holy crap that script was like pulling teeth on every single page. FINALLY finished. unless i wake up tomorrow and hate it. #i reckon NYtimes.com are gonna get some shit tomorrow over their phrasing in that headline… "G.O.P. Insurgents Win in Del. and N.Y." #Ol' Dirty Bastard thought Drew Barrymore played the alien in 'E.T.' http://nym.ag/cz2sFj #ThingsThatArePerfect (via @vulture) #cleaning up this script and watching PUMPING IRON in the background. look out for secret arnold homages. #oh...

NY COMIC CON 2010

[image error]

so, i'm a guest of next month's NY COMIC CON. as the convention of my birthplace, i tend to try to bring in as many people as i can to visit… i'm the eternal home-town cheerleader. last year i set up a giant 4 table section with EDUARDO RISSO, ARIEL OLIVETTI, RAFAEL ALBUQUERQUE, NIC KLEIN and ANDY MACDONALD.

dear @louisck: LOUIE is a humbling piece of work. congratulations on a phenomenal first season. #i'm not much of an eminem fan, but rihanna's outfit reminds me of that one time my prom date tried to murder me. #luckily chelsea handler has very quickly convinced me that i'd be better off getting murdered. #that said, that venue looks like diabolik's garage. #imeanthatasacompliment #usher doesn't even bother trying to pretend he's moving his mouth to sing. #ohgodwhyamistillwatching #alright...
