So until I felt the need to express my joy for a rumored NYC In-N-Out location, I hadn't posted in the blog for over seven months. In that span, I finished interning at The Daily Show, interned at a fantastic radio station in Massachusetts, graduated from college, and moved back to New York to begin life as a grown-up.I'll post some things in the coming days that will be of interest to few

Oh dear blog, how I have neglected you. I'm sure you must be asking yourself, "where have you been? I've been worried sick!" Well, worry no longer, dear blog. I have returned. Chances are, another post won't come for another several months after this one, but I have nevertheless returned.Truth is, blog, I've been up to a lot. I interned at The Daily Show with Jon Stewart for four months.

The baseball playoffs are underway, but perhaps the best matchup on paper has yet to begin. It will today at 4:00 PM when the New York Mets face the Los Angeles Dodgers in a battle of arguably the best teams in the National League. For much of the season, the boys from Queens have been the favorite, but recent devastating injuries to the pitching rotation have given the series more of an equal

I've been needing new razorblade cartridges for a while. Whenever I'm out doing errands I also manage to forget to pick some up. Not today. I stopped at the pharmacy on the way home, but instead of picking up the Mach3 Turbo cartridges I've been using for over two years, I decided to make the switch to the the highly-touted (by my dad) Gillette Fusion. I haven't been doing a whole lot lately,

A pretty interesting-looking piece of spam mail popped up in my spam mailbox earlier this week:click to englarge imageI deleted it right away, though, because I have a policy about not opening an e-mails received from "Lincoln Beard." Although, Roosevelt Wheelchair, Taft Bathtub, and Clinton Enormous Dick are different stories altogether.

The teaser trailer for the new computer-animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie has been released out. Holy crap.Also, the first track from the new selftitled Ben Kweller album has been released.MP3: Ben Kweller - Penny On The Train Track (via You Ain't No Picasso and Stereogum)BK nearly singlehandedly saved my high school years (until I discovered Ben Folds, that is), and this may his best

I should be slapped for my absence in the past month or so. I've been busy. Lots has happened. More consistent entries coming soon (hopefully).For now, here's something that popped up in my spam folder:

Over eight months ago I moved into 321 Chadbourne, a dormitory in the Central area of the University of Massachusetts. I have been slowly cleaning and packing up this room over the past week in preparation to leave it for good this Friday. On the first day I moved in, I put up a set of magnetic poetry on my fridge. I picked up the set for free at last year's Siren Festival in Coney Island.

Responsible for short-form improv group Mission: IMPROVable, long-form improv group IWA: Improv With Attitude, and sketch comedy group Sketch-22, SVP presents a new comedy show at least once a week, usually twice.On Saturday night, M:I bid farewell to Scott Braidman, Calla Cofield, Nate Crawford, James Crosby, and Tyler

Sorry I haven't been around much lately. I've been swamped and stress with schoolwork-related stuff and what exactly I'll be doing this summer, fall, and beyond.Most of my time has been spent on making a film for one of my Comm 331 class. It's pretty ridiculous, but I'm actually kinda proud of it. It's about eight minutes long, and is available to watch below. Sorry about the hugeness.

Finally a steady stream of updates to this lame blog, and then I go to New York for five days, and production falters. Although I meant to post while I was in NYC, I kept hesitating. The highlight of my trip home was going to Shea on Monday to see Pedro Martinez win his 200th game in the first Mets-Braves matchup of the season. The Mets have yet to win a game since. At the time of that

I remember Christmas mornings, err.. Hanukkah evenings, like this. Thanks to GorillaMask for the video (via CityRag). It's a perfect depiction of how kids can totally flip their shit, and the slo-mo heightens it to such a point.. oh, just watch the damn thing. Can anybody guess a year on this (without Googling "N64 release date")?

Thank you, Michelle Collins, over at You Can't Make It Up, for saying what we're all thinking. She's laid out the absolute perfect dream TV lineup (okay, maybe she could've cleaned up that laziness there at the end.

Remember that board game Mouse Trap? Yeah, it was one of my favorites, too. Did you not actually play the game all that much, and just set up the contraption and let loose instead? Yeah, me too. Now think of Mouse Trap way more awesome. That's the kind of stuff Rube Goldberg did. Apparently some Asian people like that kind of stuff, too. No wonder, since they're wizards with the freakin'

Hammerkat DC Pierson wrote a great entry on his blog, Ham Fisted Theatrics, about his experience at the UMass Comedy Jam this past weekend, complete with photos from my Flickr photoset. He goes out of his way to praise our hard work, no matter how unprofessional the festival may have appeared to some. DC even calls me a "champ," but he and his fellow Hammerkatz were the real champs here. When

Flickr photoset of Comedy Jam weekend is here for your perusal.After one week of regular season baseball, the Mets are 4-1 and are in first place in the National League East. The brief season, though, has not been without controversy. Jose Guillen of the Washington Nationals charged the mound after he was beaned twice in one game by Pedro Martinez. The rivalry will continue tonight when the

Each year, Student Valley Productions here at UMass Amherst throws the largest, completely student-run comedy festival in the country, and the largest period in New England. For seven months, SVP has been planning this year's Comedy Jam to be the biggest in history, and tonight the 10th Annual Comedy Jam comes your way for FREE. That's right, comedy groups from around the country are coming here

Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, who I heard about last semester from a domestic exchange student, announced on his LiveJournal two days ago that his song, "Young Shields," will make an appearance on tonight's episode of The OC. Although it'll only be background music for one minute and fourteen seconds, Josh Schartz is always keeping up on the trends, you can't get much more emo-obscure than
