There are really only two simple reasons for this, which I am willing to share:
1. Comments. I get numerous emails and @replies on twitter from people ( Read more... ) -
BEDA No. FINAL
So as of midnight tonight, BEDA is over. Everyone's getting all nostalgic in their blogs, so I won't bore you with my own fond memories of days past; you all know I love you and the comments you leave. Instead I'm going to do something very un-internetery... I'm going to talk people who aren't me! (ZOMG, is that even allowed?)
New people I met (and ( Read more... ) -
BEDA No. 29: accomplishments and books and misplaced question marks
W00! Accomplishment of the month: I just read a whole book in one day! I've never done that before. I'm a terribly slow reader. But at noon today I sat down with Maureen Johnson's Devilish, and aside from a dinner break, and stopping to watch the DFTBA Radio Hour earlier, I just read and read and answered emails and read. It's a wonderful book ( Read more... ) -
BEDA No. 28: SUPER AWESOME DAY
A few days ago I was on the phone with Todd and he asked me to improv a scene with him. I did. It was successful. So I tweeted " I win at improv", to which Starlysh replied: " You should try out for Second City :D" Second City is an improv training center with a theater in Chicago, many hollywood film stars and well-known comedians got their start ( Read more... ) -
BEDA No. 27: ALLLLL BY MYSELFFFFFF....
Sometimes I vent to people on Skype... I should stop doing that, especially seeing as how everyone seems to have "log chat" turned on... how often do you copy and paste IM chats to third parties?
It's been raining all day, so it's been gloomy. But I've been super productive. Nothing to mention or brag about here, just bookkeeping/housekeeping stuff ( Read more... ) -
BEDA No. 26: I LOVE TOM, by which I mean The Other Monday, of course. Suck it, hexachordal.
One of my blog readers, whose name is Daniel, built an iPhone app that lets you get my blog posts/updates right on your iPhone! How awesome is that? I'm going to tweak the look a little bit and then find a registered iPhone Developer who can publish it for me. You have to pay $99 per year to be a registered developer. Eff that. So, short story long ( Read more... ) -
BEDA No. 25: 1 missed call
So much happens while I’m out of town. No time to reflect on it all now.
Had a good day with my parents… helped with some spring cleaning, did some grocery shopping, watched the new Bond movie.
See you lovelies tomorrow.

BEDA No. 24: pointless
Like all things, YouTube goes through tides, which include really good content spurts like the one we’re currently in. You know those times when all your favorite video makers seem to be updating, and everyone’s videos are good. It probably has a bit to do with VEDA (Vlog Every Day in April). Alex is participating, and it’s no secret that he’s one ( Read more... ) -
BEDA No. 23: Fan mail in 2009
When I was eleven I drew a picture of Weird Al, for Weird Al, and mailed it off to his "Close Personal Friends of Al" fanclub address.
A week or so later I got back an autographed 8x10 that read "Hey ALAN, thanks for the GREAT drawing! Weird Al Yankovic, damaged in handling, please accept our apologies - your post office" The glossy had been ripped ( Read more... ) -
convo of the morning
nerimon says: In december I want to move to America and one of the few ways for me to stay there more than a couple months is to get a work visa. If I'm helping out with DFTBA Records do you think that will count?
fallofautumndistro says: Well, maybe, technically you'd be a contractor for DFTBA, because if you were an employee, Hank and I would have ( Read more... )
