“The children now love luxury…”
– …they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble...

Episode 1: “Beans”
So…I went to college with these guys. They were on the sketch team and I was in the improv group. But they are funny and nice (still!) and you should watch their funny webshow.

So accurate. Especially the "dislikes" part.
Capricorn Key Words:
Strengths: Responsible, good managers, disciplined, self-control, dark sense of humor.
Weaknesses: Know-it-all, unforgiving, condescending, expecting the worst.
Charismatic marks: Medium build, can get in shape with effort but tends to be a bit soft.

Dislikes: Almost everything at some point.

Controversial Opinion
I’m just putting this out there…
I think the salads made at “Hale & Hearty Soups” are better than the ones from a place called “Just Salads”. I also think the salad I got at the Mrs. Fields/Deli in the subway concourse was better than the salads I got at Just Salads. Discuss.

Don't throw a possum at John Mulaney. Really.
I skipped the P.I.T. last night and saw Totally J/K at the UCB. It was an interesting show because I think the comics were trying out new material. Actually, that’s wrong. Rob Cantrell mentioned doing his bits before. Leo Allen gave his set a pre-amble that led me to believe it was new. John Mulaney’s is definitely all new. Well, maybe not. None of it was from The Top Part and...

Fleet Week in NYC →

You mean there are events? I thought the highlight of Fleet Week would be flashing a sailor one boob.

Deathly Hallows epilogue set photos leaked!!
Evidently, the make-up team is interpreting “mid-30’s” as looking like “mid-50’s” or “being so hideous you are forced by law to wear a sack over your head”.
It’s gruesome, guys. If that’s what getting older has to look like, I’d be willing to try dying.

While on a conference call today, I rubbed the back of my neck and discovered a bobby pin was stuck in the collar of my shirt. It didn’t fall out of my hair. Discuss.

Thoughts while watching the Lost finale..
Granted, I haven’t watched Lost really in over a year, but I have been keeping up with the big plot points online. After watching the unLocke/Jack showdown, it seems to me though that it’s become a lot like Supernatural S5. Fair statement?

Ugh, taking two sketch writing classes at once is...
…because based upon what I learned this week at the UCB I should SERIOUSLY edit and rewrite my commercial parody for my Magnet class tomorrow. But, based upon what my Magnet instructor wants, I should keep it a fat, lame, long piece of shit so I can edit it down later. Plus, I don’t know if I was supposed to approach a commercial parody with “game” in mind or not, because...
Oh, and this time it has to be Bill Hader!

Um, fuck yeah!
Um, you guys, I just reserved a seat to see Totally J/K at the UCB next Wednesday. $5 to see Leo Allen, Rob Cantrell and John Mulaney (!!!!) do standup. Who else wants in?
I might be falling in love with the UCB
I used to hate the UCB. Really. Everything I heard about “game” as a collegiate improviser disgusted me to the core. The one time I’d seen Asssscat, the actors spent most of the time heckling the audience and indulging in toilet humor.
But now? Well, I’ve seen some amazing stuff and some better than average stuff there. I like how the shows are typically $5 or free,...

I LOVE finding out who wrote what. It’s a total mystery to me why SNL can’t add a byline to the hulu clips saying “written by:”. It would be really fascinating to see if you can track certain writers’ voices and batting averages for getting on air.
Hello, there.
I only started this blog about a week ago, and already people I don’t know in real life are following me. As I have a touch of the narcissism, this pleases me greatly. Thanks for following!
I’ve noticed other peeps on tumblr occasionally welcome these strangers into their world with a blurb of personal information. So, it’s personal fact time!

Supah Fwee!
So last night marked the third Wednesday in a row I spent at the P.I.T. and afterwards, Mustang Sally’s. The consensus after the 7pm show was that both teams, Local 154 and Borealis, gave incredibly strong performances. I think I’m most impressed with both teams’ internal chemistry. The members of Local 154 seem to have very different and distinct comic voices, and yet they...
Damn, it feels good to be a gangster
Super Fwee Wednesday at the P.I.T. and then Mustang Sally’s.

eliseability asked: Aw man! I ended up doing the same thing and I'm kicking myself for it because Paul Rudd was there too.
Btw thanks for following me. Your Big Lake review basically said everything I thought as well.

Daughters of Empire
I just had this madcap idea for an improv or sketch show about girls who snuck into the Imperial Academy ala Yentil or She’s the Man. They discover they are the only girls there and constantly are freaking out about how hot that new recruit Soontir Fel is, or how the mating habits of Hutts make no sense, or how all the stormtroopers look a lot a like, or how the Empire actually seems to be...

Big Lake screening
Last night I was priviledged to see two episodes of Big Lake at the UCB. Because Chris Gethard and Horatio Sanz asked us in the audience to not post spoilers, I will do my best to avoid any plot or joke details.
The bottom line…good or bad? Really good. My feeling is that this is definitely going to be a hit for Comedy Central, if not a cult sensation. It really comes down to when they air...

I now understand all those over the top live laugh...
…the secret, my friends, is free booze for the audience. Yep. Free screening + free booze=very enthusiastic laugh track for a sitcom.
More thoughts on Big Lake (no spoilers, of course) coming tomorrow.

You were all right. There. Happy?
Whenever I’d try to explain why I was done with improv to an older, wiser improviser, they’d be really supportive and then explain I was just going through a phase. Apparently I was supposed to go through an anti-improv phase only to return to it with renewed passion. I didn’t believe them. Well, they were right. I desperately want back in. *sigh*
