Amen Clinics. I almost died.: What do you get? Boney fingers.
http://amen-almost-died.blogspot.com/2010/05/what-do-you-get-boney-fingers.html
Amen Clinics. I almost died. Wednesday, May 5, 2010. What do you get? There's a song out there someplace that says "What do you get if you work your fingers to the bone? Remember, this is a letter to the Medical Board of California. I have spent many hours in the last few months learning how psychiatrists prescribe Lithium. I know the story will be relevant. In the story, Goldilocks first finds three bowls of porridge. She tries them, saying of each, "That's too hot," "That's too cold, “and "Ju...You see...

Amen Clinics. I almost died.: May 2010
http://amen-almost-died.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Amen Clinics. I almost died. Tuesday, May 25, 2010. Complaint to the medical board, again. Yes, it keeps getting closer and closer to completion, but that old, dreaded tendency to rewrite rather than complete keeps getting in the way. I find the emails hilarious. Dr Amen is my psychiatrist's (pdoc's) friend, colleague and boss. He also has a financial (and reputation) stake in my not filing (and, more importantly, *winning*) a medical malpractice lawsuit against the pdoc and the clinic. I'd like to expre...

Rhetorich: 3/20 Variety Radio
http://rhetorich.blogspot.com/2012/04/320-variety-radio.html
The World's Oldest Gifted Child (TM) is a Stand-up Comedian in Castro Valley, Ca. Thursday, April 5, 2012. I did a 2-hour podcast on 3/20. Enormous fun. I'll attach only the 5-minute bit I performed live, but it was all fun. I was one of three guests of host Sandra Risser, a very experienced and world-traveled comic. The other two were Alex M., a performance artist poet, and Alex White another comic. I may get into more details later, but here's the bit. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The World's Oldest Gifted Child (TM) is a Stand-up Comedian in Castro Valley, Ca. Friday, March 2, 2012. Rooster T. Feathers competition. I have the preliminary round of a competition next Wednesday, 3/7/12. Here are some notes I'm using to get ready. Two are just Titles, the rest are full text. There are a LOT of new / topical / political bits. I like to live on the edge. Lots of places in the country are experiencing an unseasonably hot winter. Coming this April, H&R Sunblock. How old am I? I had to go...

The World's Oldest Gifted Child (TM) is a Stand-up Comedian in Castro Valley, Ca. Sunday, September 25, 2011. Michele Bachmann. I can't say enough. If Michele Bachmann is elected President, Americans will learn more. Tens of millions, in fact, will learn more than the first two words of "O Canada.". Now that's a hug. Http:/ www.amusingplanet.com/2011/07/snake-massage-spa-in-israel.html. What the article doesn't mention is that the $80 includes a tasty snake sandwich, err, *steak* sandwich. I think it's t...

The World's Oldest Gifted Child (TM) is a Stand-up Comedian in Castro Valley, Ca. Sunday, May 29, 2011. I Don' Got to Show You No Stickin' Badges. I hate wearing badges at conventions. Not the press-on sticky ones. Those are fine. I hate the ones I have to pin to my shirt. I'm clumsy and always end up with a nipple piercing. I came up with a much better version of this while at the show. I don' got to show you no thinkin' badges.". The change from stickin' to thinkin' works much better. Rich Orwell is th...

The World's Oldest Gifted Child (TM) is a Stand-up Comedian in Castro Valley, Ca. Sunday, April 17, 2011. I've gotten more serious about Comedy. No, there's no contradiction. Whoever said, "Dying is easy. Comedy is hard," was right. [There is, BTW, some controversy about who said it first.]. And so I'm going to spend an hour (and some hard-earned money) with a coach next month. The object of the exercise will be to identify my "voice." What is the stage persona that will work best for me? That's what lat...
