This article hurt, a lot. I don’t even. I don’t even understand. Anything.
I feel sick and I’m try to not cry (in public right now). I am angry and mad and sad and… I don’t know.
While I know this is not about Minnesota (or not just Minnesota), I am going address it anyway. Minnesota is fucking weird. It is such mass of contradictions and values. There is a...
Two reason of the many reasons The Good Wife is a...
• Carrie Preston as Elsbeth Tascioni.
• That Alan Cummings’ ex-wife is Parker Posey and he hooked up with Amy Sedaris.
(Seriously, the casting on The Good Wife is so amazingly superb. If they gave Emmys for casting, it would win hands down.)
ETA: Oh. Apparently the is an award for casting. TGW has been nominated twice. But has not won. Fuck that shit. Emmys, you are dead to me! DEAD!

We would like to pre-warn anyone that takes a date to our show that it’s a high-risk/high-reward scenario. Your date might lose all respect for you and never talk to you again, or you might get married and live happily together until death. Rarely anything in between.

Caitlin, can we get a special edition of WAITING FOR OBAMA: A NIGHT AT THE HALL OF PRESIDENTS?
Driving at night with Steven Patrick
“You know what? I’m really happy tonight. Just driving around in your car with you. Just, I don’t know… happy.”
“Good. I like to hear that. I’m happy too. I really like being with you.”
“Like if, I don’t know, a double decker bus were to smash into this car right now and crushed us, I would be okay with it.”
“What?”
...
halphillips asked: Which Buffy/Angel characters do you think would make the best or worst candidates for president?
Improv Ramblings: Why we ask why and what why...
Justifications are tricky business and I’ve been trying to figure out how to coach them.
So you have scene with some weird/odd/funny. Usually the funny thing is behavior and some actually thing or activity. The activity or thing might be weird it is darn hard to continue to play and to heighten unless it is associated with a behavior. Justification is often how we get to that behavior.
But...
I have an idea for video game. I just need a few...
I have spent time on and off trying to come up with a good iOS app game… because that is what you do, right?
Still no where near anything with the simplicity, addictive quality of say an Angry Birds.
But I have a nifty idea for a massive game inspired by the Stanislaw Lem novel Eden. Problem is that it a bit of the Fallout 3/Elder Scrolls scale. As should be, it is the game I would like to...
So I am discussing The Bachelor with Nicole
Me: I also think the dates aren't that helpful. They should be things like "Go to CostCo on the day before Thanksgiving," "Shopping at IKEA," "Getting a flat tire," "Stuck at the airport overnight," "One of you has horrible intestinal problems"... Stuff like that.
Nicole: Hey. When was the last time I told you that dating you was really fun and optimistic?
Improv Ramblings: Looking for pure 'fun' exercises...
Less of a ramble than a question.
Much of my coaching is pointed and getting better at certain improv skills or giving performers more tools to use. But often I find what I really need is something that allows a team just to have fun. To just play, to find the pure joy of the moment.
So, here it is: What exercises do you love doing or giving teams to do that just lead to fun? Especially when...
