In order to participate in the Blogathon without being chained to a desk, I’ve made a new purchase. I am now the proud owner of one of these.

(I’m already a Cingular subscriber, so it was a good choice for me.)

Tonight another of the newbies from my group at ComedySportz made his debut. I particularly liked some of his mime work – there were really nice bits of detail, and I could ‘see’ the object he was shaping and using. I liked that he gave it mass when he moved it.

I was sort of distracted during the show though, because I lost a filling and cracked a tooth the other day, and while there’s no pain in the actual tooth, the inside of my cheek is swollen and sliced to ribbons. I got teary during Freeze Tag watching as tonight’s playerz helped an audience member set up a marriage proposal to his (very) pregnant girlfriend, and it wasn’t just that I was moved, it was pain cutting in.

After the show, many of us went to Spaghetti Warehouse for dinner, which was tasty, although I couldn’t eat the bread because it requires too much chewing, and they were out of tiramisu. My chocolate sundae was nice, but there were nuts in the magic shell. Oh, well. At least pasta and mushrooms were mushy enough for me to eat.

It will be Wednesday before I can get to the dentist, because of work and the 4th, but the swelling’s already improving, and Blistex makes this great KankaPen thing that has a soft brush which dispenses novocaine gel into the furthest reaches of my mouth, and my cheek is already starting to feel a bit better.

So, all in all, it was a nice night.

A friend once commented that even though I tend to be really guarded in real life, I’ll talk about almost anything in my blog. That’s not entirely true – I tend to avoid spouting my politics, for example – but I do have a tendency to be far more revealing in text than I ever am in person, unless I know someone really, really well.

Wikipedia refers to this by a term coined early in the existance of weblogs: escribitionism. I’ve liked the way the word tastes for a very long time, and as I’m prepping for a new project (Blogathon 2006), and have just changed my blogging engine and skin AGAIN (longtime readers will recognize the return of a favorite template), I thought I’d adopt it for a while. As one does.

Speaking of Blogathon, I’m blogging for First Book this year, and I hope you’ll all support me.
