One of my besties Jesse wrote an article! She is a wonderful writer and even though this is just fluff piece, it is the start of something really big in her life. So proud of her :)
“Vampires sure like it windy.”
– Great line from ‘Scrubs’ (via thatgirldre) YES!!!!!!DRE IS WATCHING SCRUBS!!!!!!! Have you finally converted to the dark side????? You WILL love the Braff.
Juno
Was anyone else completely disturbed by yet sexually attracted to Jason Bateman in this movie? No? No one? Just me then? I suppose desiring an immature pedophile/mediocre musician says a lot about why I’m still single. My exquisite taste in men never ceases to amaze me.
Since hearing about Heath Ledger’s death last week, not a day has gone by where I don’t feel a twinge of sadness for him and his family. I randomly turned the TV on around 2:30am a few nights ago to find 10 Things I Hate About You (which happens to be my favorite teen movie). The minute he was on screen, I nearly cried. Last night, during Daniel Day Lewis’ SAG award speech, I did...
“How romantic!”
– my mother during a scene in Atonement where Kiera Knightley realizes she loves James McAvoy after he just sent her a note that vividly discusses her…ahem…cunt.
Redonk
It is three in the morning. While most people are out partying or sleeping I am awake. I have been sick for 5 days and really should be resting. So why the F am I up right now? Perhaps I’ve just been sleeping too much? Maybe the Diet Dr. Pepper I had at 8pm is coming back to haunt me? Or perhaps it is because I still can’t stop thinking about how scary Javier Bardem was in No Country...
“Happiness is only real when shared.”

Cure for feelin poopie
So I agreed to cat-sit for a friend and expected a mild allergic reaction. I packed up my benedryl and claritin and thought I’d be fine. To my surprise, nothing worked and my allergies have now exploded into a full-blown rhinovirus from hell. To make matters worse it has also come complete with a sinus headache that has left me incapable of working on my thesis. I’m bummed that I am...
THEY SAY IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY!!!!
Well the 20th came and went and I must say I had a fantabulous 25th bday. Major props to my bitches and hos who made an appearance. I love all ya’ll!!! Here is a small sampling of the evening’s hi-jinks…
Me and A Friend discussing "RENT" Closing...
Friend: Can you believe it is finally closing?
Me: I know! It's like a piece of my childhood is fading away.
Friend: Well it isn't really relevant anymore. HIV is still a major issue, but it is so much more treatable.
Me: Yeah plus there is an awkward abundance of flannel on that stage. Not to mention the village isn't exactly "Bohemia" considering most people who live there are paying about 2 grand for a studio the size of the Starbucks bathrooms easily located on each corner.
Friend: So you are saying "Benny" won?
Me: FUCK YEAH! In fact I'm going to write the sequel to Rent...
RENT...STABILIZED
"HIV is under control, but real estate is INSANE!"
Friend: You will burn in hell, I hope you know that.
Me: There are few things in life I am certain of, but I do know that.
WatchUrban Legend ER…so wrong it’s right… — davidfuternick Dave Futernick, why are you in everything on CH? Everyone is thinking it but I’m finally gonna say it…. SLUT!
My brother is hilarious
I fear that I will do this moment no justice and it will end up being one of those “guess you had to be there” things but I have to talk about what just happened. I’m sitting in my room singing “Once Upon a Dream” from the Disney Classic Sleeping Beauty- something that happens often- and I get to the end of the song… “But if I know you I know what...
Latest UTR Bloggage
Small Metal Objects On their website, the Back to Back Theatre is described as making “locally devised, globally relevant and significant theatre.” After seeing Small Metal Objects, I could not agree more. Apparently, Back to Back is Australia’s only theatre company with a full-time ensemble of actors considered to have an intellectual disability. One of their primary functions is...
The Latest UTR Blog
Poetics: a ballet brut The Nature Theater of Oklahoma is undeniably one of the most innovative dance companies in New York. Ok, so they aren’t your average dance company. None of the members would ever be seen in Swan Lake or even at the Martha Graham Dance Center. Yet, somehow, The Nature Theater of Oklahoma’s...
I'M KIND OF A BIG DEAL.
In case you didn’t know that already. Turns out that blog I posted about “Church” on the UTR blog was wildly popular. In fact, I got a facebook message from the playwright/director Young Jean Lee saying the following: “How beautiful! I forwarded it to my whole cast. Thank you so much, Katie!” xoxo yj Yeah I felt pretty cool.
“I do imagine yar, Rebecca. I do imagine yar.”
– Fred Willard as Ron in “Waiting for Guffman”. Echoing in my head at 12:15am for some reason. - JoshRuben I love you Josh. “Hubhub, hubhub”
This is why I'm busy...
Aside from researching my thesis, I’m also a blogger for the Public Theater’s Under the Radar Festival. It is running from January 9th -20th and as a member of the volunteer Press Corps, I am obligated to see and write about the shows. So I thought, since I don’t have time to write random crap here I’ll just repost the blogs I’m writing for them. Maybe it’ll get...
Slight Tumblr Oasis
Hey all. I’m gonna be sort of inconsistent on here over the next couple of weeks. Got A LOT going on but I’ll try to hit this shit once in awhiles. Laterz
He really is Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs...
Not to mention lacking decency. What the hell happened to Sonny the Cuckoo Bird? When did he become an exhibitionist? He started out all conservative, wearing a turtleneck and occasionally getting a little nutty when presented with a bowl of those chocolate puffs. But now?? HE IS OUT OF CONTROL!!! He has completely lost his mind to the point where clothes are a mere formality. Observe the...
WatchThis is why I’m friends with Sam Reich.
My Sister is Ridiculous...
But if you know me then you already know that. Still, on this particular occasion, she went above and beyond. Sunday was my nephew Joe’s christening. And what better way to celebrate the removal of original sin than to have a photographer to super-impose your family into wacky situations? Here are the results….
I Heart Joel McHale
If you aren’t watching The Soup on E! then you aren’t LIVING. Seriously. Check your vitals. I’m concerned. Enjoy the following samples! First… PDiddy was being interviewed on TV and Joel McHale responded to the clip in the following sequence of brilliance: PD: I am the McDonalds of music. Joel: The McDonalds of music? So people only go to your concerts to use the...

WatchThese are my two BFF’s (Sam&Elaine) as Santa and Mrs Claus. This is exactly what their actual relationship is like. It hits a little too close to home.
Angela Lansbury...
There are few people in this world who love and appreciate Angela Lansbury as much as I do. Even as a child I marveled at her ingenuity and crime solving abilities on “Murder She Wrote” (that and she could type perfectly in tune with the opening credit’s music). In retrospect I have become suspicious as to why so many crimes occurred in that one small town and SHE was the only...
