I haven't bought anything on Cyber Monday. I'm looking though. Don't get me wrong. If I get anything, it's gonna be on the cheap.

The only other purchase this weekend was my 2010 wall calendar, which is a 30 Rock calendar. I saw a Wolverine calendar at Borders early this month but sad to say, it wasn't live action photos. I thought about Barnes and Noble but Amazon always has the cheaper price. I'm doing a free trial membership of Amazon Prime so I can get things in two days rather than wait a week or two!

I'm going back to SC this weekend for opening night of the new revue, which is gonna be fun.

My parents forced me back to KY at the end of September thanks to the economy.

However, I did get a call from an agency in Chicago for a 5 month gig but sadly, I was unable to leave town on less than 24 hours notice. All I needed was 19 more days!

Right now, the only comedy I am doing is writing spec scripts. I'm working on one for The Big Bang Theory right now.

I've been reading And Here's the Kicker by Mike Sacks. It's a great book and a must read for aspiring comedy writers.
