Tumblr “Crushes”
I love the new Tumblr Version 5 feature that allows you to see whom you’ve favorited the most. My Top 9 faves were kind of surprising:
- The Staples® Easy Button
- Anonymous lit blogger Salman Rushdie’s Eyebrow
- The Calculus
- Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor
- Awesome rapper Fred Durst
- Inspirational gymnast Mary Lou Retton
- Jared, obviously
- Raymond co-star Brad Garrett
- Legendary DJ Rick Dees
Check ‘em out!

Chooser
This one’s for the Mac nerds. The Chooser came up in conversation today (it happens).
Apple will be just fine.

“When that ineffable compound of depression, sadness (these two are not the same), anxiety, self-hatred, sense of failure and fear for the future begins to steal over you, start telling yourself that what you have is a hangover… . You have not suffered a minor brain lesion, you are not all that bad at your job, your family and friends are not leagued in a conspiracy of barely maintained silence about what a shit you are, you have not come at last to see life as it really is.
Kingsley Amis describes the “metaphysical hangover” in “A Few Too Many” from The New Yorker.
SF Sketchfest ohmygodohmygodohmygod
I’m showing 17-year-old me the Sketchfest bill for Sunday the 25th and 17-year-old me is pissing in his Dockers, the bulk of which is pooling in his black Cons then soaking in his virginity and angst. And he’s making no effort to hide the fact that he’ll be in Stella’s audience and not future his own. And I don’t blame him, but he should probably change into his other Dockers.
If you’re in town that night, do yourself a tremendous favor and see Stella. I saw them in LA last month and it was tremendous. But do us a tremendous favor and buy a ticket to our show which we do with our good friends Jordan Jesse GO! under the banner “Monsters of Podcasting”. It’ll be good fun and Stella already has all the money they need.
