Mupput porn and more!

Tonight I went to see Avenue Q with my cousin. Very funny. I highly recommend it. The only downsides were the guy to the left of my cousin and I who laughed just a bit to loudly, and a bit too far behind the jokes, along with the asshole who didn't turn of his (or her) cell which happened to go off during the second to last line of the show. At any rate, I think I'm going to have "Everyone is a little bit racist" stuck in my head all day tomorrow. Also, for those of you who were with me from the beginning of this blog, may remember "The Internet is for Porn" is also from this show. Unfortunately, my cousin is moving to LA in about a week, so I no longer have an easy connection to the theater, which means I will have to do things on my own.

Now, this also led me to the conclusion, that in order to see these shows, I may have to actually "date." Now we all know, that I'm really not the dating sort seeing how I've had 1 girlfriend and another girl I saw (...and by saw, I mean exclusively slept with for a 2 or 3 months) since the beginning of 2001 until now. Now there is also the issue that I have no desire to really date anyone exclusively, and this is about the only way I tend to date since the only way I can convince myself that the expense of dating is actually worth it. It's quite a conundrum. However, there are several shows I need to see, and they are in semi-alphabetical order:

Chicago
Rent
Spamalot
Spelling Bee
The Producers
Wicked

Ok, so those were in actual alphabetical order. There are a few others, but they're not on my must see list, they're on the "if I have time and I can get around to it" list. Actually, looking at, that's only 6 dates. That doesn't seem like it would be too awful. Of course, there's the whole who would I want to spend money on that’s not me issue, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. I suppose I could start by crowbarring my way into the group of people at work who are actually social with each other. I suppose an easy way to start this would be to say good morning to people, but communicating to people in anything other than grunts prior to noon is a pretty difficult task for me. Of course the other motivation to get into this group is that the one girl in the office that intrigues me is part of this group. Good point would be that she isn't someone I would work with (always a potential problem in the intra-office relationship), bad point would be that she's ::gasp:: a Michigan alumnus, but whatever, several more months of reconnaissance must be performed before we seriously consider traveling down that road.


In other news, I got a new stove today. This means I now have a working oven, and a instead of cooking things on either high, or very high, there are low, medium, and high settings. Yay!
