20 April
This is my current favourite song in the whole wide world:
I made this half pony, half monkey monster to please you,
But I get the feeling that you don't like it,
What's with all the screaming?
You like monkeys, you like ponies,
Maybe you don't like monsters so much,
Maybe I used too many monkeys,
Isn't it enough to know I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
How great is that song? So great! I think I found it on Scalzi's site, where I downloaded the mp3, then immediately went to CDBaby and bought the EP. And this was before I listened closely to the lyrics and heard how funny it was, this was strictly off the tune and the feeling of the song.
Of course, I have a huge crush on him. Funny, smart, talented, plays the guitar? Who isn't into that? I do notice that there are no photos on his site, however, nor on the back of the EP.
Hmmm, a performer without a single solitary picture of himself anywhere? This can only mean one of two things, either he is so incredibly beautiful that he doesn't want to distract from the music, or he is a troll. I'm betting on the former.
I mean, I can feel his pain, you want to be taken seriously as an artist, but you are walking around looking like Russell Crowe or John Cusack, and everyone just wants you to sit there looking pretty and they don't respect your talent! Jonathan Coulton is no pretty boy, just ignore his stunning visage!
That's it. I'm sure that's it. Too gorgeous to be taken seriously, so best leave the pics off the site, or it's TiGer Beat all the way and nobody will listen to the lyrics anymore. Seriously, listen to the song. "Maybe I used too many monkeys"! What is better than that?
The show was light last night, still only 11 audience members (why is nobody coming to this show? It's really good!), but I sold a record $24 in concessions!
Actually, I only sold $21 (still a record), but got a $3 donation from somebody's dad--very sweet. This means that I am only $14 under! I am nearly in profit! I'll hit profit tonight, almost certainly! Yay! And other ejaculations!
I only sold three cupcakes, so twelve is definitely too many for a Tuesday night, but they are in Tupperware containers, and they certainly should still be good for tonight. I don't know about tomorrow, I might have to eat tonight's leftovers myself. The sacrifices, the sacrifices.
I still have yet to sell a single Snapple, even though I knocked the price down. I thought that the apple juice and the Yoohoo were the real long shots, but they have paid for themselves several times over already. Snapple just can't get a look-in.
Maybe when the weather gets hot, people will really want the ice tea. If not, hell, it's not like it's going bad anytime soon. Hope those labels don't start looking ratty from sitting in the melted ice!
Today's
horoscope:
You'll wake up in the most amazing mood -- the kind of mood that can only be satisfied by doing something that's totally out of the ordinary. If you're absolutely duty-bound to work, go -- just make sure the evening is memorable.
One year ago today:
In LA, warm weather is not a cue for snot streams, but here in the Northeast, weather is not for the faint-of-heart. Even nice weather means that your body will rebel in some way.
