I want me a commercial lady.
When driving down from Berkeley on the 5, I was listening to the radio when a commercial for Mike’s Limo Service came on.
In it, Jim was messing up big time, as guys tend to do in commercials. He was telling his lady Angela that he was gonna pick her up to go out. Angela replied […]
The benefits of running
My girlfriend Alex is a runner. I don’t hold this against her. It’s not a choice. She was born with it. In an attempt to better understand who she is, I agreed to join her on her daily “jog.” I wore a sweatband and short shorts; it was a sad attempt at humor that hid […]
A big kudos to the San Francisco Chronicle for believing that buying crap is equivalent to accomplishments that take actual intelligence and effort:
The get-up-and-go spirit that helped America settle the West, win two world wars and put a man on the moon isn’t dead. It’s just gone to the mall.

Ladies and gentlehousers, in honor of Capitalism Day, I give you this week’s…shitty overpriced item of the week:
Anthropologie’s “Mirror with Weird Pieces of Wood Attached to It.”

The price? $168.00 before taxes.
Summary: Apparently made in a Williamsburg elementary school art class, this piece of hipster shit looks like it was made by 4th graders, and it most likely was. Yay sweatshops! Although, I do think it is a step up from most sweatshop-made products, because it actually looks like something a child should be making. It’s like a fun art project! A fun art project made in a hot windowless warehouse where happiness doesn’t exist. Yay sweatshops!
Football Halftime Shows
Are the most eclectic, weird, shitty things ever. It’s like the producers of these shows were like “Maybe if we put a bunch of shitty ingredients together, they will become not shitty. Like sausage.”
Today’s NFL Thanksgiving halftime show featured among other things:
1. Kelly Clarkson doing a great impersonation of a dying cat.
2. Bratty 12 year […]
This past September, I was back in Boston and performed a few times at the World Famous Comedy Studio in Harvard Square. The shows were quite fun, especially since each show wrapped up with sets from myself, followed by good friends Pat Boccuzzi and Myq Kaplan, who were gearing up for the finals of the […]
Sci-Fi Original Films
Are completely horrible. And a little bit amazing. Especially their titles.
I flicked on the TV and was pleasantly surprised to find Magma: Volcanic Disaster, which might be the worst title for a movie since Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever. It starred Xander Berkeley from 24 and the Pink Power Ranger. Now it’s one thing to have […]
Russian Pride Bitch!
Someone scribbled “Russian Pride Bitch!” with a silver Sharpie on my car’s windshield yesterday night.
I was very confused.
If this was their advertising pitch, they really should have taken a different approach. Had they scribbled “Russian Pride Bitch!” on my car but also put a hot plate of delicious syrniki next to it, I would have […]
Proud Mama
My mom is always itchin’ for a reason to be proud. She recently told me she was proud of me for having a job. She told me she was proud of me for buying a car. After completing my recent cross country roadtrip without dying, my mom told me how amazing I was for doing […]
