http://twitpic.com/rhv18 - OH HAI Napa Valley. You are pretty and full of wine.
Tonight is my 10 year high school reunion. Will not party like it’s 1999, because that would mean ripped jeans and watching “The X-Files.”
I do not give thanks for Radio Shack.
Because I am a genius of the highest order, when my brother and I drove up from LA to Sacramento on Wednesday I left my cell phone charger at home. So Thursday morning my father and I went out to the local strip mall to pick up some additional ingredients for Thanksgiving dinner and hit up the Radio Shack by the grocery store.
When we walked in, the store was empty, and one of the two very...
Family, friends, words, wine, community, sci-fi, Run Club, great TV, bad movies, embed codes, chips and dip, love. #givingthanks
WatchI am thankful for many things today, but high on the list is the technology that makes it possible for me to clip this scene from Addams Family Values and share it with my friends.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
No, Sartre, Hell isn’t other people. Hell is the 405 on Thanksgiving Eve.

Believe you me, I get not liking the Twilight franchise. But there’s a creepy and definitely misogynistic tone to some of these.

You know, there’s self-promotion and then there’s being an asshole. And the line between them is easily crossed.

I find the idea of a free lunch much less exciting than I used to. It’s not maturity — it’s not wanting to wear pants before noon.

Wow. So. I’ve been a huge fan of the blog/books/series for a while, so I’m fascinated by this. But the most bizarre thing about Belle’s true identity is that I NEVER pegged her as a scientist.
(Not that scientists can’t also be film and literature nerds on the same level as Belle is. But I always imagined her being a MFA-bearing English major who couldn’t...
Dear little brother,
You were right, and I was wrong. You get to sing the “I’m right!” song.
Love,

PS: “Castle” is fantastic.

Just finished my heavy lifting for the day — the Michael Gregory #NTVL interview. Secret to fun interviews: interview funny people.
About to get learned by @comcastcares on social media. Our post-game interview will probably just be us cracking Twitter jokes. #ntvl

So it’s painfully early, and I’m winging my way up to San Francisco, simultaneously my hometown and a stranger to me. (Ah, the strangeness of growing up in Silicon Valley, the quasi-suburbs, where there were just enough arthouse movie theaters to keep me from venturing to the big bad city all that often. It means that I know what BART stands for, but barely know how to use it. It...

A Somewhat Sexy Q&A With Young American Bodies‘... →
Doing this interview was a real pleasure, as I’ve been a long-time fan of Young American Bodies, and NewTeeVee was very cool about it running long. But for the super-fans, here’s some (unedited) stuff about Season 4 and the future I had to cut in order to get it down to even a slightly respectable length:
