This feels like a really crazy time right now.
Last Sunday a whole bunch of people ran the New York marathon. A friend of mine from catering ran it, and shaved off 20 minutes of time off his record from last year. Down to somewhere around 3 hours and 50 minutes. 26.2 miles in 3 hours and 50 minutes.
Then on Friday, a bunch of my friends did an improv marathon. Tomahawk, a house team from the PIT, performed improv for 24 hours straight. No joke. I saw them around 2pm, when they were going seriously cuckoo. I saw a really hilarious show, when they were somewhere around the 3rd wind. The crazier they felt, the better the improv seemed to get.
Greg Portz performed his new show on Thursday and it was amazing. I was blown away. Everyone was. Keith took awesome pictures. It was painful and angry and hilarious and ridiculous and gorgeous.
Tuesday is a big day for me. I’m doing my solo show!
And I’m excited because… I really like my show.
My good friend Maia has worked with me on this since the summer, when I was horribly stuck on it, but wanting to write it. We have had a lot of fun getting me unstuck! (Not just fun. I have made sure to carry a heavy dose of anxiety with me throughout the entire process as well.)
It is 100 degrees away from where it started with my green notebook in February.
Now, when I think about it, I feel really excited!
So I suppose, here on this blog, I’m supposed to plug it, right? I’m pretty sure most of you have gotten some sort of announcement via one way or another which we connect.
Well, anyways, here goes:
“Happy Class” or… “Really I Just Want to Eat Cheese”

Oh yeah, and also, I found a new place to live: in a house in Brooklyn. Mayor Bloomberg was crowned Mayor of New York for the 3rd reign, and the Yankees won the World Series.
