I’ve been on the internet since 93. I grew up on it.
Things were weird and fucked up for kids online in the 90s, and they’re so much worse now. And so, I write the following. If you have a younger brother or sister, if you have friends who do, if you’re a kid who finds this… please read it.
This is awesome.
On his days off from Mad Men, Rich likes to cover himself in ketchup. Kinky.
It’s true. Sidenote: Ketchup does not come out of white shirts very well.
Another sidenote: Alison Becker said I smelled like hot dogs. About fifty times. She was not wrong.
Final sidenote: I’m off hot dogs for a little while.
There’s a copy of Worst Laid Plans sitting at the cast table, featuring a story by our own Alison Brie.
Otherwise, I’m reading Twilight by William Gay.
I saw it when another member of the cast sent it around in a group email.
And thanks for the congrats! I am so, so excited for everyone.
Also, here’s our cast photo from this season.
I might have chosen a less frowny shot of me, but apparently, it’s not all about me.
Someone made a montage of all the classy ways people make the move on Mad Men. It makes me very happy.
Aaron Staton wins with, “Ken. Cosgrove. Accounts.” My goodness.
My life is wildly out of balance, with my family getting the lion’s share of my time. At a ratio of about 320:45, I’d say.

When I was broke and sad in NYC, I would read the free Metro paper on my way to my soul-crushing temp job. There was a strip drawn by Tony Murphy that allowed me a glimmer of pleasure on my train ride of rage. Then the strip got dropped from the paper, and I was left to fully experience the subway.
That was not fun.
Tony Murphy is now part of a group of cartoonists trying to get a new project off the ground, a newspaper comprised entirely of comic strips. They need just a little more help between now and tomorrow morning. If you have the time and the means, toss a couple bucks their way. I would love to see Tony’s strip lighten some other poor bastards’ days once again. Go here or click on the title of this post for more information.
You can check out his strip here.
a place for me to put things.

If you are throwing a Mad Men viewing party for the Most Important Night of our Eyes and Soul, you should be asking yourself one question:

Dave Thomas helped me put on a cumberbund for the show we were both in tonight. The 10-year-old-me watching “Strange Brew” can’t believe...
