Something I said that surprised... me!
I recognize that this is sort of an egotistical post, but I was just gchatting with my twin sister who broke up with her boyfriend recently and I was stuck by the wisdom of the advice I offered her. She has been very down lately and is looking for the answers to her problems in all of the wrong places - alcohol, cigarettes, sleeping with random guys, (even considering plastic surgery!) to...

iamachilles: Winston Thom →
Winston, the long-time lobby doorman at the Training Center building, passed away this week. The UCB office staff found out about his death last night.
The thing I loved about Winston was that he was such a positive presence in our building. He was always smiling and full energy. He always had a…
I had a cigarette with Winston after class a year ago probably - he started telling me...

Recent Text Convo with Boy I Met at Grocery Store
I met a boy at the grocery store a few weeks ago. He went to Stern and seemed normal, and was shopping for teddy grahams for his nieces which I thought was cute. I gave him my phone number, and then what ensued was the most ridiculous text conversation of my life. Now I realize the pictures of his nieces he showed me on his iPhone were probably random little girls on the street and just a way to pick up chicks at the grocery store.
post-script: this guy put his name in my phone as "Awesome Jonathan".
Awesome Jonathan: "So when was it you realized you were in love with me."
Me: "What?"
Awesome Jonathan: "Let's do dinner. What time's good for you, 5 or 6?"
Me: "Isn't that kind of early?"
Awesome Jonathan: "No, that's perfect because we need time to pre-game before we go out."
(I don't respond)
Awesome Jonathan: "Scratch dinner. I'm going to see Paranormal Activities and then we're going out."
(I don't respond the whole night.)
2 days later...
Awesome Jonathan: "I'm deleting you. Bye."
Me: "Sorry, I've just been really busy."
2 days later...
Awesome Jonathan: "What are the chances you're bi-polar."
Me: "?"
Awesome Jonathan: "Wednesday is good for me."
Me: "Okay, where should we go?"
Awesome Jonathan: "A wine bar obviously. Duh."
1 day later...
Me: "Hey Awesome Jonathan, I ran out of my bi-polar meds and have to have a lobotamy so I can't do drinks with you tonight."

katespencer:
This is kind of amazing…Brooklyn Decker talks about how her now-husband Andy Roddick (OMG guys remember Wimbledon?) took her to a UCB show on their first date. I’m hoping it was the Reuben Williams show he came to, when he got drunk and sat behind my dad. Andy Roddick, FTW!

Andy did take me to a UCB show on our first date. I wonder why they call me Brooklyn...

20 Great Dr. Seuss Quotes
iamachilles:
Actually, it’s just 19 quotes. (Numbers 4 and 19 are repeats.) Still awesome, though!
A person’s a person, no matter how small.
You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself, any direction you choose.
Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.
From there to here, and here to there, funny...

Improv, giggle giggle
Yesterday in my 301 with Sylvija Ozols, my very funny scene partner kept riddling off nicknames for butts (i.e. badunk-a-dunk, junk in the trunk, fine behind, etc., etc.) My character was not a “butt guy”, but instead prefered women with big biceps because “at least they had to work for it”. My response was something like:
“I appreciate your affinity for nicknames...
