Hayley's Comic-Comet

New Year, New Blog.

Welcome friends. Each year, I have a tradition of starting a new blog. A tradition that started...um....approximatley one minute ago.

Last year for the five of you that read, "Creative Sprite," it was a series of comic takes on my experiences negotiating my way through this business we call show. You (5 of you) were with me as I transitioned from child roles to teens, from theatre to TV, and from making idiot mistakes like wearing blond wigs to auditions to letting my Jew-fro fly.

Also notable were the blogs "Schmucks and the City," about my dating disasters, "Naughty Muppet,"and The Matzo Ball" which never made it to the Internet superhighway.

So now, Hayley's Comic Comet is about the random moments throughout my day or life which I find hilarious, thought provoking or amusing. New York City can be a tough place to live, or it can be warm and cozy and wonderful. And if I'm not laughing, something is wrong. I take my silliness very seriously

This first entry is a retrospect on my year.

Some things that I did this year

Three reality TV shows.?!!!. (Meisner is rollling in his grave)

And other things as well, maybe not as .....well pressing

Tried to half-heartedly get Larry David to adopt me

Fell in love and got my heart broken

A day later fell in love again with above person who broke my heart

Got this fantastic keratin treatment that changed my life forever

Met about three male versions of myself, and I was terrified.

Things I learned

You can make muppets at FAO Schwartz.

Fun new ways of accessorizing

Not to be afraid of color

How to be camera ready at the drop of a hat

That the human capacity for creativity is vast and huge and plentiful

You have no idea what you are capable of.

Going on another cruise ship

Buying the double portion version of banannagrams

Repricing my nose

And a funny thing that happened today.

I went to the DMV, and was quite surprised when I didn't have to wait on line for 3 hours. The man was so lovely that we started chatting. I was talking about being an organ donor and said, "Well, why wouldn't I give away my organs. If I'm gone, I won't need them." The man replied, "Great, I'll be at your door at 8 to pick up your spleen."

Thanks for reading my bouillabaisse of musings

Love,

Hayley
