I’m getting more followers from people that are much more funny and accomplished than myself and it’s making me nervous. I’m supposed to entertain you? I can barely remember how to tie my shoes.
That’s fine. I don’t know how to tie my shoes either, but yeah: this was pretty awesome. So, I wouldn’t worry about entertaining me.

Correction.
Apparently, the coat from this post is a Burberry coat, not Banana Republic. I don’t really see the difference considering both companies advertise towards the higher end, fashionably challenged UES annoyance.

Could be the grossest thing I've ever heard.
My friend, we'll call her Cat-Sitter, was telling me about her current job and her dilemma.
CAT SITTER: So, I'm cat-sitting this twenty-four pound cat that has a serious problem.
ME: What kind of problem?
CAT-SITTER: This cat, when she shits it gets caught in her fur. She used to have the other cats in the house clean it out for her...
ME: Wait, what? This cat makes the other house cats clean out HER dingle-berries?
CAT-SITTER: Yeah, she did. Until the other cats wised up and decided not to do it anymore because all the fat cat would do is swat them, and considering she's a twenty-four pound cat...
ME: That's mighty rude of her.
CAT-SITTER: Yeah. So, these people I'm cat-sitting for had me come over before they left town to go over how to properly clean her. They've been in Italy for the last week and, yeah, I refuse to clean it, and the cat gets really loud and claw-y if I try to get anywhere near it. But I need the money. What do I do?
ME: Number one, I suggest putting that twenty-pounder in a sleeper hold and then buzz cut it's asshole. But no, in reality, call a Vet see what kind of sleeping pills you can give it. Or you can do as I would, and just buy some Benadryl, put it in it's food and wait for it to pass out. Get out the clippers and give it a buzz. You'll be doing the house a favor.
CAT-SITTER: I love it how I can come to you and you can not only give me a solution to my problems, but your solutions are totally disturbing.

I’ve been looking for this for what seems like for years. For writers you’re not going to get a better examination of how powerful words are, considering this is the radio play that incited a panic.

the weirdest thing about seeing one of my graphic novels being turned into a TV pilot was watching this immense set-up involving three hundred people including musicians and dancers and pyro technicians and one of the actors turning to me and saying: “This is all because of you, you know.”

… the State Department is advising social networking sites to make sure their networks stay up and running for Iranians to use them and helping them stay ahead of anyone who would try to shut them down. For example, senior officials say the State Department asked Twitter to refrain for going down for periodic scheduled maintenance at this critical time to ensure the site...

youngmanhattanite:
1. It is easy to let the media’s (and new media’s) obsession with itself get in the way of the true meaning of what is going on here. MSMFail? Sure. Bill Keller’s just another election tourist in Iran? Obviously. Boston Globe seizing the moment? You bet. Yammering on about how Twitter isn’t making any money just because you get off on on countering what’s popular turns...

My review of ‘Whatever Works’ at The Flickcast. →
Starring Larry David (Curb Your Enthusiasm) and Evan Rachel Wood (Thirteen and Marilyn Manson’s ex-girlfriend) this stunted, half-thought out movie’s sole highlight was just listening to Larry David talk. I’m a Curb fan, and to be honest I could listen to Larry David talk about anything. His cynicism and sharp comebacks are a highlight and this movie is a natural progression from his work on...

At 12:01 a.m. Saturday, 200 million Facebook users will begin a mad scramble to claim a user name. It may also be the moment, says Douglas Rushkoff, when Facebook becomes obsolete.
Interesting article here. I know of at least a few people who see Facebook essentially becoming MySpace with this new thing, and are so disinterested in it they may completely stop using it. For me, I just...

Most Phish fans sneak a little grass into concerts in their underwear, but during the band’s tour-opening show at Fenway Park on May 31st, Yankee fan Ian Ferris took it a step further: As payback for the Red Sox fan who tried to curse the Bronx Bombers by dropping a Sox jersey into wet concrete during construction of the new stadium, Ferris tried to seed the Fenway infield with grass seeds...
