Once again, my Metachat Minions make me feel human again.

Well, we kind of have to since we built you in our secret laboratory. Sorry you had to find out this way.

What's either tragic or wonderful about that is that I wish it were true. It's quite the compliment, actually.

Also, a maintenance man in the elevator told me I 'should be acting.' Not sure what he meant by that. Then I saw a dude walk by with yellow-tinted futuristically chromed rimmed shades on. But they didn't attach to him over his ears, but with a clamp-type contraption that fit over his shaved head. Dude looked like a fuckin' cyborg.

If anyone tells you that, Jon, heed their advice. You have excellent resources in NYC for training and just getting on stage. Use them and see how you like it.
Of course, I say this when my own need to do it is taking a massive hit, but try anyway. You'll meet amazing, mecha-like people with fascinating lives and great opinions and stories.

Plus, you're way better-looking than I am and will get more roles.

I dunno where this dude decided that I should be an actor since I have never met him before to my knowledge and was literally just standing in the elevator staring at the wall. maybe he wants to get in my pants. Pips, get your bat out. Take care of the pisser-talking disarming-uncertainty muckety muck while you're at it.

I'm now working on this record. An 'opera' inspired by The Who's 'Tommy,' composed and performed by a Jewish guy from Brooklyn (with help from Justo betancourt and Celia Cruz, among others) who was the only non-Latin on Fania records. I gotta get me my very own copy of this bad boy.

Elizard?

Glad you got it, and that it came at the right time. You're pretty amazing yourself, mon ami.

Er...the right time to cheer you up, that is. Not the right time to listen to it. Which is a shame.
