Geek Like Me - Sarah Natochenny

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

I’m starting a new series called “Geek Like Me” - profiling the geeks, nerds, and dweebs that you should know about, but probably don’t. Up first, Sarah Natochenny!

My pal Sarah is a model - which is ridiculous enough on its own. But she is also an anime voice actor, and plays the voice of Ash […]

Seriously, who are you thinking of calling??

Friday, September 5th, 2008

Oh Ghostbusters 3. You better be careful. If I decide to believe in you, to really think you’re going to happen, well then you better happen and you better be good. Don’t you break my heart, Ghostbusters 3! Don’t let me love you if you’re just going to fizzle out (Goonies 2) or end up […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Well, it was indeed a busy weekend - 48 hours of non-stop improv on 3 stages. Brooke Sheilds even showed up! I sang my little heart out and praised pedophiles and murderers along the way. If you were there, […]

The obligatory Dark Knight post

Monday, July 21st, 2008

Ok, fine, I give in. I will write about Dark Knight.But, what is there to say? When you see a Lion jump over a canyon full of diamonds on a moped made of fire, what can you say? “Wow. That was as awesome as I hoped it would be.” I mean that’s about it.I do, […]

If you liked Zoobilee Zoo, you’ll love Starlight Express

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

I have terrible taste in musical theater. If you are thinking “Wait, but musical theater IS terrible - what is the difference?” allow me to introduce you to my favorite musical: Starlight Express.This show is– I mean… there aren’t words. It has taken me 3 years of blogging to mention Starlight Express because it is […]

Hidden Messages

Just a lion.
I have been zipping through Orson Scott Card’s “Ender’s Game” books over the past few weeks (well, up until I got to Xenocide - yeesh! Snooze city, right dorks?) I mostly read on the subway or crouching in the corners of public restrooms, and I’ll tell you - people just can’t stop […]

Fear is the mind killer.

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

When I was 15 I memorized the Fear mantra from Dune* - I had plenty of time to do it, since I wasn’t busy dating or showering regularly or anything. I was thinking about it again recently and decided that in an effort to allow my fears to “pass over and through me”, I need […]
