Eating My Way Through Major American Cities
I’ve been on the road quite a bit for the past month, and in the process, I have done a lot of eating. While it has not helped me keep my girlish figure, it has done wonders for my cultural and gastronomic awareness, and has often elicited girlish squeals of delight.
Best Thing I Ate In Portland
The pulled pork poutine, at Potato Champion (around 7th & S.E. Hawthorne, I think). Joey and I...

New Haven Secret Society Note
The secret society known as Skull & Bones is ultra-powerful, and apparently nice on the inside, but hides behind a nondescript exterior. The Yale University beautification committee noticed this, and now the headquarters of the secret cabal behind countless presidential elections and titanic economic maneuvers has a small collection of plants on its withered front lawn, arranged in the shape...

Last week, I watched Teen Cribs before work with Joey and Chris. The show was generally pretty predictable: the cribs all featured terrible art, elaborate outdoor plumbing, and indoor volleyball courts; the teens featured Ed Hardy-inspired clothing and lots of bangs. However, one teen also had a father in his sixties, whose name was Justin.

WatchMy friend and fellow elevator astronaut Louis Katz was on Jimmy Fallon last night. The highlight came when he did his marching band joke in front of the Roots’ tuba player, Damon “Tuba Gooding Junior” Bryson.
“I’m complaining about marching band in front of the first guy since John Phillip Sousa to get some ass from playing the tuba.”

Osama bin Laden: Making the Video →
Here’s an old piece I wrote back in 2002 for the Squelch, full of extremely timely references to Carson Daly, Hype Williams, and the defunct MTV show, “Making the Video”.
Excerpt:
The Vision 11:52 AM
Director Hype Williams: Osama had a vision for this video. First, he was going preach into the camera in High Arabic for an unbroken 40 minutes. Then, he was going to fire...
