This post is IDENTICAL to the one I posted on my own website, so don’t bother reading both. But please bother reading it! Preferably here!

a) Ticket acquisition process

On Monday afternoon I was on the DAILY SHOW website and saw that they had tickets available for the next day’s show. So I signed up for one, yay.

b) Hurrying up and waiting, questioning

Since they overbook for the show, they recommend that you arrive between 3:30 and 4, so I decided to get there at 3. I had planned to leave at 2 and take the m31 bus. I hopstopped it and everything. But of course I didn’t get in the shower until 1:52 pm, giving me 8 minutes of prep time. So I was faced with a dilemma (making me a dulcarnon, for those of you reading Reading the OED, addressed later). Should I run wet-headed and un-made-up for the bus? I mean does it REALLY matter what I look like? I’m not gonna be on TV. OR should I be wasteful and take a cab so I can put my face on? Well, I chose the latter option, and even went so far as to apply the Pink Lipstick. The Pink Lipstick is one of those multi-step lip painting devices where you apply the color, wait for it to set, and then put the gloss over it. And the Pink Lipstick is seriously bright. The actual color is Rosestone, but I think it should be called Electric Magenta. When I am wearing it, I’m pretty sure you can see my lips on Google Earth.

Sounds clownish and unattractive, right? Well, the joke’s on you, Pink Lipstick skeptics. I am 60% certain that the reason that the Pink Lipstick is the reason why Jon Stewart called on me to answer a question during the brief pre-show Q & A…

I don’t know that I can get on board with this look. Now, I’m going to assume that the headpiece is just for fashion show drama (I pray…), but I am frightened by how frequently I’ve been seeing these pants. Who looks good in these?

I really hope he has misconstrued the meaning of the word “literally” in this interview. Otherwise, it must have been really uncomfortable for the writer…

This not a recap. It’s just a diatribe. (Hey! I get it now, Lifetime! good one) I am all kinds of worked up about this episode. My emotions ran the gamut from irritated to vociferously irritated to frickin gobsmacked. Ron, who used to make me be all blubbery and “best dad EVER except my dad, so, best reality tv dad ever,” now makes me crazy. Read more…

Lessons from the Big Apple. Melissa can feel free to add. Since she lives there, I think she probably learns a lot.

1. On Taxi TV, do NOT press and hold. Just tap. Regis Philbin says so.
2. The Anchor is a great place…if you want to get smooshed and like the thrill of suffocation.
3. Cherry pancakes from 3 Star diner are pancakes with pie filling. Rich, gooey pie filling.
4. My sister travels with an audio splitter in her purse, in case anyone needs to hear a song or watch a video on her Ipod Touch. She’s big on sharing. Read more…
