No one ever cares about these posts, but they're important to me, so I keep making them.

*This is an expression I made up in 2002 while watching the movie Signs.

September Shows

Remember when I blogged? I was all like, "You guys, I boiled down my weekend into 10 bullet points just like Buzzfeed would want! I'm a writer! I swear! I can prove it. I spent $60,000 on an English degree and everything. What is Wordpress?"

Something like that.

Once a week, I look at myself in the mirror and think, "Maybe I should start blogging again." Then, I squeeze all of my blackheads until my face looks rug-burned and I forget why I went into the bathroom in the first place.

Instead of blogging, I've devoted all my ~free~ time to writing down joke ideas in my Notes app. Well thought out premises, like this one:

People* have asked, so here are some places you can find me in September:

Wednesday, September ​7th: 8 pm, Boston Comedy Arts Festival, ImprovBoston, Cambridge.

Saturday, September 10th: 8 pm, Boston Comedy Chicks, Doyle's Cafe, Jamaica Plain.

​Thursday, September ​15th: 9 pm, Stand Up Break In,​ The​ Riot Theater, Jamaica Plain.

​Saturday, September ​24th: 9 pm, Battle Royale, ImprovBoston, Cambridge.

Drunk GOT

If Drunk History ever decides to do a Game of Thrones spinoff, I hope they'll call me.

Albums of 2015

It's that time of year when I tell you about music I like as if you care. I become more and more noncommittal as I get older, so I'm not going to say these are the best albums of 2015, or the only ones I thought were good, but they are the ones that, for better or worse, I listened to the most.

Drake: If You're Reading This It's Too Late


Sufjan Stevens: Carrie & Lowell


The Weeknd: Beauty Behind The Madness


Laura Stevenson: Cocksure


 The Internet: Ego Death


All Dogs: Kicking Every Day


Joey Bada$$: B$.DA.$$


 Marian Hill: Sway


 Kendrick Lamar: To Pimp A Butterfly


Okay, I lied a little bit. I am VERY committed to Lady Lamb. My favorite album of the year is, without a doubt, After:
