There’s an article on the Radar that I read as “Walter Discovered An Asteroid!”
The bigger problem here may be the fact that this is making me laugh really hard. I just keep thinking of a lonely Walter discovering an asteroid in his backyard and thinking to himself “Finally! My ship has come in!”
The 6-year old asked some great questions today:
- What does it mean when you miss someone?
- What does that feel like—moving? (Re: Houses, not bodies)
- What language do they speak there? (Re: Pennsylvania)
- Who is she? (Re: Arnold Schwarzenegger)
Nina Simone - Sinnerman
Extraordinary extended clapping sequence about four minutes in.
One of my favorites.
Here is a short list of some of the best questions I have been asked over the past three months:
- What is the happy of opposite?
- Are you still alive?
- Have you ever gotten a ticket?
- When you go to jail, does how long you stay pretend—depend—on how bad what you did was?
- Why are you so silly?
- Are you getting little or bigger?
- What are those red dots on your face?
- Do you know anyone in heaven?
- Which is first, day or night?
- How old were you when you were born?
- Was I alive before this?
- What do boobies do?
I had a lot of fun trying to answer all of them seriously.

PLEASE REBLOG
many of the recent photographs have been submitted by friend and fellow beard enthusiast Jesse Caldwell, who is very much interested in shooting high quality portrait style pictures of bearded dudes eating cupcakes. Any of you in the North Jersey/Jersey City/Hoboken/NYC area who are looking to get in on the action, feel free to contact him at mr.j.a.caldwell@gmail.com (cupcakes will be provided)

Well obviously I’m reblogging this. Isn’t the entire Improv Jam troupe in a constant state of beard-growing?
alywoowho replied to your post: But what I really wanted to say is, once I’m rich, I’m gonna have someone make me Elphaba’s dress from the second act and I will wear it everywhere.
Where did you see it? My mom’s friend designed the costumes for the Broadway production.
FOR REAL?! OMG THEN SHE IS LIKE MY MOST FAVOURITE PERSON EVER. I saw it on Broadway twice (two nights in a row. Er, yeah), and once in London.
The costumes are just amazing. From shoes to socks to frocks to pants, there’s so much detail, and it’s all so… opulent?
I know. She’s really amazing. TONY Award winning amazing. I saw the show the second night of the New York previews and I guess it was my senior year in high school. I remember watching the “Dancing Through Life Scene” and thinking, ‘Maybe if I ask Susan reeeeally nicely she’ll make my prom dress for me!”
We also met Winne Holzman (and Paul Dooley) that night at the show, so the whole experience was overwhelmingly awesome in an off-beat-girl-power way for me as a 17-year old.
(When did you see it on Broadway? I went to school with a girl who played Glinda.)
Noah and the Whale—Shape of My Heart
Oh iTunes, how fitting for you to randomly put on a joyful song related to whales.
but I just found out that I’m going to be spending my summer doing a kids show about whalers in Mystic, CT.
SUCK ON THAT AWESOMENESS!
No. 7: Even tomboys like flowers. —Shannon McCarthy, 24, Valencia, California
No. 622: When we say we don’t want flowers, we really want you to secretly ask our friends or search our Web history to find out what our favorite kind of flower is without us knowing so we’re “surprised” when you hit the nail on the head. —Meredith Blake Matthews, 26, Pittsburgh
No. 10: Anything but roses. Think about it. We’ve mentioned our favorite flower more than once. If you can’t remember, go with a lily. —Rhiannon Falzone, 25, Chicago
No. 1,001: I could give a damn about flowers. Are you reading this list and taking it seriously? Because stop. If you’re doing that, instead of like, having conversations with me in order to understand the nuances of my individual being, then I don’t want to be anywhere near you. Jesus Christ.
No. 438: When we walk into your place and can immediately tell that a guy lives there, that can be either good or very bad. —Luce Melendez, 22, New York
So which is it? What are you trying to say? Absolutely nothing, Luce.
(and) do this: http://www.tumblr.com/directory/recommend/humor/necklesscage
Recommend Necklesscage for TumblrTuesday! And follow if you don’t already! It contains consistently hilarious pictures of Nicholas Cage… neckless!
I understand your concern, and share your disappointment. But for a long time you were not around, and if you remember I was not having any news from you…
Sorry about the oversight.
If you like I’ll gladly write a thank you letter for the help you gave us.
Do not take it personally. This is how things work in this business, there are always people who are forgotten, and it happens to the nicest ones!
Thierry who also re-appeared at the end, and helped a lot with front of house and the door, was not thanked. You have to realize that when you are in this business it is not a ‘one shot deal’ and people remember you for the good and the not so good…
I certainly remember everyone who lends a hand and will not hesitate to recommend people to others when asked. That too is a compensation. You need to look to the broader and longer term effects.
Let me know if there is anything I can do.
I bolded the WTFs. The more I read it, the more I want to bold everything.
I knew that something like this would be the response, but seeing it sort of deflated all my “Standing up for myself Hoo-Rah!”
Blah.
You know what else I didn’t include in that e-mail?
Qualifiers.
“I just wanted to say,” “I understand that,” “It’s not that big of a deal,” etc.
Eff that noise.
I thought it was important for you to know [that I was insulted at not being thanked] so that in the future you don’t treat other volunteers with such casual disregard.
I wish I was actually going to include this.
Woot!
Oh wow. I don’t think it’s possible for me to have a “No Alcohol May”. Between my sister’s 21st birthday, my grandfather’s birthday, my brother’s birthday, and my own birthday…well, there’s a lot of drinking that gets done.
