Back in the saddle and Borat

Google's taken over blogger and I hope this new setup allows me to post blogs properly. Already my login has been Googlized. One day Google will link the email, the payments, the blogging and provide uncle Sam the technology glue to link stuff up and screw the individual. But then nothing's for free, and if you don't pay, then Uncle Sam must play (in your backyard).

I have been back doing comedy now for over a month and finally the creativity and shows are happening. Had a good show last night for a Desi crowd. As always, no matter what you say, Desis show up with their toddler in tow to an 18+ comedy show. That kid will now say the word "Fuck" better than any other Desi.

I saw Borat finally all the way through instead of watching snippets and hearing interviews. I laughed so hard that my stomach hurt. Sacha Cohen is a genius! Every single detail in the movie including the shots are built as a joke. There's the setup, then the punch, and then the tag. Rather than someone verbalizing, it's done with the camera. The movie climaxes somewhere in the middle as opposed to the end. It's good because if the humor had continued all the way to the end, I would have perished laughing.
