New HuffPo article is up! And Tater is at it again. This time, he has a new career goal: to star in a rap video. I'm not here to judge, just to support.

Classical Idiot Episodes 2 & 3! Frank Stallone and BAND CAMP!

Hello Interwebs! It's time for more idiocy with new episodes of "Classical Idiot"--dispelling the stuffiness of the classical world one idiotic episode at a time.

This week, we focus on the musical stylings of Mr. Frank Stallone and his past life as Chopin, followed by tackling the oddity that is known as "Band Camp." Yes, I went to band camp. No, I didn't play the flute.

Thanks for watching and see ya 'round the piano!



 

#ExploiTater Is in Full Swing Over at the Huffington Post

"ExploiTater"  noun - 1. A series of posts and pictures where I exploit the cuteness of my allergy-inducing kitten.

2. Where I don't feel bad about exploiting my kitten because, although I love him dearly, his presence sends me to the allergist's at least once a week.

3. A series of live tweets where I document my interactions with the sassy Latina receptionists at my allergist's office. 

Big thanks to the Huffington Post for featuring my two latest articles: "Kitten Relives Drunken Office Party Through Cell Phone Pics" and "7 New Year's Resolutions by a Kitten." Happy #ExploiTater 2014!

New Webseries! Classical Idiot Episode 1: Mozart Loves Butts

Hi! Here's a new idiotic thing I'm doing. I'd say it's a "web series" but it's me talking to myself in a room with my cat while combining comedy with classical music. Oh, did I mention it's idiotic?
