IT IS IT Comedy Show at Pianos tonight.
I came for my super-star friend Elliott Kalan.
I stay for a great set by Paul F Tompkins (after all these years of swooning over his three-piece suits and deadpan delivery on Best Week Ever, I finally see him in person without even realizing he’s on the bill) and the very tall, charming, man of a 1,000 expressions Pete Holmes (the most I have ever laughed for an end-of-the-show comedian).

Working as a receptionist this week!
Ordinarily I wouldn’t be so excited about answering phones, but after such an extensive stretch of restless unemployment, I’m psyched to be an office again. Coffee stains, time-sheets, and dropped calls.. oh, how I’ve missed you.

I have found the website for me. It’s a contemporary Embroidery and Needlecraft blog.
It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for and can’t believe I’ve only now discovered it.
Some interesting artists I’ve discovered via Mr. X:
Megan Whitmarsh
Claire Coles
Emily Eibel
Richard Saja
and, finally,
Cross Stitch Graffiti

I wish Netflix had a shuffle mode, where one out of each 3 DVDs I receive was a surprise—a random DVD from my 500-movie queue. I am tired of shuffling that stuff on my own; I can only surprise myself so many times!
Got my filling yesterday at a nice, clean, shiny little dentist’s office in Bay Ridge.
It was quick, painless, and relatively inexpensive for someone who is uninsured.
Thought about the thousands of dollars that have been invested in my mouth—braces, implants, half a dozen fillings.
Resolved to floss more regularly.

Went to a grimy little dentist’s office. Waited for an hour. Discovered that the filling will cost 200$. Got frantic. Felt like crying. Left.
Decided that if I must spend hundreds of dollars on a filling, I may as well go to a nice, clean office of the dentist near my apartment.
