Whiplash - November 29, 2010
People still want to read these, right?
Last night there were only two advertised comics: Todd Barry & Chris Gethard (and of course, Sean Patton, who is still filling in for Leo Allen*). So obviously, Sharron and I joked that the rest of the bill was either huge, secret, awesome, famous, god-like comics that could not be advertised OR they were scrambling to fill the slots with local...

Postcards from NYC
I told Amy last night that in exchange for her sending me a Christmas card, I would send her a kitschy Christmas in Rockefeller Center postcard from the 30 Rock post office. It’s cuter when you consider the point of her tumblr.
That said, if anyone else out there would like a kitschy Christmas postcard from NYC let me know by leaving your mailing info in my ask box. I’m oddly in the...

EXACTLY.
New York Magazine: Which do you prefer, the old Times Square or the new Times Square?
Fran Drescher: New Times Square. Ya know, call me silly, call me crazy, but I prefer the Disney Store to Triple X Girls Girls Girls.

Oh, the stories I’ve only shared with three of you via private message could fill a solid six episode BBC style season….

I just emailed my mom my Christmas Wish List
Should I still be allowed to do that if I’m a month shy of 26? It wasn’t my idea. My mother demanded it. This is what I asked for:
A Flip Cam
Black Leather Gloves
Tights
Argyle Socks
Mad Men on DVD
A New Coat
I kind of intended on having a low key Christmas, but now I’m wondering if I should try to summon the old Christmas spirit. I’m a grown-ass woman. Is it worth...

luckypaperstars asked: AHHH! I can handle it if you can. Burlesque + 4Loko + macaroons? If not, that's cool, or if it's amazeballs we can see it AGAIN.
laurajoymusic asked: Hi Meghan,
I'm a member of Paradigm Shift, the New York City metro-area’s largest feminist community group and event series. I found your blog kind of accidentally, but it occurred to me that you might be interested in a feminist comedy event we have coming up on Dec 9. Come and find me if you end up attending. I'd love to meet you! I book talent for our events, so...

kristinwashere:
This reminds me I’m supposed to write a “Magnificent Seven Lady Comic Honorary LadyScout” post for Lady Scouts. Curtin is one of the seven I’m writing about. There WILL be honorary mentions because as I told luckypaperstars, just being a female comic who bases her routine on more than celeb gossip or shocking sex stories makes you automatically a...

“And as a typical father who cares about male dominance, I never wanted to really...”
– Chevy Chase on the kids in the National Lampoon movies.
I think he’s joking?? It’s time to admit that I’ve never been able to tell when Chevy Chase is trying to be funny or not (Unless he is falling down or wearing a shark costume. Those are obvious attempts at humor).

"I want a zombie apocalypse Decameron. Now." |... →
My good friend, Perich, strikes again at OverthinkingIt.com. This time he explores how the zombie genre reflects modern American stress over urban flight. Also, is Taylor Swift’s narrator in “Mine” Tony & Gina’s daughter? Discuss.
These are all noble time wasters.

The above quote is from Seth Barrish, director of Mike Birbiglia’s Sleepwalk with Me. Last night Caitlin and I drank wine in a wine bar like classy broads and got to see Birbigs at Whiplash.
I should preface my review of Whiplash by acknowledging that I’m in the midst of a weird week in stand up. I am purposely making myself uncomfortable on stage. I’ve spoken before on here...

If I were 17 year old me, you would all be covered in word vomit right now.
Since Meredith and I are mid-twenties now, we are both covered in private message vomit right now. Such is the controlled temperament of adulthood.

Moral Dilemma
I met a douche bag while I was in Boston. In the past I’ve always taken the high road with douche bags. Mainly because I used to be far more timid and I just didn’t have the energy to conceive of ways to bring bad people down. However, this douche bag was actually dumb enough to give me enough dirt to easily strike back at him. Like, super easy.
The question is this, do I continue to...

Vacation, all I ever wanted.
I’m pretty relieved to be back in NYC. Boston was great, but New York is my home now. Some interesting things that happened while I was in Boston:
Did Asgard karaoke for the first time since April.
Went to Picco again with Victoria and once more enjoyed the splendor that is adult ice cream soda
Spent a lot of time with Maggie & Angela! WIN!
Ate dinner in the North End.
Had two...
Morning Glory, or things that aren't happening...
Me: Don't laugh, but I really want to see Morning Glory.
Maggie: Oh, is that that new Rachel McAdams movie?
Me: Yeah!
Maggie: I can't wait for that movie to come out...
Me: It's out now.
Maggie: ...because then I won't have to see all of those stupid commercials for it. Ugh!
