With the lovely Diana Falzone who is not my sister, though she and I were talking tonight about how people often think we’re sisters. This was taken at the end of the night when I had my coat on but she took a few with her camera before the show and promised to email them tomorrow. Get excited!

Something nuts about nuts
I think it’s interesting that more people would like to know what it feels like to get punched in the nuts than how to properly fondle nuts.
Oh goodness, I’ve totally crossed over into not safe for work waters, huh?
Anyway, I should be doing pre-Red Eye things but I just noticed the views were tipped in a certain direction on YouTube.
Ok bye.
Oh and someone named Sooper Trev started a Facebook group dedicated to this most [some funny word here] of [something else funny.]
Please enjoy my obnoxious attempts to monetize this site
See those ugly ads? And that fugly search box to the right? And that donate button? I would like to make a living doing what I love—thinking about myself and sometimes blogging and recording videos—and so I’m trying to get on this monetizing money train.
How do I feel about this? Well first of all I hate the word monetize. It’s not even word! It’s like “Hey, I’m going to obnoxiate right now. Then I’m going to showerize and maybe later I’ll conversate.”
But yeah, times are tough and so this blog must suffer. Care to click on all those ads? Do it!
In other news, I’m on Red Eye tonight. I’m going to paste ads all over myself.

Hey nerds!
I mean nerds affectionately, by the way. So does anyone know how to put technorati and digg tags at the bottom of each post so that people can digg and technorati and whatever else I should have them do? Because I’m not sure that Share This button is really achieving the kind of communist ideal of blog sharing that I’m going for. And by that I mean when I write a post I think it should belong to everyone and should be instantly disseminated and loved by all. Like Animal Farm. All blog posts are equal but some are more equal than others. I realize that made no sense.
Anyway, I turn to you guys because I love you and want you to enjoy the fruits of my laziness plus inquisitiveness.
Also I was sick last night so I didn’t vlog as I said I would but don’t you worry, I’m going to Q&A vlog soon. Probably tonight.
Hear me on the radio this morning
I’ll be on Doug Giles show on Clashradio.com (that’s where you can go to listen) at 11:30am ET this morning talking about my 101 Things to Do In A Sh*tty Economy along with other stuff. What kind of other stuff? That’s for me to know and you to find out! Also, that’s for me to find out! The show will rebroadcast on RFCradio from 3 to 4pm and it’ll also be available archived tomorrow, or something. I think? Anyway, yeah.
And and unrelated, to the people who wanted me to sign something I put the address in the comments on that post.
Nut Fondling
I kind of wish this was a video of us holding cashews but it isn’t. It’s a primer on the delicate art of nut fondling, filmed when we couldn’t stop laughing. Warning: immature adult content. [Allow me to add that there is no actual nut fondling nor even any nuts in this video. Grody!]
