“Because if smart women who know how smart they are intimidate men (and they do),...”
– Sady Doyle
It’s from an intriguing piece she wrote for Tiger Beatdown discussing the problems casting Liz Lemon as our modern day feminist role model presents. I’m not saying I agree or disagree with all her points—you should definitely read it, though! However, I adore this part....

Bloomberg is on Letterman
I have next to no knowledge about New York politics, being that I moved here in May and have been literally obsessed with only comedy, but it’s really cool watching Bloomberg on Letterman as a new New Yorker. I’m starting to legitimately feel NYC pride as a New Yorker.
Also, as much as I feel total and complete guilt when I miss a mic, it’s a good thing my mom is coming this...

I'm suddenly proud of my Twitter.
I’ve been putting more effort into writing witty tweets ever since I realized other comics might be following me, and now I’m on some public list of “comedy types” AND strangers have retweeted my tweet about making “muppets” a slang word.
Oh, I’m also megsokay on twitter. Follow me there, too! (Please.)

Another new follower! New Fun Fact!
A warm welcome to wellalright! Thanks for following!
Here’s your Fun Fact…
FUN FACT#13: My favorite drinks are gin & tonic (preferably Tanqueray 10 & tonic) and cheap merlot. I have the same taste in alcohol as an old lady who swans around her empty, but luxurious, apartment trapped in memories of the “good old days” when Broadway was King and beautiful men would...

Ugh...home sick from work
I’m trying to realign my chakras or something so I can stick to my plan of hitting a mic, doing my Level 2 grad show at the PIT, and then hitting another mic.

Free writing!
Thanks for your nice replies regarding my pilot idea last night! I actually started free writing today at work—simply out of boredom—and I think I have a good 5 - 7 pages of script written. Of course, it’s unformatted and out of order, but it’s a really good start! I wrote a pilot last Fall and I already think this one is better simply because of all the things I’ve...

Body Sense & Scents is totally a good satiric take...
Right?
I’m considering actually writing a pilot I’ve been brainstorming for over a year. It’d be about a 20-something who loses her office job and then has to move back home and take her old mall job to make ends meet. So, it’d be a premise with actual timeliness (the lost generation of the recession) and with a lot of funny ladies (the female employees and customers...

I’m half:

And worried it might end up like:
But it will probably just be:
So, I’m just going to play it like:
But inside, I’m still a little:
Because, okay, it’s kind of cool.

A Tumblr celeb started to follow me!
Uprightcitizens started following! Welcome! This is cool. I think I’ve followed or been aware of your tumblr since I started my blog. So yayz!
I never know if I should keep explaining this or not, but I’ve started offering “Fun Facts” about myself for every new follower. I’ll make it more of a fun fact story…

itssaturdaynightlive:
I know Abby has been there longer, but for me, I felt that Nasim’s contributions to the show have been greater and more in keeping with SNL’s sensibility than Abby’s. I don’t know.
I see what you mean, but I think one of them had to be promoted, and it would look really odd if Nasim was given preference over Abby. To be honest, I think they’ve made equal...
I think I saw the real-life inspiration for Nicholas Fehn at a mic today. Or maybe his act was based on Nicholas Fehn?? Either way, my mind was blown by his two minute set ‘riffing’ off the front page of the New York Times.

I have no idea what’s happening in Rockefeller Plaza. They’ve erected crazy stuff before. There was the Better Homes & Garden’s Kitchen or whatever—total eyesore in front of 30 Rock. However, they’ve closed off this part of the Plaza for the better part of this week. There are these weird iron helixes outside 30 Rock....

Sorry I missed you guys yesterday! Welcome to artistsarepussies and atumblrexperiment!
FUN FACT #10: I was one class short of being a Classical Studies minor in college. I dropped Mystery Cults in my first semester of my senior year because the professor was so boring and then rather than take an Ancient Warfare course the last semester of senior year, I took a class in Morris Dancing. You...

What now, universe?
Ugh! I waffled on signing up for the next Level 3 class at the PIT, and now it’s sold out. Does this mean I’m supposed to hold off for a month and save up some money? Or is the universe trying to convince me to go back to the UCB and take Sketch 201 with Rachael Mason next month?? Hmm…I will consult my horoscope on this…any ideas?

A Friend of a Friend on Twitter: heeeey! Been a while... How is everything? How is the act?

A Friend of a Friend on Twitter: this is true. I wish u the best. Hopefully in a few years ull have ur own sitcom lmao...

That’s Aunt March from Little Women (1994) discussing Jo. It could also be normal people talking about me. Remember how I was only a few chapters into The Hunger Games yesterday? I’m now more than halfway done. Okay, I’m liking it.
Also, sorry if there are people reading this who don’t agree with me care, but as of page 214, Kaya Scodelario is my Katniss. I’m not...

Two items: 1) When and where is the mic? I’d love to finally see your standup! 2) That GIF is amazing and I want to marry it. Just a little. To paraphrase Jack’s Joker, “Where do you get all those wonderful toys?”
Two answers: 1) It’s mostly likely going to be at the Yippie Museum at 7pm. You’re...

I saw Rachel Maddow AGAIN on my lunch break! Different location, though, and I didn’t freak out nearly as bad. What weirded me out is that on Monday she was steezed out in this hip geek chic ensemble and today she was just wearing a black t-shirt - wait for it - that looked identical to what Seth Meyers was wearing when I saw him on Monday in the Concourse! Secret lovers? Hell no. But...

Book It!
Do you remember Book It! at Pizza Hut? That was the best. I wish more restaurants fed you for being literate.
Anyways, I finally decided that I need to read a book again. I have a ever-growing list of novels and non-fiction tomes that I need to catch up on, so I made the wise choice to pick the least dense and most juvenile title to start with: The Hunger Games.
Okay, I’m only a few...

…but I will still be dragging my ass out to a mic. My new sketch/improv team isn’t meeting tonight, so that means I have no excuse. So the plan is do a mic and then go home and watch my DVRed episode of America’s Next Top Model. With a glass of wine. See? Women can have it all. (Sort of. With compromise.)
