dear dearest readers,
hello! i’m glad you’re here.
you may have noticed that i shifted the name of “art nuggets” to “arty har-hars.”
you may not have noticed. you may NOW have noticed.
either way, a substack by any other name would smell as sweet.
in any event1, i’m glad you’re here.
and now for some quick funs of the day. please enjoy as desired and possible!
1) on love and neighbors:
JESUS: love thy neighbor
POLITICIANS: ok so let's figure out the gerrymandering to learn the exact boundaries of where we're no longer required to love people2
2) on life and spoilers:
it's weird that i don't like spoilers in movies,
because in real life i'd love to know what's going to happen.3
3) on dancer, on dasher!:
for me, the hardest part about dancing
is knowing what to do with my arms,
and legs, and the rest of my body.4
and those are the quick funs of the day!
finally, here are some upcoming comedy show funs i’ll be doing Outside the computer:
1) Sea Tea Theater in Hartford, CT, 7pm on Thursday, August 26
2) The Comedy Studio in Somerville, MA, 10pm on Friday, August 27
3) The Comedy Studio in Somerville, MA, 10pm on Saturday, August 28
4) Liz and Myq Give Advice at Union Hall in Brookly, NY, 5:30pm on Sunday, September 19 (a new monthly show that my wonderful friend Liz and I are starting, where we do comedy, offer/seek advice, and invite funny nice friends to do comedy and offer/seek advice as well… come to the show if you are a comedy-seeker or an advice-seeker!)
and more to come!
finally, here’s a picture of three sweet dogs i saw.
hope you enjoy! take care, friends. thank you again for being here and being you.
in EVERY event, even. (also, hello and welcome to the footnotes. just wanted to let you know that the footnotes are only meant to be Extra bits of fun. they are not required reading. none of this is required reading. you can read the whole thing, or just part of it, anywhere from zero to infinity. or, finity i guess. each one of these is, so far, finite. as a whole eventually, who knows! thanks for reading.)
the word “gerrymander” sounds like a salamander named gerry.
one thing that’s going to happen is you’re going to be reading this footnote right now! whee!
it was just about dancing. but now i’m dashing!
ooh also, “dashing” can be a verb, running away, or an adjective, handsome.
i wonder if those go together. “ooh, that person is dashing. it’s so nice that they’re running away from me. playing hard to get.”
