You know how I do.
I decided to change things up a little in 2010 and got a new haircut. It’s kinda like a grown-up haircut. Please excuse how exhausted I look in the picture. I have been sick with a bad cold all week long.
Jay keeps making fun of me (sad smiley face) but I AM SO EXCITED!!!
nuDia.tv is#19 in the Video section for Comedy on iTunes! We FINALLY got approved by the iTunes Store today, just in time for our Fall Launch.
Aaaannndd as of right now, #41 over both Audio and Video categories in Comedy! Hooray!!!
I’m so excited and I don’t even have a show premiering on there until Friday, which is sure to be just as awkward and painful as you all remember :D To subscribe to nuDia.tv on iTunes, you can search “Nudia,” “Nudia.tv” or “Jay and Jack” on iTunes OR you can just go here: http://bit.ly/3kMpyE.
Jay and I are seeing David Cross tomorrow night. OH! And I have the video all converted, I just need to upload it - song videos from the Rob Thomas concert in Cary, NC last Monday night, September 28, 2009. I’ve kinda slacked because I also have all the video from the No Doubt concert back on June 8, 2009 on my computer that I compressed to a smaller file but never uploaded because I suck.
The good news is that I actually did edit and upload a brand new show from me on nuDia.tv, which is a NuNews interview series. The first one, which will premiere either Friday Oct 9 or Sunday Oct 11 (we haven’t decided yet), will be an interview with the awesome dudes who do the “John Locke Rap” on YouTube. Stay tuned 
Okay time for bed. I have to be at work wicked early tomorrow. And I need some new YuBlog.org submissions, so if you have anything, please email YuBlog.org@gmail.com otherwise it’ll be my take on David Letterman being a cheating pig (please someone else do that one lol) or my absolute JOY on the Sweet Valley High series becoming a major motion picture written by Diablo Cody. So yeah. You’re funeral.
P.S. Alice, you rock my socks yet again. Thank you
Happy February 1! Welcome to my snazzy new super duper website. The lovely and talented Alice has been helping me out a lot with everything on here and we’re not even done yet :) All my former posts from the old blog are still here. Blah blah blah.
I’m exhausted because I got home at like 3:30am last night. Pookie (Amanda C) & I went to see Michael Ian Black do stand up last night at Caroline’s comedy club in Times Square. Afterwards, we met up with Anthony, my sister Katelyn & Jeremiah #2. It was actually really fun. :) I had just missed the train by the time I got back to Penn and had to wait an extra 45 minutes, so naturally I decided to angrily eat pizza loaded with garlic at 1:30am while waiting for the train. That’s the one thing I will not miss about Long Island: being a slave to the damn train schedule. Gawd, I miss the subway system. Raleigh should build one, stat.
Superbowl time soon. How sick nasty is this snack stadium? The original post about it, as well as instructions on how to make it, can be found here: http://www.holytaco.com/ultimate-super-bowl-snack-stadium. Even knowing this…
…it still seems as though it’d be worth it…
Thank you, come again! And stay tuned, cause Jay & I have a surprise planned for everyone sometime later this week…
But anyways, stay tuned within the next few days while stuff gets figured out. And then stay tuned within the next few weeks because I’ve got some other new stuff I’m working on too. Lots of change: new state to live in, new personal website, have to find a new job, who knows what else is in store? haha, the possibilities are endless but hopefully all good things.
Oh P.S. Jay & I watched The X-Files: I Want to Believe last night. I’ve heard lots of people just trash talk it or give generally negative reviews on it & I have to weigh in. I agree with Jana’s opinion: it would have been way better as a TV movie rather than a motion picture. The supernatural element was weak & the plot wasn’t strong enough to carry a movie. I loved having all the characters back (Yaaaaaay Skinner!), but it reminded me of a stronger episode of Fringe & a weaker (not weakest) episode of The X-Files. Also, isn’t pedophile priests soooo 2006?
I’m off to do errands & see Michael Ian Black with my Pookie in NYC tonight. I’ll leave you with Strider to say peace out to this blog:
I’m moving to Raleigh in the middle of February!
My last day of work is February 4 (a Wednesday) and my birthday is Sunday, February 8. I also found out as I got home tonight that Brian & Bobby got tickets to see “The Daily Show” on February 9, so I am going to go with them and then drive down to Raleigh that week and try to find a job, etc. I’ll couch hop with Jay and Sara & TJ and who knows maybe Clif’ll let me crash for a night. At least the slumber party will distract me from the absolute terror I have about finding a job haha. I told my bosses at work and although I was scared to do it, I was really more just sad in general. It’s a nice place to work and they’re really good bosses and I like the people I work with so it’s kinda like I’d be losing more friends.
But anyway.
I’m really excited and really scared. I’m excited because I think that it’ll be a great new chapter of my life but I’m scared about finding a new job. I accepted back in 2007 when I decided that if it came to it, I’d be the one to move that it would mostly mean giving up 90% chances of ever having a job in the fields that I have my degree in (Communications with focuses in Journalism & PR as well as a minor in English & Theatre). I worry too much and I think too much. And nothing is or will EVER be as beautiful as New York City and that’s a fact. BUT I like Raleigh and even though it’s clear that I will really want to end up back in NY someday, I cannot wait to start a new life there.
