The script has been printed and turned in. This photo illustrates how I feel right now.

Congratulations! I feel like such an achievement calls for classy bow-tie koala. (Also, I made this a long time ago and felt this was an appropriate time to share it.)

Two amusingly ironic tidbits

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 01:37:48 -0500

After reblogging the video for Yo La Tengo’s “Sugarcube” featuring Bob Odenkirk and David Cross, I went to see Baby Wants Candy. Bob Odenkirk sat two rows behind me.
My disparaging comment about Tim and Eric was probably unwarranted, since Odenkirk has collaborated with them on TAEASGJ! and Tom Goes to the Mayor. Whoops! Also, generally speaking, I like those two shows; I’m just not a fan of the music videos Heidecker and Wareheim have done.

Way better than any of those lame Tim and Eric videos that crop up every few months.

Don’t let their cuddly looks and internet memes confuse you. Cats are huge jerks and are not to be trusted.

This one goes out to all of my film friends. I think we shouldn’t write ambiguous endings anymore.

BRIAN’S RIGHT.

This was an insanely incredible episode.

brianglidewell:

Ira & friends have been on FIRE over the past year, with their economy shows and the like. This week’s show, the first of two shows on the healthcare industry, explains why healthcare costs have been rising at exponential rates, what needs to happen to change that, and why it’s going to be really difficult to implement these changes. Insanely informative. Can’t wait for next week.

Just finished this up to see it’s getting blogged about. Really great stuff — Dad check this out.

Does your dad read your tumblr Adam?

Yes he does, because he’s a cool internet dad. Shout out to Pops — whuddup!

It’s cool to do that??? I saw people doing it, but wasn’t sure if it was a good idea. Safety and all

It’s not only allowed, it’s pretty much encouraged. As long as you don’t have your headphone wire hanging all over the top of the Steenbeck, you’ll be fine.

I got some serious listening done while cutting last year.

Autumn Songs 7

Ben Folds, Smoke, Whatever and Ever and Amen

Tonight’s song is more of a feeling of autumn, than a song that explicitly evokes the season. Enjoy!

Leaf by leaf, page by page

All the sadness, all the rage
Throw this book away

I had Mono my last year of high school so I had to stay at home for three weeks and do literally nothing. I was laying face up on my bed with my eyes open. It freaked out anybody who was brave enough to visit me. Four songs from this album kept sane during this time: Smoke, Kate, Fair and the She don’t use Jelly cover.

I was in a bad mood when I had to leave to work. Saw Trowbridge’s post, listened to the first Ben Folds album on the way to work. CHANGED ME.

Had the best night in a really long time, all thanks to Trowdrige’s reblog!

I was in an OK mood while reading stuff online. Saw Townsend’s post, listened to Whatever and Ever Amen. STILL READING STUFF ONLINE. But it was still good.

Had the same night as every other time, all thanks to Townsend’s reblog!

P.S. JZT, you have to learn to edit while listening to music. It will change your life, to borrow a line from a certain movie about New Jersey.

P.P.S. WAEA is a great fall album.
