2010: A Year in Review
And now for a sentimental post of self-examination..
I kept a LiveJournal for six years before I moved to New York and started this tumblr. I refuse to link to it because it is a sad dorky place of sad dorkiness. However, there are posts and comments worth saving, so I haven’t deleted the thing forever yet. Also, I have this game now when I’m really bored to log back into my LJ and...

How 'bout no?
I talked to my mom last night on the phone and mentioned that I had a couple of rough mics (which were mostly my fault because I’ve been mentally and emotionally pushing myself too hard to deliver good sets under pressure) and she suggested that I should give up doing stand up. You know, because if you’ve only doing something incredibly difficult for six months and it’s still...

In response to replies..

From Jean Grey to Kitty Pryde? (Man, I’m nerding out tonight.)
It’s more dark auburn than brown or red. So, Scarlet Witch.

Disaster. Well, Disappointment, at least.
I tried to dye my hair at home because I had an inch of dark roots and a head of auburn hair—and I’m cheap and impatient. Because I couldn’t find the shade of red my friend recommended, I opted for a box of auburn. On the plus side, I no longer have an inch of dark roots. On the minus side, my hair is entirely dark auburn. I’m a brunette again and not a redhead.

Christmas Card Update
Hey guys,
I know I was going to create a wacky Christmas postcard and mail it to some of you before the holidays. Unfortunately, because I’m a boob, I procrastinated until tonight. I won’t get the cards until the middle of next week when I’ll be in Idaho. So…if I promised to mail them from a NYC post office and that was important to you, I can buy tourist postcard on...

Could Paul Feig's Bridesmaids Be The First Great... →
Sheesh. As much as it excites me to hear there might be a great female ensemble comedy for next year, I hate how male comics and comedy writers like to pretend Clueless (or for that matter, Legally Blonde and Mean Girls) never existed.

Suck it, Hangover!
Is it possible to wake up hungover and still feel like this?

Gain some perspective...
A friend in Boston just posted on Facebook that they are going to Asgard (my favorite karaoke spot in the world) tonight and I responded that I wish I was there. I do wish I was going to be there, but then I remembered what I’m doing tonight.
Going to a Company Holiday Party in Times Square. (BOOZE!)
Then rushing to the Village to conduct an interview for The Apiary
Performing stand up in...

Inside with: Sara Schaefer | The Apiary →
Hey everybody! This is the interview I teased last week. Sara Schaefer, who is the Head Blogger/Researcher for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, was kind enough to do this interview about her work on the show and how her stand up has evolved in recent years.

Louis taping at the Comedy Cellar (12/13/10)
Thoughts on being one of the lucky few in Louis’s audience last night…
How do I describe the experience of seeing Louis CK tape his stand up bits for the next season of Louis?? It was amazing. Transcendent. Inspiring. Entertaining. Mostly it just felt like an honor. The Comedy Cellar is a small, cozy comedy club. There could not have been more than 100 people packed in for the show....

Me doing the comedies
Hey people in NYC, if you would like to see me do stand up, I will be performing at the Holiday Cocktail Lounge (75 St. Marks’s Place) this Wednesday night. I’m not sure when the show starts, but I’ll be performing after 8:30pm. It’ll be fun. Especially since I’ll be coming from an office Holiday party…so…I will be loose and ready to perform.
p.s. Do...

Teaser...
I just completed an interview for The Apiary that I’m kind of, sort of, pretty excited about! It’s someone I’ve recently met in real life (who is SUPER NICE) who was kind enough to talk about her awesome day job and about her stand up comedy. I want to give a hint about the day job (since I know a couple of you who follow me are HUGE fans of the show she works for), but if I name...

The Ways I Know My Cold Has Gotten Worse:
I started to pass out on my bed at 10:40 pm.
Last night (& this morning) I was that girl on subway coughing and sniffling that I usually sneer at.
I kept waking up last night with a hacking cough.
I still have a slight hacking cough. (Damn you, PHLEGM!)
I’ve blowing neon yellow goo out of my nose.
My voice is getting scratchy—but I’m trying to not be...

– Kristen Schaal in an interview with the Gothamist.
This was exciting for me to read because when I first moved to NYC I met Kristen Schaal in the bathroom of Mustang Sally’s. And like Molly Shannon was to her, she was “so kind and actually talked to me about my comedy career, which was...
