Everything is wrong with this?

…or is it so wrong that it came around the bend and is now completely right.

Here is a screenshot from the documentary THIS EMOTIONAL LIFE, in which cartoonist Roz Chast appears to have been amputated below the waist. I will be discussing this image at length in the special episode of How Was Your Week that will be coming out later today called HOW WAS YOUR STORM. Thank you.

#HWYW Listener Marrilee Wilson, who always emails me with the subject header “Greetings from a Black Woman in Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada,” sent me this incredible photo of her posing with Tuxedo Stan, the cat running for mayor of Halifax. Please read more about Stanley’s campaign here, and follow Marrilee on Twitter.

WILSON/STAN ‘12

I tweeted that Tawny Kitaen was clearly on a bender after an assload of crazy tweets she made about ... oh, who knows what, and anyway, instead of denying - or even responding - she quietly started following me. BUSTED! I thought you should know. Because it is important.

thatsimportant — Sat, 15 Sep 2012 20:33:08 -0400

Amazing.

I heard NYC was a "great pie town." I'm looking for a great slice, any recommendations? My snack-nest thanks you ahead of time!

thatsimportant — Tue, 04 Sep 2012 13:12:10 -0400

YES! Four and Twenty in Gowanus is my personal favorite.

HWYW Special Minisode: David Rakoff

Here is a special minisode Spoony and I put together after hearing the news that David Rakoff died last night, far too young.

It’s a brief introduction and the full-length interview he and I did in September. Losing David is a huge tragedy. I hope this long-form piece gives some comfort, or at least more time with him.

Note: the photo credit of David as Hotchkiss the butler from WASP COVE, the play I wrote with Rachel Shukert, is by Kent William Albin.

Goodbye, David. I already miss you so much.

I'm sorry, but there is no way that Jackie F'N Collins is following and re-tweeting Mario Lopez because you didn't put her up to it. (Wait, was that English?) ANYWAY - that has got to be way more gratifying than petting Duke!

thatsimportant — Tue, 07 Aug 2012 17:19:22 -0400

It’s pretty incredible.

More Heroes! More Thanks!
