I wonder if "Sketch Show" is going to be any good? They have some good people on it, but it is an adaption of a British show, so already there's cause for concern. Let's hope it goes amazingly.
I have been so off schedule since coming home from California. Sunday night I couldn't go to sleep until 5 and had to be at my new gig at 9:30 am. Then I came home and crashed at 8 pm. And then woke up at 3:30 am. There's nothing quite like making yourself spaghetti at 4 am, and not because you came home drunk and ravenous.
My TiVo came in the mail!!! But not, sadly, the fancy hand-me-down coffee maker my parents were going to let me have. I dropped it on my foot and ruined it while trying to get it out of a high cabinet. I seem to have a knack for ruining carafes and tea kettles. When I was 15, I had my first job at a donut shop, and I used to have to clean the coffee pots when we closed. I'd have to put Comet & ice cubes in them, then swirl it all around. Not knowing much about proper dish cleaning or, for that matter, basic science, I'd then rinse the glass pots out in scalding hot water, causing them to shatter and leaving me with a plastic handle with a few shards of glass dripping from it. This happened numerous times until I was threatened with having the next broken pot being removed from my paycheck. Then I just stopped cleaning them. Another time, while I was housesitting, I put the top half of a Phillipe Stark electric kettle on a stove burner. I was talking on the phone to one of my friends who was rambling on in a droning manner about some actor-ego nonsense when I smelled burning plastic. $250, the entire kettle was replaced and I didn't eat for a week or so. I laid off the tea for a while after that due to bitterness.
After re-reading that section I have to ask myself: Jesus, how do I even manage to (occasionally) get out of bed in the morning?
