MIB, Dylan and ShowalterHi, all! I’ve been writing and working for a living and trying to enjoy the summer (though there has been precisely NO sun in New York and 100% humidity–my hair is looking AWESOME right now. You can probably see it from wherever you are).  What you see here (besides my hair) is my good friend Dylan Peter Gadino, editor in chief of PunchlineMagazine.com, with the hilariously warped Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter. Dylan interviewed them recently (they’ve got a new show, Michael and Michael Have Issues, on Comedy Central). I interviewed MIB less recently and also reviewed Showalter’s comedy CD when it came out–and we were all in a movie with Kevin Bacon!

Anyway, more posts forthcoming. Thanks for your continued support and raditude.

Open your eyesHi there! Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Been writing, working, hanging…. Life is good and crazy. And I’m loving the reaching-out I’m still getting from people who read the essay and were affected by it. Thank you all so much. Check back soon for updates! xoxo carla.

PS–To atone for my silence as of late, I’m attaching a bonkers photo from my friend Todd Shalom’s awesome Soundwalk this weekend. Todd led us (with our eyes closed at times) around Brooklyn as part of Soundwalk-a-thon. The idea was to start using our ears as we use our eyes, paying closer attention to the sounds we often neglect to notice. As we emerged from an outdoor hipster party Todd had slyly led us into, we opened our eyes, looked up and saw this. Synergy! Amazing. (Photo credit: Jen Abramowitz.)

Thank you all so much for the interest and support since my essay “What the Guys I Date Don’t Know” (originally published in the June issue of Marie Claire) popped up on the AOL home page. Now that you’re here, I’d love for you to check out some of my other essays. I’ve stuck a bunch of my favorites in a handy little category called Faves (brilliant, no?). It’s right over there! Look! ——————————————————>
