This is an email I just sent to friends and family. Please read, and please call. And please, please reblog (PLEASE) and help me spread the word. It would mean a lot to me.
This past June 14th marks 4 years since my mother Martha was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. June 17th would have been my parents’ 38th year wedding anniversary. Though life has continued to move...

Beautiful Day Today
I really only woke up at 12pm so I missed a good chunk of sunshine. The time I got, though, I was grateful for. The thing that strikes me when the weather finally turns is the smell of the subway. The trains are slightly more pungent, but in a good way. People shed their layers, or overdress by mistake, and the fragrances they douse their bodies with rise off their skin. The stations, when empty,...

(via Hal Phillips)
This just happened to fall into my internet hands on the eve of the theatre’s biggest panic fest: a ranty post about feeling like a failure in the comedy business from a veteran many of us admire.
I know it applies, I’m sure it applies, but I also just think it’s super fascinating, and so I’m posting it.
Thanks, McNulty. Try to get THIS out of your... →

Improv Notes From My Mom
1) You always have to make YOURSELF look good. They should only pay attention to you.
2) If someone says “Nice refrigerator” you should say “You mean, my TV?” That’s funny.
3) You need to take dance classes so that you look more feminine on stage.
Does anybody else remember the Thatcher Illusion?

What?
My agent sent me a youtube link to my commercial today.

He then sent me what appears to be a parody of said commercial, created by the same company.

Does practice make perfect?
adambozarth:
digsyfinallyhasa:
Fast forward to 2009 and there are now one bajillion teams, almost none of which practice. A lot of them are two-to-three person teams, but it seems like there are now a ton of side projects. Every improviser is on at least three teams. And as all of our careers take off, be they real world or UCB world related, there’s no time for practice with your indie team...
Her Tumblarity
Anna sat in her living room, chomping on frozen grapes and homemade croutons. That was one thing about Anna, for all the things she couldn’t manage to fit into her schedule, making healthy, somewhat gourmet snacks wasn’t one of them. The Gmail tab in her browser caught her attention. She had e-Mail. She checked it. Nothing new, more talk of improv teams, rehearsing and performing,...

Scientist
Me: My friend wants to be a world-renowned scientist! I think this is great. We need another highly visible scientist of some kind to get out there in case Stephen Hawking dies. It's important to be able to put a face to the field, you know what I mean? Anyhow, she's not good at studying, and doesn't have the right undergrad degree for going into any scientific fields, and she's broke. It sounds like a good underdog story to me - she might have a sudden epiphany and realize she's been a scientist all along, just in ways she didn't know were useful.
JR: ERZZZZZZZZZ, it almost sounds like you're setting up a "person who's great at something was really bad at it in their youth" situation, or a "person who has genius-level theories was previously just a non-scientist with untapped potential"-type story, both of which are modern fiction tropes based on myths about Albert Einstein. As a child he was at the top of his class, and not bad at math, as the myth goes. Also, though he was a patent clerk while he did some of his earliest groundbreaking work, he had already studied mathematics and physics in Zurich. So it's not like he was just sitting around one day filing papers and suddenly a flash of lightning filled his head with all these great ideas. Ok? Do you understand that? Your friend isn't going to suddenly become a scientist without YEARS AND YEARS of hard work and discipline. IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. IT WILL NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT FA-FA-FA-FA GALUNKADUNKA CHIN CHIN DURRRRRRRRRR BUH BUH BUH BUH DURR!!!
This was Anna Rubanova's dream. Sorry, Anna.

Yesterday at the Clinique Counter
Anna: Hi, I need this cream for my mom. (Points to catalog)
Makeup Girl #1: Oh, you know, it's bonus time. You could get something for yourself as well, and get a free gift!
Anna: Umm, all right.
Makeup Girl #1: This is Superdefense SPF 25. It's great, against free radicals, sunlight. Like, we don't need to fix wrinkles right now, but we want to defend against them, right?
Anna: Umm, right.
Makeup Girl #1: And this cream right here, it's great for stress, smooths out those worry lines, you know?
Makeup Girl #2: Oh, did somebody say #11's?
Makeup Girl #1: That's right! #11's (Points to forehead)
Makeup Girl #2: Yeah, my dad said if I came back home with those he'd make me get Botox.
Anna: What?
Makeup Girl #1: Ummm.
Makeup Girl #2: Well, he's a doctor, so.
Makeup Girl #1: Oh, okay.
