One way to determine if you like someone
You’re at dinner with this person at a restaurant and they leave to go to the bathroom. And they’re gone just long enough so that when they come back, you have the opportunity to take them all in again. And you do.

I had them taking it all, but I can still win my pool even though they won’t. All that has to happen now is the tournament ends after UNC wins today and somehow declares Gonzaga the champions!
Neil LaBute in NY Times Profile →
One of my favorite playwrights gets profiled in the Times Mag. He wasn’t particularly nice to me when I met him, but that’s because I’m a douche to people I like.
Update: according to the article, they’re softening his great new play “reasons to be pretty” before it moves to Broadway, I guess to appease the tourists who can’t handle truth. So sad. It was...

“We laugh, that we may not cry.”
– Roger Ebert (via Vulture and Ebert)
In the old days of Compuserve and Prodigy, my friend and I emailed Roger Ebert. I was about 13. He wrote us back an hour or two later. I was struck at how amazing technology was and how nice of a man Ebert was to write back.
And now, over three hundred and...

SAFESEXTING
Called “sexting” when it’s done by cell phone, teenagers’ habit of sending sexually suggestive photos of themselves and others to one another is a nationwide problem that has confounded parents, school administrators and law enforcers.

Sexting is a real problem, folks. But this is one social issue where the government and parents need to step back...

slateinbrief:
Wouldn’t you prefer the service actually fucking worked?
From the article:
“I don’t see how this ad would sway you to pick Comcast over another company. We choose our bundled cable packages based on price, range of products and features, quality of customer service, and availability in our area. Not because of a cute song and a lame interactive Web environment.”

Sharingtime giggles.
Dude: What's so funny?
Sharingtime: If you must know, I was thinking about peace, love and understanding.
Dude: What's so funny about that?
Sharingtime: Hmm. Come to think of it... nothing. Now that I feel it slippin' away, it just makes me want to cry.
Dude: Stop being a pussy and think about something else.
Sharingtime: Ok. No more crying.
Sharingtime cries.
Dude: What're you thinking about now?
Sharingtime: Alison.
Dude: Ok. Now that's something to cry over.

Andy Richter interview in AV Club →
“… [Fox] had a really young, energetic development staff that seemed fairly devoted, especially in comedy, to putting on interesting, funny, good stuff. And it would get up to a certain point on the corporate structure, then it would hit a wall of not-understanding. Like the people who were right next to the big piles of money would sort of say, “Where’s the car crashes and the big...
This new Decemberists album is decidedly less whimsical than their older stuff. I’m not sure how to feel about it. I think it’ll take some getting used to.

Wisdom
Starbucks prints nuggets of wisdom from all walks of life on their coffee cups. Their customers find this to be a smooth tonic to combat the harshness of the $4 price tag and the bitterness of the shitty coffee inside.
What if other restaurants started printing quotes on their cups?
