This came up on the A.V. Club’s Best Television Episodes of the Year list. I like being reminded at times of how hilarious The Daily Show is, even after 10+ years.

Things I think about while watching The Dark...
In the diegesis of the last two Batman movies, Batman is such a recent phenomenon that kids probably don’t sing “Jingle bells, Batman smells,” and I think that’s really sad, and no matter how realistic Chris Nolan tries to make these movies, I’ll never imagine them as such.

Things that are fun.
Getting whiskey hammered before 5 P.M., going to a Junior Varsity basketball game that you nearly get kicked out of after joining your father in verbally harassing a referee, getting PWNED by your 16 year-old brother in a game to 21 at an abandoned court, and following it all up by drinking 2 bottles of wine and criticizing the logic of Home Alone 2: Lost in New York with your best friends.

Home.
No matter what, even when my life is totally falling apart, I always feel infinitely more relaxed/like a normal person when I’m home. I can’t believe I avoid this place so much.

& i'm currently eating a loaf of bread.
cosmicfriend: synecdoche: in the past two days, i’ve baked cookies four times & drank eighteen cans of ginger ale while watching eleven movies. i need to get out of my house. I thought bread looked gross.  Was that a lie too? Only bread that Pilot doesn’t see made or make herself.

More thoughts on "Lost" -or- What if Michael was a...
In the scene at the end of season 2, Michael screams at Klugh to let him see Walt, and he sounds exactly like rum-drunk Chandler. Also, when Locke asks Eko, “Do you want to be a slave?” is the funniest unintentional racism ever.

Pitchfork Media's Top 50 Albums of 2008. →
Analysis? I liked the Fleet Foxes record, but I wouldn’t pick it as number one. It makes me feel bad for Portishead. They seem to be making every single year-end list (mine included), but they’re eternally stuck at number 2 or 3. I was really let down by their top 100 singles of the year (Really? Some bullshit faux-disco track by Hercules and Love Affair?), but this list wasn’t...

Alcoholic Energy Drinks Will No Longer Be Sold In... →
synecdoche: This might be the worst news ever. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have passed my last two years of college without the existence of Sparks. I just died a little bit on the inside. However, it was slightly less than every Sparks I drink probably kills me on the inside.

Question for Tumblr
halffiction: daveholmes: spytap: If you could do anything and know you wouldn’t fail - not necessarily succeed beyond your wildest expectations, just that by your own measures you would be successful - what would you do? Since I posed it, I’ll answer first: I’d open my own microbrewery. Really good question. I think I’d run some kind of production company/theater/publishing house/commune....

FUCK YOU, MOM & DAD!
Now, I’m not normally one to blame things on my parents, especially not at age 22. However, I deposited a check in my bank account two days ago that should have cleared yesterday, but didn’t because my bank got confused when the check said “Nick Psillas” and my bank account said “John Psillas,” and refused to process the check until they found out the whole...

To be fair, they were like $250 Burberry slacks.
I had a nightmare today that involved me accidentally washing a pair of pants that are dry-clean only. The disturbing thing about this to me is that I’ve suppressed my actual real world problems so much that even my subconscious can’t recognize what I should actually be worrying about.

Re: Michelle Rodriguez
The most relevant thing watching Lost has done is convince me that I absolutely hate this bitch in everything she’s in. It’s not even so much that she’s a bad actress, she just plays every fucking awful character in the goddamn universe.

Album of the Year #330*
I’ve taken on a pretty monolithic personal challenge this year in trying to listen to as many records that are released in the year 2008 as I possibly can. I’m listening to each record I acquire, from front to back, no skipping songs, no fast forwarding through blank space, no leaving it on while I leave the room to do anything. I have a running list of what I’ve listened to over...

why do i know these people?
synecdoche: jim: let’s get ripped and go to a titty bar! chandy: say titty bar again. jim: titty bar! titty bar! chandy: your eyebrows go up. jim: yeah, ‘cause i’m saying titty! Those faggots are all talk. I can guarantee you both of them would be happier spending an evening watching some beefcake dude spin his dick around like a helicopter in front of their faces.
