Tick Tock
I feel much better about things now that Justin Timberlake is in his 30’s.

Torture Idea
Schedule a mandatory wine tasting the day after the company open bar party. Wait- someone already thought of that.
WatchWHY aren’t all musical theatre actresses like this? I want to die. I’m so happy watching this. i want to DIE.

Movie Moments Circa 00's- Take 3
Catherine Keener, when she’s trying to sell her hand-painted gift wrapping paper to a shop in Lovely and Amazing. The shopkeeper very gently tries to tell her that they aren’t interested and she replies, “This shit’s pretty!” I’ve tried to mimic her delivery for years now and I’m a complete failure because Keener is a genius.

“Look, Andrew Garfield”
– What my roommate said to me on the streetcar to point out a cute guy. Apparently this is just what we’re calling hot men now? (via chainletter2)
Cut. Print. Send a letter to the OED. I’m completely behind this.

Movie Moments Circa 00's- Take 2
The little girl singing “All I Want For Christmas Is You” from Love, Actually. A of all, she was glorious. B of all, I think a serious argument could be made for that being the moment that cemented that song as a modern Christmas classic. That is all. Seriously, think about it. Wasn’t that the thing that made you stop thinking of it as a Mariah song and just a great fucking...
Questionable Movie Reactions
Is it alright that I desperately wanted Ben Affleck to get away with all of his crimes in The Town? I don’t feel OK about it, but I FELT it. Also, great movie. And, I only found one moment of Blake Lively’s performance false. I also learned/realized that she’s a face actor and there’s nothing wrong with that, really. Just, please don’t let her be the next person to...

I know you’re all wondering why I haven’t posted about P90X. Listen, I can intuit things and I know, without you having to say it, that you’re begging, “Why won’t he announce his progress? Did he sprain something? Is he on a bender?” Well, I’ll tell you, no, maybe.
I’m living in a loft space in Greenpoint. It’s a converted theatre, so the...

My wonderful and old friend (we’ve known each other for a long time. She’s not actually old. She’s young and lovely) Jessica Baran is publishing her first book of poetry, entitled Remains to Be Used. I can’t tell you how excited I am for her.
Poetry had really eluded me until I became friends with Jessica. She, and this is not to sound hokey, speaks naturally with the...
Weird yet potentially amazing birthday celebration...
With my friends waiting in a bar in midtown, I walk around Times Square and find the cutest (this is important later) barker for a comedy club, tell him that, yes, I like comedy and maybe I’ll come to his show. Real noncommittal-like. Then, I show up with 30 people (I’m imagining that as the number of people who will want to celebrate my 25th) and the guy will feel like Dane Cook for the day....
