rock and roll
Just got back from the Mt. Eerie show and it was AMAZING. Calm down, It’s Monday was really good too and funny. At the end Phil played ‘Get The Hell Out Of The Way Of The Volcano’ by himself and it was really moving. I wanted to buy the sick tour shirt but I had no cash. Oh well.

Dear Alan,
We don’t publish the actual finalist screenplays or make them available to the public at the Media Arts Festival (obviously, this would be a bad thing to do.)
However, we do make a playbill insert with a log line for each screenplay, which is also distributed tour industry guests so that if anyone is interested in getting a copy of your screenplay they can contact you directly.

And the date
is over before it began. You know, I’m really trying here and I just keep getting knocked down. And we’re supposed to film some sketches tonight. Here goes a fake smile.
the one day
I’m getting stoked for and I wake up with a cold coming on. I’m dead tired and starving. I only have to be at work for another two hours but it seems like forever. And still no good date ideas for tonight.

my friend Andy wrote this funny post at his site misanthropytoday. congrats Laryn & Jeremy.
also be sure to read, Most People Are DJ’s.
The Hold Steady know what’s up.
Mt. Eerie
For free. UCI. Wednesday. New EP- amazing. Apparently its being played in its entirety at these shows.
Might have a
date tomorrow. It’s an important one. It will be in the evening. I’m financially tapped right now so nothing expensive. ANY SUGGESTIONS? The last thing I pulled out of my ass was a night-time picnic. I think it worked well, for date one, even if that relationship burnt up pretty quickly. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
Friend-zone
I am watching Just Friends right now (I’m not sure why…) but there is this scene that bugged me more than anything else for some reason. Ryan Reynolds’ character (as an adult now) is telling his peer not to go to lunch with a girl because it will be an ‘express lane into the friend-zone’ and the friend goes ‘What’s the friend-zone?’. Are you kidding...
Speakers Set Up
Fleetwood Mac and jorts and a cold one. Go Saturday.
How do we get people to vote the right way?
N: We have to threaten them, scare them into doing what's right if they don't plan on it.
M: We need to make commercials then.
N: Yeah.
M: What should we say?
N: We'll just be like 'Hey, stop being a fucking fag and vote No on 8'
M: That sounds off putting.
N: The conservatives will be like 'I'm not gay!' and tricked into voting how we want them to.
M: Ok. Are people on our side gonna be mad at the words we choose?
N: "What are you, a dyke? Vote no on 8'
M: Guess you don't think so.
Hey Heart,
brynnherman:
This feeling is familiar. It doesn’t matter whether or not you’ve experienced it once or even a million times; you’ll never get used to it. There’s nothing to say that will ease it or make it go away. Tomorrow’s going to suck. The day after that too. And more days ahead will inevitably share that same characteristic.
Start preparing for a long winter ahead.

I know
it’s pretty cliche and lame, but tonight I saw an old episode of THE OC (the one where Seth and Summer lose a couple of V cards) and I totally want to put on my Ryan Adams 45 of his Wonderwall cover and dance in the room with some girl. Is that so wrong?

Every site I have ever involved myself in has featured a day where, after a year, I read this again and cannot stop laughing.
After 4 years, this is still one of the funniest things I have ever read.

Last minute
costume ideas usually go the route of generic and sloppy. However, tonight, the Young-Unabomber came straight solid into the house of multiple Halloween parties. Go fake mustache/sunglasses/hoodie. Total cost: 0.
Dear Atom and His Package
Thank you so much for introducing me to the game ‘Moustache TV’. I finally played it last night and I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time. You’re a hero.
Oh come on yeah?
Pick up that phone and make the connectionnnnnnn.
GoldWeek
Although I’ve been talking about how awesome this week has been with the nomination, new girl I’m crushing, awesome friends, free shit, etc- I just looked in the mirror and HA. I’ve been having so much fun but it’s ridiculously hot in my apartment so as I crossed to the bathroom and saw this: me, shirtless, halfbeard, looking tired, and a bottle of champagne in my hand. Oh...

What is the deal with
all the bullshit in early stages of dating? When should I call/when will she call/am I coming on too strong?/Should I play it more cool?/Blah blah blah?/Am I interesting? Its like fuck- I like you, you like me, what’s with the games? Or at least I hope you like me….oh no get out of the self-conscious doubting yourself phase. I’m worried and excited and happy and scared all at the...

Where the fuck is the Time Warner asshole?
Ham
I just read the final version of my roommates pilot and damn. Dude’s talented and I’m glad he is around to make me laugh and all that stuff. This week keeps getting better. I have all day off. Pool + beer?
Recognition
For a long time now I have been working on a short screenplay that is very personal. It was hard to write, bringing up old demons and relationships, etc, and making it cinematic. Took a lot out of me. I usually try not to care what people think of my work (though I do want people to share in it) but today I am very happy to find out I have been selected as a finalist at the film festival I entered...

get a ‘hell yeah’ for freckles?
Jeff Mangum drops two NMH tracks →
In Pittsburg three nights ago Jeff performed ‘Holland, 1945’ and ‘Engine’. Just before this he popped up a bunch of times at the big E6 show. This is huge boner material for me and hopefully the performances keep coming (I won’t hold my breath for new material, though it’d be amazing). via Stereogum.
Dear Friend
I’m glad you didn’t die. I know nights get even darker than normal sometimes and I know your decision was yours alone. I don’t judge that at all. But I’m glad it didn’t work. You’re a brilliant person and I love you and that you changed your mind. I will live better.
edit: just incase, seeing as how this post was done on the same day as something else tragic,...
