Keeping up the habit 013

During a normal day, I might be awake for fifteen or sixteen hours; today, that was how long I slept. Whether or not a good trend has begun, can be argued. Fortunately, my manager allowed additional hours on other days this week, so I will not need to use any of my personal annual leave for Independence Day. While I have planned a monolithic post of the political for the near future, I will just say that this woman is really out of touch with reality:

Let’s celebrate ‘health independence’ on the Fourth

“Rand Paul may be looking to rally for the Fourth Amendment on the Fourth of July, but Nancy Pelosi has ...”

“10 Who among you fears the Lord and obeys the voice of his servant?
Let him who walks in darkness and has no light trust
in the name of the Lord and rely on his God. (Isaiah 50:10)”

Most “super” super-moon of 2013 on June 22-23 | EarthSky.org

“The closest and largest full moon of 2013 comes on June 23. Many will call it a super-moon. In fact, it’s the most super of three super-moons in 2013.”

Needless to say, I missed the party, yet I did watch Slugbox’s Livestream.

Summary of Improv Goals 035

OK OK OK, the Elderberries have seen merits to my performance, so I was invited to join. Warm-up was how we began our productive rehearsal today.

The first game was ‘Big Little,’ where a player would make one of eight arm gestures, and give a suggestion of a completely different gesture to the next player in the circle; this was to improve our focus. I realized that I was not listening to player before me in the sequence, an important observation.

“19 It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor
than to divide the spoil with the proud. (Proverbs 16:19)”

“Set a really BIG, Stretch Goal! You have to really challenge yourself to get inspired. If it scares the hell out... The Habit Factor®”

Guy announced that he has successfully applied to WGU Missouri.

‘The Kevin,’ where we receive a suggestion and each person in the ensemble makes an association with the previous word in the chain and then each associated word becomes the inspiration for a scene, initially had a rather long first scene. Our scenes became progressively quicker as we went from cup to coffee, coffee to Starbucks, Starbucks to unfair, unfair to rich, rich to Corinthian and Corinthian to leather.

Yes, the last two were likely related to Ricardo Montalbán when he mentions, ‘Corinthian leather.’

“14 For the Lord will not forsake his people;
he will not abandon his heritage;
15 for justice will return to the righteous,
and all the upright in heart will follow it. (Psalm 94:14-15)”

The funk soul Brother

While he continues to seek enlightenment for his personal improv, which likely occurs in a chamber for elastic time, John this Saturday has shows in Omaha, “The cast of A&E’s ‘Duck Dynasty‘ is about to get a little more religious, but a significantly less bearded.”

F my life, right? And he keeps trying to start all these new initiatives to boost revenue, but seriously we just need to stick to what we do best. There’s only one true profit center.
