The Goldfish's Logbook

I finally dragged my butt into the Austin office today. Literally 4 minutes after I sent out an office-wide email saying "I'm back and available," Boss #1 comes by and says, "Why don't you take a few days off? Things are real slow around here."
That was a shocker. Usually this guy is always: come in early, leave late, skip lunch, work weekends, holidays, etc. But hell, I didn't need to be told twice. I was outta there!
So I've got the rest of the week off! It's like Spring Break just fell into my lap. I bet y'all can guess what I'm going to do with all that free time. Yup.

But that only takes ten minutes. After that I'll work on cosplay. (Ha ha ha. That was a masturbation joke for those of you who missed it. Heh heh. I find myself so funny.)
So yeah, it's me and the cat here in the apartment. I'm trying to get work done, and she's "helping". Maybe I'll take her for a walk as a reward for being such a good helper.

Tonight we're going to go see Jim Gaffigan at the Paramount. I've been looking forward to this all week. I hear this performance is going to be all-new material, which is cool, but also means that there will be no Hot Pockets. Regardless, Liz and I will both be wearing adult diapers just to be safe.

I bought tickets for Dave Atell’s October appearance at the Paramount. After going to see Ralphie May (hella funny) a couple months ago I decided I wanted to go see more comedians. Star hasn’t seen any of Dave Atell’s stuff, but I’ve got a couple months to educate her. Hopefully she won’t be put off by him.
While I was looking at the Paramount’s website, I noticed that Jim Gaffigan was also coming to town. Sweet! I KNOW Star likes him (we nearly peed our pants watching his special), so I called her up and asked her if she’d like to see him. Well, duh. I figured if she didn’t like Dave Atell, Jim Gaffigan would make things better. She wants to take a box of HotPockets for him to autograph. That would be funny, but . . . I dunno if he still does that bit; the joke might be out-of-date by now.
So anyways, it wasn’t until after I’d hung up the phone that I found out that all four of Jim Gaffigan’s performances were sold out. Crap. I was kinda surprised. I hadn’t expected him to be such a popular comedian; as far as I know he’s only done one cable special. One of his Austin appearances will be recorded for his next special, which accounts for one show being sold out, but I thought there would still be tickets left for the other three. I wasn’t willing to forfeit this plan, so after a bit of looking around I found a website that had tickets for the show, at a significant mark-up. I wasn’t too pleased about this but I bought them anyways. I know it probably wasn’t the most responsible move considering my upcoming expenses, but I’m an adult so I can have my cake and eat it too. That’s what credit cards are for.
If anyone else is thinking of going to the Dave Atell show, DO IT. Trust me, these shows are super funny and it’d be fun to have more people to go with.
