Katie and Brenna Do Things: Days 28 & 29 (Katie) →
katieandbrennadothings:
Home stretch, y’all. Here we go.
Day 28: Saw a staged reading of my friend Stuart’s new play, called Cocopelli: A Fairytale For Adults. A very cool retelling of the Cocopelli myth, with a surly, antisocial jazz musician as the main character. I’m not sure I liked the ending, but there’s always the revision process.
Day 29: I have already accomplished my new thing so...

Greatest story ever told.
Interviewer: What kind of a drunk are you?
Amy Poehler: Not a very good one. I'm kind of a puker.
Interviewer: Tell us your best puking story.
Amy Poehler: No!
Interviewer: Second best?
Amy Poehler: OK. I was on my way to a job waiting tables in Chicago, at like 6 AM, really hung over. I was leaning my head against the the subway door because the glass was cold and it felt good on my forehead. When the doors opened, I puked on the platform. Then the doors closed and we sped off.

Day 26: Monday, Monday. Boo on Mondays. What did I do that was new…? Uh. I closed work later than usual (like, half an hour later) and didn’t even mind, because a friend from high school scheduled a job interview at 530 and it ran long? And I like her, so I just let them sit there while I swept and mopped and etc? And then I friended her on Facebook without worrying about...

DETAILS: So, on Parks, the cast always seems to be having a ton of fun.
Adam Scott: You don't have fun at work? You work for Details. You sit around and talk about hot dudes like Channing Tatum. That guy looks like he was sculpted out of ivory. If they made casts of asses to sell at adult stores for people to have sex with, they would use his ass. Sorry for everything I just said.

“should be Caucasian, between ages 15 and 20, who could portray someone ‘underfed...”
– Just a reminder that casting directors asked only white people to apply for the role of Katniss Everdeen. A role of an “olive-skinned” woman, “caucasian” or otherwise. (via feministfilm)

24: Yet another new beer. Damn, I should go back and see how many new beers I’ve tried this month. In any case, this one was called the Smuttynose Star Island Single.
Smuttynose Star Island Single.
HOW COULD I NOT ORDER THAT?!
25: WHOA this was a long-ass day. Had a matinee of Grounds For Dismissal, and it was wonderful—tried some new things out on the stage, new ways...

Everyone’s all “Oooh, Hunger Games opened! Mad Men starts today! Game of Thrones is coming back!”
Listen.
The only pop culture thing that we all need to be counting down is the fact that in 10 days, we can watch Billy Zane steal a baby. On the big screen. IN 3D.
Have you ever seen Billy Zane be derisive to Picasso in 3D? No.
Have you ever seen Billy Zane sneer at...

Day 23: I saw the Hunger Games with some old college friends of mine! (Actually, some friends of mine who I knew in college, but didn’t actually become friends with until after I graduated-NY is weird like that.) I saw it at a GIANT theater on the UWS that I’ve never been to before, and I really enjoyed it.
One of my friends snuck in a giant...

Remember: you are a blank page no amount of shopping can cure. One night you go out in tassels and the next like a nun, but we still love you. Can’t hold your liquor? Never mind. Little angel, little bombthrower— where would our malls be without you? And the readings you give in your…

katieandbrennadothings:
AGH I’m getting really bad about slacking on this. SORRY Y’ALL.
Day 18: Had an audition for the Weathervane Playhouse in Akron, where I’ve never been. They’re doing August: Osage County, which I’ve never read, but it won the Pulitzer, and really, there’s only one role I’m up for (the Native American housekeeper). Won’t know if I’ve been cast until next week, but I felt...

It’s getting to the point where I’m waiting so long to post that I’m forgetting what I did on the earlier days. Don’t worry about it!
Day 18-I actually had the day off! (This was my only day off in the entirety of the month of March, so it’s a big deal for me). I spent it sleeping in (of course) and shopping (obviously). I got four new tops, which I desperately needed,...

okay, you know i want from cbs’s sherlock holmes, and am content to dream of if the opposite is all i’ll get?

i want all of those things and the sherlock adaptation was even on my radar. dammit.

Parks Department Event Cancellations--by Donna... →
The Parks Department would like to apologize for the events it has canceled on you in the past month. For example, just off the top of my head, there was an official Parks Department “meeting” that was supposed to occur last week between Parks employee Donna Meagle and a certain fireman named Marcus. However, it would also like to remind you that the Parks Department has a life, and...

Day 16: Went to the Winking Lizard with the cast (again). Tried another new beer—I’m pretty sure it was called Left Coast Tangerine Wheat? Maybe? In any case, it was delish. Kind of like Blue Moon, but a little spicier and with more of a kick. Tangeriney.
Day 17: WELP, IT’S FINISHED. MY EIGHTY-FIVE PAGE BEHEMOTH OF A PLAY. BABY SIMON AND THE LONG VOYAGE ACROSS THE SEA IS...

the-low-cal-calzone-zone:
A year ago, when Katie and I were living together, we went through a phase where we liked to bake pies. I’m talking about going through literally two pies a week. (I believe our record was having four pies in the fridge at one time. They didn’t last long.) As such, we are experts at pie making. Here is our recipe for delicious pie:
1. Sit around a table with some...

My new things clearly do not include posting on this every day.
Day 11-I went to a restaurant (not new and different, but it’s this 24 hour restaurant that still manages to be classy, and it’s right by my apartment, and the food is DELICIOUS, and the mimosas that they serve at brunch should be criminalized, they’re so good. But I digress)....

My new thing actually happened quite early on in the day, but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to share, but then I realized that I should.
Backstory: So I’m living at home right now, & when I’m at home, I go to church with my mom every Sunday morning and sing in the choir. My views on religion & God & Jesus are waaaaay too complicated for this blog (mainly because...
