I just spent the past week ploughing through books and plays. T.S. Eliot and Harold Pinter have conspired to melt my brain. So, to counter that effect I needed to spout off on everything that is the opposite of book learning.

Dear Dan Pinese,

First, recycled blog materials are the new shabby chic of actual humour production.
Second, yesterday i recieved a somewhat frantic and apologetic email from this woman:

That's right, Ivonna Cadaver from Macabre Theatre. Apparently I did actually win that autographed photo in the middle of the night this summer for my horror trivia knowledge and now I can finally recieve it after month's wait. Watching cable access pays off. Willie Nelson tickets and girlie photos are all a youth needs in his summerings. My boyfriend Anderson Cooper finally got a blog. Again, he astounds me with his non-chalant(e) attitude about injecting his personal life/weird opinions into politico-news style blogging. I think this made me realize that his original news style was almost just someone talking out a blog to me. But how can you blog on a blog? Blogblogblogblog.
Lisa loeb...we love it when you showed your ass on t.v. Hell, it became a pretty sweet meme for a while there. But then you get your , albeit sweet, rack out there less than a week later? Not even Mizrahi can save your thonged ass from that meme foul.You went from wicked awesome to pathetic in like 3 days! You were my MSN picture Loeb! you had no right to ruin that sacred trust. I thought, "hey, I can leave, I can leave." Oh, but now I know that I was wrong, 'cause I missed you.

Today Oprah really stepped up. She must have said "with great power comes great responsibility" about 5 times while talking to Dave Chapelle. She is the ghostly Uncle Ben to his Peter Parker. Chapelle though I thought was pretty interesting always walking the line between paranoid crazy and sympathetic. Between funny and crying sickly looking dude. The fact that he held Oprah's hand for most of the interview though...thats what got me....

still processing.

" I bought the children's and adult versions of Harry Potter to see if there's any difference between the texts."

Oh, and on a final comedy note Graham Linehan has a new show The IT Crowd with two episodes online. Linehan is behind the pretty funny show "Father Ted" and , my favorite show of all time "Black Books". His style tends to involve terrible and/or poorly functioning characters who come across a problem and just by acting the same or terribler and a series of unbelievable circumstances they come out of it fine. It sounds not funny but it's the opposite. All i can say is "Sometimes I get a hot ear".

ahh much better
