I did my first standup set at an actual comedy venue this week. Here’s some of it!

This is the world’s longest anaconda skin. It belongs to my family. (That’s me fourth from the left.) My grandmother grew up in the Amazon, and one morning her family heard a “MNNNNFFGGHHRRRR” noise coming from the river, and when they got there, they saw an anaconda swallowing one of their cows whole. My great grandfather shot it and then lassoed it to a tree so it wouldn’t thrash and flail away into the water and vanish, then he skinned it. There are still two bullet holes, from the entry and exit, in the skin. Whenever our seventeen first cousins and eleven aunts/uncles get together, we get a photo alongside/behind it. It’s longer than all of us lined up. PS: Some people have asked where the skin is now. My grandmother passed away this summer (this photo was after the service), so we might give it to the Smithsonian or something. For now, it’s rolled up in really old cloth in my uncle’s house, I think.

Got some extra time in a piano room after recording a friend’s vocals, figured I’d lay down Ray Charles’ recession anthem for y’all.

Sometimes the History of Jazz classroom is unlocked.

Going through old facebook videos is wild. So much has changed in two years.

nosuchthingtoday: Tumblr portrait!One Benkling COLOR ME FLATTERED. Jesus that joke really flops when it’s anything but a coloring. Why is a crayon drawing a “coloring” but a paint drawing a “painting”? Is “crayoning” even a thing? I suppose the analog there would be “paintbrushing” because it refers to the applicator, but then what? “Waxing”? WAX ME FLATTERED. Oh wait shit this is a painting. That didn’t solve anything. Anyway, thanks nosuchthingtoday <3 I’m going to frame it and put it behind a curtain in my attic and let it bear all the damages of my sin and corruption.
