At the National Comedy Theatre there is a game we play every show called 5 Things. One of our teammates will leave the room so they can’t hear what’s going on and the ref will get 5 activities from the audience (Olympic sports, team sports, extreme sports, household chores, etc). After getting those 5 activities [...]

Oscar, Oscar
Today on my way to work I passed by this display advertising the upcoming announcement of Oscar nominees tomorrow morning. And in the window was a case FULL of Academy Awards.
It was glorious!

Point-of-View
It’s funny how, when you’re married and walking around in the big city you’re surrounded by people walking around, chatting, drinking coffee, or sight-seeing.
And then when you’re single again and walking around in the big city you’re surrounded by couples walking around, chatting, drinking coffee, or sight-seeing.
Isn’t it weird how your position in life alters [...]

“The Colorado Kid”
I just finished reading “The Colorado Kid” by Stephen King. King had come out a few years ago announcing his retirement but deep down I think all of his fans knew that was never gonna happen. As difficult as the writing process can be, when you have so many stories to tell I think it’s [...]

“Which Lie Did I Tell?”
I just finished reading Which Lie Did I Tell? More Adventures in the Screen Trade by William Goldman. Much like the previous book I read, Truth by Al Franken, it’s one of those books for a select demographic. If you’re into politics and current events, you’ll probably enjoy Truth. If you’re into movies and how [...]

I know the last time was definitely vomit. The first two I’m still not sure of.
This morning on my way to work I was crossing Broadway at 40th Street. As I [...]

Combined with the angle I was approaching, the curvature of the signage, and the signs and posts in front of the building, [...]

The Truth…with jokes (Book Review)
I just finished reading The Truth (with jokes) by Al Franken. I hadn’t read either of his previous books (Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot and Lies…and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them).
I’m not sure why I decided to read this book because I’m really not into politics and it’s a subject that I [...]

The Reading Railroad
I actually did a lot of reading last year. Or at least, more than usual. So I’ve decided to make a late New Year’s Resolution and that is to read more books than I read last year. To the best of my recollection, I read 27 books last year (a little more than two a [...]
