I Can Has Banter Pleez?

     I just finished the most excruciating two hours of my year so far.  I was recording some audio/video tests for a video series I'm going to be posting here and I came to a PAINFUL realization.

     I don't work well, humor wise, alone.  When I'm writing I'm fine, because I can think about what I want to say, but when I'm just talking, I'm awkward and slow and there's a lot of umm's and ahh's and long pauses.

     This isn't a problem when I have someone to talk TO, however.  When I have someone to play off of I can be funny and entertaining without getting all self conscious and awkward.  So the videos are going to have to wait until I can either script them or I have a buddy to record with.

     And now I've made myself sad.  There is one person with whom I could banter all day and it would be seriously entertaining, but he moved across the country.  It was the right move for him, and I know he's better off out on the west coast.  I also genuinely hope he's happy.  But wishing him well doesn't mean his absence ceases to suck.

     I guess what I'm trying to say is this:  I miss you, Bob.  Even more than I thought I would.

     See y'all tomorrow.
