fill-in emcee

 i went to perform at an open mic in the evening, and there was a fill-in emcee. she had the same name as a comic that gave me a role in a fringe show. before i went to get beer i did watch her set, finding out after the show that she has been doing stand-up for a year. pretty good, i said, in reference to a story about private messages where i had heard the same thing before. i was on near the end and did stories about the bank, seeing a movie, and a drag brunch. and i spoke of a story like the emcee's as well. i liked how i didn't have much to do for the day, only getting into my car in the early evening when i went to perform. there were football games on, the final week of the regular season. lead-off game was bears-packers, and the bears won on a last-second field goal. although it shouldn't have been what decided it, but the bears fumbled late and the packers kicked a field goal to go ahead, briefly. that old saying about letting a team hang around for too long was true, as the bears got points off a punt return and a turnover, leading at the half and for most of the game. second game was chiefs-broncos, but the chiefs were resting many of their players, having already locked up their division and number one seed. since it was one-sided, the network switched away from it eventually. the evening game was vikings-lions, and it was on when i was at the bar. when i got home i watched it there as well. didn't do much else in the evening, just doing the dishes. during my walks i found 1 dollar 25 cents.
