Things to maybe not say on dates anymore

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

I feel like I’ve left you guys hanging on this whole dating issue. Sure, now we all know how to get dates, but what do you do once you’re actually ON them. I don’t know. But here are some things I’ve learned you shouldn’t say.

“When I was a kid I said ‘air poop’ instead of […]

Monsters - directors cut.

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

Here is my version of my Monsters article from Cracked.com, minus the changes and photos they added. Please note - I am not writing about the director’s intended metaphor, but the instinctual fears these monsters play upon.
Horror movies are windows into society’s deepest fears. By examining the movie monsters that fascinate us the most, we […]

Cracked

Monday, August 25th, 2008

On Saturday, Cracked posted an article I wrote for them about fear and horror movies, called The Real World Fears Behind 8 Popular Movie Monsters. Check it out!
I must say, I am sort of proud that in between the “your retarded”(sic) and “lame, they just let you do this because you have tits” comments some […]

Way to go, Japan! Your Fanta commercials are much better than ours - and no creepy color-coded ladies!

Bad Taste

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

Most people my age are married or at least divorced or diseased. I have no good reason for my marital non-status other than my terrible, terrible criteria for selecting a mate. Below, please find my actual reasons for dating the men I have dated:

Good mustache.
Always had cookies at his house.
Lived in a foreign country; was […]

It was good while it lasted.

Small Factory was an adorable Sub-Pop band. In college, my roommates/bandmates and I loved them and strived to sound like them, and now they are long gone and it seems that almost no one remembers them, which is too bad. You should not be one of those people who has never hear of them of […]

My Fragile Little Comedy Partner

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

Glennis McMurray, my comedy partner, is a delicate flower. See?

Hm. Wait…ok - see?

FUCK. Seriously!

Ok, whatever, close enough.
Despite her fragility, she is a powerhouse performer and a soldier when it comes to getting through comedy shows. Last week she burst a blood vessel in her EYEBALL while we were on stage singing. She rocked it THAT […]

Hair!

Monday, August 18th, 2008

I saw the Public’s production of Hair at the Delecorte Theater this weekend and it was great! I always forget how much great music is in that show, and the cast was really amazing. Normally I hate hippies - I like my 60s more Mad Men than flower children. But these hippies were all attractive […]

Risk it.

Friday, August 15th, 2008

I am a pretty aggressive person, but I have only asked out 2 guys in my life. The first guy reacted the way my cat does when I turn on the vacuum cleaner, the second one acted the way you might if a dog walked into your office and asked you for help zipping up […]

Tropic Thunder

Friday, August 15th, 2008

Ok, so I will admit that my affection for Robert Downey Jr. borders on the insane, that my love for him as an actor has possibly crossed over into full blown obsessive delusion since Iron Man came out, but trust me on this — go see Tropic Thunder. (Especially if you are a frustrated NYC […]
