Sussy-Time!

Hey, SNL

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 15:27:33 -0800

You’ve made some great casting/writing staff decisions the last couple years. Seriously, way to go. But can we get a black woman in the cast, please? A black woman who could play Whoopi, Oprah, Michelle Obama, Jennifer Hudson, Whitney Houston, NeNe, Maxine Waters, etc.? It’s ridiculous that there are four women in the cast who could conceivably play Sarah McLachlan in a sketch and zero who could play Oprah.

And I’m tired of seeing Kenan have to do drag every single week.

I sometimes wonder what would happen if I lost my improv coaching notebook and a stranger found it. They would probably think it belongs to a crazy person/serial killer. Above, a typical page. My favorite part: “Elektra Complex - when are they going to let me out? Personal hell. 11:02 Emergency room. One’s enough. My body’s absorbing it. My vagina’s so small.”

Oh, nerds.

My sister and I got a building/shack temporarily named after us at Disneyland! If you are there in the next eight weeks, please stop by the Mark Twain Dock and say hi to our pretend mercantile company, the only mercantile company we will ever run together (probably).

I have private dental insurance, for which I pay about $20 out-of-pocket every month. I recently got a cleaning (for the first time in years) that cost $92. My insurance reimbursed me $14. Fourteen dollars!!!! I laughed when I opened the check. Laughed, then cried. Then made plans to move to Denmark.

Grocery Store Musical « Improv Everywhere

I’m super excited with how this one came out. Mad props to Scott Brown and Anthony King for writing the song. (Everyone should buy their new album - the Gutenberg! The Musical! cast recording)

The most hilarious part of the experience for me is that we shot it in a grocery store in Astoria that Anthony, Scott, and I used to shop at all the time when we lived together in an apartment around the corner. Back in 2002, I would have never thought we’d return seven years later to make this ridiculous video.

I have heard this story twice in the last 24 hours and I’ve laughed both times. It’s from the EW cover story about Michael Jackson’s “This Is It” tour that never was.

As the production got under way, it quickly became clear that Jackson’s creative ambitions for the concert were beyond anything he’d ever attempted. With the budget already past $24 million, Jackson told his team he wanted to recreate one of the world’s largest waterfalls on the stage. “I was ready to jump off the balcony of my office,” Phillips says. “We went and met with Michael, and Kenny said, ‘Michael, you’ve got to stop. We’ve got an incredible show, we don’t need any more vignettes.’ Michael said, ‘But Kenny, God channels this through me at night. I can’t sleep because I’m so super-charged.’ Kenny said, ‘But Michael, we have to finish. Can’t God take a vacation?’ Without missing a beat, Michael said, ‘You don’t understand — if I’m not there to receive these ideas, God might give them to Prince.’”

I feel the same way, Tom.

I especially like how the guns are pointed AT the crib. Freeze, baby!

stfuparents:

A few Fun Facts I’ve come to learn about this Nursery FAIL:

1. The guns are not loaded and are locked in the rack.
2. The wife isn’t too keen on the gun placement. For the life of me I’m trying to figure out why.
3. This room is technically the couple’s bedroom. As if that matters. I’m pretty sure the last thing I want to wake up to in the morning is a rack of rifles…but hey, I’m only me!
4. Amanda, the poster, is not Brittany, who couldn’t sleep.
5. I will sleep well tonight knowing Terra and Ashley will never babysit my future children.
6. C’mon, you know I had to.

We were doing a tech rehearsal for a show a couple weeks ago and needed some “wacky thinking music,” because I’d forgotten to bring any. We ended up using this song, because it was on the computer already. I’d never heard it before and I’m not sure who used it in which show or why it was on the computer, but it quickly became my FAVORITE THING EVER. I know I use that expression a lot, but this time I really mean it. Favorite!

Miley Cyrus raps about why she deleted her Twitter account in this delightfully lo-fi and dorktastic video. This kiiiiinda makes me love her a little.

“The other thing that’s really, really good [for polishing silver] are old t-shirts or old underpants. Male underpants. When you’re left with a drawer when your husband runs out on you, you know. Cut ‘em up and use ‘em for polishing silver. Nothing better.”

- Martha Stewart, on yesterday’s show.

Oh, Martha. You are the best.

Senator Franken introduced an amendment to the Defense Appropriations Bill that would punish defense contractors like KBR/Halliburton who try to force employees who have been raped and assaulted on the job into arbitration rather than letting them have their day in court. This is really a must-watch video. Thirty senators, including living fossil John McCain, voted against the amendment. You can find the names of all 30 of those dirtbags here.

Why aren’t we, as a nation, talking about “Lawman,” the new reality show starring Steven Seagal? Here’s the 20 second commercial, which is hilarious. A&E won’t let me embed it, because they know how hilarious it is. Above is the longer trailer, where Steven lets us know this is “for real” and “not a joke.” I beg to differ about one of those claims!
