My Tweets are funny. It says so.
Horror-scope Twitter
I wonder what happened.
When I see those automatic Horoscope Tweets, it annoys me a bit. Horoscopes are so dark ages. And a publicly accepted form of discrimination and prejudice, if you think about it. If I said, “Tight with a buck, not good with people, but not overtly unfriendly, not great communicators, but not really dishonest, really bull-headed, not big with the hygene” and I...
Tumblr you need to redesign your interface
I never can find anything.
When you search for something, it’s impossible to find out the date something was posted, or to isolate that post for a permalink.
I wound up having to reblog, then click on the post to find out the date!
That’s shitty design.

"I'll do it"
We were shooting “This Is Our City” downtown this weekend, and were almost wrapped when some guys wandered close by. I didn’t think much of it, then I saw one SEVERELY stumbling.
They hunkered in to stare at us for a while like cracked up creepers.
Whatever, the show must go on.
Mel and I went through the scene. Her character was trying to convince my character to go to a...
Gender issues bore the shit out of me
Like a lot. Like, you know when you see a kid at the bank, and that kid’s being dragged along by his parents, and that kid’s so bored he or she looses muscle control and turgor in his cells and just collapses and is dragged. That’s me.
So much useless saber rattling happens. So much superficial (and often really creepy) solidarity. So much blood-thirsty fighting over pedantic...

Anonymous asked: Why is Jeebus always trying to touch me at the laundromat?
WatchClient: And then we want you to ride the scooter in the store with the santa suit.
Me: …
I mainly remember that I was sick that day, there were plate glass windows right by the door I had to ride through and a big ass TVs right on the inside. I also couldn’t see any of the controls because of the fake belly. It was still fun. It was the only time I got to ride one of those things.

Now that it’s rare, admit it: you totally want some (as soon as you find out what the hell it is.)

While the dangers of over-tapping the slow-growing trees have been known for some time, this new research more sternly places the blame on wildfires, grazing and insect attacks. These pressures mean that few saplings are surviving to the age where they can be harvested...

Three Videos: 2011 Affirmations
I’m not into affirmations or mantras, or any kind of self help. Self destruction seems to be more my jam. But, If I were, I think I’d start each day with these three videos:
1: a quick inspirational Steve Jobs ditty. He’s polarizing; Some love him, some hate him. But this isn’t how you’d start YOUR day, it’s how I’d start mine. Plus, Steve Jobs inspires...

Gender Equality Gap: A Case Study
The commercials for Trojan condoms probably won’t win any awards, or blow anybody away, but you can tell the production value is there. The quality is at least on par with what you’d expect from a national commercial that wanted to sell you potato chips or beef jerky.
The Trojan vibrator commercials, on the other hand, are incredibly local looking…more like public access. Your local...

It's inevitable I'm going to try this.

How To Win:
I wouldn't do that if I were you
I never got that phrase. Other than smacking of contempt and superiority, it has a pretty big logical fallacy:
What they mean is “I wouldn’t do that if I were me.” Because if they were you, then obviously they would, because you are.
Stephen King
The main thing King is known for, writing novels, he’s pretty shitty at. But:
There have been some amazing movies based on his work.
He gives good writing advice.
He’s come up with some pretty clever non-writing advice too.
Funny actor.
Some of his short stories are pretty entertaining.
Am I right, ladies? Is this thing on? →
The show I’m writing passes. “Whitney” doesn’t.
