The Comic Mummy blog - what a work of art

Thanks to Aussie in the Orient for putting me onto this: a site that generates a lovely piece of art based on keywords in your blog.

I suspect this is the one time that the words "America awwww" will appear together. So do savour it, won't you?

My improvised song in Vegas!

Hey dudes and dudettes,

If you care to, check out the improvised solo number I performed in Vegas recently!

Just go to www.myspace.com/jennywynter, scroll down and you'll see it.

Enjoy.

Yours,
The Eternal Procrastinator.

Self-indulgent Procrastination

Thanks to temporalelbow & Mango Lick for this morsel of time-wastage. But Mango Lick did cite me as one of the four websites she visits each day, so I was chuffed (and bored) enough to respond.

BTW feel free to post your own responses either on your blogs or in my comments.

But please, not both. Let's not get crazy.

Here we go.

A) Four jobs I have had in my life

1. Waitress @ Italian cafe (unfortunately I didn't like coffee at this point in my life)
2. Attractions presenter @ Movieworld (I was one of those wacky people who ran out screaming "AAAGH! The Gremlins are taking over the cinema!")
3. Call centre operator (I'm dry-retching as I type)
4. Comedian (wacka wacka)

B) Four movies I would watch over & over

1. Edward Scissorhands (I used to press 'play', watch it, then press 'rewind' over and over and over)
2. Heathers (I was mildly unhealthily obsessed with Winona Ryder)
3. The Muppet Movie
4. The Secret Life of Johnny Depp (if it ever got made)

C) Four places I have lived

1. Toowoomba
2. Brunswick, Melbourne
3. Redfern, Sydney
4. Brisbane (all over)

D) Four TV shows I love to watch

1. Six Feet Under
2. The Office (British version)
3. Inside The Actors Studio
4. The Young Ones

E) Four places I have been on vacation

1. Byron Bay
2. Tasmania
3. Springbrook
4. Coolum (Sunshine Coast)

Now that I look at it, I think I need to start getting a little more adventurous...

F) Websites I visit daily

1. Myspace - and the dozens of friends' sites that are linked to it. What a vacuum cleaner of time.
2. Blogger
3. Pink is the New Blog
4. Vibewire.net

G) Four of my favourite foods

1. Pizza Cafe pizza
2. Spaghetti Bolognaise (made right)
3. Roast potatoes (made the way my mum makes em)
4. Cheese, cheese, cheese (as in the yummy ones: blue, St Andres...oh take me back to Melbourne)

Four bands I can listen to repeatedly
1. Dave Matthews
2. Turin Breaks
3. Pearl Jam
4. Tim Minchin

I) Four places I would rather be right now

1. Vancouver (cos I've heard it's amazing)
2. Byron Bay (cos I can never get enough)
3. Whitsunday Islands (cos it would be beachy and warm)
4. USA (cos I miss it...*sniff*)

The Good the Bad and the Downright Intolerable

The Good:

The Livewired gig went pretty well (despite my self-imposed pressure to be 'funnier' than before I left for the States) and then returned home to listen to the compilation CD given to me by my ZZZ co-host Alex Oliver: "The Best of the Frog and Peach". It made me chuckle.

The Bad:

My house, despite being cleaned from top to toe by my sister in my overseas absence, has since returned to its usual bomb-site state.

The Downright Intolerable:

I'm beginning to think I'm never going to not feel tired.

"I Want to be in America"

I turned the radio on before and this exact West Side Story tune was playing. It made me smile.

It's so funny, because as much as I loved the entire mind-blowing experience of conquering the USA solo style, the whole time my heart was back on Australian time.

"Now they're waking up."

"Now they're having lunch."

"Now they're throwing their pre-bath-time tantrums."

But now here I am, back home again and the whole time-zone thing has flipped on its head. My heart (or part of it anyway) is on American time.

"Now they're flicking on the lights in Times Square."

"Now they're spruiking their CDs on Hollywood Boulevard."

"Now they're gambling in Vegas."

Okay, so that last one is kinda time-zone irrelevant.

But the point is, while I'm elated to be back with my family and friends, I miss America.

Who'da thunk?

Back to reality

I'm still recovering from jet-lag...gee it's a killer. I thought it just meant being tired, but it's so much more.

It's not knowing where you put your keys.

It's not knowing where you put Monday.

It's not knowing where you put your brain.

So forgive the brief blogging entries - or praise the heavens for them if it suits you better.

I'm basically just catching my breath, as I have a slew of gigs coming up in the next month, including several trips to Sydney (where I'm doing some corporate improv stuff) and this Friday will be my one and only performance in Edge Improv's IMPROCK!

Come check it out - it rocks and it's got a cool poster and stuff.

And yes, that's me in the front with a bat in my mouth. Ehem.
