Ace is Sick and I perform anyway.

Over the holidays Ace caught a little case of bronchiolitis. Just when he seemed to be getting over that cold now it seems that now he has something worse. Yesterday he had a little runny nose. Nothing to be concerned about. He slept kind of crummy but seemed okay this morning. Then as the day progressed he kind of crashed. Got listless and whiney. Then as the day went further along he started coughing a ton and having really shallow breathing. Like scary shallow. I looked up the symptoms on the internet and I took a shower with him to see if the steam would help. It actually helped a lot so we calmed down a little. I bought some menthol oils for his vaporizer and we gave some more albuterol for the breathing. He is sleeping now but uneasily. On top of that anxiety tonight was the first night of the The Project Reboot. I was chosen to be one of 10 new people mixed into the already talented pool of improvisors. There was a draft and the teams were picked and tonight was the unveiling of the teams and also each team had to perform for 10 minutes. It was a pretty crazy night. Major improv nerd action. I was retardedly anxious especially because in the improv world I am a virtual unknown. The improv group I've been in for 3+ years or something, Gunshow, while being really fucking solid just has never had that certain thing to get the shows and recognition that we deserved. Of late we'd been getting more shows but we've been doing them worse and worse so I don't know what that means. Anyhow, I got picked by Rob Lathan completely randomly and probably in the late rounds of picking. Sean Taylor told me he was going to pick me and Rob picked me right before him and totally at random so Sean was like "Why? You don't even know him!?" but the choice had been made so it stuck. My team is Rob Latham, Terry Jinn, Ptolemy Slocum, Jane Borden, Shelly Stover, Rachel Mason (Didn't show) & Carl Arnheiter. I have been coached by 2 of the people on my team and paid to see several other perform for years. It's a bit of a head trip. Ryan Sturt, also of Gunshow, was also chosen to for the project this time around and is on an awesome team. He performed really well considering he was complaining about a back injury or something. He wouldn't explain how he injured himself because he said it was embarassing. I assumed that he did it while masturbating with a 10lb weight or something. He didn't deny it so that's what I am telling people. Well, heavy duty jackoff injury or not Ryan did really well and has a team I am jealous of. Lots of fun and funny people on it. My team did pretty well for never having performed before. I even got a couple big laughs. Felt good. We'll see how it goes from here. Tomorrow I'm back at work. Again the weekend flew by. Doesn't seem like I had any time off. Saturday Jodi had a huge art opening at Exit Art. I brought Ace and of course he was a hit with the ladies. Especially at this one artists window display. The idea of the show is that the artists re-create their studios in the windows are Exit Art. One guy who thought the idea was dumb sent in a video of him playing in a pool. They invited him to re-create it in the window so he made a ball pool and furnished it with some inflatable chairs. So of course we brought Ace there. Luckily for him there were some friendly ladies there. They were smitten big-time and kept saying things like "I wish you were 10 years older." I didn't bother to tell them that then he's only be 12 and that would be illegal. There were also some gay guys who thought Ace was hilarious, too. One guy kept saying "He is so precocious." Over and over to the point of me wanting to being him a thesaurus so he could mix it up a little.

It's 2:20am now. I gotta hit the hay.
