Sleep

Fri, 11 May 2012 11:59:21 -0400

It turns out that when Shankar is not home my sleeping habits revert to my weird high school/college schedule. That is, completely pass out at 10p.m. in some state of disarray (on the couch, on top of the covers, fully dressed, lights on, etc.) Wake up sometime between 1-2a.m. Get ready for bed for real, but instead be manically awake for about 2 hours. Fall back asleep around 3-4a.m. At various times of my life I have accomplished A LOT in the middle of the night. I have written a lot of papers, finished a lot of problem sets, and done a lot of cleaning and redecorating in those hours. However, at this phase of my life, it is not super useful. My hope is that one day this cycle will allow me to be super good at dealing with an infant who does not sleep through the night.

What Happens Next: A Gallimaufry: Lamenting The Friend Zone, Or: The “Nice Guy” Approach To Perpetrating Sexist Bullshit:

fozmeadows:

Everyone’s heard of friendzoning – even if they don’t know the word, they sure as hell know the concept. It’s what happens time and again to unfortunate Nice Guys who, despite being nothing but sugar and spice to the girls they love, are nonetheless denied the sexual relationships they so…

Apparently, after having realized he had been shot, he self-diagnosed that the bullet had not punctured his lung and continued giving the speech…starting by apologizing for the interruption by saying “Oh, I’ve just been shot” and completing the speech while blood was pouring out of his chest.

Teddy was a bad ass mofo.

“Bullet? NBD CUZ I’M TEDDY MOTHAFCKIN ROOSEVELT AND IDGAF.”

Swag.

True facts. Teddy was pretty boss.

Can I vote for him?

He also rode a Moose. Which is funny to me, because he ran for the Presidency in 1912 with the Bull Moose Party.

If you don’t think this guy was our most badass president, you’re simply wrong.

My hero.

I fucking love him.

You should watch this show because 1. Dave Holmes is great and 2. H2 is pretty sweet. 3. It sounds really interesting.

If this show is picked up, there’s a good chance I’ll end up doing the website.

My friends:

This past summer, I had the great privilege of shooting a pilot for the History Channel’s new network H2, and I am excited to tell you it’s actually airing this weekend. It’s called How Many People Does It Take, and in it we meet all the people along the assembly lines of some of our favorite things (Maker’s Mark bourbon and Bicycle playing cards, for example). I’m really, honestly proud of it, and I think it’s the perfect way to end your Thanksgiving weekend: wear something with an elastic waistband, nuke a plate of leftovers, and let me entertain you.

Here’s the thing: this show is what we call a “backdoor pilot,” which means that if the ratings are good enough, they’ll make some more. So if you would be so kind, please spread the word. Reblog, set your DVRs, tell your parents. HMPDIT (which we called Humped It for short) was an absolute ball to make, and I would love to get the band back together and do this for a nice long time.

Many, many thanks. Happy Thanksgiving! Hump it.

Great photo. Some pretty good schools represented there. The photo is from the Library of Congress. I still can’t believe how recently women won the right to vote. It hasn’t even been 100 years yet.

Can’t be unseen. I saw this exact message in a bar bathroom stall once, and now every time I see one of these types of hooks it’s all I can see.

“Dabney had the artistic soul of a third-string tight end… His best dramatic moments came when the strain on his face from remembering his lines resembled the emotions he was trying to simulate.”
