1) Have found two delightful folks to help out and who I can help out. So awesome.

UPDATE: Probably am not going to be as devoted about linking every story I do because of time constraints, but now that I've found an amazing person to help me out, the writing tab on my Web site should be more updated regularly - so you can keep up with current stories and columns there.

2) Set your Tivos for "Rock Band Band" on Nov. 11 on VH-1. It's funny. I play myself. Meta.

3) Did you know that even though I'm a Lazy Susan and haven't been posting my column here that you can keep up with it by checking out archives here? It's true. Cool.

4) I'm in the semi-finals for New York's Funniest Stand-Up.

The show is on Wednesday, October 24, at Comedy Village at 7:30 p.m. (82 West 3rd St., between Thompson & Sullivan, 2 blocks east of MacDougal...and friends, you can always, always get directions via Hopstop). Do you know whose special day that is, do you? Do something nice for someone. That would be cool.

UPDATE: I'm told to encourage people to make reservations. Do so by calling (212) 477-0130.

5) I finally wrote about Xanadu on Broadway. You should go see it. This video will show you why. It is my birthday gift to the world. Or to my sister at least.
