Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood brought the house down with their improv routine. Featured musicians included Corey Hart and Jessica Mitchell. I was on duty before the show started at the Sony…

A few weeks ago I wrote the following piece for an assignment. In our criticism class we had the chance to comment on the new pack of fall shows.

As you already know, I’m in TV school, learning the tricks of the trade. Over the past couple of weeks, I watched these videos. The first I learned about in class… The second showed up while I was doing research for a project. Both speak volumes about the writing process. Tell your truth–no matter what…

I especially enjoy listening to it while I write. Since Saturday was supposed to be devoted to writing like a motherf*cker I was in my glory. Here are a couple of tracks that made me dance as I typed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyejbXCTC_w I can’t find the studio version of “When I Fall…” on iTunes. I might have…
