Nerdist @ Meltdown!
I love being part of the Nerdist family, and last night I went to the Nerdist theatre at Meltdown Comics. If you haven’t been there, it’s a great underground comedy spot that has quickly become the comedy scene’s new darling. There were lots of great comics and I even ended up on stage at one point. I was in a dating game bit during Brent Weinbach’s set. He killed and at...
Things That Have Happened Lately
Hey there, people! I haven’t had a chance to blog much in the last week so here’s the cliff notes of my life:
> I worked out at the gym 4 times last week. That’s alway my goal, but I usually only end up going 2-3 times. But I’ll be in Hawaii with Mr. Big next week, so I’m taking my body way too seriously.
> I watched a police take-down outside my agent’s...
Anonymous asked: What is your dayjob?
Actual Conversation with my Agent
I just got some new head shots and the other day we were figuring out which pics to use via email.
ME: These are the pics I like. I think they capture my personality and essence the best. What do you think?
HIM: How much re-touching does your package include?
Sigh.
And yes, I really wrote “essence.” :(

My Top Five Favorite Tweets of ALL TIME
If my Twitter experience was just about me, I wouldn’t follow anyone. But I choose to follow people whom I admire that make me laugh more than anyone in any other medium.
I thought instead of hoarding these little nuggets in my brain, I would share the tweets I consider to be the funniest of all time. And they ARE in order. I also suggest you follow all of these people because they are...
Twaggies illustrated another one of my tweets
You may have to live in a big city to get this one, but I’m glad Twaggies got it.
WatchTHE CUTEST VIDEO I WILL EVER MAKE.
FOR REALS. JUST WATCH.
Jump Ship!
A couple of months ago I did a photo shoot with my friend and awesome photographer, Kenny Armand. Peep the pics and the rest of his work HERE!
I thought Aubrey O’Day was thinner.

Twaggies is an awesome site that illustrates tweets of some of your favorite people. Check out more great cartoons by Twaggies.
It Happened to Jane
There is no question that it is very difficult to get a movie made in Hollywood today. Even to sell a screenplay, studios want high concept ideas. Very rarely does a Juno type film get sold and made by a first time screenwriter. I wish I was a writer in 1959.
Why 1959, you ask? Last night I was searching through my television and saw a Doris Day movie on...

Top 10 Shows?
Sorry I’ve been a little M.I.A. the last 2 weeks… been dealing with some transitions but I will be back to blogging more this week.
So I have a new agent and need YOUR help! I like to blog about crappy audition stories, but the reality is that I’ve been away from the biz for a few years now. But apparently I’m a glutton for punishment because I’m back!
My personal...

Wedding Dress Going Once, Twice, Gone....
I sold my wedding dress this week. I got a pretty good price for it and feel good about the whole thing.
My Grandma argued with me about sentimentality, but how can I be sentimental staring at a garment bag that takes up way too much room? I’m not gonna wear it again and my unborn future daughter will just have to get her own dress and I’m sure she’ll want...
R.I.P. Winnebago Man
To be clear, he didn’t actually die. I just changed the time I go to the gym.
But I will miss our hostile, awkwardly-sexual stare-offs.
HOLY SHITBALLS, I'm on TIME Magazine's Best...
Whew, that was a long title.
Don’t know how it happened, but I’ll take it! As someone who’s had a fair share of rejection, I have to say this feels pretty good. I’m sandwiched between Steve Martin and Seth Meyers. Now if only I could be sandwiched in their bank accounts….
Patton Oswalt has a great joke he told a few years ago where he complains he has reached the age where “Everyone I know is either having babies or getting sober.” That’s kind of where I am, I just never thought those people would be Snooki and The Situation.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Why I Could Never Be on a Reality Show
I have terrible vision, so I constantly wear contacts. Sometimes I bug my eyes out and look to the side very quickly to relieve lens irritation. If I was on a show that constantly recorded me I know I would forget about the cameras and the editors would be screaming, “She’s doing the fucking eye-roll again!”
Mortifying.

The Audition Chronicles 3
One of my first auditions was for a Breast Cancer Awareness public service announcement. The part was placing flowers over a grave, while crying over my dead mother. Because all commercials can’t be happy. But I nailed it.
And I got the part!
I was so excited to finally get to be in a real commercial AND showcase my intense acting talents as well. I would be the Meryl...

LINDSAY LOHAN IS TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OLD.
I’m no plastic surgeon, but I’ve lived in L.A. long enough to spot someone who’s had injectables.
Obviously she’s no Heidi Montag, but it makes me a little sad when someone so young and already pretty unnecessarily starts messing with their face.
