Creatures Of The Night

I was about to drift off to sleep when I heard a strange sound, a little like squeaking or chirping. I figured it was something outside. I heard it a bit later and opened my eyes and saw what seemed to be a small dark winged creature flying across my room. I rubbed my eyes and looked again, and there it was circling around again. Holy shit, how did a bird get in my room?

I wish.

I jumped up and turned the light on and saw that the dark winged creature circling over my bed was no bird. it was this:

I have never seen a bat in my life so I was frantic. I jumped out of my room and slammed the door, locking it in there. But then I realized that wouldn’t do, I would eventually have to get back into my room. I knocked on roommates’ doors for help and got no answer. Jerks. Luckily there is a porch door just outside my bedroom door, so I opened that door, kicked my door open, and waited in the hallway. A few moments later it came swooping out just past my head, and I ran into my room and slammed the door shut and waited for it to find its way out the porch door.

Another reason I am looking forward to getting the hell out of here on Sept. 1.

I love this photoblog, I got sucked in and looked at every single photo.

Someone To Love

Pardon me if I go Israeli on your asses for the next few weeks (if I update this blog at all, that is) as I am buried in BJFF work and will be suffering a bit of monomania for awhile. In my research I came across the dramatic photo below of Ronit Elkabetz and then came across this interesting essay on Feminism in Israel (as it relates to a documentary TV series that was aired there). Enjoy.

My Funnyman

Hi. I have zero will to blog these days but thought I’d pop back in to share with you a video that my wonderful friend Seasull made for me at the Comedians of Comedy show at the Paradise. You see, I convinced him and Tangerine to go, then I backed out because … something suddenly came up. So they went to see MY show which featured MY man Zach Galifianakis, a show they would never have gone to without my instigating the whole thing. But despite the fact that I ditched them, Seasull was thoughtful enough (or drunk enough) to push his way to the front of the signing table to get my man Zach to record this special greeting for me. Unfortunately you can’t hear a word of it, but he says something along the lines of “Hi Cynthia, thank you for the awkward conversation, and we really didn’t like you.” This is of course in reference to my awkward, starry-eyed conversation with him and Brian Posehn at Silverdocs.

See my man on video here.

Aside from all this, Seasull and Tangerine said the show was great, so you should check it out when it rolls through your town. Especially if you are looking for a man, as I hear it was a total sausagefest.
