This weekend felt long, but in a good way. I woke up early Saturday and Sunday to pack in as much as possible, and luckily there's a few things crossed off my list for this week.

Friday night I got margaritas with Matt and Lindy and we worked on our show while I got very drunk very quickly. I didn't even mean to get drunk, but when I was exactly two margaritas deep I started getting giggly and kind of sloppy. Casey Wilson talked about what happens after two "margaroos" on her Funny or Die blog and Matty and Lindy were two of the friends mentioned in her story. They have passed down to me the true power of margaroos... Seriously, don't have that third 'roo. By the time I got home at 9, I was completely plastered. I was passed out by 10.

Saturday morning I woke up to film a sketch for Channel 101 with Kendall. We did bit parts for my friend Jim's sketch series "Making Mistakes". After that we came back to my house and filled up a couple hours with hula hooping, fetch with Wagandstuff and filming. Kendall and I did a Steve Aoki/Cory Kennedy bit for the Monday To Do List. Granted, they are both kind of obscure for the mainstream population, but I hope it is funny to people who don't even know who they are.  After that I had improv followed by a night out on the town.

This morning I started the day with the news that I had been selected to perform in Worst Laid Plans this coming Friday at UCB. I am SO excited to be doing the show and although I normally would blush at the subject matter (I can be surprisingly prudish about certain types of sex talk. It's the former Catholic in me...), I've seen this show before and laughed the whole way through. Obviously I would want to be a part of that. I also started my new improv class today. The class actually started last week, but I had to miss it due to the MTV Movie Awards. My class is HUGE but I'm pretty blown away by how talented everyone is, the ladies in particular. Ever since I got back I've been catching up with phone calls and making videos for the week...

Now I'm going to go pass out and do the whole "work week" thing all over again...

Last night Ed and I went to a gay mixer Downtown. We saw our beloved Sergio. An angry gay man yelled at me because supposedly the website I work for said something shitty about one of his friends once or something.

Then we got mediocre Chinese food.

and yes, i ate with them after i put them all over my face

After that we went back to Hollywood and as we were driving over a hill Ed was all "BACK IT UP!" and we reversed on the incline to see the most beautiful view of Los Angeles I think I've ever seen at night. I had to make a video to mark the occasion. It didn't really come out well, but the audio is there for you to enjoy:

This morning I woke up early to go shoot a sketch with my friends Brian and Carlos from UCB. We filmed it at Joseph's in Hollywood. For all of you who aren't aware, Joseph's was the meeting spot for a one Miss Britney Spears and a one Mr. Kevin Elizabeth Federline. Here are the pictures from the shoot:

Ed and I are graduating from our 201 class tomorrow. You can come see the show if you want (even if you don't really know me! It might be fun to just go watch some improv! No one will know you're one of my internet stalkers-- not even me!)

It's at the UCB on Franklin. It's at 6:30 and it's $5 at the door.

I've been taking this whole improv thing pretty seriously and Ed and I already started our 301 class last week. I went to shows almost every night this week (except Wednesday) to keep my mind sharp and my funny on point. Ed had a really busy work week and could only see the Monday shows. This is what he said about it on the phone this AM:

"I didn't have time to go to that show last night but I wanted to do something, so I watched the Whoopi Goldberg Biography on A&E"

BRILLO.

See you there, maybes?

Saturdays are about coffee and Wagandstuff and improv and shopping and lunching and napping and reading and getting drunk. Saturdays are kind of the best.
