ARGH

In my opinion I bombed this week at the comedy bit. I was pretty discouraged for a second, but then I went to the library and got some inspiration. I'm also going to play less Tyrant. It's becoming a serious problem. I'm not even going to link to it because I don't want you to get hooked. It's a slippery slope of xeno warriors and bloodthirsty vampires. Trust me.

Today I'm going to write some fresh bits and practice practice, because Monday is another chance to prove to myself that nursing shouldn't take up ALL my time.

Obama's Farce

"The president at that point was expressing his distaste for what he felt dominated his first two years, which was, as he said, a kind of technocratic approach, that if you get the right people in the room and they have sufficiently high IQs or enough sterling degrees, you are going to get answers, solutions to problems that are wide, vast, and complex. And I think the two years that have passed convinced him that maybe that’s not the case, and he spent too much time thinking, chasing that chimerical beast of the perfect solution that is arrived at through the give and take of analysis and debate." - Ron Suskind from his new book "Confidence Men"

Sorry Obama, our "democratic system" isn't about solutions it's about sensationalism. It was a noble effort. Instead of gathering up IQ points you should have been asking, who is the best showman? Bush was great at that, look at all he got "done."


The Chilean people have some good ideas, but American people/policy makers are too high on patriotism and too bloated with Hubris to make any change that will affect the people that need it most.

Get Down Girl, Go 'Head Get Down

I know I'm late, but goddamn this is a great song! Happy Friday ya'll! I really need to get on the Kanye train.

Hey! This is a great article about where I did my first comedy set covered by The Onion. Cole's is a great bar and they really do run a great open mic, congrats to Cameron Esposito and Adam Burke.

I'm itching to get on stage again soon. I want figure out if I'm a hack with beginner's luck or a hack that can make people chuckle. Thanks again to all my super supportive friends who came out and made me feel less like vomiting. I'm really excited about this new aspect of my life.

Design Sponge Book!

My favorite DIY and Design website just put out a book! The founder, Grace Bonney, seems like a truly awesome lady full of even better ideas. This is the only site I've consistently visited in my entire interwebz career. Design*Sponge online always has something interesting or beautiful to share. I can't wait until the book tour comes to Chicago. I will be the first person in line for an autographed copy! Here is the awesome (and adorable) trailer for the book!
