Professional Starcraft Player

Starcraft 2 was announced in South Korea. This is like Hockey 2 being announced in Canada, or Eat As Much As Possible and Have a Fucking Heart Attack 2 being announced in the USA.

The South Koreans are extremely excited about this event. The last time I was really excited about a video game was Halo 2; however, our entire nation doesn’t embrace Halo 2 like I do. Seriously, Starcraft 2 is like S. Korea’s national passtime. It’s actually responsible for improving U.S.-Korean relations.

My friend Deborah’s show, Spelling Bee, is in town at the Wadsworth, visiting from a Broadway run. I highly recommend it. Deborah is the Asian lady in the plaid. She jumps around a lot and does this pretty amazing baton routine, all while singing. It is an audacious performance!

What was highly amusing was seeing this show in New York — afterwards we were hanging out in front of the theater waiting for Deborah to come out. Our friend Jeanie, who is also Korean, was there with us and people came up to her twice telling her that she was great in the show and could they have her autograph. This was one of the funniest things I have ever had happen in front of me. The world blesses me with live impromptu humor.

My friend Sam’s show, Satisfy Me, has just opened as well. I’m really looking forward to seeing this one — it’s about fidelity in relationships, staying true to your partner as well as yourself.

Marriage is too much for me to deal with right now. I’m going to get a cat and see how I do with that. If the cat dies I’m going to join a monastery and press wine and copy scrolls. Yes. I am betting my fate on a cat.
