Hogging the spotlight.

A few days ago, I posted my interview with Liz at Marriage 101 as part of the Great Interview Experiment.  Well, today, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Wendy, who has an amazing blog at Quiet About A lot of Things.
Here it is (her questions bolded, my answers in plain old font).
So, you [...]

Playin’ in the dirt.

Sometimes I forget that the people around me don’t always share my sensibilities.  Like the time I was sitting around with a group of friends talking about politics, only to learn that some of them were Republicans.  I couldn’t believe it…how could people I love spending time with and shared so much in common with, see things so differently than I did?  I mean [...]

Getting what I deserve.

Okay, the Secret, I get it.  I should stop fucking with you.  When I said I wanted a paying gig, and then the universe delivered it to me, I should have been overjoyed.  However, I couldn’t stop bitching about how this gig was at a crappy bowling alley, how this isn’t what I meant when I [...]

A New Appreciation for Meredith Vieira

 When Neil, of Citizen of the Month fame, came up with a harebrained scheme called the Great Interview Experiment, I couldn’t sign up fast enough.  The idea is for the common blogger to interview a fellow common blogger, to prove to the world that every blogger, big or small, is somebody (and besides, who doesn’t love to be [...]

Friday Stand-up!

Holy crap!  It’s Friday already?  After that last post, I think we’re all in the mood for a little laughter, right?  So, without further ado, here it is, the second installment of Friday Stand-up!
This is the hilarious Demetri Martin, who, if you don’t know from his stand-up, you probably know from The Daily Show.  This [...]

The inevitable letdown.

I’m a little bummed right now about the whole comedy thing.  Remember the optimism I had a couple of weeks ago, where I thought the Secret might actually be working for me?  Yeah, that’s all gone.  What happened to make me feel this way, you ask (as BF has asked numerous times)?  Nothing, really.  But kinda something.
So [...]

Writers block.

Hmmm…it appears that I am at a loss for things to write about.  Since I last posted on Friday, not a whole lot has happened.  BF and I had a really great, but fairly pedestrian, long weekend (although I did win the “wife of the year” award when I agreed that BF could buy the $800 guitar [...]

Friday Stand-up

I’ve noticed that a lot of bloggers have reoccurring post themes.  Like Whoorl’s Hair Thursdays, which I cannot get enough of (there’s nothing better than a good makeover, right?).  And I had so much fun sharing clips of some of my favorite comedians yesterday, that I thought I’d make it a weekly affair.  So every Friday, [...]

Show and tell

I was thinking about Sizzle’s post about positivity, trying to figure out something that is making me extremely happy today (I’m still thinking).  But one thing that always makes me happy is watching good stand-up comedy.  So I thought I’d share clips from some of my favorite comedians (there many more awesome comedians I’d love to share, I’m just having problems [...]

Thank you, American Gladiators, part II

Being new to the whole world of blogging, I am endlessly fascinated by my Blog Stats.  For those who aren’t “in the know”, WordPress keeps stats of how many vistors there are to a blog, what posts they read, if they were referred from another site, what sites they clicked on from the blog, and what [...]
