Year 1, Day 74: great entertainment galore, muppets, malachite

I appreciate:

  1. Looking forward to amazing shows like Bump in the Night and Ghost Force tonight and Justin K Roth and Danielle Ate the Sandwich at the Aster Cafe tomorrow night.
  2. The Muppets poster in my office, though Gonzo will never look quite the same to me, thanks to last night’s Comedy Sportz Improv Class 3 rehearsal and Karen Baker. Neither will clowns, for that matter…
  3. The malachite pyramid on my desk. Malachite is cool!

Year 1, Day 73: numbers, comedy, distractions, time for work

Today I appreciate:

  • That Day 73 represents 1/5 of my year of FB gratitude posts. Numbers are fun. 😛
  • The upcoming Improv-a-thon HUGE Theater (Nov 15) and all the fun and excitement leading up to it!
  • My upcoming showcase Comedy Sportz Showcase (Nov 10) [I’ll try to get to inviting people today…] and all the fun and excitement leading up to that!
  • The myriad pleasant distractions my life affords me.
  • Having a little time to get back to work today. Almost like a “regular” day!

Year 1, Day 69: comedy sportz, classmates, kindness

Today I appreciate:

  1. My Comedy Sportz Improv Class 3 for a terrifically fun class yesterday.
  2. My Comedy Sportz Improv Class 3 classmates, who are incredibly funny, talented, and sweet.
  3. Noticing how small acts of kindness can have a huge impact. Don’t underestimate the power of a well-timed smile, text-message or email. 🙂

Year 1, Day 66: festivals, cool stuff, almost-cheese-like-substance

I appreciate:

  1. Living in a city that has a Fringe Festival, an Improv Festival AND the Twin Cities Horror Festival! Thank you, Minneapolis.
  2. Looking forward to seeing Bump in the Night and Ghost Force. Thank you, Erin Sheppard, for doing cool stuff – and letting me know about it!
  3. Daiya dairy-free, soy-free cheese. I know you’re not real cheese, but you are a pretty nice imitation. 😛

Year 1, Day 62: Katie, improv day, quiet Sunday

I appreciate:

  1. Talking with my amazing kid, Katie Korpi, yesterday. Nothing special, I just love her. ♥
  2. A most wondrous day of improv yesterday: Class at CS, drinks with classmates then back to CS for show, then over to Huge with Elissa for 10:30 show. Awesome!
  3. Sunday morning coffee-newspaper-clock-ticking quietude.

Year 1, Day 60: improv people, rehearsal, Timmy

I appreciate:

  1. The vibrant, lovely, funny people I’m getting to know through my improv groups.
  2. Last night’s hilarious rehearsal with Erin Kennedy, Anthony James and Karen Baker. Is it legal to laugh that much?
  3. My friend, Timmy Riordan, for being the adventurous, witty, charming man he is — and for our great conversation this morning! 🙂

Year 1, Day 51: deconstruction drinks, complexity, simplicity

I appreciate:

  1. Deconstructing Deconstruction over drinks with my classmates from HUGE 401 last night!
  2. The, um, excitement of last year’s Skynote work (3 different accounting systems, 4 bank accounts at 2 banks, 4 assistants, ~20 clients).
  3. The simplicity of Skynote Consulting now! (1 system, 2 accts at 1 bank, 1 (completely awesome) employee, ~20 clients). Whew!

Year 1, Day 50: Kent, transformation, unexpected delights, dance with chair

I appreciate:

  1. Kent, who, on his birthday, posted (on Facebook) this lovely thought, which I want to share with all MY FB friends: You are all dear to me. You all matter. Never imagine that your life doesn’t! 🙂
  2. Last night’s reminder of the power of laughter yoga and community. Thank you, friends, for helping me transform my crabby, headachy, overwhelmed mood into one of peaceful joy
  3. The unexpected delight of learning that a fellow laugher from the laughter yoga club is a HUGE Theater student — and the fun of sitting with her at Show X last night!
  4. Tim Hellendrung’s exquisite dance with a chair, and his impeccable recasting of it in a later scene!
