Great Moments in Kevin History, 1/30/10

Called me over, while I was hungry and cleaning, to his apartment, where he had a SURPRISE Five Guys burger and an episode of The Office waiting for me.
Finished checking his e-mail and handed me his laptop with the Tumblr window already open.
Left an episode of Wizards of Waverly Place on for a few seconds longer than I think his natural inclination would have...
I am doing a celebratory no-pants dance and WHY IS...
Copious ice cream will have to substitute.
Holy Crap

Re: Pieces of Ribbon Too Small to Use
My Great Uncle John was my maternal grandmother’s brother-in-law, and the first of my grandparents to die, passing away peacefully six years ago. I didn’t know him very well because we didn’t visit them very often; when we did, he was always in the same place: seemingly asleep in one of the La-Z-Boys in the den. (Incidentally, my memory of him is inextricably linked to...
Thanks, y'all.

I was totally shocked by the message. He isn’t even talking to me and all of the sudden he gets to have an opinion on my photo? It’s just so uncharacteristic of him to be petty and gross like that. FUCK THAT NOISE.

I hate your facebook picture so much. Its flat and boring. I had to fix it. Sorry. It bothers me so much.”

Ida Maria – I Like You So...
I just woke up from a dream in which Katie was auditioning for this play today by doing a soft shoe. Her shoes were teal green and she had decided to forgo accompanying music. When the director interrupted her and asked her to leave (sorry!) she huffed and said “Well that was called Christopher Walken.”
Days that start with someone making you chocolate...
But if they do, it’s okay for them to end at 10 pm.
A Little Help From My Friends
I have an audition on Saturday for which I have to prepare, in addition to sides for Pauletta, the French senator, a “2-3 minute dance that represents how you most love to express yourself in movement”.
Naturally I love this assignment. But I need help choosing music to which to set this. I think my personal movement style can be summed up as “Mammy Yokum auditions for...

When husbands and wives not only co-work but try to co-homemake, as post-feminist and well-intentioned as it is, out goes the clear delineation of spheres, out goes the calm of unquestioned authority, and of course out goes the gratitude.
This article left a funny taste in my mouth.
It might have been the Manhattans she mentions at the end—those are gross.

I admit it...
…I see a little bit of myself in whatever I see named “Alice”.
I was the only one I knew until I was 14, and the new Alice was in her seventies. She was a secretary in my high school and, incidentally, sang in the choir at my mother’s church. That song “Who the fuck is Alice?” was the first song I ever heard that featured my name. In eighth grade I convinced...

I CANT HEAR THE BEATLES MUSIC >:O

Grown Up Stuff I Haven’t Fully Accepted Yet

One of the nice things about being a student at Acid Wash Skinny Jeans College is that I am allowed to also take courses at Pantsuit College (a women’s school), Wears The Pants College (“Rhymes with Bith”), Pricey Pants College (a cousin of Fancy Pants U.), and Dude, Where’re My Pants? State University of Massachusetts. This is a huge asset, and I really hope to take advantage of it in...

The best thing I’ve been told I’ve said in my sleep (in the middle of typing this, I know exactly how Katie will counter) is “Would you please pass me the large orchestral umbrella?”
The best thing Alice has ever said in her sleep is, without question, “OW THAT LIGHT IS REALLY FUCKING. BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT. IT’S SO FUCKING BRIGHT. AUGH.”
No, actually, the first one...

Jacket woke up at 2:30am, sang the ABCs, applauded herself, whispered ‘yay’, and then went back to sleep.

I received this book in the mail this morning. I think I’m going to go cuddle it like a person who likes puppies cuddles a puppy.
That’s exactly how I reacted when I received this book. Obscure French theatre pedagogy what!
I've Got Time To Tell This Story

She reaches into the breast of her coat and pulls out a doll. She snuggles it into the crook of her arm and wiggles her finger at it, as though it were real. The doll is wearing a bright blue dress. She murmurs a few words to it, keeps it in her arm and reaches back into her coat, into the other breast-side this time. The zipper remains closed from the knees up to...
Adventures in Being Temporarily Forced to Move...
One 30-minute trip to the local grocery store leads to three different, progressively more awkward interactions with people I didn’t want to see:
1. Bumping into the guy who works at the local dump who knows my whole family because he was a regular at the sandwich shop where my siblings worked (also because of the amount of time we spend at the dump).
2. Awkward “Wow has it been that...

I honestly do think that Anderson Cooper’s actions with regards to that Haitian kid are entirely praiseworthy, though like kelsium so astutely pointed out, it would also be nice to see some of the heroic and decent things you know are being done by Haitians too instead of just all this terrible looting of non-essentials like food and water and, god forbid, candles.

This is a list of notable people I have some sort of history with.
Tony Smith - Sculptor. My grandfather’s brother. Is represented by some actor in Pollock, because they were tight IRL and hung out all the time.
Kiki Smith - Artist. Crazy witch lady. My mom’s cousin. We hang.
Bob Costas - Sportscaster. Uncle’s cousin. We had lunch at 30 rock.
Lou Pucci - Actor. Took improv...

Speaking of wasting time…
katiecoyle:
A crazy lady just walked into the computer lab. I describe her as “crazy;” perhaps that’s not fair. She merely felt it necessary to announce that she thinks it’s a good sign that she’s wearing a t-shirt with an illustration of Medusa on it. It’s perfectly acceptable to walk into a room and opine on your own clothing, so I retract my evaluative description of her mental state.

I am watching "Community"
and it is immensely enjoyable.
