Fried Eggs Look Like They’re talking

Eggsplain it to me one more time.

“Help! The random laws of nature have anthropomorphized me!” - Fried Eggs

Yes, yup, absolutely. 

I might be all adult and crap but the teenage goth in me is loving these to bits. They’re so friggin cute! I want to cuddle with one while listening to Pretty Hate Machine while wearing Doc Martens. Le sigh.

This is brilliant and you can look it up, it is on Amazon. I think my new favorite term ever in the history of words is raggle fraggle.

Let the bodies hit the flooooooorrrr!

Well of course he’s scared of them, one bit him. And now look how whackadoodle his life is. 

That would be my exercise technique. I call it sadassaerobics.

Happy 47th to my imaginary boyfriend for most of the 90s.

I don’t tend to reblog from the improv sites I follow but this is great advice, and I think most of it translates to other relationships (jobs, friends, etc). Also, I’ve gone through this. It’s so easy to quit or walk away but sometimes you just need to step back. Don’t burn bridges because you’re angry at the moment. Spot on, Kirk.

Hey Mike,

Thanks for asking such an honest and vulnerable question. I don’t know if this comes from personal experience, but if so, I’m sorry. I’ll try and answer just as honestly.

I’ve never had to break up with a theater, but I have had experiences of “creative has nothing for you” (a wrestling term that means you’re getting fired)… and those experiences have lasted for years.

Literally. Years.

It’s happened to me, it’s happened to you (maybe), it’ll happen to a bunch of people reading this post, and even more will never even have the opportunity to get “fired” in the first place.

It sucks, but rejection is a natural and inevitable part of the wringer that is this community and this industry.

So, how have I dealt with it?

• I had to assume that it wasn’t anything personal. It’s usually just a difference of opinion (you wanna stay, they wanna replace you). In the unlikely case it IS personal, then you know to steer clear from someone who’s got it in for you. That’s valuable, if costly, knowledge.
• I allowed myself to get hurt and mad and indignant. It’s OK to have those feelings, but I didn’t channel them in a destructive manner.
• I talked to the AD. In person. And it was a great conversation. Communication is vital. Seriously.
• I took a li’l break, rather than feel a rush to get back into the swing of things and prove myself as competent and funny and lovable.
• I realized that management changes. Tastes change, too. What’s “in” today might be “out” tomorrow, and vice versa. Also, players grow and change, too. Everything changes.
• I realized that it isn’t an institution’s acceptance that determines my success. They are but one road of many.
• I decided to work with people who had my back, instead of people who didn’t. And that’s made all the difference in the world.

It’ll make you Monday. Seriously, read this and go check out the pics. And if it doesn’t make you all squishy and warm then you’re horrible and heartless and I don’t want to be your friend.

Heartwarming Tearjerker of the Day: Scott Widak has Down syndrome and is terminally ill with liver disease, and he loves to receive mail. So his nephew Sean O’Connor recently posted his P.O. Box on Reddit, to see whether anyone might be interested in sending his uncle a letter: “One of my uncle’s favorite things to do is open mail, and I thought that if he got a lot of mail it would cheer him up.”

It’s been a month since the post, and Widak, an artist, has received mail from all over the world, including the United States, Sweden, Finland, Australia, Japan, the United Kingdom, and Mexico. Redditors have sent heartfelt letters, custom artwork, art supplies, DVDs, and personal keepsakes.

“The mail that’s arrived has all been extremely positive and thoughtful,” O’Connor says. “My family and I are amazed at how so many strangers could come together for a random act of kindness.”

Don’t miss the rest of the pics — they’ll make your Monday.
