Cows!There was a three or four years period in my life where I was constantly crossing paths with cows(both real and fake) everywhere I went and now it appears to have started up again.I don't know why but it always me laugh when it happens and I feel the need to take a picture...Deal with it! :-)

I ran my 1st marathon!I ran the Chicago Marathon on Sunday(10/9/11) and finished! I still can't believe I actually went through with this and of all places to end up going through with it, I went with Chicago. I had never been to Chicago before, so that and the fact that this was my 1st marathon made it very exciting.I was worried that waiting to get across the start line would take forever since

Gross Fake DinerGoing to a diner in my dream the other night made me wake up an hour later then I meant to wake up in the morning.That's what I get for going to a strange uninviting diner to grab some coffee(in my dream).Everyone who worked there was rude.I hadn't even asked for coffee and they had already started yelling,We only sell hot dog related foods here!I should have heeded their blunt

Damn you, Trivia Pursuit!!!I never play Trivia Pursuit but had forgotten why or if there even was a reason for it.Today I made an attempt at it after a 6 year hiatus.Suddenly it all came back...There's something about that game that makes me angry.

Yay! I ran(jogged) my second half marathon yesterday. It was awesome to run through the streets and neighborhoods of Boston I normally drive or walk through along with thousands of other runners. I was running at a decent pace until the heat finally got to me at the 8th mile so I slowed it down quite a bit. I think I had a final time that was 7 or 8 minutes slower than when I ran the Boston

So I bought new running sneakers today because when I was training for my first half marathon in the fall, I had heard/learned that you are supposed to buy a new pair after running about 400 miles.I can't wait to try them out/break them in tomorrow.This pair I got today is my second pair of "serious" running sneakers.They are very comfortable but I'm feeling a little weird about replacing my old

You know what's weird?When you're walking down a a quiet street and suddenly someone you don't know drives by you on a 4 wheelerandwaves at you as they drive by.Well, I guess it's not that weird.In all honesty, if I drove about town on a 4 wheeler I think I'd wave to everyone I passed by too...

This morning I walked by a house that had a bright pink cardboard sign in front of it that said,Whoever took my scooter, you better give it back!It was written in sharpie or magic marker.I have a feeling that that person will not be getting their scooter back.

I woke up early this morning and wrote an entry in my diary(to let some steam out!): I think I may have gotten carried away because I found random ink splatter from my pen on nearby surfaces. It reminded me of the time I once got carried away when brushing my teeth and ended up poking myself in the eye with my toothbrush. I guess some things never change...

So, I'm back to running(jogging)longer distances to prep for a half marathon I'll be running(jogging) in at the end of the month.Yesterday I did 12 miles and I'm not sore from that which I think is because I've been doing a half hour of beginners ashtanga yoga everyday from a dvd I have. It's been very helpful. Doing both the running(jogging) plus yoga has become something I enjoy instead of a

What happened to Sonja?!?!When I was in junior high I had a pen pal named Sonja. She was from Germany.I started being her pen pal as an assignment through my 6th grade history class.I was reminded of Sonja recently and realized I had saved all of her letters because we didn't email one another, we actually wrote out letters and mailed them to one another.So I read all of them(because I can be

My comedy has changed quite a bit over the last 6 or 7 yearsandI think it's because these days I'm a lot...happier.That makes a huge difference in my writing.I don't think that this detail makes me less funnybutit might make me less "edgy".There is nothing wrong that(I THINK).

So, about a month ago I registered to run in the Chicago Marathon.Ahhhhh!I'm really excited(and horrified about this).This will be my first time running a full length marathon andmy first time going to Chicago(except for when I waited at the airport there many times for lay overs in my flights in my comedy travels).I haven't decided if I will be running this for charity or just running it for

Sketchy!I sat near a guy on the T(Boston's version of a subway) yesterday who was sketching on his notepad.It reminded me of myself when I was a teenager and thought I was going to pursue a career in art.At that time I was to shy to attempt anything like stand-up and it was a struggle for me to even muster up the courage to audition for a school play.So the way I'd "put on show" back then was to

A Special Kind of LazySo, it is common among many comedians to be secretly or non-secretly working on completing a screenplay.Sometimes I fall into this category. I started writing a screenplay 8 years ago but never finished it.I just can't motivate myself to sit on my ass long enough to finish the stupid thing.I'm too lazy.Oddly, I'm not too lazy to run 13 miles.How does that work?Shouldn't it

Uh oh...One time as a child I walked down a street and saw an empty can of spagettios on the ground with the spagettios that had initially been in the can spilled everywhere beside it. This image will always haunt me and I think it's why I've made it a point to never try the product!

