my
brilliant plan to rise to greatness by screwing up my life really badly then
unleashing the most vicious surprise attack of capability the world has ever
seen is going along as planned. phase one, that is.
right
now i am watching "last comic standing" on nbc and it's filling me
with anxiety! partly because it makes me sad that i could never be confident
enough to go onstage and do that, yet at a time it was something i really
wanted to do, but mostly because i get really nervous for people on tv. in fact,
i think i experience about 67% of my emotions for people on tv. that is sad,
but it's not my fault. when i was a kid my grandma watched a lot of soap operas
and that's how i learned to feel.
omg,
time out, see, i just saw a promo for "america's got talent" and
started crying a little. if i wasn't so cynical and a big queer, i would be a
marketing team's dream come true.
anyway,
back to the comics, i think comedians are seriously undervalued in society. if
the world was fair, funny people would be way more famous than hot people.
granted, being funny and hot would probably be the best case scenario. a couple
of weeks ago amy caron and i went to a comedy show at the hollywood improv
called gays r us (uh huh) as we were invited by a friend of a friend, comedian jennie mcnulty.
jennie
was really funny, as were several of the night's performers, including erin foley who was on
last comic standing tonight. she is funny and pretty hot so hurray for her. okay, i'm just
bitter, seriously, she's pretty hilarious. there were a couple of other
comedians that made me laugh out loud big time. if i were a serious journalist, that story would have been beefed up by my meticulous notes and photos. well,
i'm not, so all i can say for certain is that the two drink minimum at the
improv is a real pain in the ass, but i drank a large "sex on the
stage", and as everyone knows, nothing turns a frown upside down like a
theme cocktail. there were two other girls who were close to my age and one of
them was absolutely HYSTERICAL, if dark, and another who had good presence and
delivery, i thought, but her jokes were surprisingly dated for her age. rosie
o'donnel jokes? seriously? in any case, i was filled with envy, as i always am
when i go to comedy clubs and see them gathered together, a little community of
funny people. even the door guy was funny.
whatever,
i'm sure someday i will find my own special community of … of … well,
whatever i am.
here is a
video of erin foley, just for funsies since she is on "last comic
standing." amy caron worked on a special project video with jennie
mcnulty, which i will be posting as soon as she releases it.
*NEVER MIND about the video. the fucking stupid awful new typepad compose window is being a dick and reformatting things and not showing things and changing my background AHHHH. i am in a murderous rage currently. don't ask why the text of the links up there is larger cause guess what? I HAVE NO IDEA. i hate you, typepad.
