I can’t even pick a particular group to thank for making this because every department and creator on the show went 120%. But @cheese_village and @bccboy made a convincing one take by coming to every location option and changing the script with me on the fly based on paces from marks. I have no idea how they used changing daylight over twelve hours to make this look this good. They are incredibly focused and incredibly talented. @rugrugg1 thank you for telling me to “act with my eyes for this” - you were right turns out. My boss @adamanderegg for coming to the recording session and voicing all 12 members of the angel choir. What a vocal range. And also finally and especially thanking our ad @tykeegan finally for keeping this and every insane 12 hour day stress free with every cast member + every writer on set and in this piece twice. And obviously @garetallen for playing the devil too sexy.
I will cherish this lil’ diddy for life. Thank you
How do you celebrate Thanksgiving? Personally, I like to go back to our roots and ask the founders of this holiday what makes them thankful. Use caution. Happy Thanksgiving from my home to yours!

“The Hilarious Hijinks of Edgar Allan Poe” is a musical comedy pilot project that began almost three years ago. Since the beginning, it has been possible only with the help of a tight knit circle of amazing friends. To highlight a few of those people, here’s some BTS from the making of our first music video “Annabel Lee”.

Announcement: Dropping a CASUAL music video on Tuesday about a love so strong, it literally killed her. 😌
.
I called it “Annabel Lee” but my therapist called it “A Red Flag”
.
You can watch on Tuesday, but in the meantime go listen to the song (which is based on my original poem) on Spotify. Bring tissues,eyeliner, and emotional support ravens. 🐦⬛

The veil between hell and the mortal world is stretched ever thin this night. The screams of toddlers echo through the crisp Halloween air and remind me just how lucky I was to never pop one out.

I bring you yet another message through my host body on this most-special day in order to announce I have some upcoming “content” (GOD I hate that word)
.
.
The Music video for my first single Annabel Lee drops next week. But you don’t even have to wait that long to hear it as I’ve already posted the song on Spotify. I’m not sure how long it takes for those royalties to be mailed out but so far I haven’t seen any. If any of you work in “the industry” please advise.
You can find the link in my bio you twat.

Googled myself and found all this BS that looks nothing like me. So I ripped all their footage and made something way more my vibe. As long as Meta doesn’t rat me out to PBS we should be good.

Three years without a drink
Ten years of therapy
Eight years on my meds
And now five months without a cigarette
This has been a year of transition and uncertainty. In the midst of it I’ve never felt more confident in who I am and how much I can trust myself, the universe, the people in my life, and every other old version of myself still contributing a voice in my still very populated but now more spacious feeling head. As far as what to do with that new certainty in my identity? I left everything but my sobriety up for debate amongst everyone and everything listed above. I am coming up on ten years out here in LA and thought very seriously about opening a putt putt course in Indiana to occupy myself for the next ten years rather than keep at this. None of the people in my life and very few of the voices in my head accepted my resignation. And now I’m sitting here on the other side of this long period of seemingly pointless discipline with the job, the place, the community, and the creative exercise I never could have dreamed up or valued if I hadn’t gone along for the ride, dips included. I feel especially grateful for my family this year and look forward to repaying them all by encouraging my new nephew to move to LA and pursue improv offering them a new source of stress and something to gossip and care about. Because A: I THINK THAT KIDS GOT “IT” BABY! And B: when it comes to me, they have nothing to worry about anymore. This year my message is simple. I promise you that patience, perseverance, and moving in the direction the universe wants you to - pays off. Anyways. I mostly took pictures of wood and house projects this year and very few of myself or my friends and family. But none the less, Photo dump.
