Please come watch and ask questions by clicking here.
Happening in 10 minutes. You don’t have to be a member to watch (but...

– LOST creator Damon Lindelof on hating “Deathly Hallows”. I love the part where he says you weren’t a fan of his show if you were hating on it while it was on. That’s just hilarious. Let’s put this one down as a lesson in What Not To Say On The Internet so you...

“Enjoy yourself, work hard, and don’t act like it’s a chore....”
– I have to remind myself of these things from time to time just to not feel so down all the time.

The David Foster Wallace Files | The Awl
Awl pal Seth Colter Walls put in some serious time scouring the David Foster Wallace archives in Austin. There’s a gallery of some of Wallace’s notes and annotations here, and, for Infinite Jest fans, a collection of deleted scenes here.
Some pretty neat stuff in here.

“AVC: Have your personal politics changed at all since you started the series?...”
– Brian K. Vaughan, creator of Ex Machina, giving a bit of a post-mortem at the A.V. Club. It’s nice to hear from Vaughan, a guy I’ve been thinking about a lot lately that got me motivated enough to get going on this path I’ve been on over the last couple of years. Nice to hear a bit...

Can we all just take a moment and agree that “That’s Right” on the new Girl Talk album is one of the most epic tracks of the year?
Correction: “Jump on Stage” now that I think about it. I predict I’ll update this post throughout the day as my mind changes. This update can be blamed on Ol’ Dirty mixed in with “Creep”.

– Tom Ford on his women’s collection. I’m not much of a fashion guy, not really at all to be honest. But there’s something about this guy that I find honest and true and I really respect.

sleeplessness #2.
I passed out around 8pm last night watching Louie. I woke up at 4am laughing hysterically, but completely embarrassed at my dream that night of hosting a panel at Comic Con and having no idea what I’m doing. Mostly because I was ten minutes late to the panel and my boss was filling in because I couldn’t find the room number. Not only was I flustered that I was late but because of that...

“Like a shark, you have to keep moving forward or you die.”
– Neil Gaiman. A lot of the time I feel like a shark that stops moving but can’t quite move on until the thing is as good as it can be. Which is why I’m wide awake at 4am because I have to keep moving.

Bad Alumni.
You know how I know I’m a bad Alumnus of St. Bonaventure? When my Dad informs me that the basketball team is playing tonight and I have no idea. This has been going on for years now and I think it’s all because I got him into this game. Which is significant because that’s the game that got us ranked and inevitably into the NCAA Tournament. At some point I’ll tell you the...

“Giving a paper.”
– There’s a large amount of venom in my body whenever I hear this phrase. I hear it all the time being in grad school. In my head, a British voice says it. Try it. The sense of superiority is astounding to me, the self-important air to it is incredibly obvious, and this is just in the word...

sleeplessness #1
Last night I woke suddenly at 5am. Just up and wide awake. This is what I wrote:
Can’t sleep, just had a half awake dream of Leighton Meister, Ed Westick, and Blake Lively from Gossip Girl having an all out Super Soaker fight but instead of water in the tubes it was battery acid. Ok, head pillow.

What’s happening? I mean: what is going on here? I feel like, suddenly, one day I’m filled with sadness. Last night, I’m rocking out and then talking about Libertarianism with Paul Pope. And now, I’m making jokes about dudes wearing turtlenecks. A paintball just hit my window.
