Sara Bareilles is a Jerk

2008-03-22T16:59:00.000-07:00

Hey Sara! How are you doing? Good, good. Listen, can I talk to you for just a second? It's about us, I- well, I feel this relationship has gotten a little one-sided. I'm really putting myself out there for you, and I just feel like there's no reciprocation. I'm not asking for much, I know you've got your music career and that's a big, big responsibility, I understand that. But, take last week for example, when I rented out that movie theater to surprise you with "10 Things I Hate About You"? That's your favorite movie. You left halfway through because you didn't like the popcorn, and you didn't even say thanks or anything. Heath Ledger hadn't even serenaded her from the bleachers yet. It's really expensive to rent out a movie theater, you know. But I did it because I love you, you're worth it. And last month, the whole thing with the dinner I made. You went out to get a bottle of wine and came back with Burger King, that's just a big slap in the face to me. But that's the past. I'm not that upset, you did what you did, and I know you do love me, even when you don't say it. But do you think that maybe you could show me a little more? Oh, just anything. Could you write a little song for us or something? Nothing like a single for the radio or anything, just a little ditty for us, that'd be nice.

...1 week later...

I’m not gonna write you a love song
’cause you asked for it
’cause you need one, you see

I'm writing a movie script. It is very loosely based on a long, unhappy, terribly miserable two weeks in my life when I worked as an ice cream man and made 27 dollars. It's a comedy.

Speaking of which, do you know how I might be able to borrow an ice cream truck for two or three days?

This was my dream last night, as much as I can remember

2008-02-22T08:54:00.000-08:00

It starts off at the end of another dream. I'm in middle school, and a girl not very different from the Icebox (Little Giants) picks me up and throws me across a gym. I sail through the air, laughing hysterically, and crash into the gym teacher's office door. I feel my two front teeth, and the one that always breaks has once again broken. I look on the ground to find the missing piece, only to find a bunch of almonds.

SUDDENLY, I'm in the TV show Lost. I've never seen Lost. I'm the main character, the one who used to be a doctor. I think his name is Jack? The one Matthew Fox plays. Anyway, I'm him, and the girl he has a crush on or whatever found a Bible, and we're all trying to translate it. So I decide to put all the words in my mouth. Mind you, not the book itself, or the pages, but just the words are in my mouth. I think this was a great idea. The fat guy yells at me, and I get embarrassed and swallow all the words, which for some reason felt like I was swallowing hair.

Then my dream ended. The end.

Thoughts on New York

2008-02-16T18:03:00.000-08:00

I love New York. City. Coming from the stagnant, boring suburbs and malls of New Jersey into the towering heights of New York's edifices leaves me in awe every morning as I climb the staircase out of New York Penn Station onto the loud, dirty, and alive Seventh Avenue. I spent the first two years of my life in Manhattan, and the rest of my formative years just miles away from the island. As long as I can remember, I've always loved New York, and I've never been able to say why. I think now that I've been going in three days a week for the past month and a half or so, I am a little closer to understanding my infatuation. It has something to do with the amount of... everything, I guess. The amount of people, of commerce, of architecture, of design, of technology, of culture, of variety, of everything! Sometimes I stop to think of what I am in, witnessing, being a part of, and I find myself coming back to reality ten minutes later. It's refreshing.

My Thoughts on the Writers' Strike

2008-01-04T13:16:00.001-08:00

The WGA strike continues, pressing on steadfastly in the face of unrelenting douchebaggery. As an aspiring comedy writer/filmmaker/general funny guy, I've been thinking a lot about it. Of course the writers deserve a fair dollar for their work, but there are a lot of people being peripherally affected by this strike: the actors, the cameramen, the secretaries, the janitors, etc. But there's one important issue that no one is addressing.

I graduate in May. AMPTP and WGA, please settle by then, as I'd like to be able to look for a job when I graduate college.

Telephone Phone Digits Number

2008-01-03T09:42:00.000-08:00

I came across this while entering data at my temp job today:

I feel like I should blur out the numbers, but if someone actually wanted to call this number, where would they start? "770" or "404", or maybe skip some of them? It's not even as if they accidently just wrote the area code twice. Each sequence of digits is different. This baffles me.

Update (1/4/08):

Came across this today, too:

Do you think that there's just one person filling all these out? And that person has never used a phone before?

Mucinex- No Longer "Da Bangins"

2008-01-02T13:54:00.001-08:00

I got to work today and took my daily morning noseblast of that beauteous nasal fluid, Mucinex. I logged into my computer and began my morning internet routine- check Gmail, check feeds, Wikipedia something stupid I thought of on the way to work, and generally avoid doing what it is that I'm being paid to do. Twenty minutes later, right on cue, my nose was full of soft mucus membranes, ready to be ejected from my nostrils into the cold brown paper towel that would be their transport to the trash can of their inevitable demise. They ejected, and as I was folding up the paper towel to deposit in the trash can, I saw the slightest bit of red sticking out. I unfolded the napkin, to find those mucus membranes I wanted out of my body mixed up with a fluid I very much wanted to remain inside my body: blood. A lot of it. I threw away the towel and looked at the side of the Mucinex bottle:

Directions: Take two shots up each clogged nostril. (check) Repeat every 10-12 hours as needed. (check) Do not exceed more than twice within a 24-hour period. (check) Do not take for more than three days. (...uh oh)

Today is day... five? Six, maybe? Mucinex, you have betrayed me. No more shall you be the one to comfort my nasal passages in their snotty rush hour of need.

