This is my roommate, Young. We're both in Diplomat Motel and Whirled News Tonight.

Recently, after a bad show (It happens sometimes, it's improv), I caught Young reading this book. '14,000 Things to be Happy About.'

Young: An ex-girlfriend gave it to me a long time ago.
Me: Does it work?
Young: No. I think she gave it to me to piss me off.

My last blog (A Year in Pictures of Working) had a running bit about including everyone's job title the first time they made an appearance. I'd like to do something along those lines with this blog, but frankly, most performers do a lot of different shows. Too many to mention in the posts themselves. So, I'm going to do some highlights in the comments section.

Oh yikes. I was in Low Sodium for approximately 48 hours, then fired for my "lack of commitment."

Hey Arnie glad you are back! You don't know how comforting it is to have something to look forward to on the internet. The output of zany cat videos on youtube is withering.

I used to intern at IO during Whirled News, so I saw you and Matt Young perform quite often. I just wanted to tell you how much I miss seeing Whirled News, now that I work Saturdays. It's such a solid, funny show. I also think I saw Matt Young in a commercial for RCN or Comcast.
