nice to see you and your purdy new hair yestedee courtney! what album did you end up buying?
hope the show went well last night. I've missed the festival entirely this year. Tis a sad situation where a lady can't ROFLMAO at the Comedy Fest in her own hometown.

Why hello, hello! And how is it going with you? Things up here are crazy hectic. I'm getting promoted next week, I've been helping my mom move into her new house, and I've learned that I can't send my brother pork products where he is in Iraq. What can ya do? I hope all is well down on that side of the planet. I'll try and keep things straight here, but this is America, the odds are stacked against me.

Now I have heard a rumour that there is a Cable Guy 2 that went straight to DVD. Do you know anything about this?

By any chance are you also a fan of the Jim Henson's Storyteller series? Because if you are you are my new best friend.

whether you call it sporadical or nonstopical, I'm still glad I found it. It's not often you come across some genuinely funny comics who should be bigger than they are. Take care.

Ahh, the red sock story! Hearing that is like running into a long lost family relative I never wanted to see again. It's only a matter of time before red socks are added to the list of things that cannot be taken on a plane.
How about the story where he was an extra on a Bollywood movie or the one when he has the affair with the elephant?
Keep me posted on whether he has any new stories, I'm not holding my breath.
Post uni life is going ok and I'm keeping myself busy
Cheers, jon-jon.

Hey Courteney,
I hope that you are still rocking as much as anyone can rock, infact I hope you are rocking even more than that.
Rock on

Have you ordered your copy of the newest Harry Potter book? I'm predicting it to end kinda like the Matrix without all the special effects.

Have any thoughts about the media perpetuating a dominant capitalist ideology? At well under the word count, i clearly don't.
Speaking of bad parody songs, check out www.myspace.com/bipodchirst. It's my friends band, and they are LOL but not ROFL. Hmmm...
