Like Cleopatra? Marie Antoinette? Beyonce? Beyonce can have whatever she wants, right? She’s had to have made a few bold requests. (Surrogate mom, anyone?)
If I could have whatever I want…
I would write on the wall, any wall, whenever I want. Maybe it’s a thought. Or something funny. Or a…

dealbreaker:
On January 15, 2009, I started a blog with my friend Dave about all the reasons not to date someone. On September 28, 2010, Dealbreaker: The Definitive List of Dating Offenses was released. On March 30, 2013, I got married.

My improv teacher asked us to spend the week thinking about the categories on which we can speak with authority: The Lakers, Living in Chicago, Fashion, etc.
The largest one for me is comedy, which I will not volunteer in class. I don’t see how knowing The State origin story or quoting lines from…
A Real Thing That Happened...
A friend of mine posts a YouTube link on Facebook, with the paraphrased title “Filipinos love Name Lastname”. I click it and watch the following:

Important comedy dialogue.
sitko:

My mother recently came for a week long trip to visit me in Los Angeles. She is the person who helped me develop my comedic sensibilities and is the biggest supporter of what I do out here. So for most of the trip, we just went to improv shows. And it was great.
