What am I doing this weekend? Tarot and Funerals!

Hey everyone,

So my grandpa died last week, and we finally got his body from Poland, so now we can bury him. He designed the Katyn Memorial at Exchange Place. There was an article about him in The Jersey Journal.

Also, tomorrow I'll be giving out free tarot readings at Balance from 12-5 pm. The catch is you have to buy a calendar. I'll also be telling jokes or reading essays, or whatever else Carla wants me to do.

The best Sarah Palin sketch ever

I know that Sarah Palin is old news, but she has a place in my heart, and here is the best sketch I've ever seen.

I don't think you can really call it a parody or satire, how do you translate humor? Are Little Pequena's antics translatable? Is she or he supposed to be funny in Spanish?

I'll never know. But I do know that I love this video.

High Hats, Doldrums and Beatings to Death

I'm reading some essays from my unpublished manuscript tomorrow at Imagine Atrium, the only bookstore in Jersey City, at 7 pm. I'll bring the wine if you bring the money.

Tonight is my calendar release party and the last BabyHole.

Hey everyone,

Don't be sad that tonight is the last BabyHole of the year. Be happy that you can buy my new calendar!

Tonight, BabyHole will go out with a bang, and maybe you will too.

News and booze!

I went away for a few weeks to visit my boyfriend's family and go on a cruise. It was lots of fun, except when I got sea sick on land for four days and almost threw up in an aquarium. I am so done with touching sting rays.

Then, when I got back last week, blogger was down, and I almost threw up on it too.

Here's what's new with me:

My calendar is almost done and will be sent to the printer tomorrow or Friday.

I'm working on a public access show, as you've seen by the Jersey City videos I've posted. When I finish my calendar, I'll shoot some real sketches (not just Jersey City ones), and the show should be ready in January, and I'll do a screening at a BabyHole. On a side note, book me at your show. I need to push these calendars!

In January, I'll start researching my ghost tour again. If you have a location you'd like me to investigate, let me know. Jersey City Ghost Tour starts in March, when the weather gets nicer. I hope to do a haunted pub crawl too. Let me know if your bar is haunted.

I'm a little entrepreneur!
