they\u2019re not bad dogs, they just like to chew things. the beagle, Noodle, had a fuzzy little white squeaker toy. the toy had been on top of Noodle\u2019s cage, so i figured it must belong to him. he busily played with it as i did other things.<\/p>\n
pretty soon, i realized the squeaking had stopped.<\/p>\n
and there, all over the dining room floor, were bits of white stuffing. in the middle, the little plastic squeaker itself, neatly chewed open, its squeaking ability gone forever.<\/p>\n
it\u2019s almost like noodle was operating on the squeaker toy. maybe the squeaking bugged him, and he just wanted a little peace and quiet.<\/p>\n
that\u2019s what i\u2019ll tell amy and jim when they get back, anyway.<\/p>\n
hey, do you know who eddie izzard is? i talked about him a long time ago, and the other day my friend ann asked me if i\u2019d ever heard of him. yes, i said, he\u2019s my favorite comic. he\u2019s british, very learned about all kinds of stuff, especially history, and he\u2019s hysterically funny. and he\u2019s a transvestite. i saw him on the tonight show one time, but he wasn\u2019t being so funny, i think he was promoting a movie, and he wasn\u2019t able to cut loose like he does in his stand-up.<\/p>\n
you can get his videos online; the funniest one by far is called “dress to kill.” he\u2019s crazy and nutty, but also, like i said, very intelligent. he talks about being a transvestite, that he likes women but also likes to dress in women\u2019s clothes. he calls himself an “executive transvestite.” <\/p>\n
i highly recommend checking out his videos. i saw him in chicago a couple of years ago, and he was great. he\u2019s been in a few movies, and he\u2019s perfectly fine in them, but in order to get the full impact of him, you have to see his stand-up. maybe i should invite some people over to watch my video sometime. it\u2019s always good for bolstering my spirits, and i\u2019m suddenly wondering why i haven\u2019t been watching him EVERY DAY.<\/p>\n
we took the dogs for a walk, and it started to rain, and i realized that it smelled like a spring rain. plus, i\u2019ve been hearing more birds lately. spring will definitely get here this year, i have every confidence. despite the fact that it\u2019s going to get down to SEVENTEEN on thursday night. but maybe the weather predictors are wrong.<\/p>\n
oh yeah, the audition yesterday…i\u2019ll tell you about it next time. I\u2019ll just give you one little highlight – i sang the song, and the musical director said, “can you sing it in your regular voice for me, please?” now, i had made my voice just a little bit funnier than it really is, but it was almost exactly like MY REGULAR VOICE. <\/p>\n
and when i got done singing, a guy leaned over to me and said, “i really liked that accent you did in your song.”<\/p>\n
THAT\u2019S MY VOICE.<\/p>\n
ok then,<\/p>\n
