Bored out of my mind, I sat down Sunday afternoon to find a marathon on TV. Actually, a TV marathon is the only marathon I’ve ever completed. It takes a special kind of fitness. It’s the only kind of marathon that is easier to finish the less you train. My regiment is food-based: 30 minutes [...]

service i didn’t demand

Last Thursday, thanks to a tweet by the Wicked Witch of the Web, I learned that Hulu might start charging. (I’ll wait for your blood pressure to drop to normal levels.) In the ensuing fallout, upset that cable TV would find it easier to compete, I twelled¹: And like Ken Jeong in The Hangover – [...]
sidetracked and bamboozled
Posted in celebrity, music, video, tagged they are jobronis, you didn't really think i'd done it - right? on June 4, 2009 | 17 Comments »
There comes a time, when we heed a certain call; when the world, must come together, as one. Today is that time. And we are that world. I had an idea for a post for today. I really did. But then I found this video and, well, I got sidetracked. After you watch it, we [...]
name your price
Posted in celebrity, participate, shame, tagged one of these things is not like the other, yeah - i've got a price (so now you know) on May 21, 2009 | 31 Comments »
This is not a TMI post. But! In reverence of LiLu — the Queen of TMI — and in awe of Maxie — her Royal Majesty of “Would You Rather?” — I give you Name Your Price. That’s right, for one day and one day only, I’m starting a game of gross, hideous proportions. Why only [...]
“celebrate” and, “don’t let me catch you”
Posted in NaBloPoMo, celebrity, get out your seat and jump around, tagged half of this post is a "thank you" note, i did it - now where's my drink?, Salma Hayek on April 30, 2009 | 24 Comments »
celebrate. This is the last day of April. That means the last 10 words you just read qualify me for having posted an entry every day for 30 days! Take that, NaBloPoMo! You: Would you like to try that again? That’s more like it. Let me be honest for a minute: it sucked. It required [...]
dream sequence number [countless]
Posted in NaBloPoMo, celebrity, help wanted, participate, video, tagged is that you god? it's me f.B, like god couldn't be Michael J. Fox on April 21, 2009 | 7 Comments »
It all starts with Michael J. Fox. He’s the first face I see. But then there are others. One at a time, they make invisible entrances — I notice them but can’t see their faces. Two of them sit next to MJF at an Idol-like table. The rest join me, standing in front of their [...]
i Rudd you, man
Posted in NaBloPoMo, celebrity, journal, movie, not a boy yet not a man, tagged know how i know you're Rudd?, romcoms, the back of a Vespa? well maybe - depends on the helmet, though maybe the point is i'd be the only one on the Vespa anyway? on April 7, 2009 | 31 Comments »
Yeah, so maybe it’s a man crush. Paul Rudd is awesome.¹ So what? I mean, whatever. It’s not – It’s not like – Look, that’s not the point. The point is someone wrote the screenplay to my life and invited Paul Rudd to star in its cinematic portrayal. It’s called I Love You, Man and [...]
i took a punch from Joe Frazier
Posted in NaBloPoMo, celebrity, photo, sports, tagged Larry Holmes, Smokin' Joe Frazier on April 5, 2009 | 5 Comments »
Yeah, so he’s 65. And he uses a walking stick. So what? I took it straight to the abs and didn’t blink. Now, if he had been in his prime and meant to do anything more than just play around, I probably would’ve been broken clean in half. But it wasn’t 1971, it was yesterday. [...]
i will planet that animal
Posted in animals, celebrity, i'm only happy when he maims, satire, tv, tagged i will remember you Stalks, if i had a wild cheetah..., move over Spurlock - there's a new kid in town, there's a Jay-Z line in there on March 31, 2009 | 28 Comments »
Morgan Spurlock parlayed his Super Size Me fame and indie-film-street-cred into a number of really challenging adventures on 30 Days, a show on FX. Every episode is a new venture into lifestyle immersion. One of my favorite episodes is the premiere: Minimum Wage. Spurlock and his special lady friend had to live on minimum wage [...]

Gimme an F: “F!” That’s right an R and then two E’s. I need a Verse: “Verse!” Just soul clap and sing with me: “We want it Fri, day! ‘Cuz on Friday the Verse is Free!” Welcome back, ya’ll, to the Change I Wish to See. — Hey kids. Since I was up redonkulously late [...]
