In which my character comes into question.
Jenny: I'm trying to decide what character you are, Geoff.
Geoff: What do you mean?
Jenny: I'm trying to figure out who you would be if you were a Disney character.
Geoff: Well, who's Chris?
Jenny: Chris is The Beast.
Jim: Yeah, because he's a single guy, he won't cut his hair, and eventually he's going to meet some girl who's going to try to change him.
Geoff: Then who's Jim?
Jenny: Jim used to be Milo from the Atlantis movie because they're both nerdy scientist-adventure guys, but now he's the prince from The Princess and the Frog.
Chris: Because he likes black women?
Jenny: No, you guys haven't seen the movie, so I can't really explain it.
Geoff: Ok, fine. So who am I?
Jenny: I don't know yet.
Jim: Geoff is Aladdin!
Geoff: What? Why?
Jim: Because everybody likes you and things always work out for you.
Chris: And you're good with words, like when Aladdin tricks Jafar into being a genie. You could do that.
Jenny: And because you lie to women.
Geoff: I don't lie to women!
Jim: Yeah, Jenny. Geoff actually doesn't lie to women.
Chris: He doesn't. Maybe that's the problem.
Jim: Yeah, maybe that explains the dry spell. You need to lie to women more.
Geoff: Jenny, what kinds of lies do women believe?
Jenny: I don't know. Jim, what lies do I believe?
Jim: You believe me when I say I want to see stupid movies with you.
Geoff: Dudes, I don't want to be Aladdin. I don't think I like Aladdin much.
Jim: Aladdin complained a lot too.

A totally inappropriate discussion that happened...
Amber: I didn't bring the CD that I was going to make for you.
Geoff: Nuts. I was looking forward to seeing you draw a dick on it. Guess I'll just have to pick up the slack and draw a dick on the CD I said I'd make for you.
Amber: I'm actually better at drawing boobs. Would you rather have boobs?
Geoff: . . .Yes. I'm a fan of boobs.
Amber: Or I could just draw a vagina, and then when we give each other the CDs it'll be like our music collections are having sex with each other.
Geoff: All music swaps should include drawings of genitalia.

Phone conversation with Tessa and Ally
Geoff: Oh my god, it feels like I've been talking forever. Sorry I got high and called you and started talking forever.
Tessa: It's cool. It's better when there's at least one sober person involved in these sort of high or drunk dials.
Ally: Whoa whoa whoa -- Tessa. I'm going to interrupt you here for a second. And I'ma disagree.
[Later on, Ally and Tessa made drinks so that they could be drinking while they were talking to me.]

This actually fucking happened at work today
Crazy Person: Can I have a piece of paper and a pen?
[Crazy Person starts writing something down on the piece of paper while Geoff tries to help the huge lineup of customers.]
Crazy Person: Have you ever seen the TV show "V"?
Geoff: No.
Crazy Person: There's an actress named Laura Vandervoort.
[Crazy Person hands the piece of paper to Geoff. The piece of paper reads "I need money for a dowry to marry Laura Vandervoort."]
Crazy Person: I need you to give me money for a dowry to marry Laura Vandervoort.
Geoff: I. . . I can't do that here. I. . . have to help these customers first.
[Samantha, the store manager comes up to the counter and escorts Crazy Person outside of the store.]

My Mom has grad-school troubles.
Mom: This tea just makes me sleepy. Maybe I should make coffee.
Geoff: What kind of tea is it? Chai?
Mom: Yeah.
Geoff: Doesn't that already have caffeine in it?
Mom: Yeah, but it's not working. I don't think it's strong enough. Maybe I need speed.

About Face Theatre: The Blog →
Hey, errbody! Dav started up a new blog for the AFT! Check it out for some of that verbal gold that Dav spits out about artistic process! Also, there are glimpses into his sketchbooks! No Batman sketches yet, though, as Dav has a very interesting rule about Batman sketches: as soon as he catches himself drawing Batman during rehearsal he must immediately stop because then he knows that he...

Update #510
This is one of those occasional work updates that I do so that I can loosely refer to this blog as a “work” blog.
I’m still working at Starbucks where I do thing like this to pass the time:
Geoff: Ladies and gentlemen! Thanks for coming out to your new favorite coffee shop, Starbucks! We are now officially closed, but we’ll see you bright and early tomorrow morning at...

I just found a couple of blank sketchbooks that I forgot about, and I think it might be time to start fucking around with pictures.
What sort of pencils do you like using for sketching purposes?

Lauren and I discuss the merits of Ke$ha
Lauren: I love that Ke$ha just writes songs about being a drunk bitch.
Geoff: She's making some sort of artistic statement, but it's slurred and she's probably hungover.

I'm talkin' to you, Librarian Pirate (please...
So, apparently you can’t reblog other people’s posts that are answers to your questions, or maybe I’m just doing it wrong. Which is a shame since I wanted to talk comics with Librarian Pirate in an overtly public forum. Here’s the original exchange. Seeing as how this post is pretty much specifically for Librarian Pirate, I won’t get offended if you allow your eyes...

The Gaga Code: Top Ten Signs Lady Gaga Is a Pawn... →
4. In the “Bad Romance” video Gaga “makes her trademark ‘Eye in the triangle’ hand gesture after her initiation to make it clear who owns her now…the Illuminati. The final scene shows Gaga lying in bed with the burned skeleton of the Russian mafiosi. Notice how everything is burnt except the two gazelle heads. The real “intercourse” happened between...

Aaron: How many times have I said that you're the bomb? Have I ever told you that you're the bomb?
Geoff: Um... I don't know. Did you just call me the bomb right now?
Aaron: No. I was just asking if I've ever called you the bomb.
Geoff: No. You've never done that.
Aaron: We're gonna keep it that way.

'Avatar' And Ke$ha: A Denominator In Common? →
Lyrically, Ke$ha’s reference points are a weird jumble of cultural references: She calls out P. Diddy as her baller role model, and only wants to ride with boys who look like Mick Jagger? The aesthetic of her video is hardcore ’80s, but her voice is totally Britney. She looks like a cracked-out Taylor Swift, and her video is like a sloppy Lady Gaga joint. She even rolls around in...

I was looking through my old twitter direct...
Geoff: If only life were restricted to love and school related woes. I suppose those two are the easiest to complain about cryptically via twitter.
Christina: Truth. Heartbreak is much more glamorous than bankruptcy. I benefited from some casual sex, but you're around people you already know. Bleh.
Geoff: Casual sex is the solution to bankruptcy! Roll up the sleeves, Mr. Obama. We've got work to do.