Happy New Year

Puppet Theater

2007-12-29T15:17:00.001-08:00

I've recently taken to muting the TV while I'm doing something else in the room. It's cool, though it depends on what the program is. Certain things it doesn't work with, such as Arrested Development, where the dialogue is where a majority of the show's appeal comes from. But it's really cool if you have a super bang-em-up action movie on, like Terminator or something.

I was doing this just now. Ronin was on some local channel and I had it on mute while I was surfing the web. A really good part came on and I decided to unmute it, and realized that "some local channel" was actually Telemundo. Kind of ruined it for me.

Also, isn't it cool when you see an actor in one commercial that you've seen in other commercials before? It connects you to them, in a way. I saw the weird roommate from the Sprint "Fav 5" commercials in a Mastercard commercial, and I just saw some dude in a medicine commercial pretending to be a magician that I'm sure I've seen somewhere else.

Anyway, got to go. Seinfeld's on mute.

2007-12-23T00:16:00.000-08:00

Today I saw saw my very first New York City street fight. Well, fight isn't really being fair. It was one guy literally beating the piss out of the other guy. Something about disrespek or peeps, or whatever. There were a lot of things being yelled.

Watching someone's skull bounce between a fist and the sidewalk really helps you put your own problems in perspective.
"Crap, I'm broke. O well, at least my head's ok."
"My car broke down, but my jaw's not broken."
"They found the body. But hey, is the head still on? It is? Shit, they can identify it. OK man, I need you to do me a solid. Get your mom's car. No, the one with the big trunk. Dude, come on, this is when friends need friends. Please? Come on man, I'd do it for you. Fine, you're such a dick. Let me just borrow her car then?"

Also, I played Mario Kart: Double Dash for the first time since freshman year tonight, and apparently, I don't suck anymore! Certainly, I am by no means up to T8 Quad standards of play, but the Double Dasher I was is no longer the Double Dasher I am today.

I was thinking today about wedding dresses for pregnant women. Hey, Alabama girls deserve to look pretty on their big day, too. Is there a secret industry of pregnant wedding dresses that we just don't hear about? Someone has to make them, right? I mean, it's not like they just let the normal ones out. Does one specialize in just pregnant wedding dresses, or are pregnant wedding dresses a subset of a wedding dress designer's catalogue? Are they custom made for each bride, or do they have a series of dress templates that they adjust for the brides? Should the child be allowed at the altar? Do they make fake teeth sets for the husband and bride's photo shoot? Are mullets taken into account for husbands? What about the #8 Earnhardt patch he wants to put across his back?

Someone has to think about this stuff for a living.

On Wii Play and Racism

2007-12-20T12:35:00.000-08:00

Nintendo has a game out called Wii Play that consists of 7 or 8 different games, arranged similarly to Wii Sports, except these games are all mostly just for fun. Theres Tanks, Pose Mii, Table Tennis, and Charge! (Where you ride a cow. It's awesome.)

But there's one game in particular I want to address, called Find Mii. From Wikipedia:

Crowds of Mii characters will gather on the screen, standing, swimming, walking and doing other things, and the player is given certain details to look for among them. The player then must pick out the Miis that match the objective. The objectives range among finding two to five identical Miis; finding the fastest Mii; choosing a favorite and finding it again; or finding the "odd Miis out" (doing things that other Miis aren't).

It seems innocent enough, but this game is a thinly veiled attempt to encourage audience onlookers to participate in extreme racism. And it succeeds. Multiple times in the game, I heard multiple phrases which left me aghast, mostly at the fact that I found myself to be the one saying them. Among them,

The Jew in the bottom right!
The black chick with the fro!
The old bitch with the frown!
The guy with the chinky eyes!

I found myself surprised to be saying these things, but there I was, glued to the screen in total concentration. It is a simple enough premise, yet is absolutely fucking impossible to get any kind of grip on, let alone master. You start off with four Miis, looking for the two twins. Easy enough. Then there's six Miis walking across the screen on a crosswalk, and you have find the fastest one. (Hint: He's running.) Kid stuff. All of a sudden, you'll be presented with a screen filled with roughly 30 Miis swimming, riding an ecalator, running across traffic, and you have to find the one whose step is out of line with everyone else's. It's the only game that has actually made me stand up and scream at the television in a long, long time. And I wasn't even playing.

Also, I played Rock Band. It sucks.

Just getting started...
