Jon Gabrus started a Tumblr →
Happy to see my buddy and all around funny dude, Jon Gabrus has started a Tumblr. If you don’t trust me that he’s a funny guy, watch him in the lead role in what is probably CH’s best video.
7 Cinematic Sub-Sub-Genres →
Pat and Jeff have a great article on CollegeHumor about cinematic sub-sub-genres such as “Detective, your new partner is a dog” movies. It features such words as “felonious” so you know it’s well-written. And hey, if anyone feels like digging it, that would be nice.* *I promise I won’t turn this blog into a list of things for people to Digg but I really, really...
I normally don’t like comedy songs since...
“You can take a one-note character and write a symphony.”
– -Bossman Ricky Van Veen That’s the nicest thing anyone has ever said about the moronic characters I do for CHTV. It speaks more to Ricky’s eloquence than to my own talent. Now, about that raise…
The Phantom of the Facebook Fan Group
I’ve never had the pleasure of having a fan club before. And I still don’t. However, the Phantom of the Office seems to have one and, better still, it has a robust 23 members (myself included). That sounds like I’m being a shithead, but I really am happy to see that someone made this group. Regardless of how stupid it is - and it really doesn’t get much stupider than...
When Life Gives You Lemons...
…You paint them gold, put them in an envelope and send them to me. Well, that’s what you do if you’re the marketing people hired by Atmosphere’s record label. Their new album is called “When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold,” so the golden lemon (and Atmosphere compilation) I receieved this morning makes perfect sense. As odd as getting a...
Halftroduction
Halftroduction: The act of introducing one party to another simply to learn the latter’s name. I do this with embarrassing regularity. I am always forgetting peoples’ names and this is the easiest, least embarrassing, most reliable way I have concocted to procure said name. It usually invoves me walking my girlfriend over to a person and saying, “Ah, you two need to meet. ...
Needed: News Tumblr
Will somone either point me to or make a tumblr that just posts little news bits throughout the day? No more than 10 a day, either. I just want the big stories and I want them in 200 words or less with a link to the source. I even have a great name for it: NewsPapr.tumblr.com! I am busy at work but I like to check in on this dashboard and WhiteWhine’s dashboard throughout the day. ...
Great News!
My hair is now long enough to do this! I swore a few months back not to cut my hair for a full year and now we’re closing in on six months. I don’t know if I’ll be able to stick it out since, as a few co-workers loudly observed, I’m beginning to look like a lesbian. A super hot lesbian, but still. I’ve had longer hair before but that was many, many years ago.
Hello There
After holding out as long as I could I felt a complulsion to move my blog over to the warm embrace of Tumblr. I’ve run WhiteWhine on Tumblr so I’m well aware of the tools availale but I will ask if anyone knows a way to combine tumblr dahboards to edit two at once? Anyone? I’ll probably be tinkering with the design over the next few weeks so pardon any ugliness. The same...
Here’s my latest from LaughLines. I think I’ll repost them here so my blog doesn’t just become a long list of links. Also, I’ll probably move this blog over to Tumblr soon as I’m almost 100% sure all of my friends who have switched in the past have completely stopped reading this. As soon as I can find a template I like I’ll try to convince my smarter friends...
I like My Job
Why? Because we get to shoot MTV pilots during the day.
And then we get to post videos I wrote. Enjoy this (maybe) last video in the Internet Commenter series. And if you guys want to Digg it, I won’t be mad atcha.
Best. Hate Mail. Ever.
I received this amazing piece of hate mail as a result of this article I wrote about bass players.
Let me tell you something, Streeter “Seidell”. You think your little b*tch ass article about bass guitar was funny? Let’s see you try and put so much time and effort into playing a beautiful instrument such as that! You’ve never known the hardships of playing in a band. How...
History In The Making
I really like history. I also really like writing funny stuff. But best of all I like when these two passions collide. One of my favorite ways to write is to think of a strange human tradition or invention and then imagine how it came to be. One of my favorite CollegeHumor articles dealt with the invention of the penny farthing, the old timey bike with the huge front wheel and tiny back wheel....
Call Him The Tumbling Dice
Jake just moved his blog over to Tumblr and, although I disdain the hyperblogging it inspires, it really is a nice platform. I run WhiteWhine off of it and it’s amazingly simple to use. I’ve considered moving this blog over to tumblr too, but I think I want to wait for a few things. Namely…
1. A native comment system. Disqus is a nice fix but it doesn’t look as natural...
