The Interview: How to not be an awko taco

Congratulations! You should be pretty darn proud of yourself for getting this far. Alas, you have miles to go before you sleep. Hopefully these tips will help you nail the interview, and accomplish your lovely dreams. You got this. Get Fancy: It's tempting to arrive at the interview clad in your muddy Doc Martins and unwashed Smiths t-shirt being all like "I will not conform to societal expectations, rah rah rah" but for real, don't do it . This is a big deal, and you need to dress like you care. Iron some good shirts, break out those uncomfortable yet awfully classy shoes, and do this thing. Home can be the place to let your freak flag fly, not the boardroom.    Talk To Humans: See that ruddy faced, yet promising individual over there? Talk to them! If worst comes to worst, you can just bond over how much you are completely about to pee your pants in fear. You have nothing to lose, and it really shows that you can act sem...

Improvising and Breaking Things

Victory: On Friday, we had an "Impro Abend" performance at my theater place, which means I had to get up in front of a crowd of people, and...well, improvise.

Either way, laughs were had, and I was one of the reasons for it. I want a gold star, please. Failure: Hey, remember that time I tried to ride the bus into town, and when purchasing my ticket, put cold hard euros into a slot meant only for euros in bill form, and then everything started beeping, and instead of attempting to fix this problem I slid into a seat in the back of the bus, and observed as the bus driver bellowed out for the hide of whoever committed this horrific act? One lady totally gave me that "oh...

First Day in Hamburg: No Beatles, Great Food

Image
  First order of business was the Reeperbahn, the place where the Beatles grew into their funny hair having, music making selves in post-war, crime ridden, 1960's Hamburg. And so I arrived, with a heart full of Beatle's enthusiasm,ready to throw all my money at the first tour guide I spotted. Alas, there was no tour-guide, or really other human, to be seen that day on the Reeperbahn. My camera reacted to this news of no Beatles tour by malfunctioning, and extending it's lens in a paralyzed position of devastation. I left the scene with only my phone-camera, and the urge to eat some soul-mending food. Sad Clara. My buddies, Maria (from Portugal) and Pedro (from Brazil)! And oh look, no tour guides...or people...or hope. Food that is so good it makes you forget about John Lennon was easily found in the Little Portugal of Hamburg, near the harbor. Maria, a native of Portugal, suggested I have the Pasteis de bacalhau, which consists of...
