if anyone still swings by my page to see what's happening, sorry for the lack of new content. I'm in work mode at Fallon, and not really on myspace much. I'm updating my website, morganmurphy.net bit by bit, but mostly I stick to twitter: @morgan_murphy. Follow me and you will get to read plenty of short sentences I thought were funny and/or interesting at the time I posted them. I'm trying to blog at http://anokaything.tumblr.com/. Sometimes the two overlap, but I'm definitely gonna put more photo blogs up on the tumblr site soon. I have a few shows coming up in the next couple of weeks. Nothing too flashy, but I'll post them on my profile page. I'm headed to LA right now, writing from the airplane. Next weekend I head to Boston where my dear friend and wonderful comic Jen Kirkman is getting married. I can't wait to cry like a baby at the ceremony, and then drink like a me at the reception. When I get back to NY I will await the shipment of my storage pod. It's taken almost 7 months, but I'm finally willing to accept that I don't live in LA anymore. I haven't seen my things in so long that I can't wait to see which belongings I decided to keep that I don't need. I'm pretty sure I held onto a thigh master. I'm pretty sure I've never used a thigh master. Hope everyone is good. Back to watching Obama try to explain things to worried white people.
love,
mom

If I don't owe this to YOU, I at least owe it to myself. I haven't heard from me in quite some time, as well. Update since our last correspondence: I live in New York now. I'm writing on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, so yes, if you're counting (not because you care, but because you have an obsessive compulsive disorder which causes you to fixate on patterns) this marks my second stint of employment for a late night talk show host named Jimmy.
New York is an okay town. Sometimes its perfect, other times its dreary and post-apocalyptic (which some people find to be quite enjoyable). I'm looking forward to a change in the weather because I tend to rely on outside events/people/climate conditions to make me a fulfilled individual. I have a ton of pictures to post, and a few musings to dispense, but I'm thinking I should figure out how to blog through my ghost town of a website. Perhaps I'll employ a tech savvy friend (or 4th grader) to help me with that. Until then, here are a couple of photos from this past weekend. One is from a subway ride I was taking. I'm fairly sure it was the C train. A man was loading plants onto my subway car, holding up the train in the process. The end result was worth the wait. The second shot is from the Apple store. I think they were listening to Matisyahu (or The Cranberries).

hello. it's been an interesting 09'. i went to sundance in support of bobcat goldthwait's movie. i went to a party where they served absinthe and left after 20 minutes. I shattered my iphone screen. i played video games with a 10 year old and was badly beaten. i played pool with a grown man, and I won. i'm headed to NY this week for a job interview. who knows...maybe that will be my new home for a bit. i had a very small part in a tv pilot and I had my fitting on the first day of my adult life where I was stricken with a terrible flu-type something. i threw up in the wardrobe room...humiliating. i'm also afraid that the costume designer thinks I'm a drunk. i had to go to the hospital that night and get IV fluids. my friend Ron came with me and held my pee cup while I sanitized my hands.
(PS Kobe Bryant is KILLING the Knicks as I type)
in any case, I'm doing this show on Saturday...should be fun.

hi everyone! It's me, Morgan Murphy. You remember me, don't you? Curly hair, a bit sad, occasional winner.
In any case, I just got home after two weeks on tour with Aimee Mann & Friends doing her "3rd Annual XMas Show."
 I reprized my role as the Hannukah Fairy. Paul F. Tompkins, Todd Barry, and Patton Oswalt did comedy (traded off...different comic in each city). Grant Lee Phillips and Nellie McKay sang some delightful songs. Other guests included Juliana Hatfield, Tom Lennon & Ben Garant, Fred Armisen, and Amos Lee. Overall, a pretty swell run. I'll put up some pictures at a later and more "doable" date.
Things that are new with me: -been taking the bus quite a bit -got an iphone -put my living room rug in my bedroom, and my bedroom rug in my living room -the movie I have 1 or 3 lines in (depending on what you consider a line) got into Sundance -turned 27. Looking forward to my 40's. -felt good in November -threw a shoe at a baby -cried during the documentary "American Teen" (on an airplane) -watched 2 episodes of Monk in a row
Things that WILL be new with me: -Jen Kirkman and I are doing our talk show at the UCB after a months-long hiatus. I'm excited to have Carol Leifer on the show. To give you a short synopsis, she's written for SNL, Seinfeld, and The Larry Sanders Show (among others), and has appeared on numerous TV shows (including 25 appearances on Late Night with David Letterman!).
 MAKE RESERVATIONS HERE
-Doing a show at the Ice House in Pasadena. Been there, but never performed there. It looks like a great show. It's pretty much all ladies, without being advertised as an all ladies show. That in itself is as Christmas miracle...

-You can order the Comedy Death Ray Calendar HERE

-And lastly for now, a cartoon my mom forwarded to me in the internet mail

The 2008 Vancouver Comedy Festival... I always like this festival. I've only been once, but I enjoyed myself. Couldn't go last year because I had to shoot a tv show that never made it to tv. And so, with my dreams sufficiently crushed, I couldn't wait to return to Vancouver, "the city that feels just a little off."
Tig Notaro and I are now a comedy team. But we don't work together.

Reggie Watts SOMEHOW makes it into all of my photo blogs (phlogs?)

Rath and Kindler

Todd very excited.

THE EUGENE MIRMAN COMEDY FESTIVAL
Sometimes, comedy festivals are big and exhausting (Aspen, Montreal, etc.), and sometimes they are smaller and more enjoyable (Vancouver, Portland, Altcom in Boston)...but only once have they been named by and after Eugene Mirman. Went to Brooklyn for this. It was well worth the trip. Eugene, and everyone involved with the fest, put together some really fun shows. John Oates played the closing night show. It was good for comedy, and I was proud to be a part of the first one.
Someone from "Asia" put their shoeless and sockless foot on the back of my arm rest. Fuck that guy.

Lucked out and hit Dan Mintz' birthday hang while I was there...

blitz wore a wig.


Todd glass did not know it was a wig for HOURS.

Mulaney, my hospitable host, a friend, and probably too funny for his age. You know who else is too funny for their age? ALL babies.

just finished season 3 of the wire. haven't used my new pink boxing gloves. only 5 more shows left, hard to believe. the "nominees" came in today, which I would be remiss to give a shit about , except some pals were nominated so now I HAVE to care. Been taking more pictures of people rather than places. Maybe that's because I'm not really going anywhere, or MAYBE it's because I'm passionate about the human condition. You get to decide. The crowds have not gotten better, and I don't expect them to. I also don't care. Occasionally an audience of 5 will make my day. Two people at yesterday's show HATED me, and all I did was focus on them, talk to them, grill them about what they didn't enjoy. I never attacked them, I just asked them questions. It's was a bit self-destructive, but I've become fascinated by the few folks who don't laugh at a single thing I say, yet stay for the whole show. It all feels like an experiment being inflicted on me, as well as a lesson in patience if you'll allow me a moment of earnest confession. (speaking of which, have you ever seen "Ernest goes to Confession"...hilarious!) Still miss home, equal parts confident and confused about stand-up, and longing for a poker game (Bruce??). I think my camera is breaking. Pieces are falling off of it. Is it time to buy a fancy one? To invest in a hobby and take myself on "artists dates?" Maybe I'll become a cop. The Wire is getting under my skin. In a good way. All they do is drink and fuck and save people. I can do that. Oh...and here's more blah blah blah... 
what this street would look like it your bus tipped over.

these is some sausages I cooked.
