Thank God for The Groundlings School, if it wasn't for them I'd still be a slacker. Today was the second day in a row that I woke up before 9am. This may seems like a fairly insignificant and pitiful accomplishment to the majority of the world, but for me it is tremendous progress. In the past I've attempted to impose artificial structures on myself to ensure that I woke up at a reasonable hour so that I could be productive like the rest of the human race. Each of these attempts at structure quickly devolved into me waking up at 2pm and working until 5 in the morning. Apparently I'm nocturnal.
Anyhow, back to The Groundlings. My folks gave me a tremendous birthday gift – they offered to pay for me to take an improv class at The Groundlings. Registration was $400 (Egad!). Classes are M, T, W 10am-1:30pm for 4 weeks. My teacher is a former company member and still an active performer at The Groundlings Theater. She's extremely enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and gives excellent notes. It's day 2 and I'm already learning a lot about how to be a better improviser.
And on the topic of Sleeping in, here's the music video for The Postal Service's "Sleeping In"
