Theme from Creation - Avi Amon
Because I’m...
Here's where I'll be for the next week or so:
And the surrounding area, of course. My plane leaves in about 20 minutes. Also BTW, many of the posts that are forthcoming (and this one) are just queued up - I won’t be at the computer much. But hopefully you will be! Love, Avi.
Famous as Hell.
My friend, Alison, is a brilliant designer and she is taking over the world.
Quick fact: She and I went to school together and when she graduated I moved into her old house! Click below to watch an interview she just did:
Also, if you have time, check out this competition she crushed and her website. Awesome!

Top 3 Reasons you can never be manly when buying...
Or, what I learned at the supermarket yesterday while trying to buy body wash.
It’s body wash.
The label most likely includes one or more of the following phrases: “moisturizing pearls,” “exfoliating ribbons,” or “scented with grapefruit & lemongrass.”
Even if you buy the “man” stuff (which is the same as the non-man stuff, just with...

Improv. Movie Theme #1 - Avi Amon
In this...
Avi needs more followers, methinks.
gracenmichelle:
I fucking hate the word “methinks” and now I hate myself for using it/leaving it there.
http://aviamon.tumblr.com/ <—- I like this tumblr a lot
More people should be liking and reblogging. I don’t know how many followers he has, but he should have more active ones. Follow Avi if you are a not a lame!
Merry happy holidays, Avi. I hope you get at least one new person.

OK, I'm just going to say it since no one else is.
The 3/4 version of Boyz II Men were absolutely TERRIBLE last night on the Sing-off.
Their performance lacked cool, high, and harmony and dare are I say that they’re careers are WAY BEYOND end of the road? Don’t get me wrong, I do like the ol’ Boyz. But since I’m not 13 anymore, there’s really only one use for their music - trying to seduce a middle-aged woman.

The Winter of Creativity: circle
Circle is kind of a funny-looking word isn’t it? Anyways, this is an idea I’ve been toying with for awhile. Circle was started in the Winter of 2009 and everything went exactly as planned - swimmingly. As time goes on, it may be that a purely virtual group will work better, I’m not really sure yet! Many thanks to everyone who helped contribute to this document. Have a read and...
#396: #1 Party School →
We wondered: What is it like to be at the country’s top party school? This American Life producers spent a recent football weekend at Penn State to figure this out.
“I love ‘Enchanted.’”
– I mean… I’ve never seen that movie before.
The Winter of Creativity: Favo[u]rite Website...
Ok. So.
For me, part of the Winter of Creativity is about exploring others’ creativity. It’s fascinating - and hilarious - to learn exactly how LITTLE you know about something. For example, I thought I knew about web design until I stumbled upon The Favourite (they’re British, holler) Website Awards. All of these websites are actual amazing. Like on a scale of 1 to WTF, these...

Is anyone interested...
In making a video so damn good that the producers of GLEE will cast us in their show?
I don’t mean just making a “fake episode” or anything like that - it’s got to be something a bit more creative. I have some ideas, but I want to collaborate and I’d like to make this as forreal as possible. I’ll write/arrange the music but I definitely need help with the...
“‘Life Without Buildings’ is the most annoying band on the planet.”
– And obviously I only realized this after mindlessly listening to their entire album.
I’m the worst.

The gun from Nintendo's Duck Hunt doesn't actually...
ohyeahfacts:
When you pull the trigger, the screen goes black for a split second, and then a white shaped duck appears over the black. The gun is just a sensor for a change in light (from black to white) so if it’s pointed where the duck is, it’ll pick up the black screen and then the white duck.
Early versions of the gun allowed you to point it at a constant light source (like a lamp) and...
#342: How to Rest in Peace →
There are umpteen TV shows about solving murders, endless whodunits in bookstores. But what happens to the people left behind after the detectives close the case? Three stories about children trying to figure out how to live normally after their parents have died.
Backgammon. HELL yes.
So I started playing backgammon again. I was going to play last night with Flounder but then we watched the season finale of GLEE and I was too pumped-up/emotionally drained/pissed because this season is over to focus. It’s really the best game ever. There are a number of variants on the traditional game, but the standard rules are the easiest, and quickest to learn.
It’s fun...
How I Met Your Mother isn't that funny, guys...
am I the only one who thinks this?
