"You've claimed publicly that the key to comedy is a staffing mix of Harvard people and Chicago improv people. What's the alchemy there?

It's Spock and Kirk. One's visceral and the other's cerebral. They're asocial, but they mix together nicely."

left behind and this gap will perpetually grow and i can't do anything about it and you don't care and i guess that's how this chapter of my life will close.

Mid-week celebratory strawberry cheesecake Yogurtland and crappy Taco Bell. One AP and one final down, one of each to go. I can almost see the Promised Land. Power ballads, Phantom Regiment, and hard studying 'til then

"dreams feel real while we're in them. it's only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange"
this house sure aint a home. can't wait to go back to my mom's after these three weeks. i've fallen into such low standards here.

i can't escape my summer state of mind even though
the winter froze me and the spring has
covered it in daisies because the sun is burning hotter than ever and
i'm overheating and parched with amnesiac nostalgia where i can only
remember everything while feeling everything while
remembering nothing and feeling less and it's almost summer again
but i'm not searching for summer

"hey you guys, don't grow up. wait, actually, don't grow old."
i don't regret anything. because that feeling of running off the floor after trying to murder pete sapadin with my eyes and ready to fight anyone who wanted to mess with us and get between us and cao cao was filled with emotion i've never felt in performance before. because the tears that fell during jeremy's debrief was the most poignant and powerful moment i have ever felt with a group of people that two years ago i would have considered strangers, and now there's more than family, and there's more than love. because that in n out run and that 4x3 with animal fries could not have tasted better knowing that we were riding off into the sunset away from adla's penalty bull. because to hear "we won" half an hour into that bus ride as i was half asleep into john legend's evolver was a moment of ecstasy i'll never forget. because i've never been part of this kind of victory. because of b class beginnings to open class champions. because being part of a cinderella story doesn't happen to everyone. because new doors don't open and perspectives don't change this drastically often. because no night has ever impacted me more than last night.

i love you, '11 palisades drumline. and i'll never thank you enough.
