Tonight: Please Watch ABC At Nine Thirty(!)
Hello friends. Even though I probably seem like the poster child for unemployment, I do work from time to time, and my most recent job was as a staff writer for Don’t Trust The B- In Apartment 23. It’s premiering TONIGHT at 9:30 on ABC. It’s a fun show, and I got to work on it with my writing partner, Marisa. Also, completely coincidentally, my best bud and longtime comedy cohort Michael Blaiklock costars on it! And if that wasn’t enough, LA comedy scene hero/crazy person Eric Andre is on it too! So, if you know me, or like sketch/improv/stand-up comedy in Los Angeles, those are three reasons to feel compelled to watch the show. 
If you don’t know me, and those names mean nothing to you (yet), it’s also got an amazing cast of funny, amazing people like Krysten Ritten, Dreama Walker, and James Van Der Beek, playing himself! I’m clearly biased, but I happen to think that this show is very funny, and the creators/producers were the nicest people I’ve ever worked for. If you are hiding a Nielsen Box behind your wireless router, watch this show. If you like jokes, watch this show. If you like the idea of a blonde person living with a brown haired person, watch this show. If you like yourself, watch this show.
Do it!

Just Opened A New TextEdit Document

I labeled it:

“Space Bros” (The coolest bros in space)

So, if you had any doubt as to whether I was a real writer or not, this ought to clear it all up for you.

Character Notes: Annie

My writing partner and I are working on a script, and we were asked to come up with some incredibly specific notes for our characters. Backstory, personal history, likes, dislikes, etc. We were told to go into painstaking detain even though we probably wouldn’t be using most of the info in the script. Here are a few of my favorite notes about our protagonist.

  • Once conned her way into a krumping contest and got 3rd place ($400).
  • Favorite App? The one that turns your iphone into a vibrator.
  • Has a Sofia Coppola champagne-in-a-can dispenser in her car.
  • Had a stint where she cut off the ponytails of sleeping indian girls in the international dorm the semester she was enrolled in college and sold them to wigmakers.
  • Once went to Burning Man and forgot to come back from the desert for 2 years.
  • Born with a tail.

This thing is gonna get weird.

We’ve all resigned to the fact that we’re going to be at work all night, and have taken to talking about how the Hamburger Helper glove probably begs the humans in those commercials to fuck him.
“Pleeeeeeeease! I’ve been making noodles aaaaaaaaall day! The least you could do is fuck meeeeeeeeeee!”

I am still at work.

And I’m pretty sure it’s because I bragged on here about getting out two and a half hours early a few weeks ago.

I accept my punishment.

Someone in my office is either DYING to be submitted to Passive Aggressive Notes, or they’re completely miserable. Or both!
