Saturday Pictures- Spring Break edition

Here are a few pictures from our recent trip to the beach. We didn’t end up going to New Orleans because I couldn’t remove my ass from my beach towel.

That’s right BF, it is SPRING BREAK 2008!

Don’t worry, as far as I know, this child was not seriously hurt by these birds.

Ughh, I wish [...]

Friday Stand-up!

So I know its a little cheap to do two comedy clip posts in a row, but 1) its Friday, and that means Friday Stand-up!, and 2) I woke up in the middle of the night last night panicked by all of the work I have to do (which NEVER happens- in fact, I rarely [...]

I’m back, baby!!

I’m back from Spring Break ‘08 (which was the phrase that the five of us continually shouted at random intervals throughout the trip). It was just what I needed- sun, sleep, lots of laughs, and good friends. I’ll get back to posting soon, and post a couple of the gazillion pictures I took (I kept [...]

SPRING BREAK ‘08!!!

I was going to write a post about my stand-up show last night (it went really well and afterwards a 16 year old boy told me I was his fav comic EVA- how ’bout that for fans!)… but I am too excited, because my bags are packed, and as soon as BF finishes collecting his [...]

Not even a fish, Part II: This time I kill a gerbil.

Miss J‘s comment on my last post about being a danger to animals reminded me that I inadvertently left out what might be the best/worst story in my sordid pet-having history.
Age 17: My brother, a pet lover through-and-through, asks me if I’ll watch the gerbils that I bought for him for his 20th birthday while [...]

My Saturday in pictures.

Yesterday, BF and I managed to get out of the house.  We decided we’d go to one store that he wanted to go to (a used bookstore that has five floors), and then one that I wanted to go to.

Friday Stand-up.

Its been one hell of a week, friends. And while we all have had a few well-deserved chuckles at the expense of the former governor of New York, I think its time we turned to the professionals for the real laughs, don’t you? So, here it is again, Friday stand-up!!!
This is a long set from [...]

Not even a fish.

I’ve had this same conversation about a million times.  Someone (usually an older someone) will ask me if I have kids, and when I say no, their next question is always ”Oh, so do you have any pets?” Like, if we can’t bond over the craziness of child rearing, at least we can talk about the pitfalls of having [...]

Help! I’m trapped!

Help! We’re trapped in our house!

We’ve exhausted all of the fun things you can do in a snowstorm- we’ve made snow angels, tried sliding down our hill on trashcan lids, shoveled, watched bad movies, straightened the house, and made quiche.
And now, although we would probably be lazing around the house even if we could [...]

Friday Stand-up!

Holy Shizz! There is a full on blizzard a comin’ (at least thats what my local weatherman says), and the only thing to calm my fears of being stuck at work over the weekend is a little Friday Stand-up!!!
I love this clip from comedian Brent Weinbach, on right wing slam poetry:

My building was just closed, [...]
