‘Ceci n’est pas Medium story’

silliness, craziness, wildness, whateverness — I like trying to talk to the uber drivers we’ve had on this trip. Any uber driver really. Especially when they speak a different language. I don’t want them to crash of course. You can’t bombard them with questions but it’s nice to try to find something to say besides…

This is me talking to my finger:

inspired by Bob Newhart’s imaginary convos on the phone — Dear finger, I’m sorry you put up with so much stuff. You have to go into some pretty gross places. I’m sorry about that. You are very forgiving. It’s not all bad. I know I dip you into soft things like whipped cream and cool water from the ocean. I…

Sometimes you just meet someone who is pure ‘nice’

Earlier today in Etampes, France, I had been walking by a tabac, which is like a little French convenience store. I saw some girls hanging out in front and so I went in to get some chocolate. Immediately the man looked at me and smiled. I smiled back. He was…

pointless, boring, pedantic, mundane, [insert synonym of your choice here) details from my sitting-alone-with-my-head-in-my-hands-at-kitchen-table-sort-of-life to make your life a tastier, morselier treat

also, the real reason i do standup — — the real reason i do standup is because in REAL life nobody ever lets me finish a sentence so at least onstage i have a mic and can potentially be louder than everyone else if i have to. i’m not saying i would be MEAN about it. …

the world is falling apart and nothing i write is ever relevant but i write it anyway for the sake of entertaining myself until the next big disaster in the news…..

so after that pleasant introduction, here is my interior monologue every time i go up to order a cup of coffee: me — i’m going to smile and be pleasant and not demanding because so many people are demanding. i’m going to be easy on this person and just order a…

You Know That Feeling?

Can anyone relate to these ridiculously specific feelings? — You know that feeling of running into some guy you know from work but you’re not sure if he’s married and you kinda don’t really care because you’re not really into him but you end up having a nice conversation and you think “maybe this IS the guy I’ve been…

Who cares how to spell ‘narciscistic’ — I’d rather be thinking about myself anyways

a short skit where I talk to myself about, well, myself** — Lara, you need to stop worrying about things. Start enjoying life. Over and over the signs are there. People living in skoolies are telling you how easy it is to get one and hit the road. You see cute little backdoors in alleys reminding you how you wanted to convert…
