Queries (or in this case, queeries)

Why is Margaret Cho the only one who can make me laugh out loud while I'm at home alone? To my recollection, I don't even think Eddie Izzard has accomplished that feat (not to say he doesn't absolutely floor me when I'm watching "Dressed to Kill" with friends). Wait, I think Ellen Degeneres does it for me, too. Anyway, I was watching "I'm The One That I Want" last night and Ms. Cho seriously kicked my sense of humor's ass. If that makes sense. I tend to just smile when things strike me funny without the presence of others.

Why, also, am I so ambivalent about Tori Amos right now? I know I truly love a few of her songs (i.e. "Silent All These Years," "Winter")...there just seems to be something stopping me from really getting into her material like I have with Regina Spektor (or Rufus Wainwright, for that matter). Hmm...right now I'm going to attribute it to subconsciously associating her with all those shy, angsty, awkward theater girls who worshiped her back in high school. I think, deep down, that if I embrace Tori Amos - I am also embracing the fact that I could be even remotely similar to those awkward little girls. I'm not an awkward little girl. Whoa, finally a breakthrough! Now I can move on with my life.

P.S. Do I only fancy gay and lesbian comedians? It seems so.
