I would make a similar sacrifice for my people…if the food in question were salt and vinegar potato chips.

I’m leaving this letter on the floor of the food silo to address some recent transgressions in behavior. I may tape a copy up in Sleep Pod 2, if I can find a piece of tape and have time to transcribe it between harvesting and fighting off bugmen. Why not post it in Sleep...

We don’t make movies to make money, we make money to make more movies.

I’m working on a great, funny little short. Absurd - and absurdly real - characters, dressed as a hot dog and a bun. The perfect, co-dependent pair.
They can exist separately, but neither is as good without the other.
Please consider pitching in:

Today, I wore my red Chuck Taylors for the last time.
I’ve had them since 2005. I love them! They have been great! Yes, they are totally juvenile. And, yes, they were completely falling apart. And, yes, they are totally replaceable.
But today was the end.
Did they...

I hope this happens, not just because the passage of SOPA would be unimaginably destructive to society on so many levels, but also because this would be interesting as hell. Like a temporary digital apocalypse…

Today I worked on a commercial shoot in which I played a waitress and delivered the same pizza to the same (fake) table probably 85 times. At least. Not exaggerating not even by maybe like 15 or 20 repetitions.
It gave me a new-found appreciation for the forearm strength...

I think the sexual undertones of this make it an obviously bad choice for vows.

My honey and I are writing our own vows, so I have been looking for inspiration in literature from around the globe. A lot of this stuff just won’t do.

Went to a Cubs game last week courtesy of my sister-from-another-mother Jess. First game I’ve been to this year. Had a healthy amount of beer and bison hotdog with (ready?) chili, sport peppers, tomato, onion, celery salt, and (get ready to puke) …sauerkraut!

I was a reader today for some commercial auditions. I read with approximately 40 or 50 men. Can that be right? That seems crazy. It was scheduled for 6.5 hours and a person every 5 minutes - that’s 78 people. I don’t think I read with 78 people. I think I read with 40. Ish....
