Conversations With Funny People

This happened December of 2008, while I was in German class at EMU.

I sent a friend, J, this table, in reference to the contents of his refrigerator. He thought it was an ass-ish thing to do. I, however, couldn't stop thinking about condiments, and sent the following text:

'I'm sitting in German class coming up with as many condiment puns as I can.'
J responded: 'Wouldn't do that... You might have to play ketchup with your homework if you can't cut the mustard.'
And I: 'Well, for now I'm relishing this...'
J: 'Trust me, it'll get you in a pickle.' Then, after a brief silence, 'Uh-oh. I broke her. Now I'm in a jam.'
E: 'Excuse me while I find a dressing for my wounds.
J: 'I can't help it if I was born and bread for puns.'
E: 'Don't butter yourself up too much.'
J: 'Eh, either way olive to see another day.'
E: 'If this gets any saucier I'll have to can it!'
J: 'Jar you sure? It's all gravy.'
E: 'Just spicing it up a little! I'm not salty or anything.'
J: 'I couldn't tell, the way you peppered those sentences with puns.'
E: 'Well, I'm just rolling with the food puns!'
J: 'Lettuce put a stop to it!'
E: 'Yes, peas!'
J: 'You'd have to be nuts not to.'
E: 'Cashew just let it go?'
J: '[...] That was one bad egg.'
E: 'You're just jelly-ous of my skill at this game!'
J: 'Sounds like you've a chip on your shoulder about my superior corniness.'
E: 'Would saying 'You're cheesy' be a cop-out?'
J: 'I'll shred what little romaines of you if you do...'


And they say text messaging is adding to the intellectual decline of our generation.

You will resume your callow ways, but, I was meant for the stage

"I was meant for the stage,
I was meant for the curtain.
I was meant to tread these boards,
Of this much I am certain."
The Decemberists, "I Was Meant For The Stage"

Sponberg! Thine boards shall I tread.

It is still surreal that I have been chosen to represent Strinberg's, and in turn Bergman's, Miss Julie. She is insane. She is loose. She is obnoxious. She is self-serving. She is despairing.
None of these things am I.

Meryl Streep played Miss Julie in college, too.

Sid said she was happy it was me.

It felt so right to get screamed at... "Servant's slut...!"

I am so nervous: British RP!? What will I do with my hands? What if I'm too quiet? Don't pronounce the French right??



But, hell. Hell. I can't wait. I can't wait to be... Julie.



And: Scene.

what has been done will be done again;
