Idol Observations
I like Jen Hirsch. I like that she’s singing Adele’s “One and Only,” which I think is underrated. I like Jen’s voice, but she’s no Adele. I don’t know if it’s one of those “she sounded better in the studio” things, but wow, Adele really must be something… It’s so hard to do her songs any semblance of justice, even on a lesser...

The most amazing person that you would never guess worked on the show was [The Hunger Games author] Suzanne Collins. She was the quietest, nicest person. Like having JK Rowling working on your show! -Fun Fact of the Day: Suzanne Collins worked on Clarissa Explains it All! Article here. I used to watch Clarissa on Saturday evenings when I was at my grandmother’s house. She was no fan of...

that "some nights" intro
One last comment: the “bonus” version, with just Nate and Janelle? Gorgeous.  foreignspell: “Some Nights” itself has echoes of “Cecilia,” which oh no, no. (also: nice “99 Red Balloons” reference) foreignspell: It’s very Queen, isn’t it? Like, put me in a poofy dress and let me waltz around the apartment to it.

I had a terrible time with my junior year roommates, but one of them was great at french-braiding my hair into lovely pigtails. I could really use her right now.

A lot of people apparently find it unecessary to give me an area code, when they are giving me a callback number. I can’t just always assume it’s 212, guys. There are 347s and 917s and 646s out there now!

Well
This has been an unexpectedly (internally) emotional evening. I blame the Hunger Games.

ME TOO, and I am proud of them. Also - good show, with BW, Wiig, and Mike Birbiglia, and TRUE STORY, after my prom, we went to Caroline’s and Birbigs was one of the comedians performing that night (and oh god that was almost 10 years ago), so it’s amusing to me that he turned out to be a legitimate comedian.  thestaticinhersmile: Watching Letterman for @butchwalker.

"Dog Days"
David: I get the sense that a great many dogs—the ones that do not clearly have wolves or foxes among their grandparents—were built for fickle, moody, quite probably syphilitic monarchs. Some powdered-up Bourbon king was like “I need something that’s like 220 pounds and looks as glum as I feel right now.” Pete: “Crossbreed me the biggest ribcage you’ve got with the...

YAY
I’ve only read 8 or 9 chapters of “The Hunger Games,” but I just re-watched the trailer, and I can already see little differences and WHY, WHY, WHY. A pink dress? That’s not right!   Also, it’s very hard to read this book, knowing that there are 2 more to go. I want to know what happens NOW, darn it!

-Singing “let me be your star” to potential employers, in my head.  -I have a cold. Ordinarily, it would be only a minor annoyance, but given that the inside of my nose is still kind of messed up, there’s a whole new dimension of suck. -Also, ohmygod, this cold wants to be fed (although I think that’s just an old wives tale). -I would like to go dancing somewhere.  ...
