Sharing Time!

And what a sweet horse it is.

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 21:32:05 -0400

I’m taking a break from blogging for a bit. I’m hoping to spend more time writing (my sketch writing class begins in a week and a half!) long-form type things and less time thinking about funny one-liners to post.

Definitely email me if there are meetups and keep in touch! I’m sure I’ll be back on the blogging horse soon.

I’ve been on a kick of listening to female singer/songwriters lately. This is a new development for me, as I once noted years ago that I couldn’t name more than one or two bands I liked with a female lead singer.

Maybe I’ve gone soft in my old age.

When you're too busy to type "Thank you"...

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 11:36:00 -0400

…simply type “thx”! It’s the perfect way to let that special someone know you don’t care about them enough to type out eight entire characters, you lazy fuck.

Easy way to lower your Time Warner Cable bill

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 19:43:50 -0400

It takes about 15 minutes. Just call Time Warner and say, “I’m switching to Verizon FiOS for their $99 a month package (feel free to make up your own price - I did). What can you do for me?”

My bill was lowered $30 a month. Not bad! Perhaps celebrating by lighting $30 dollars on fire was ill advised, but whatever.

I am morally obligated to reblog any Clem Snide related post. This is one of my favorites.

I’ve done a lot of growing up over these past years.

Old Lee: Gets sad, walks around neighborhood listening to Radiohead on Walkman.

New Lee: Gets sad, walks around neighborhood listening to Radiohead on iPod.

I actually took this picture last week! I’m shocked it came out so well.

Oh, and the Phillies won tonight in extra innings! Good stuff.

NYT: Excerpts From the Spanish Diary by Woody Allen

NYT: Excerpts From the Spanish Diary by Woody Allen:

JAN. 2

Have no idea for Barcelona unless the story of the two Hackensack Jews who start a mail-order embalming firm could be switched

JUNE 5

Shooting got off to a shaky start. Rebecca Hall, though young and in her first major role, is a bit more temperamental than I thought and had me barred from the set. I explained the director must be present to direct the film. Try as I may, I could not convince her and had to disguise as man delivering lunch to sneak back on the set

JUNE 30

Dailies are looking good, and while Javier’s idea to add a massive Martian invasion scene complete with a thousand costumed extras and elaborate flying saucers is not a very good one, I will shoot it to make him happy and cut it in the editing room.

AUG. 25

End production today. Wrap party as usual a little sad. Slow danced with Scarlett. Broke her toe. Not my fault. When she dipped me back, I stepped on it.

It’s not fair that he’s so old and still funnier than I’ll ever be. Worth the read.

You can get fakes on ebay, but music clearances apparently make it impossible for it to come out legally.

I would like a way to permanently ban inspirational quotes from my dashboard without having to filter for quotes.

Marco, can you work on this please?

Any smart people want to explain this to me at the top of an email I got at work?

“Return-Path:
Received: from murder ([unix socket])”

From murder?!?!? I’m not sending out an email ever again.

Guy: And then we had a jumper on the trains today. That's why it took me so long to get to work.
Girl: Oh, those are the worst!
Guy: Yeah, and they HAVE to jump at peak hours.

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 16:51:50 -0400

“I was thinking how easily people get stuck in places. I mean, first of all you need a place to live, and they put you on a lease so you have to stay a certain amount of time, and then you need a job to pay for your place to live, but in order to get to a job you need a car, so you pay for car insurance, which is way too expensive, and the cost of gas which is also too expensive. So you’re basically working to pay for things that only facilitate the working, and maybe have a little on the side to buy big things to put in your house that’ll be a hassle to move if you want to leave, and not worth as much if you re-sell them, so you just stay in hte same place paying for all this worthless crap just because you wanted a job.”

Yep. And there’s nothing you can do about it short of moving to the middle of nowhere and living off the land.
