Moving day

I am moving into my new apartment today and unfortunately I waited until the last minute to do most of my packing. I don't have that many things but I will be finishing my packing all on my lonesome. That's just how we do it in the hood.

I don't live in the hood.

Too much booty

The clothing stores in my neighborhood have mannequins whose butts are a little out of control.

I really like out of control.

Tonight, April 29

The Kevin Murphy show at 7;00. - Mo Pitkins... I think I do comedy and an interview.

Word.

Cool ass jerk move No. 1

Whenever I am at a drugstore and there is a god awful line at the check out counter, I walk back to the photo developing counter and ask them to ring me up for my candybar or whatever.  there's never anybody waiting at that line and the clerk is always doing nothing.

 

In and out quick baby.

Level 2

Saw this band at the sidewalk cafe... I was not disappointed

Final Callback

Tonight is my final callback for the Montreal Comedy festival.  I really want to go , but there is not telling what they want...  Well of course they want funny, but there are quite a few factors that go into their final choice besides that.

 

Ugh... you are just not getting it are you... I'll talk to you later.

 

I love Peppercinis

So , when I was in Pittsburgh, my friend Gab made sure there were Peppercinis in the fridge for me.  This is a video that tells about the discovery.

 

 

 

Tonight I will...

Be at GRANDMAS CANDY BOX at bar none in manhattan.

I am hosting a show with some funny comics in front of a raucus and sometimes drunk crowd.

Right now, I'm drinking coffee.

Soho House

This place is so much fun!

 

I wish it weren't elitest.

My contemporaries

People seem to greet me in several ways based on my appearance on the cover of the Village Voice.

 

FRIENDS

 

 "Hey naked."

 

"Congratulations on the cover!"

 

"Wow... you're pretty naked."

 

"Where's your penis?  Did they airbrush it out?"

 

DOUCHES

 

"Hey village voice."

Robocop?

I hope this car is just the beginning of a technological advance in law enforcement that I can only guess at.

Tonight I will be

raising a glass a SoHo House and some other place before that.

The Village Voice article

My reaction to the Village Voice article is just about entirely positive.  If you haven't checked it out already then you could easily remedy that by going to:

 

http://www.villagevoice.com/nyclife/0717,westhoff,76434,15.html/full

 

I could go on about all the things that I am happy about.  My experience with the writer, the photographer, the editor, and the art director were all great.  They made me look and sound wonderful and all of them are invited to my birthday party.

 

The only problem I really have is that I HATE to have my standup material written out.  You really cant enjoy a song by just reading the lyrics, so how can you expect to get the complete experience from the printed word when something is usually performed?  Others have told me that it comes off nicely, but I stand by the idea that performance is the best way to see those pieces.

Today's The Day

The Village Voice cover with me on the front comes out today.  I have never been on the cover of any major paper or magazine.  One of the editors telle me that the Village Voice is somewhere in between.

 

The writer told me that the editor made some changes with the article that he thought were cool, but maybe not 100% what he would have done.

 

I think to myself, would I change the wording of a few things in exchange for the chance to be on the cover?  Probably not.

 

I myself have nor read the article yet.  I did hear that the use os some adjectives may not be to my liking.  They may want to be alittle more sensational than necessary in spots, but I guess I'll find out soon.

 

I'll write my reactions to is after I read.  The paper is slated to come out tomorrow, but it will be available online later today and one the street by this evening.

Scrabble Me This

One of my friends wanted to play scrabble with me on Saturday and she talked a lot of smack about how good she was.  She said that she was so good that every time she played people would team up against her just to make sure that she would lose.

 

In truth I thought that I was going to be creamed.

 

Oh... how I decimated her.  How she was destroyed.

 

I can't say that I am capable of doing that with everybody, but I guarantee that I won't talk a lot of smack before the game.

Thank you!

To whomever controls the weather @ would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the beautiful shining sun today!

I am even blogging from a phone!

My morning

Hi.

This is Karen

She just can't sit still no matter what you do.

Rice

Before I ate my rice. I made a face with it.

Dancing

Last night I went dancing.  I haven't been in a while.  I forgot how, no matter where you go, there's one or more people in the place that have waited all week to show off their outfit.

 

There was a lady in a miniskirt and fishnets hat was seiously string e suff, such as it was...  oops, wireless keyboard  s  dying iht n as I tye ths s I will ae st fr a bit...

Uh oh

I'm playing poker.

I suck

No Idea

I have no idea what I really want and I have no time to figure it out. This refers to business and pleasure.

On the plus side though, I am developing a new script and I am definite that it is going to be really cool and highly dellable. It takes me a long time to decide on the project that I want to write next cause I generally have a million ideas that all seem good.

For me, the most common way of procrastinating is when I have a different great idea that just 'cant wait'. Speaking of which...

Brother Ali

Please.  Go check out this amazing rhyme sayer.  Brother Ali is so fucking fantastic I want to grab hos and throw them to him.

This is the moment

I was underground in the subway this morning and running late for a production meeting.  I decided that I needed to call because the train was really late.  When one is underground however, you have absolutely no phone service and that meant that I would have to try one of the payphones in the station.

 

I walked up to a couple of people asking for change for a dollar and no one had anything.  The final guy that I approached was a lot of fun.  His eyes lit up ehn I asked for change and then he proceeded to pull almost a pound of quarters, dimes and nickels out of his pocket.

 

This was his moment.

That Was Quick

I was on the set of End Of The Line for about four hours.  Don't look for me in it, I won't be there.

 

To answer your question, yes, it was my choice.

Day 1 on END OF THE LINE

This is my first day on a new movie. I am excited and a little tired. I am tired because I just LOVE karaoke!

Ooh! Look how sci fi the background is!