I’m just going to miss my friends. I’ll miss Cassidy (bitch moved back from North Carolina as I was moving there), Tricia, Julia, Amanda, Amanda, Ali, Ian, Brian, Claudio, Randy, Anthony, Joe & Steph, Eddie, Bobby, and everyone around here that I know I’m not mentioning (forgive me). I’ll miss the BTR crew, Annie & Jeff & Max & Maia and all of our mid-day margaritas. I’ll miss Yankee games with Angri & Sabella & Storey. I’ll miss my dog Strider. But most importantly I’ll miss my family: my parents, sisters, grandparents, aunt, uncle, cousin. Just as way excited as I am to move, I’m just as sad that I won’t get to see them whenever I want to anymore. I know that this post sounds somewhat shaky but I made this decision with both my heart and my head and I’m certain that it’s the right one.
It’s gonna be a big adjustment and I’m really gonna need a lot of support from all sorts of places.
Oh, and I’m gonna need a job if anyone’s hiring…
This is why I’m so excited about my new, beautiful Macbook, which arrived on Wednesday. Observe my Dell, duct tape/ external webcam/speakers/mic and all next to my pretty new computer. Excuse the doofus who insisted on being a part of the pictures via Skype video.
Bigger is not better.
Observe the external speakers, the duct tape, the ghetto web cam & external headset set up.The next set of pictures exhibit the duct tape, just because it seems that people think I’m being melodramatic when I say my laptop was held together with duct tape:
Band-aid from Jay’s dad, Jack.
Bless your heart if you made it down this far. Now that the computer issue is taken care of, I have to go to Verizon early tomorrow to get my phone fixed. It stopped charging. I bought a new one and it still doesn’t pick up that the charger is plugged in. Boooo. I hope I don’t lose all of my pictures and favorite texts. That would be sad…
For all my Lost fan friends, this may be the funniest thing I heard all week:
Anyway, I didn’t want to leave a sad post like I did yesterday as the last one I did, especially since May 17 is over & I feel much better now AND there’s all sorts of awesome things going on right now.
1. I cut my hair, about 7 inches. I don’t think I look like me at all, but sometimes you just need a change, so I’m glad I did it
2. Amanda Giordano & I are moving into an apartment in Astoria, Queens on June 1. Visitors welcome. Yay, NYC livin’. It’s sort of scary to officially be an “adult” now, but we all know that I’m definitely not going to start acting like one any time soon. Hooray for being broke, but it’ll be worth it…
3. I helped Paul from Barenaked Hurley (the Lost parody band) write his last 2 songs & it was really fun. I stayed up literally all night on Tues so help him finish it, but it was such a blast to be a part of something that awesome. If you’re a Lost fan, go to iTunes & download the Barenaked Hurley podcast feed, because all of his songs are hysterical.
Finally, to all my Marist friends who are graduating - GOOD LUCK! I’m so proud of you guys & I miss you all a lot. I’ll (hopefully) see most of you tomorrow, whenever I get up there (I’m going to Rachel & Will’s grad party). <3
May I have your attention, please?
I’m sure like 3 people actually read this, but if you’re one of those 3 people, then good for you! Here’s the deal: I got a new phone, so I need everyone to send me their numbers again. My old phone is broken so I can’t transfer my phone book over, which is just too bad for me, I guess. Sooooo send away - email, IM, MySpace, Facebook, etc.
Thanks!
Next up: RiffRaff, the movie that Katie & Justen did in summer 2005 (where they met), is being shown at a film festival in Spain soon! Rob Belushi, Katie’s co-star (Jim Belushi’s son), is up for a Best Actor Award. I don’t know a whole lot about the festival (Justen emailed me about it last month, but I forgot a lot of the details, oops) but they’re super psyched about it! Here’s the MySpace page for the movie, there’s more info there. He submitted it to some film festivals in NYC, so if it gets accepted into any them I’m SO going as Katie’s date (she promised). Yay! Their wedding is August 4, so they’ll both be going back to Chicago in July to do the final preparations. Justen also got a part in a Will Ferrell movie; it’s a basketball movie & Justen’s one of the players on the team. Stay tuned.
Finally, the big news! KATIE’S GOING TO BE ON THE OFFICE!!! The episode is “Female Appreciation Day.” Michael Scott (Steve Carrell) decides to show the ladies in the office how much he appreciates them & takes them all to the mall to shop & bond. Thinking that it’s what girls do, he takes them into Victoria’s Secret. Enter dear little Kathleen O. She plays one of the workers at VS. No lines but she got to hang around with Jenna Fischer (Pam) & Phyllis Smith (Phyllis) on set & told me that they were beyond nice! She also said that Steve Carrell joked around a lot on set. I’m so incredibly bitter & jealous right now, but incredibly proud & happy for her!
Come on, Katie. Hurry up & get famous so I can make money off of you, selling incriminating pictures & telling your secrets for your E! True Hollywood Story! And after those AWFUL pictures you put of me on your MySpace, I’d say that profiting off of your talent is fair game…
