Friday Funhouse: Bruuuuuce Springsteen


Tonight, K and I dance. To Bruce Springsteen. Live. In Baltimore.

So I was (naturally) listening to an inordinate amount of Springsteen this week. And I was kicking around the ol' YouTube yesterday when I stumbled across this gem:

My favorite song, performed by my favorite band. How did I not know about this before?

Anyway, I'll have an update tomorrow with a setlist, highlights and lowlights (ha!). But for now it's BRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCE.

Wolf. Business cards.

So a few days ago I asked ya'll to design a business card for me. (Don't worry if you haven't finished yours yet; this post doesn't have to signal the end of your generosity.)

So I received one submission so far. Everyone else, try and beat this:

Now this is going to go through a few minor changes (all the contact information will probably be moved to the back, with just me and the wolves on the front) but you get the gist of it.

For all of your wolf business card needs, Lanny Hoang ladies and gentlemen.

Conan O'Brien, Andy Richter, and Zach Galifianakis. My mind just exploded.


Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis is back, baby! And you know it's a pretty decent sketch when the LEAST funny person in it is Conan O'Brien.

Wanted: Graphic designer/ artistic reader with nothing to do


So I turned 25 a few weeks ago, and since then I've done a lot of reflecting. Mostly about whether or not to start Jonathan Stewart and sit Marion Barber on my fantasy football team (I did not) or whether to listen to Radiohead's "Kid A" or "Amnesiac" (both was my final decision), but reflecting nonetheless.

And in that reflectionary period, I realized that while I write for a living, I don't really do much writing. Let me explain. Yes I sit on here once a day and spout off about Miley Cyrus or Patton Oswalt movies or instant macaroni and cheese, and during the day I sit at a desk and write stories for a newspaper. But in terms of long-form, creative writing? Zilch.

So that's going to change. I started thinking about how I'm going to fix that, and instead of doing things like a.) opening Microsoft Word, or b.) turning off Monday Night Football, I thought about business cards.

Bingo. Everyone needs a sweet ass business card right? People will be lining up to read my stuff if I grease their palms with a sassy business card!

So here's the deal. I know a lot of you are creative, artistic, unemployed, and most likely a combination of those three. So create a business card for me! I'll have my favorite ones printed up, and I'll of course pimp whatever kind of business you may or may not have ON THIS VERY SITE.

A few tips:

-Okay one tip. Just incorporate my name somehow.

Note: I will probably not pay you. Maybe in hugs. Or an expired 2009 Entertainment Book.

Here are some awesome examples that Chris Hardwick (@Nerdist) recently had his (millions of) followers create for him.





As you can see from the lead image, graphic design is not my forte. So go forth, minions, and do they bidding. Or completely ignore this post and wonder why I don't write stupid crap about Sesame Street anymore.

(And yes, I realize how cheap this post makes me look.)

Twilight, Three Wolf Moon style

You like this shirt. That's not a question, it's a fact.

How about Twilight. I could care less about it, but everyone and their damn mother seems to be chattin it up like it's the new Jersey Girl, or Citizen Kane, or some equally awesome movie.

What if I told you you could combine the two?

BOO YAH.


P.S.- I received the bad ass shirt below for my birthday last week. I imagine I will wear it to the candlelight service on Christmas Eve.
