Back from Montreal

[thehefner]

I'm more than a little disappointed that the events depicted in the top strip didn't happen.



The strip on the bottom has nothing to do with anything, it's just included in the image for the enjoyment of all. A bit of Kate Beaton makes everything better.

I have returned from Montreal (and their Fringe Festival) with a sore throat, speeding ticket (from upstate New York), and a bruised ego. But--like the showtune goes--alive! But alive! But al-iiiiiiive!!!

Major love and thanks to the Montreal Chapter of John Hefner's GIRLFRIENDS IN CANADA: bagelofdeath*, beckara, bimmin, viizou, and newly-acquired ladyfriend terheyt. ;)

But most of all, extra super special love and thanks to the great, the wonderful, the mighty little_dinosaur, who was able to house me for two weeks at her family's place, for which I'm still incredibly grateful and humbled.

Right! My To-Do list, much of which will be accomplished in hermitage at the Rehoboth Beach house:

1.) Plot out revisions for HEFNER MONOLOGUES in preparation for the madness that will be Winnipeg Fringe

2.) Not freak out and worry about Winnipeg Fringe

3.) Finally get working on the major overhaul revisions of the second half of DENT

4.) Waffle as to whether or not to buy the new iPhone

5.) Totally buy the new iPhone holy crap I'm such a tool

6.) Not die from the Fringe-stress-induced plague under which I'm now suffering

7.) Possibly write about my Montreal Fringe experience, if I can do it without angsting too much and manage to maintain perspective and humor OH GOD WHY WHY

8.) Oh fuck get on that Canadian tax bullshit that they sprung on me at the last minute.

And of course, there's the always-applicable task Number 9, Number 9, Number 9: "sleep." Which I shall attempt to get to right now. HA HA YEAH RIGHT.

Oh, and also hang out with people and have a social life. Maybe.



*I hope you realize, dear lady, that leaving today was not an entirely easy decision. You made it all exceedingly tempting. We need to figure out some way to logistically hang out and make up for the misspent time in Montreal. I'm not sure I'm up for the Montreal drive again, but hey, if you ever wanna make a long weekend of NYC or something, that might be worth considering...

Oh my gawd, Lantern, so much crack happened while you were gone. SO MUCH CRACK. I mean, I accidentally found a Britney Spears song that made me go 'wait whut? Are you...are you sure Joker didn't write this shit? SERIOUSLY WHAT THE HELL SDLKFJSHDKJHFDSS'

I'm sure you're tired of my crack by now. But seriously, I don't plan this stuff. It just happens, and I'm there and... I have to spread the WTF around.

Also I am really, really, really encouraging you to have a social life. Srs. Really a very lot, because I've missed you awfully.

... Bwuhhhh?!

Nah, by all means, crack away! Just don't worry if I seem frazzled or distracted, because I probably am. I'm that a lot these days! :)

Yes! Once I figure out what my BMore plans are in the next couple of days, I will drop you a line and see if we can't enjoy a nice spot of tea or something someplace and catch up!

It is such deelishus crack, Lantern.

:D Well let me know. We can work out something in walking distance, I think.
