Right. So I went and saw Get Him to the Greek tonight by myself. It's the first time in a while I've gone to a movie solo. I think the last time I did that was when I saw Year One. Huh. I see a pattern there. The "quirky kid from Super Bad duos with an older crazier actor" formula ( Read more... )

Monday-Friday 50 hours paid a ( Read more... )

I tend to wait far too long to update when things get eventful. Then I either omit the entire happening or am forced to update in exhaustive detail. I guess posting is like shaving. If you do it regularly there is much less hassle, but if you let it go for awhile your face will show the fuzzy manly neglect. Or you have to spend entirely too much ( Read more... )
