Open Letter To My Future Partner:
As we approach Valentine’s day, I am thinking about you and wondering what you’ll be like. It’s very possible that I’ll never meet you at all- but in case I do, below are the promises I will make to you now and keep forever:
I will never ask to dress in matching outfits. That is the realm of the gelded and the inhumane.
I will never call you “hubby.” If ever I have the desire to call you “hubby” that means that I despise you, and I will leave before that happens.
I will never refer to you as “my person.”
That particular nomenclature applies to the homonculous I have kept in my basement for all these years.
I will never say I want to “do life” with you. If there’s anything I want to do with you, it’s drugs.
I will never call you my “best friend.” My best friend is, today and always, the person in the room who has the most drugs.
I will never refer to you as my “partner in crime.” I already have one of those and he’s doing his dime in Chino like a real stand-up guy.
All this I promise to you, whoever you are!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Looking for a preview of the shows Virginia Jones is appearing at during 2024’s San Francisco Sketchfest?
Me and my kicky attitude are excited to return this year, to do comedy and see comedy and try to meet more famous people, and to avoid meeting less famous people!
I’m kicking off the weekend at Comedy Oakland, run by the amazing Samson Koletkar!
My first Sketchfest show is on Saturday, Feb 3rd at 9:45 at the small room at the Brava Theatre. I get to co-host glorious Dalia Malek‘s Interruption Show, where comics are asked prying questions about their little stories and make-em-ups. I love that I’m sharing the stage with the hilarious Becky Braunstein, who’s also one of the smarter people you’ve ever met. It’s a live show that is also a podcast that is also a happening. This thing sold out last year, and this year’s tickets can be had here!
I’m on one of the last shows closing the festival, a Taste Of Sketchfest collection of sketch groups. I’m looking forward to this one myself, I don’t always get to see a ton of sketch comedy. It’s a pleasure to host some of the best! Tickets can be had here!
Virginia Jones’ dorkdom is all things Hitch-hiker’s Guide and Douglas Adams, and we weed off to Jane Austen and Interactive Fiction Games. This is super fun.
Review of My Sister’s A Therapist episode: Irresponsible Diagnoses 1
In the episode “Irresponsible Diagnoses,” Virginia and Laura tackle the topic of diagnosing fictional characters.
Virginia provides her theories on the likely psychiatric diagnoses of characters from popular TV shows and movies, such as Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Trading Places, and The Good Place. Laura then reviews Virginia’s theories based on the DSM-V.
The episode is both informative and entertaining. Virginia’s theories are often humorous and thought-provoking, and Laura’s explanations of the DSM-V are clear and concise. The sisters also do a great job of discussing the ethical implications of diagnosing fictional characters.
One of the things I appreciate most about this podcast is that it’s hosted by a licensed therapist and a comedian who are real sisters. This gives the podcast a unique perspective on mental health, and it makes the conversations feel authentic and relatable.
Overall, I highly recommend the episode “Irresponsible Diagnoses” to anyone who is interested in mental health, pop culture, or both. It’s a fun and informative listen, and it’s sure to make you think about the way we diagnose and treat mental illness in the real world.
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Recommended for: Fans of mental health podcasts, pop culture podcasts, and anyone who is interested in learning more about the DSM-V.
