after reading.

Andy seems to feel the same way I do!

OK whats with all of the blogging tonight?

I’m watching Jay leno (why?) and finding some of his opening monologue actually funny…huh?

I must not watch enough tv or maybe he is funny for like 5 minutes then it runs out.

No, not the Fey/ Poehler as Palin/Clinton one but this digital short “Space Olympics”

I know its probably not that funny but it CRACKS ME UP!

(Apologies must really get my video player problem figured out)

Busy! Busy!

The last few days have been spent entertaining out of town family, attending National Women’s History Month events, and hanging out with friends.

Yesterday, I met up with the husband’s family and we headed to Union Square. I led us to the fabulous Strand bookstore where I browsed through the Americana and history sections. I finally decided to give up a search for the book I left on the airplane last week and bought some Margaret Atwood books for under $25. I purchased

Cat’s Eye

Oryx and Crake

Wilderness Tips 

I forgot how much I loved going to the Strand and exploring the different shelves. You definitely cannot go in there expecting to buy a certain book but have to be open to the possibilities of what is in store for you.

Today I went to a national women’s history month celebration at the Puck Building in collaboration with the A.I.R. Gallery and the National Women’s History Project. We had a high tea where we celebrated and honored eleven women in the Arts. Full list here.

I went to see my funny friends who’s regular gig is Delusions of Spandex do their improv show Hot for Gym Teacher. Good Stuff! We went out to a wine bar afterward where I managed to spill a glass of $8 Malbec. I went home soon thereafter. I know when to call it a night!

A Study of a comedy show in posters

Filed under: comedy, Arts & Entertainment — Ms. Rose @ 12:36 pm

Or why everyone should really go see Delusions of Spandex, smart comedy by smart (HOTT) women!

And their other posters for past shows so you can get a “feel”

This one was a real departure from their other one featuring spandex.  But I personally like the spandex ones the best.

Cool Comedy by Cool Ladies

Filed under: pop culture, comedy, Arts & Entertainment — Ms. Rose @ 12:45 pm

Last night I went to the parkside lounge to see the first ever Delusions of Spandex show.  Delusions of Spandex is a sketch comedy show hosted by Phaea Crede and Becca Jones, two New York City sketch comedy artists who have been on the scene for a few years now.  Beside being utterly hilarious, the show offered a clever commentary on current events and pop culture.

Some funny things I learned:

  • Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz broke up. (Yes, its funny. Not sure why yet but it is.)
  • Where you throw out your trash is very important in the middle school/ high school popularity hierarchy.
  • Sometimes female Jehova’s Witnesses wear pants.
  • Wearing makeup can only get you so far in life.

It was an awesomely funny night.  Congrats on the first show ladies!

COMEDY WRITTEN AND PERFORMED BY WOMEN RULEZ!
