Have I written about Twitter? No? Well, I like it and so do too many other people since they’ve been having performance issues. It’s a microblogging kind of thing with lots of uses. You on twitter? Follow me. Leave your profile link in the comments.

Look, I’m a messy eater. It doesn’t matter if I’m eating a carrot stick or baby back ribs, I go through several napkins throughout the course of a given meal. After a meal is over I have been baffled to find food in places that food doesn’t have any business being. Head, shoulders, knees, and toes, I’ve generally got it all covered.

To be honest I didn’t realize how bad it was until I noticed my dog’s behavior during meal time. For most people when a dog begs during meals, she sits there next to you looking up with those big, pitiful, puppy eyes hoping that you’ll find it within your heart to drop the tiniest morsel on the ground that she might gratefully enjoy. But when I’m eating, the dog stands there NOT looking at me. She stands there at full alert monitoring the ground around my feet LIKE A HAWK.

Why?

Because she’s learned that when I eat, the food rains down all around her like manna from heaven. An all-you-can-eat smorgasbord of dinner time doggie delight.

On the positive side, at least I’m eating less.

My buddy, Jonathan Nail (AKA The Trained Actor) has recently started a new web series Ask You Movie Review. Each weekend he catches movie goers at the theater and asks them funny and irreverent questions about the weekend’s new movie. You won’t believe some of the questions or their answers.

Always entertaining, it’s worth checking out on Funny or Die or iTunes.

I’ve upgraded the software running the site. Please comment if you run into any problems.

I’ve been running the same theme and plugins for a long time. Every time I upgrade I have to shoehorn something to get it to work. I think a site overhaul is long overdue. Don’t look for it anytime soon but it’s climbing up the to do list.

In case you didn’t already know.

And the finale teaser

And, yes, we were rocking out to Creed. So hard.

are thus:

• Finish updating resumé and start job hunt
• Bust it in the gym (and by “it” I mean “my ass”)
• Hash out next video/comedy project
• Write up posts on what I learned about producing a web show
• Learn longform improv
• Pick up an outdoor recreation for exercise like tennis or ultimate

I sometimes have creative urges after 10pm. They are not all well conceived.

Thanks to torley for the background.

I’ve watched SNL for as long as I can remember. It was one of my earliest comedy influences growing up. It was one of the few times my mom would let me stay up and she’d watch it with me. My friends and I would crack ourselves up doing our Church Lady or Hans and Franz impressions to each other.

You see a lot of comments like “SNL used to be good back in the <inset decade>.” or “SNL was better when <insert list of performers> were on the show.”

Jesse Thorn gets SNL.

Saturday Night Live is a wonderful phenomenon. On a Tuesday, a team of spectacularly talented people get together with someone who’s famous but probably not funny. On Saturday, they put on a 90-minute variety-comedy show. That show showcases their talent, even when the sketches run on a bit long or are unfocused. It runs live on television, the only fictional program that does so in the United States. The stakes are high, and even when something falls flat, as it often does, it’s a great ride, buoyed by the best performers of their kind.

Read the rest.

I ended up doing something similar to what I did before. I am at work like this today. I expect to get looks. Also, before I shaved the chin area, I looked like General Zod’s jewish brother.
