Call to Action! The new Jenisfamous.com launches on Monday
Dear Readers,
The new Jenisfamous.com launches on Monday!
This has been a long project, involving three different web designers/companies, much mucking around trying to import four years' worth of Blogger posts into Wordpress (don't email me for advice about this -- I paid an expert to execute this tortuous task), and much thinking about what belongs on a new Jenisfamous.com. No Google ads. No section for "Vaudeville," as I haven't had a vaudeville show since 2006. Much more attention to nerdy bar games, my raison d'etre sur l'internet (pardon my made-up French). Fewer standup videos. More grammar, sarcasm, and exposés of my mother's panda bear collection.
A few things you, dear erudite reader of consummate taste, may care about or be able to help with:

p.s. I am sure my new website will still be banned by the US military, the nation of Qatar, and the Big Boy restaurant chain.

A few things you, dear erudite reader of consummate taste, may care about or be able to help with:
- My new site has a "Best Of" page, which seemed like a good idea for new visitors to the site. But it doesn't have much on it yet. I would really appreciate it if you would email me or post in the comments whatever you think belongs on my Best Of page (specific blog posts, videos, written pieces, recordings, etc.) Thanks so much!
- For an arcane reason I don't entirely understand, comments before March 2008 have been imported to the new blog, but comments since March 2008 haven't. So any comments you've made in the last four months will be lost. This makes me sad, because your comments often make me laugh and inform me of useful facts about the world. So feel free to comment like the dickens all over the new site, beginning Monday.
- A big priority right now is for me to expand my one-woman show, "What Philosophy Majors Do After College." If you are a college student, why not email your student activities office a link to PhilosophyShow.com? I am also looking for a theater venue to perform this show in New York -- personal recommendations from other performers, or inquiries from theater owners/bookers, are welcome.
- I will try to make you laugh more, but in that "Oh, I'm so glad there's something out there that's saying what this is saying" way rather than that "Ha ha ha that comedian said dick and nougat in the same sentence pass me the hot wings I love comedy" kind of way.

I'll start early and say "cheerfulness and contentment are great beautifiers, and are fatuous preservers of youthful looks."
I'm commenting like Dickens. Dig? Lame? I accept your terms.
Aww, the other guys didn't like the standup videos? Sure, there is variance, but this one, for example, was phenomenal.
Oh, by the way, this was the post that originally got me reading.
I'm not sure which ones, but the egg donor things are also interesting.
It may just be me, but I also find this post funny in that if I were to see it in real life, I would probably just wonder "why is Jen eating a bagel?"
Oh, and Iraq! I liked the Iraq ones. One of my favorites, I think was in the tent.
Member of the military CAN view JenisFamous.com using a RSS reader like Google Reader. Unfortunately, you can't read or post comments.
Come back and do more performances in DC!
My Mother has a thing for teddy bears. There are probably over 2,000 of them in their house right now. I can count 30 of them nestled around the computer desk from where I'm typing this. I came home recently for my father's pancreatic surgery and found myself having the "when we're dead" talk with Mom last night. Her eyes welled up as she showed me all sorts of important paperwork. Her voice trembled with the tone of now-you-know-I-don't-like-talking-about-these-things. As she struggled to form her words, I interrupted - "Mom. What exactly is a semi-grown thirty year old single male going to do with thousands of teddy bears?"
