Feeling a bit better this morning - I’d say only 90% of humanity is horrible, as opposed to the 95% poll numbers taken last night in my angry mind. Oh, there was genuine Italian Nutella on the table this morning, so, 89%, factoring in Italians who make Nutella.
Anyways, David Bowie turned 65, and even though I should despise him for still being better-looking than I’ll ever be, I...

Fuck You Awards - Last Week
APPLE - My MBPro hard drive crapped out after 10 months. This was a gift from a friend while I was recovering from surgery, and the warranty still covered it, but still, that’s a bit of coin for something to die so quickly. So fuck you and your precious, expensive, beautifully designed shit, that make grown men and women sleep in the street like a bunch of fucking half-wits so they CAN...

WatchRobert Klein, Saturday Night (Live), 1975.
I’ve been re-watching the first season on Netflix. It’s fascinating to see how they got this thing on its feet, had no idea what they were doing, and still pulled it off. Even though none of the Not Ready For Prime Time Players are featured here, this was one of the earliest bits I remember telling my classmates about the following Monday.

Hey, producers who remake material younger than they are: fuck you. There are thousands of original, vibrant, new, exciting ORIGINAL screenplays out there, so fuck you in your lazy, whorish, toothless, dead Red-Bull-and-Vodka hole you call a mouth.

Before he wrote The IT Crowd, Graham Linehan (and Dylan Moran) created one of the greatest sitcom characters of all time: Bernard Black.

Wait. What?: Kim Deal is still my hero →
pomvox:
I don’t know even where to begin with this without sounding like a loser, but if you liked music and weren’t Josie and the Pussy Cats pretty, or a Joan Jett tough chick or super Punk like the CBGB crowd, suddenly on the scene was Kim Deal, looking like the rest of us and not giving a shit, proudly quirky, playing bass in a band with the boys and holding her own. It was huge. And...

How should writers choose names for their characters?
Some writers like to use old yearbooks or pick a name from the newspaper. I like to think of old friends from special times in my life and play with those names a bit. For example, the lead character in my current screenplay is named Kathy Blowjob.
What are good things to do during long international flights?
Fuck you.
I deep-fried chicken wings for the first time. Only two people died.
Even with only 140 characters to go by, I can tell some of you need a bath.

I saw them live, finally, for the first time, Saturday night at the Music Box in Hollywood. Doors opened at 7:30, show started promptly at nine. 40+ year-old me would like to thank them for sticking to the schedule. At 9pm, I am usually in my schmatta. (Side note: The Frolic Room is a great fucking bar.)
Up in the balcony looking down, I could only see Kim Deal and David Lovering, which was...
Feel bad for UC Davis kids, but then someone at work did not make more coffee after finishing it and now I want pepper spray.
