Making sense of the issues, part 1.

So, I met this Catholic Priest, but he wasn’t in his outfit, so I didn’t know. He didn’t look suspicious. I didn’t know. We were in a Church, and people started talking about marriage. Probably cause we were at a wedding rehearsal. You know the drill. “I’m married”, “I’m divorced”, blah, blah, blah, and I say to the Priest guy “I don’t think I believe in marriage. I’m perfectly happy living in sin. What about you, are you married?” And he says “Yes, yes I am. I’m married…to GOD.”

Wow. That has got to be a lot of pressure. Being married to GOD. I mean he must win every argument. And I bet he’s a real dick, you know? I bet he’s a real bear at home. “Don’t bother me with that today Brad. I’ve had a busy day. War. Famine. The Olympics. I’ve got a lot of shit going on! Can’t you just pray to me like everyone else?”

I mean, I think I would feel so…neglected.

“I’m married to GOD.” He sounded so sad about it too. I saw the subtext. “I’m married to GOD and the only time I get to eat him is during mass.”

Because they ARE gay, right? This is a homosexual relationship. I mean we all know that GOD is a man, right? I’ve seen the paintings. GOD has a beard.

That must be why the Catholic Church is so opposed to gay marriage. It’s not the idea of gay marriage they hate, they’re just trying to preserve the sanctity of the gay union between a priest and his big, bearded, blustering MALE GOD. That’s all.

It's almost that time of year again...

You know it's mid-August in Toronto when news of what big celebs will be in town during next month's Film Fest hits the front page. I love the anticipation. It's like how American Thanksgiving serves as a "it's ok to start getting excited about Christmas now" marker on the calendar.

Last week I was lucky enough to see a preview screening of "Garden State" the film Written, Directed by and Starring Zach Braff (of the NBC sitcom "Scrubs"). What a lovely little film. Braff has got a nice, soft touch and knows how to best utilize his strengths - the man does "alienated" better than just about anybody. The film has a wonderful supporting cast (yes, that is Jeanne Smart!) and that Natalie Portman is just delightful. Particularly striking was the use of music. The songs were as important to the mood and the action as they are in any Tarantino or Spike Lee film.

Speaking of which, when is "She Hate Me" coming to a screen in Toronto? Am I going to have to travel to New York just to see this film?

CURSED!

Dear Anyone who will listen,

NOMAR'S A CU-UB! NOMAR'S A CU-UB! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

And you always said that there wasn't karmic payback for being a self serving sorehead.

It's been days and it still makes me giddy!

Love,

Had much fun last night performing at the Altdot Comedy Lounge "coming soon" show at the Rivoli. My three favourite things about this show (which really, let's face it, has become an institution) are 1) that they turn the lights down low - it creates cool atmosphere 2) the tablecloths - classy. 3) the jubejubes on the table - they may get caught in your teeth but the sugar helps give you stamina when you aren't performing until after 11pm.
