Comedeeeee

Arright arright arright.  I get it.  32's the new 24, only wiser and better and more self-aware and cooler and cuter and all the rest of it.  So's I kicked off this year by giving a workshop on what the heck it is I do for a living.  9-5.  So's I got a lot of birthday shout outs.  So's I had dindin with my moms.  And my sister.  'Spose life is pretty good.

IT'S ON THE UPANDUP,  uppannnup.  Get your motor running...

Head out on the highway!

I don't even have much time to think about the impending trip to New York City happening this Friday.  By the grace of the Statue of Liberty, we have found kind homes to take us in, and so much laughter will be had at the sketchfest.  That's the New York City Sketch Comedy Festival, in case you haven't heard?  Oh yeah, we, Genius Gold that is, will be performing on the People's Improv Theatre's stage, IN MANHATTAN, on a Saturday night at 10:30.

THIS IS A BIG DEAL!

Who am I kidding?  Nobody.  Or everybody.  Hopefully everybody, but in the laugh at my face way, and not the pretending I'm not totally stoked about this way.

I feel like I could retire from comedy after this weekend and feel like I've lived.  Buuuuut this is just the beginning.  Broadening out.  Expanding horizons.  Reaching out and making connections with the fine people of New York and beyond.  Chicago?  LA?  What's next my friends?  What's next?!

For now, I'll crack open another brew, watch some tube and end my fantastic birthday on a really dull and mundane note... cuz this weekend, we gonna party.

Love you all!!!  Almost all, k most of you.

No but seriously I love you.


Katie

The cow bleeds and I benefit(ed)

I had a really intense dream this morning that I'm still trying to piece together.  I was trying to express myself to a young teacher who'd given out an assignment.  Something about writing a letter to yourself, and I thought it would be important to keep the letter handy, in order to draw from it when needed.  There's way more to it, but I've lost the philosophical reasoning since waking up.  But I will try to honor my dream by writing myself a letter: Dear Katie, I think it's pretty safe to say you had a good week.  More than that, you had a great week.  A fun week.  A crazy, burn-the-candle-at-both-ends kind of week. Enough's enough.  Time for a shifting of gears.  Time for a detox. Jae Steele invited you to do a liver cleanse that started one week ago.  Do it.  It's 2 weeks long and totally reasonable.  No refined sugars, no coffee, no alcohol and no dairy.  2 weeks.  You can do it girl.  Challenge yourself to do the vegan thang like you've bee

I wonder if people, as adults, still ignore the people they have crushes on, just like in grade 5.  My first boyfriend and I, let's call him Matt, didn't even talk.   We decided to become boyfriend and girlfriend after his friend Robert asked me out for him.  I'm still not sure if we ever broke up.  We just didn't talk.  We had spent the weekend hanging out with neighborhood kids in Saint-Bruno, building a treehouse-fort in what I remember to be a big empty piece of land, and that Monday Robert asked me out.  For Matt.  I'm sure that space is covered in duplexes and model homes by now.  But there was one tree in an open area that we worked on.  I remember collecting debris with Matt while my heart was fluttering like nuts. Any excuse to follow him.  My stomach was a squishee machine and I'd blush when he looked at me and I'd laugh at all his jokes.  I've always been a mess when I like someone.  Thank God my acting skills compensate for the most part.   I

Popcorn Farts

-
Seems like an awkward way to meet someone, doesn't it?  Over a fart. After the awesome show I went to last night, which I will tell you all about later, I went to an awesome party featuring bands, ponies, and a pie-eating contest.  Yes, I said ponies.  There were two of them. Anyway I was watching one of the bands play some rockabilly in the living room, when someone let it rip, something fierce. And there were enough people to blame it on, but I made eye contact with the guy standing next to me and I said, "Someone's just making popcorn."  He laughed and blamed me and then walked away.  Later I saw him outside and the blame continued. I honestly thought someone had made popcorn, but the culprit later admitted it to me when he let one go again.  How much popcorn does one man have to eat to make it stink like that?! Drew and I hit it off but I guess he could never get past the thought that my farts could smell so bad, I later saw him hitting on another lady, wh