A Mark Twain quote that has always stuck with me is this one:Persons attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot.The quote is from the beginning of his "The Adventures Huckleberry Finn" book.I remember first hearing it when I was a freshman in college.Our teacher

Yoga? What has become of me?Over the last month I have started doing yoga.This obviously means that hell has frozen over.I have started out with the very easy level dvd kindand have found that that has prepared me for the kind I have switched over to a couple of days ago: ashtanga yoga.Ashtanga yoga is a lot more difficult than the other kind(for me) and I am just doing the very basic beginner

Comedy nerd moment!So, 10 years at this time I was completing my last semester of college in Los Angeles(via Emerson College's L.A. program).I would go to the Hollywood Improv every now and then because some of my friends performed there and I would also go to check out a lot of comedians I had heard of from tv. During that time frame I never got to actually perform at that club. It wouldn't be

Thought of the day:Events or parties that take place on a boat must be trickybecauseif you're at one and you don't feel like being there anymore you can't just quietly slip out and leave unnoticed.Someone is bound to hear/see you diving into the ocean and frantically swimming away to the shoreandthey'll probably get mad and say,Whoa, I guess the party wasn't cool enough for him/her!

So, in the past I had this problem where if I would be walking about in the city(whether it be New York or Boston or wherever)or in a mall and I'd cross paths with someone who looked like a friend or aquaintence and I wouldn't say hibecauseI would just assume it wasn't them.I'd think,The city is bustlin' with what appears to be thousands of pedestrians. What are the chances that one of these 1000

Have a Happy New Year, Everyone!10 years ago at this time, I had never traveled on an airplane before!I was horrified/excited that I was about to do that for the first time in about a week.Also, I didn't have an email address or cell phone yet.The thought of having either of those seemed absurd to me back then.I thought I'd tell you that!See you in 2010!

The cool thing about turning the clocks back over the week is that if you happened to be driving, walking, or doing any form of traveling at 2am it was pretty much like you were in a time machine.That's the only positive thing I have to say about turning the clocks back.Speaking of clocks, this one runs on water and lemon juice instead of electricity.I'm fascinated by this.

This morning I woke up to the sound of someone using a chainsaw in my neighborhood.My first thoughts on this were,Wow, that's a dramtic way to rob someone's house. They should just bust a window and keep it old school. Who the hell chainsaws through a wall in someone's house to break in?Then I fell back asleep.

Happy Saturday!This morning when I brushed my teeth I seemed to have gotten carried awayand brushed my teeth with too much passion.I ended up poking myself in the eye with my toothbrush!Luckily I still have my vision.It made me thankful that I'm not a dentist and never had any aspirations to become onebecauseif I were a dentist I bet a lot of my patients would be walking around wearing an eye

I used to write a reminder note to myself then put it in a secret place that I felt certain I would remember to look.I just found one of those notes that I apparently forgot about from a few years back.I found it in a back pack that I never use.The note said,Don't forget to fu@#ing call him!I hope I called him even though I forgot about that reminder note in the secret place.Judging from the note

I think Express(the clothing store) changed their size system.According to the jeans I purchased from them I am a now size 8,and their size 10 jeans that I tryed on but didn't go with are too big.It's very possible that I have gone done a size since I have been eating healthier and mildly exercisingbutI also notice that they seem to no longer have a size nine on their rack.I think they just call

My friend is doing a music show next weekandsent out an email to tell everyone about it.The opening line in her email is:Hey Everyone,Just a reminder that my next concert with Calliope is one week from tonight...After, I read this I immediately blurted out(in my head):Calliope Torres from Grey's Anatomy?!and started laughing.I don't think anyone else in my head was laughing with me.

Whoops...About a month ago a guy stopped me on the street and asked me for directions.He seemed really desperate and told me he was late and had no idea where his destination was and that he had gotten lost.I thought I knew exactly how to get to where he needed to go so I told him the way with the utmost confidence.As both of us walked away from one another I slowly began to realize that the

Coincidence? I think not.A day or two ago(or maybe it was a week or 2 ago), I was walking about the streets when I heard a woman yell,OMG! SHAKIRA!!!!My reaction was to immediately think,No way?

