willhelm4food asked: I'm curious as to more of your opinion on "nerd girl"-"nerd guy" relations. And congratulations on the Dorothy Parker project (does that predate or post-date the Alan Parsons Project?); I'm certainly interested in seeing it once April rolls around.

Things to Worry About by F. Scott Fitzgerald |... →
Things to worry about: Worry about courage Worry about cleanliness Worry about efficiency Worry about horsemanship
Oh, fuck…my horsemanship! I need to buy a saddle…BYE!
(Seriously click the link and read the whole thing. I almost cut and pasted everything, but that seemed unfair to the site that originally cut and pasted it from Fitzgerald’s writings. GO! NOW!)

The Benedict Cumberbatch Situation | Huffington... →
I feel like I could have probably put more thought into publishing this, I needed to get this out of my system so I can think about things other than Benedict Cumberbatch’s performance in Sherlock again.
It’s a great performance. Seriously.

Look out, goons! I'm coming to playyyy...
Good things in my life right now:
I’m getting my hair did after work at Arrojo.
I’m getting dinner with Marcelle after that and she’s taking me to a Nada Surf concert. It’s like being a cool kid in the 1990’s or something, and the 1990’s were the only time anyone should ever have a desire to be cool in (besides the 1810’s and 1920’s).
I get to...

The Beverly Hills Girl: An Interview with Sophia... →
Reading this interview with Hello Giggles founder (so, my technical boss) Sophia Rossi was sooo surreal for me. The interview has all these gorgeous photos of Sophia working in her beautiful, brightly lit Beverly Hills home and it’s such a juxtaposition from where I’m sitting right now: the darkly lit cubicle at my midtown financial firm day job where, yes, I do most of my Hello...

You can wear it like a shirt
Christmas morning, 2011:
Me: Thanks, Mom!
My mom: Do you like it?
Me: It’s nice. I haven’t owned long underwear since I was ten.
My mom: Long underwear?
My sister: Yeah, Mom. You got her long underwear.
My mom: I thought it was a shirt.
Me: It’s long underwear.
My sister: It says “thermal shield-long underwear”.
My mom: Well, I thought the fabric felt nice. I...

Here is an archive of the UStream of tonight’s Hello Giggles show at UCB Theatre East! My contribution starts around 49:00 minutes in. Don’t fast forward though. You should watch the whole thing because everyone was great!
Yeah, that’s right. I just told you how to live your life.
I’m after Jake, whom I’m sorry I didn’t get more time to chat with. He’s a...

I grew up today...
…because I dealt with multiple people who have viscerally hurt me with grace and kindness.
I cannot begin to tell you how many bitter blog posts I’ve deleted in the past few hours. Only, young creative types, know this: you can waste almost a decade of your life seeking the approval of a creative institution before realizing that they’ll never champion you. They’ll put...

What's happening
What happened last night: So yeah, Gaby and I were supposed to do a Ustream thing, but Ustream was down. We will do one in the near future LIVE from my apartment in Queens. There will be wine and I will try to get Lucius on the camera. However, Lucius hates Ustream.
What’s happening tonight: 7pm the world premiere of MEGBitang—a two-prov group consisting of me and Phil Magbitang at...

Someone signed me up for Parents.com yesterday
I’ve gotten like three emails in the last 18 hours congratulating me on the changes happening in my uterus that aren’t even happening in my uterus. Stop sending me emails about babies kicking me from inside my uterus. There are no babies inside my uterus. Stop. Just stop. NO MOAR EMAILS ABOUT MY UTERUS.

Method Acting is my Shit
Today I’m at the PIT being an extra in a friend’s sketch. He told me to bring my laptop or some books so I look like I’m doing work in a coffee shop.
Little does he know that I’m going above and beyond on this one. I’m not “acting” like I’m doing work on my laptop. I am doing work on my laptop.
I’m getting all Method up in this shit....

That awkward moment when...
…you’re looking at a sketch you’re in and you think to yourself, “Why hasn’t anyone ever made fun of me for talking out of the side of my mouth like Drew Barrymore before?”
Because it’s annoying. I’m disappointed in you, friends. I thought you were all worse people than that.

“I’m not going to lie: it is a good movie. I liked it. Which is the problem....”
– I got all angry and feminist on Working Girl for Overthinking It!
Anonymous asked: MLK day is much better because it's something that people actually take seriously. so something funny/weird/silly happening in relation to that day is always going to be funnier than something happening on President's Day, a day that no one really cares about or has any personal connection to. there's no real stakes or tension there. I think you should change it back to MLK day....

Ahhh...
I have some BIG projects I’m supposed to be working on, but instead I’m just sending my friends lots of emails with the expression, “Ahhhh….”, in the subject or body of the message. It’s all I can do to cope when I’m stuck in a cubicle and far away from wine.
Ahhhhh…
