How Things Work
July 22, 2011
I got up early today to meet a deadline and all the sudden someone was shining an orange light at me from between two buildings. I live on the 25th floor and sometimes wonder if other tower-dwellers are looking at me with binoculars, which actually would probably be really boring for them.
I got up all like “WTF is that?” Yes, that would be THE SUN.
That is all.

Tuesday, July 19: ¡The Punctuation Show! (How to Use Tiny Symbols to Make Meaning Without %$^&#* Up)

Here are some photos from the last instance of ¡The Punctuation Show!, at Palm Beach State College:
Want to see this m*ther%#&%$ in NYC?
¡The Punctuation Show! (How to Use Tiny Symbols to Make Meaning Without %$^&#* Up)
Do you know your colon from your semicolon? Enjoy a fun-filled (and pun-filled) romp through the major punctuation marks, those that never quite took off, and some unorthodox uses of punctuation. Comedian Jennifer Dziura makes those tiny symbols on the printed page mean more than you ever imagined. Also, if you’ve ever wanted to volunteer to come on stage and punctuate something, this is your chance!
This is the New York premiere of a new show from pedantic humorist Jennifer Dziura, best known as co-host of the Williamsburg Spelling Bee.

Finally! Here are the (only) shows I will be doing in NYC in 2011!
Attend the first two shows to receive free admission to the third. (At “What Philosophy Majors Do After College” and “The Punctuation Show,” attendees will each be awarded three credits towards a Masters in Nerdery. Present six credits at “The History of Women” to get in free and receive a Masters in Nerdery! Feel free to wear a cap and gown.)
Comedian Jennifer Dziura’s one-woman show of hilarity and the greats of Western thought. After graduating from Dartmouth with a degree in philosophy, Jennifer held job titles including office drone, nude art model, egg donor, subject of medical studies, and finally, comedian. The show includes a humorous overview of the work of nearly twenty philosophers, from Thales to Foucault, accompanied by an aptly collegiate slideshow.
“Dziura’s topic is relatable to most floundering twenty-somethings, especially those of us who decided not to be brokers. Her show has substance, heart, and rapid-fire laughs. It’s a gripping college lecture without a windbag professor.” – Abbi Crutchfield for TheApiary
Jennifer will also be performing “The Punctuation Show” on July 19 and “The History of Women in 60 Minutes” on July 26. Attend the first two shows and receive free admission to the third!
