I confess to you...

...that the other day I became "One of those people that I hate." But I really, really, really didn't mean to. You have to believe me. 

I was just kind of in my own world, floating around in my head - and I swear to you that I didn't notice that there was someone in one of the bathroom stalls.  And I totally took the stall next to them - even though the ENTIRE bathroom was empty! By the time I realized what I had done, it was too late. 

I thought about hanging around the sinks and apologizing to them when they came out of the stall -  but then it dawned on me: That is a really bad idea.  So I washed my hands as fast as I could, and got the heck out of there. 

Mystery person trying to do your business, whoever you are, I am SO sorry.


Hey - while we're on the subject of bathrooms - what do people think about automatic flushing toilets?  I'm currently loathing them. It could have something to do with the fact that, being 37 weeks pregnant, I'm like a Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon floating around in the stall - and so they flush repeatedly.  I find it insulting and alarming.

All Time Number One Superstar Mom!

So we took a class at the hospital yesterday called "Infant Care."  I was amazed at how many people seem to think they're giving birth at Seattle Grace. Good LORD people! Put down the television remote and pick up a book!


But despite that, I must say that nothing - NOTHING beats the woman in our Birthing class that was not only shocked and horrified to find out that there were muscles in the anus - but was indignant when it became apparent that the rest of the class was not having the same epiphany.  "You all act like you KNEW about this!!"

Now, I always go into any kind of *class* with a bad attitude -- and then come out all pleasantly surprised when I've gleaned interesting information and learned something. 

But I think those years and years of being a nanny in NYC give me an edge - plus, you know - my natural maternal instincts.

Batmanuel Carbonell

So, I wrote three sketches surrounding the final episode of Lost, and of the three - this is my favorite one: My homage to Nestor Carbonell.  The original script had a lot more references - to shows like Century City and stuff, but we cut it down for time.

When we did the live show from Comic-Con, he came to our stage - but since I was the show writer - I was trapped in the truck and couldn't go introduce myself.  What follows is the Honest To God text conversation I had with Jeremy, who produced the Lost interview on our show:

 

 I don't know if he really said thanks twice, but he seems like a really nice guy, so I wouldn't put it past him...

Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle Explained. Sort of.

I had to write sketches to coincide with the final episode of last season's Lost.

Sure, Star Wars came out in 1977 - but otherwise, it's not all it's cracked up to be...
