Maria Bamford

[fifthsonata]

I always loved Maria Bamford. After I caught her special on Comedy Central where she said she need a mug of chocolate chip ice cream to get "the little lady started" I immediately got her album, lol

I was surprised to hear her discuss her suicidal ideation and fear of harming herself, especially in such a chipper voice. It makes me believe she can see her illness objectively and subjectively at the same time - it's freaky to have that dualism in your brain. To realize what's going on, know what you SHOULD do, but to doubt yourself rationally and all that.

I'd like to keep her in my pocket.

She discusses the same things with her 1:1 interview with Chris Hardwick on the nerdist network. If you liked the one on the MIHH, you'd like the one on the Nerdist network too.
