Halloween Update
It’s 4:41 in the morning. I’m sober (stopped drinking at once we got to UCB). I’m going to eat chicken and rice, watch Little Shop of Horrors on Netflix, and go to bed happy and content.
I was ‘Wayne Dressed as a Construction Worker to Spy on Cassandra’ from Waynes World 2.
Stephen Colbert’s Sunday School →
An good article on Colbert’s Catholicism. I’ve always been fascinated by that part of his personality, being a Catholic wannabe-comedian myself.
Also, I learned on The View that he’s married to a Presbyterian! Is it bad my immediate reaction was, “Oh sweet, that’s allowed?!”
Amazing Discovery of the Day
On John Mayer’s album Room for Squares, the chorus of “My Stupid Mouth” (“I’m never speaking up again”) is repeated softly in the background of the next song on the album, “Your Body is a Wonderland” with the addendum “I’ll use my hands.”
Yeah, I listen to John Mayer at work.

Apparently that video is part of a larger project: Kermit the Frog singing depressing music.
I’m glad this exists.
Cleaning!
I cleaned my entire apartment today. Kitchen, bathroom, living room, bedroom. The only room left untouched was my roommate’s. All the counters and sinks, the floors, the tub and mirror. Everything. You could conceive a baby in this apartment. That’s how clean it is.
Cleaning is strangely cathartic. Anytime I feel a little down or confused about life, I clean. It’s a good...

In Case You Missed It of the Day: Kenan Thompson as Jimmy McMillan of The Rent Is Too Damn High Party on last night’s SNL.

Baseball Trivia Corner
There is no difference between the music I listen to when I’m upset about a girl and when I’m upset that the Phillies lost the NLCS.
Dear Giants
First of all, congrats. That was a hell of a series. Nobody gave you guys a chance against the Phillies, and you came into Citizens Bank Park and told everyone, “No, this is a series.” Seriously, every game was a nail biter and your entire team consistently came up in clutch situations.
Second, I don’t think it could happen to a nicer team. The Giants haven’t won a World...
An actually kind of funny right of center anti-Boxer ad. Created by David Zucker, of Airplane fame.
I don’t find most liberal political humor funny, usually because it’s aimed at conservatives and I find myself sputtering “But… but…!” at every punchline.

lauraturnergarrison:
this situation is more baffling than the actual plot of inception.
dangurewitch:
Well, this is interesting. South Park essentially plagiarized Inception Characters Don’t Understand Inception, a sketch written by me and David Young a few months ago.
I’m conflicted, because I absolutely adore South Park. I admire Trey Parker and Matt Stone more than almost anyone currently...

An interview with I Fight Dragon’s Brian Mazzaferri. New 7 song EP end of the month!
I actually have a non-depressing audio upload (new I Fight Dragons!) but tumblr is limiting audio uploads to one per day. Was it always like this? Boo!

Vag Magazine Episode 1, “Fumbling Toward Ecstasy”
Vag Magazine founders Sylvie, Fennel, and Bethany lay out their editorial vision for Vag shortly after buying out fashion magazine Gemma with the proceeds from their Etsy shop. Staffers Heavy Flo and Reba are on board, but lone Gemma holdover Meghan is skeptical.
I’m demographically the last person you’d expect to love...

This is an awesome video of highlights from the regular season. Prepare for goosebumps!
PHILLIES TONIGHT @ 7:57!!!!!
Submitted by Courtneywagner. This is a great video. If for some reason you have any doubt about this team, you have to watch. It did give me goosebumps. Thank you for sharing!

That's the plan, sister.

Heather: oh god move back to brooklyn already
It's been a while since I wrote anything good.
The last good thing I wrote on this blog was my post about fall. I liked that a lot. Then Fall decided to make me look like a douche by alternating between 80 degrees and sunny and 65 degrees and raining. THANKS A LOT, FALL. In fall’s defense, I posted that at the end of summer. I probably should’ve waited till early October to post that.
An Apology
With the 200th anniversary almost here, I’d just like to apologize to everyone for causing the War of 1812.
