I’m watching Ricky Schroeder on Mortified and he has cried literally every five minutes without exaggeration. At first I thought, “How sweet! He’s not afraid to be vulnerable!” But then I realized he needs to get hooked up with a good psychiatrist and get on some meds immediately. I mean, seriously. Quickly.

This is perfect and also made me miss Kurt Cobain.

Dudes. There are a lot of podcasts out there. To quote my friend JOHN SILVER (@BlueLanugo on Twitter), “If there are only 7 billion people in the world, how come there are over 9 billion podcasts? I think some people are doing more than one.”
With podcasts too numerous to sift and sort…
I agree with this review.
So just this year I started really liking nail polish DON’T FALL ASLEEP IT GETS BETTER, and in so doing I stumbled across this hilariously insane woman, Lynderella, who makes amazing nail polish. Who knew that the stereotype of “genius artist = crazy person” could possibly hold true for a nail polish designer, but it really does. This is some really good nail polish, guys. I...

Me: Why do you think George Clooney always picks these vapid, boring women? I’ll tell you, because they are beards. I don’t think he’s gay though, I think that George Clooney would be fine with being gay. I think that he probably has some weird, fucked up proclivities. Like, he likes to be hung up from the rafters and whipped or something. He uses a ball gag and just gets...
Russell Brand on WTF was amay-zang (sorry). It’s like sitting in on a therapy session, and I love therapy! And he’s a vegetarian and meditates and talks about meditation, so the only question is why he was with Katy Perry in the first place. I’m not talking about her music (although I’m also not not talking about it), she just seems like the exact opposite of him. ...
I am self conscious of getting all gushy about Brett on here SO I WON’T, howevs, I will say that I love not only that he’s on pinterest and fills it with things he loves (motorcycles, tattoos, tools probably—I don’t know, I’m guessing) but he also started a board just for me—things my wife should rock—and can I just say IT’S THE MOST AWESOME BOARD...

“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.
Because if you are making...”
– This made me tear up, because Brett sent it to me after a discussion we had about how I’ve been drawing lately and I’m doing it in spite of feeling like I don’t have an innate talent for it. That feeling has stopped me from doing it more, but this quote is propelling me forward. ...

Autocorrect really wants me to look like a weirdo to my friend Carla, and only my friend Carla, for some odd reason.
It tried to tell her, “my son probed me wrong” instead of proved, and, “I hope your sister is soiling you!” instead of spoiling you.
I mean, gross.
WEIRDEST CONVERSATION I’VE HAD IN AWHILE:
Me: Do you validate?
Pharamicist clerk: Only for the first 20 minutes. But you can buy 20 minute validation stamps for $2.00 each.
Me: But it only costs $1.20 every 20 minutes to park here.
PC: Yeah.
Me: That’s more than it would cost for me to just pay for the ticket without validation.
PC: Yeah.
Me: That doesn’t make any...

“So this year, I am going to relax about the time tables. I have the love of my life and hilarious beautiful creative children surrounding me, and they keep me magnetized and pulled close to them, and so if that means that it’s going to take longer to get to where I want to be, that’s fine. I am getting there with good...

CORNY POST OF THE YEAR JUST IN TIME FOR THE END OF THE YEAR!!
You guys I have been so happy lately it would embarrass hipsters all over the world (and my mother). It’s the smallest things that just make me feel so grateful. When I go on my run I just feel so full of happiness looking at the mountains and the trees. I’m so happy I live here. I’m grateful for LOS ANGELES. And...

WatchI don’t know Allan well at all, but I do know he’s been nothing but extremely nice every time I’ve spoken to him. Which is unfortunate, because now I’ll have to murder him. You may say to me, “Why? Just because Ryan Gosling memorized the way Allan said something and then lip synced it with hilarious results?” And I’d say, “yeah. Exactly.”...

I was reading The Moviegoer while I waited in line to pick up lunch. The tall man in front of me turned around at one point, looked me up and down, and gave me a smarmy smile.
“Men don’t really like it when women read so much,” he said, setting my blood to instaboil.
“Women who read don’t really like letting men who are that dumb get it in,” I replied with a beatific smile.

Harper likes to talk her way through her bedtime songs. I don’t really care, I just plow ahead and do it whether she’s listening or not, but it bugs Brett. I guess he feels the need to “listen to her” and “not be ignored” and “be a good parent”. But she is often interrupting with things like this:
Brett: Harper, I’m going to sing now and...

Has this been posted a million times? I haven’t been on tumblr much lately, but this seems like something lots of people would have loved and posted. It is further confirmation of Louis CK being the most awesomest ever (elegant prose for the win!). But honestly, it is truly inspiring watch someone push themselves not only in their art, but also in the distribution of it. He wrote it,...
