don't call it a comeback

she hasn't been in the limelight since the 90's. i didn't even know she was on west wing till she mentioned it. despite her absence from my life, she was INCREDIBLE! i wasn't sure what to expect from her. she herself said that she wasn't a joke writer. she basically just gave commentary on life, her personal life, and on just about everything else.

i think the thing that most surprised me is that i am DATING a blonde, taller, more introverted version of janeane garofalo. why? these are things that janeane says that sara thinks...

1. she hates that rachel ray says "evoo." "don't have the time. too busy."
2. loves ani difranco. says if she were a lesbian, she would sleep with her to up her street cred.
3. hates being disturbed by phone calls and the need for social gatherings.
4. when questioned about not liking a particular album, her friends think "you just don't get it." in reality, she thinks, "no, i just don't LIKE it."
5. she constantly is swiffering and using clorox wipes. she febrezes her boyfriend's hats because they smell. (substitute shoes here)

i won't even go into her religious and political views. i liked that she talked about everything from mit romney to TLC to " scrapbookin.' " i would definitely see her again, but she is NOT for the conservatives out there AT ALL. and i loved her pants. (shown above) go plaid.

an added bonus was michael showalter, the opening act. he was hilarious. i think my favorite part was his "guilty pleasure" playlist. it included dave matthews, creed and christina aguilera. he actually even "masks" his love for journey (my new obsession) by renaming it in his ipod as SUFJAN STEVENS (one of my favorites). i think i will post a guilty pleasure playlist in a future post.
