Domestic Bliss
I just called my roommate/partner in hibernation, Ben, under the guise of “Whatchya doin?” with the secret purpose of casually throwing out that it’d be cool if he picked up chocolates on his way home. Before I could even sneak it in he said he was just getting out of the Yankee’s game and bringing back a load of candy bars for us. How sweet it is! Literaaaallly.

Homework!
“Oh, and before you leave I have one more assignment,” I said to the class.
Naturally, this news was met with audible disgust from my students.
“The assignment…is to have a great weekend!” I said, smiling now as the groans quickly transformed into a wave of cheers. “Now get out of here!”
For the most part, all of my students did particularly well on that assigment and were awarded “A’s” -...
WatchI hosted this special edition of PAPER TV at the Paper Magazine 25th Anniversary Gala at the New York Public Library. For some reason I introduce the video at about 40 seconds in, just switching things up, keeping it real, adding some flavor… don’t know where I’m going with this.

Also worth reading: Rachel Shukert’s take on BBYO conventions. Anybody who grew up Jewish and was in a Jewish youth group received far more oral sexin’ than they Goyim peers. Fact. I’ve written about the phenomenon of Jewish Youth Groups as criminal rackets here.

I was curled up comfortably watching TV with one of my friends last night when I realized I hadn’t checked the internet in over five hours. OH SHIT. Blogs could have been created and destroyed in that amount of time— entire RSS’s moved and reconfigurated. I had to check to make sure things were still in place. During commercial break (because I may be addicted but at least am...

Me: Pierce, I am turning 21 not 20

Never thought to tumble from temple before but then again I’ve also never seen a cantor perform a rendition of Coldplay’s “I will fix you” on electric guitar. Being one of about 10 people under forty in attendance, about a quarter of the congregation got up and walked out. Priceless.

I’m working on LA time today which means I came in at 5 and probably won’t be leaving until 11. The “office manager” greeted me with a cheese platter, salmon, chicken french, pasta salad, grilled zuchinni, blueberry tartcakes, and chocolate covered strawberries. Late shift is not so bad.
Now taking offers:
The day before Bea Arthur’s death I changed my default photo on facebook to her likeness with the words “Don’t you wish your girlfriend was hot like Bea” Waiting for my plane I bought internet and watched about twenty Dirty Dancing montages & the next day Patrick Swayze peaces out. Considering becoming a psychic celebrity hit man.
