I keep forgetting to mention the work I’ve been doing for other people over the past few months. Well, perhaps not “forgetting” as much as “avoiding mentioning how often I am asked to play variations on a whore.” I don’t always say yes, but when it’s my hilarious friends or Conan O’Brien asking, I […]
Over hamburgers and beers, my friend, Firedove*, was telling me about a recent heartbreak. “So FINALLY, he kissed me on the street and then pulled back and said ‘Hi’! Then I punched him in the arm and said ‘that’s dumb’. Then he never called me! I thought he liked me! WHAT HAPPENED??”

Do you hate football? Love short films? Well have I got the ticket for you!

My video, Amy At The Club got to the top of Digg.com last week with 4424 Diggs. As a result, a few things happened:
