the lobby and got to say hello. It was a strange night but still a lot of fun.

So since I have been here I have tried to meet with folks and say hi and in the most subtle was try and say PEOPLE THINK IM FUNNY!!! PLEASE LET ME INTO YOUR SHOWS!!! PLEASE!!! but in a to cool for school non begging kinda way. I went and saw the new Second City show and had a really good time. The show was a lot of fun and I enjoyed the actors. Second City is something I would love to be a part of, and who knows! Maybe someday I will. And by someday I mean I will audition for them as soon as I can and then hope.

Since i moved I thought it would be a great idea to maybe try and loose some weight. The body mass index says that i am "Morbidly Obese" which I think its a little un called for. I get that obese is unhealthy... you don't need to include morbidly. Also when I tell people that Im obese according to BMI they often say the same thing... oh! Did you include your height? DAMNIT! Thats what it was! I put that I was a 3 foot tall woman! No wonder! So before we go any further... YES. i do include my height. And for those ultra fans... my height is 6'7. Secret fact? On my acting resume it says im 6'4. Reason behind that? people can relate to 6'4. Ive noticed that people think i am as tall as the tallest person they know. OH! I have a nephew thats your height! What are you 5'11ish? No. Sorry. But when I tell people 6'7 they cant even imagine it. Thats taller than Michael Jordan. How would you look on screen? where would we find clothes to fit you? we would need a team just to get it all done!! AH I CANT HANDLE IT!!!! BOOM!

Back on topic.

Last night I went to go and get a salad from a pizza place. I asked the girl behind the counter if they came pre made or if they were made there. It became very clear very fast that he english was minimal and she had no idea what I was asking. After an ungodly amount of loud explanations and Pictionary, she said that they were made to order. I said GREAT! Then I shall have the greek salad with no red onion please. (Side note one: Red onion is disgusting. It ruins a salad and anything else it touches! Side note 2: a little behind the scenes action: when I was writing this blog, instead of no red onion please I put No vegetables by accident. If you order a salad with no vegetables thats just cheese and dressing my friend. get help) So she said no red onion would be no problem. I paid for my salad and she left to go make it. I watch her go to the walk in fridge, come out with a salad, put it on a table way in the back of the kitchen and start to pick out all of the red onion. IT CAME WITH ONIONS! I could have picked them out myself! I was just asking if I had the option to go without. Long story short... i make non english speaking women pick stuff out of my food for me. Its how I roll.

Just before I forget, I think porn teaches us some valuable life lessons. Most noticeable life lesson? Asian women should never go outside. Dont know what im talking about? Just look it up. Asian girl on a bus. Asian girl walking down street... it wont end well.

So this being my second blog, I think I should tell you folks that I have landed my first official Toronto gig. I will be performing with the National Theatre of the World in their improv show The Carnegie Hall Show on Dec 8. It should be good fun and one of my characters will make his Toronto debut.. which one? well you will have to read this blog on Dec 9!... or read my facebook or website any other time... damnit i should have thought that through

Tonight I am off to see a stand up comedy show. I am going to see if I can get on stage and do a set. I suppose you'll find out what happened.... NEXT TIME

Mike D!

Also please tell your friends about this blog. The more people who read or follow this the better. And again if you wanna say hi or have a comment or a question just send it on down. Speaking of which HELLO to the person who was first in line to my SOLD OUT show back in may. I said hello to some folks that were there really early. I went out to get food during sound check and people were sitting there. If you were them, then I remember you! And thanks for reading!
