Birdhouse

2009-11-06T12:48:55-05:00

Today I am going to finally get around to putting up that birdhouse. The birdhouse has been sitting in its birdhouse box for over three years. Waiting. Waiting patiently to be hung from the branches like a horse thief. What...

Bad Dreams

2009-11-02T15:06:22-05:00

My dreams have become increasingly literal over the last several years. Last night, for example, after watching football all day, I had a dream in which the Giants quarterback Eli Manning appeared. He seemed like a nice guy. My interpretation...

Go Yankees

2009-10-26T12:42:46-04:00

The Yankees are in the World Series for the first time in six years. I have mentioned before how difficult it should be for me to root for the Yankees since it’s sort of like being in high school and...

A Brief History

2009-10-22T16:46:40-04:00

After my last blog entry, which dealt with my recurrent bouts of depression, self-doubt, and existential angst, so many people wrote lovely comments detailing their own experiences with similar issues that I felt compelled to address this topic again even...

Mad Pimpin'

2009-10-17T14:10:13-04:00

One of the fun things about having a blog is being able to write unfunny posts about depression and desperation. SO FUN! I’ve been a depressive my whole life, both to myself and to those around me. The kind of...

Disappointing

2009-10-14T20:51:14-04:00

I'm not going to lie. This tour is not going well. For the first time in our moderately illustrious careers, we're having attendance problems. Most performers will not admit when attendance is down, but I am not most performers. Because...

Virginia Tech

2009-10-07T10:24:43-04:00

Last night I did show at Virginia (“Whatever you do, don’t mention the massacre”) Tech with the very funny Greg Giraldo. I found it challenging showing up at a school primarily known in my mind as the site of a...

Well Done

2009-10-07T10:07:46-04:00

I don't normally get very political with this blog, but I thought this was very well done. Particularly great is the interview at the very end with the Teabagger. Don't just skip to the end, though, because the whole thing...

Soup!

2009-10-02T13:38:39-04:00

Fall is here. A great time of year in Connecticut because the trees are turning, the weather is refreshing and brisk, and the kids are back in school. (I actually don’t care about the trees and weather; it’s primarily about...

Interview I Did With the University Daily Kansan

2009-10-01T14:14:47-04:00

By Valerie Skubal Comedian Michael Ian Black says, “You'd have to shit in my mouth to make me really uncomfortable,” and you have to believe him. From movies such as Wet Hot American Summer and comedy sketch shows such as...
