Two nights ago I had a dream where my mom, my grandmother and I were on a trip.  My grandmother was very sick, and at one point in the dream, my mom called me into a bedroom to say goodbye to her.  I said goodbye, and that I would miss her, and my grandmother died.  I woke up at 6am, emotionally affected.  The grandmother from the dream did, in fact, die within the last year. I spoke to my mom...

Today on the subway ride home, Will and I found ourselves discussing the illustrious career of Tim Curry. Although we knew he’d been in a million things, we had trouble coming up with the specifics.

rickyv: CollegeHumor’s “Font Conference” Geez, our Editorial/Originals Dept keeps putting out winners. SO excited that this video finally came out.  I was part of the original conversation that spawned this idea (on the van ride home from filming Internet Commenter Funeral), and was lucky enough to be cast as Futura, showcasing my EXTREMELY ACCURATE futuristic robot voice.  I just love it.

This petition to get ABC Family’s Greek off the air makes me furious.  Not only does the show accurately portray many aspects of the Greek life, but it does so harmlessly, humorously and even positively (a sorority that gets caught hazing goes on alcoholic probation).  The people signing this petition are total squares.

jeffrubinjeffrubin: FX has ordered fifty two new episodes of the criminally underrated It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Just got back from the culinary masterpiece known as Le Bernadin.  Adam and I each got the tasting menu, which was 8 courses plus a couple extras.  The baked lobster asparagus was perhaps the best thing I’ve ever eaten.  That’s about all I can type right now, my belly is swollen with the dreams of foodies everywhere.
