SO.  I'd been working on a very important, heartfelt blog about my feelings on the Iraq war for the past three days, but just as I was about to post it yesterday evening my computer froze and I lost everything.  (Oh, well!  It was very heavy and you probably didn't want to read it anyway.)

The moral of this story is that I am in desperate need of a new computer.  I could complain about it for hours--but I'm just not going to.  

In other news, I just signed up to take a super intensive improv and comedy writing workshop at The Second City in Chicago.  It takes place over three very long days in October (and covers three 8-week sessions of material) and I couldn't be more thrilled!  I've been wishing I could study there ever since I first learned what Saturday Night Live was.  I am SUPER PUMPED.
