I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What an amatuer.

Oh, she's a total tyro. That's why it's so fun.

Everyone should take lessons in niceness from msbelle.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"That's really cold. If the boss asks were I am, tell her I'm in the ladies', crying."

Hee!

Some kid on the Price Is Right just bid 420. Har.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

in all sorts of Murphy's Law-iness, today my office heat is mysteriously not on. I am comfortable right now, but fear that by this afternoon I will be chilly. cannot win for losing.

My office is the same way. It is usually too warm, so that I want to nap all day, but every once in a while it gets frigid for a few days. It's a running joke in the department to go check the weather in my office.

I can picture msbelle skipping. With pigtails.

So Jesse, you practicing your guess-the-price-without-looking-at-the-pricetag skills?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Can you share the link? When I was in Montreal, as many women would workshop as men, but a teeny percentage of them ever made it past an audition. They were so tense and self-conscious, in comparison to most of the guys. The class clown tradition just didn't seem have been one they prepared with.

[link] I buy some of the premise: so many more men are comically talented or employed in the comedy business because there's more incentive for them to be funny adolescents. But much about it irritates me. Starting first with the fact that it is painfully unfunny.

And my experience is the same as yours with improv. For every brilliant female improvisor-- Amy Poehler is one of the best, Kristen Schaal will be huge (she's in the CNN commercial with Wolf Blitzer and Paula Zahn), Tina Fey, Amy Sedaris-- there are ten filling out improv group quotas and sucking the air out of every scene they're in.
