What's For Dinner?
tessipes:
Spaghetti with Pecorino Romano, Pancetta and Black Pepper
I’m stealing this recipe from this week’s The Week, but I’m adding pancetta because I am a wild and crazy lady.
The Week says: “This Roman dish is ‘the best quick meal’ we’ve ever tasted, said Yvonne Ruperti in Cook’s Illustrated. Though made with ‘just three main ingredients (cheese, pepper and pasta),’ it can still be...

Musicals blow. THEY BLOW! Don’t brag about your tickets to this year’s Crappy McCrapperson Tony Award Bullshit! (Unless they are tickets to Les Miz, CAN YOU HEAR THE PEOPLE SING!). Otherwise, UGH YOU SPENT $200 on TERRIBLE dinner theater entertainment. I am not jealous of you.
Ok, yeah, your baby is cute. And also you’re happy! What. WHAT. I get it. Babies. Yeah, I like them...

Another HBO Funny Or Die Presents trailer. This one’s got some Bronco Sanchez and Audra Mae cameos.
Yes, I do go by the name Bronco Sanchez…
Luis…you realize this means you’ve now been featured on the same network as OMAR LITTLE. Indeed, my man. Indeed.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure I know those kids. Honor Student on HBO — god bless you guys! I can’t WAIT to watch.

“I would have wanted to design religions. I’d have a little shop, and people would phone up or come into the shop and they’d say, ‘I’d like a religion’. And I’d say, ‘Cool, O.K. Where do you stand on guilt, and how do you want to fund it? And would you like sort of a belief in the universe as a huge beneficent organ? Or would you like something more complex?’ And they’d say,...
What's your freeway music?
go:
Everyone has it—that essential, must-have music in your car.
If you live in L.A., you definitely have songs you turn to on a regular basis that either make you want to speed up or calm down from a long day. Some people need classical or opera to calm their nerves, while they sit in traffic. Others are blasting to gansta rap.
So, what do you listen to? Do you think more people on all the...

Come on, bro. The idea to create The Complex Jersey Shore Soundboard was as easy as Snooki after two Jäger shots. What the streets demand, we deliver. That’s why we’ve compiled the greatest quotables from MTV’s greatest reality series for—dare we say—our greatest Soundboard ever. Yep, the whole Guido gang is here: Snickers, The Situation, Pauly D, Sammi “Is Not Really A”...

Happy Birthday Joseph from Honor Student and Michael Showalter
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE!
I’m not celebrating this. Broseph, you can call ME when you want to go out for your birthday, otherwise I am just going to IGNORE IGNORE IGNORE like you want me to do.
So UPS can email me as soon as it's failed to...
nickdouglas:
but they can’t call me to tell me they’re at the door and I should go downstairs?
Seriously, isn’t this the sort of problem that inspires startups?
I have this exact same problem every time I order something online. I have to go through the whole rigmarole of checking my front door for the UPS notice on a daily basis, signing it, leaving it, praying it doesn’t fall off...

Did you know that you can get little plastic tubs of all the things they give you at the beginning of a Korean meal, like crunchy seasoned bean sprouts, sesame spinach and red stewed tofu, at that Korean grocery store on 32nd btwn Broadway and 5th, for like $2 each, and then eat them for days whenever you are hungry? True story.

100% of UNICEF donations going to Haiti.

servemyworldblog:
One of my friends asked, “Who do I donate to for Haiti?” I’ve been obsessed with Aid and Development blogs and have been reading them for a while now and I learned this: Always go with someone who has EXPERIENCE in the country, who knows the culture and the political structure. UNICEF has been in Haiti since 1949.
100% of your donation goes directly to Haiti. As...
Terrence Malick, Kathryn Bigelow eye Taliban... →
skeetonmischa:
Two great directors interested in the same project happens most likely more often than we know. Sure, production companies will send their big scripts to any and all A-List directors, but when a director of Malick’s caliber circles the same project as a director Kathryn Bigelow’s caliber, it’s a win-win lose-lose situation. It’s a win because we’re going to get a film by one of...

Trailer for Eric Appel’s short film The Big Dog
My friend Eric directed and co-wrote this short film in collaboration with Funny Or Die, where he’s one of their talented in-house directors. It has an amazing cast, looks funny as hell, and is ridiculously well-made to boot. In short, I am jealous as hell. Fantastic work, Eric, I can’t wait to see the finished product.
Whoops, looks...

Donate to Haiti Relief through Unicef here!
Because I’m an awesome person and totally better than everybody, I already donate monthly to UNICEF*, but I just HAD to kick in some extra $$$ today. DO IT DO IT DO IT!
*Full disclosure…I only donate because if I ever meet Ewan McGregor I can tell him that he inspired me to be a more charitable person thanks to Long Way Round and Long Way...
HEY, LOS ANGELES: Let's do a tumblr talent show?

If I get us a venue that serves booze and some dope writers/performers to do a reading/storytelling/performances on a theme would you come? Just for kicks (and a low cover to pay the cost of the venue)?
I can sing ALL of Springsteen’s “Greetings From Asbury Park” a cappella. WHAT.
