Why the fuck?
2burgers2fries2dietcokes:
…is this dude I know constantly updating his facebook statuses about being rejected from Medical Schools he’s applied to.
Color me confused, but isn’t that info you don’t want everyone to know?
When I was misguided-ly applying to universities for voice performance, I made a habit of posting and/or photoshopping every rejection letter I received on my journal at the...

However, I have growing concerns that they will be replaced by “Excellent Egguary” billboards

My set went well last night, and it was followed...
…from a dude comic who is younger than me and had apparently no interest in an actual conversation. I can only assume that this will keep happening.
After my set I went down to the bar to get a drink, and we were both heading up the stairs when he stopped and said “Hey, when you’re performing, if you’re going to hold the mic, move the stand so it doesn’t block...
My name is not Larua
so why do I keep sending work emails signed that way? Ugh, how embarassing.

WatchNever gets old!
I wasn’t necessarily going to post this, I just wanted to hear it, but when I noticed that EMI doesn’t allow embedding of youtube version (which I guess isn’t surprising, haaaaaaaa) I felt goaded into finding another source!

Me: If we don't get on, I'm going to start leaving messages as "Laurence"
Scarletttakesa: Michael Lawrence Dioylabio Yerxa!
Me: You can be Heidi Brandrew Johnston
(Post-whine clarifications - I am new to requesting spots on this night, so I know it might take awhile before they take me seriously, and I am definitely going to keep trying. Beyond that, I would readily believe that more men than women are asking for time. However, I think it's a safe guess that we're not the Only two females in the running, and the line-up tonight is all guys.)
This just in: Torontonians Babies, Don't Like...
Don’t get me wrong, I partially count myself among this group - I’ll walk home in snow/rain, but I try to arrive at work with a minimum of bedraggling. Today, achieving this required waiting for 6-7 jammed streetcars to pass before I could get moving, so now I have a case of the Mondays on Wednesday. For whatever reason, my mental ipod decided the best way to cope with this was to run...

Blue Valentine
Don’t worry - no spoilers, just navel-gazing.
My mom and I seem to be developing a few traditions for when she comes to visit. See a musical or two, eat some food that has actual spices and is therefore unavailable where she lives, and go to a total downer of a movie (that is also unavailable where she lives). Last year, the latter was Precious, and this year it was the title of this post...
Yesterday I saw someone carrying the Brockville...
I didn’t recognize her, so I think it’s safe to assume that she isn’t from there, and that I’ve started a trend. It’s so obvious!

Letting Him Take Pictures of Me Eating Cake
mybiggestregretever:
My biggest regret ever is letting that guy take pictures of me eating cake. I cannot escape it no matter how hard I try.

Bitch Salad, is this you???

Sorry, I know that’s awful. But yes, Linda is coming mid-day Saturday. We’re seeing A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum that night. I’m not majorly excited about it, but at the same time it should be interesting as I was in the show in high school. We’re going to the Assassins matinee on Sunday.
If the weather stays super cold and/or snowy, that will rule...
When you're worried you might forget your jokes,...
This doesn’t make them funnier, but it does get you through the set without any meltdowns!
Actually, it went pretty well, considering that the crowd was mainly all comics who tend to be rather busy inside their own heads thinking about they’ll do when they go up. I tried out a new thing and I think I can make it work, so yay!
Recently, I dreamed that I was about to go onstage...
I woke up and was relieved to find it was just a dream, but I actually am having a hard time remembering the usual flow of my set. I had a couple fantastic shows in November, but wasn’t up in December at all, so it’s not surprising.
Anyway, I’m going to see Heidi in some under-promoted thing this evening, which may or may not have more people in attendance than the open mic...

Daunted by the prospect of taking off your boots and then your pants and then putting on your pants and your boots again, but still want to try on these dresses? Luckily, they’re knee-length or better! Alls you gotsta do is deal with the toil of shirt removal, undo your Not Your Daughter’s Jeans and push them down somewhere below thigh level, and you’ll be able to get a...

Yet another example of this game’s uncompromising realism.
Today at work I accidentally double booked myself...
ajokelife:
and no word of a lie I literally Ms. Doubtfired the shit out of both of them (they were on different floors). That’s right, I attended two meetings at one time. And Just for good measure I changed the part in my hair for each room. Middle part for the lower level, side part for the upper. Although, near the end my hair was just looking a jumbled mess. I think I need a new product...

I was just eating some very crunchy kettle chips...
I got a scratch on the roof of my mouth, and then an even bigger one on the inside of my cheek, and I still kept eating them. It’s no wonder I can’t stay thin if even oral injuries can’t keep me from poor nutritional choices.
Happy New Year!!
Yes, I’m days late, but I still mean it!
