Crossing the Line
I think I may have gone too far with this current show I’m working on. Will Bachelorettes and Girl’s Night Out parties really appreciate all the subtle winks to the Stations of the Cross?

Is someone going to tell Oprah the drag queen she’s gushing over isn’t really Diana Ross?
Judging a Book by its Cover / "Let the Great World...
Have you read “Let the Great World Spin?” It’s so beautiful. It makes me so happy. I haven’t read it — but the cover is so great, I can look at it for much longer than I can look at any of the other books I’ve bought but never read.
It’s got this two-tone color scheme, this off-white eggshell background with reddish orange type and very fine line-art...

So clean... Such pretty garbage.
How do I know when I’m supposed to be writing something?
I tidy.
How do I know when I’m behind on writing something?
I clean.
How do I know when I’m really behind on writing something.
I disinfect the inside of my kitchen trash can.
Urgh
Two sentences into Russell Brand’s monologue from last night’s SNL and I’m praying for some sort of embolism. At least he’s got the “projecting” part of performing down. Oops. Forget it, he’s just screaming.
A good use of time and money.
If you were to reconstruct how I spent 2010 according to my tax receipts, it would seem like I spent the majority of my time in the back of a cab drinking coffee.
Justifications and Rational Logic
I’ve been neglecting this thing for far too long, and now that I’m actually on deadline to write something, I’ve decided I’m long overdue to take a renewed interest in the internet. Also, because my apartment is already clean, my tivo is empty, I’m never really going to get through The Cloud Atlas, and I’m literally snowed into my apartment.

And then there's the death of the ego
There’s a really delightful moment after a collaborative sketch show… It’s that kind of moment where you realize they it’s the group mind and not the individual performance… Gay, I know.
The most I could ever hope for as a sketch comedy...
Jesus. Thanks to my collaborators and supporters this eve.

one down, four to go
Grad show last night. Nxt’s next, and it may have a closer and a title. We’ll see.
Need to start my own writing for a couple of shows, one for xmas and one for next March. Jesus, how has it come to That I’ll know what I’ll be doing next spring? Flies in the face of the fancy hobo ethos I espouse…
In other news, listening to Malawi covers of Vampire Weekend while...

Lifehack this.
How the hell can I lose an hour so quickly with the nothing more than changing my default color scheme to show for it?

Advice
I went somewhere else once. I didn’t like it.
I overheard there’s a storm coming. A tropical storm.

Things I now worry about that I didn't think about...
1: Am I eating soon enough after working out to maximize my efforts?
2: Am I behaving in the manner of an INTJ, or am I using my MBTI as an excuse for misanthropy?
3: Will I always live in the amount of debt I have now?

Missing
I’m not sure if it’s something I lost or something I never had, but there’s some part of my brain missing. The little self-censor inside most people that says, “Hey, maybe it’s not a good idea to get everyone in the theatre up and lead them down the street to harass dave coulier.”
“Hey, champ… I liked Guided by Voices as much as the next guy, but cool it...”

After 6 hours of "Big Love"
Nicolette Grant: This guy from work? He's a real mover and a shaker, Wanda. He totally made up an excuse to call me yesterday. I think he was flirting with me... Do you think?
Wanda Henrickson: Has he chased you at night? Has he tried to put you in the trunk?
Nicolette Grant: He's not really like that. He wears cardigans.
“Why are you massaging that bird’s anus with a q-tip?”

Too Much Improv
After four years of having conflicts and being able to avoid going, I finally went to see SB at IB. They won. Woot.

Disney on Ice
I’m pretty sure Simba had a boner throughout “The Circle of Life.”
Not gonna book this one
Show up to an audition. See that everyone else called in is a heavyset 50 year old. Sad when you’re not a heavyset 50 year old. Rather, sad when you think you’re not.
Where I'm lacking in many ways
Can someone explain Thornton Wilder’s “The Skin of our Teeth” to me?