I was in the corner of a gift store yesterday reading a book filled with pick-up lines andlaughing out loud while doing this.I kind of hoped I would randomly cross paths with someone I knew.Then when they said,Hey what's up?I could pretend to be very serious and say,Not much. I'm just studying up.

Straight to DVD NightmaresSo, every now and then on my blog I have done a thing called Straight to DVD Nightmareswhere I would just type out a dream that was a really bad nightmare. When I say bad I just mean it wasn't at all scary but while dreaming it, it felt scary. Hence the name Straight to DVD Nightmares. If the "nightmare" were to be released as a movie it would go straight to DVD because

I feel the opposite of this today:

This was what I had a view of for 4 hours while riding on a bolt bus:And after awhile of staring at this I thought,Note to self:No matter how bored you get. Do NOT make out with the plug. The 110 Volts just isn't worth it.

I didn't realize that the Pyramid Club in NYC had so much history behind it.Here's some pictures I took after doing some stand-up there the other night:I didn't catch this guy's name, but he was a good sport and let me take a picture of him:

I think...my purse:is a man-purse and I'm okay with that because I really like it.

I ended up doing a lot of writing yesterday.I had so many ideas and tried to get them all down on paper that it was hard for my pen to keep up with them(yes, I still write with a pen).Looking at my notebook now, my writing looks like chicken scratch andlike it was written by a mad woman.Most of the ideas were stuff from years ago that I forgot to write down.It's weird how stuff from awhile ago

I was at Trader Joe's earlier buying milk and as I was leaving, a couple of guys who were also leaving looked at what I had bought and said,Got milk???andstarted laughing.For some reason I always find it amusing when people make the corny/obvious observation/joke like that.I think I used to many slashes in that last sentence.

Attack of the Bumble BeeToday as I was waiting to pull onto a highway, I heard a large buzzing noise and discovered that there was a bumble bee in the car and it was flying very close to me and looked like it might land on my arm.For some reason when this happened I thought:Don't show it your fear! That will only provoke it. Bees smell fear!Then I realized this was stupidanddecided the smartest

Today was the Boston marathon.I think it's amazing that everyone who did it, did itandI'm sure it must feel so rewarding to complete the running of that.But for me the biggest reward would be wearing the silver/aluminum cape that is given to you when you are finished.I saw a bunch of people walking around Boston wearing them todayandit made me want to train for a marathon for that one reason

OKI take back what I said about my drivers licence picture earlier(the "UGH" part).I think it's fine.I just look more fierce without my glasses:Ok, now I can go start my night.

UGH...I think I may have just taken my worst driver's license photo EVER.I was all prepared to take an awesome photo but then suddenly the woman who was about to snap my picture said,Just take off your glasses.Just take off my glasses?!Are you kidding me?!My glasses are my shield .Without them I apparently...take a drivers license photo where I look like a serial killer.That's what I look like in

It's about that timeI always hear people complain when they have to go to the dmv but I am very much looking forward to my upcoming visit.It's time for me to renew my drivers license.I am poised to walk into that building and take a photo for my license that comes out awesome.I've had four years(or so) to plan for this and now the time has come where I can say good bye to my old photo where I am

Straight to DVD NightmaresThe other night I had an anxiety dream that wasn't worth the anxiety.I dreamt that someone called me and asked me if I wanted to audition for a stand-up related thing that I had no interest in auditioning for but for some reason I told them I wanted to audition for it anyway.I tried to call them back to tell them that I didn't really want to audition but the call

I was riding on a bus the other day(don't mean to brag)andsitting across from someone who was talking very loud(practically screaming) on their cell phoneandthrough doing so revealed a lot of unnecessary information about them self to everyone on the bus.They also happened to be sitting directly in front of a sign that said something to the effect of:Be courteous. Don't be the annoying one using

I really...want all of the snow to meltbut I guess seeing cool posters on brick walls that I walk by make up for it.

Dr. Seusswas always one of my faves as a kid but it was more for his drawings than for his actual stories.For some reason I just wasn't into anything that rhymed back thenbutwas very much into any cartoon-y drawing I could get ahold ofandloved how his drawings looked so fun and carefreeI still love his stuff.I was at Borders Books and saw a book that had a lot of his lost art in it.Pretty awesome.
