Truth be told, I haven't the slightest. I mean, if they were advertised as "hardy mums", can I go and ask for my money back? Shrivelled within a few weeks' time hardly meets my definition of hardy. That reminds me of the Demetri Martin joke about how he got a cactus plant and then it died a month later: "I was really depressed because I was ( Read more... )

I am attempting to read Walden in earnest, but I'm quite certain Thoreau just thumbed his nose at me for wanting a pair of Alexander McQueen butterfly shoes. I mean, I dig the whole "live deliberately" notion, but the dude was kind of self-righteous, no? Well, I'll stick with it anyway.

I did pre-order this, because I have a soft spot for books ( Read more... )

I saw Taking Woodstock last night and, despite my disappointment over the absence of the Elliot/Dan affair subplot (I guess they cut it for time), I really really loved it. It has some of my favourite people: Demetri Martin (really, so adorable in this role that it's practically intolerable), Liev Schreiber, Emile Hirsch, and Eugene Levy (Splash ( Read more... )

"Man is the most powerful creature on the planet. And we're arrogant. I mean, people own birds. It's like, 'There's a creature with the gift of flight. I want it. I'm going to put it in my kitchen and make it crap on old information.'" -Demetri Martin, Important ThingsI fear his show may not last. The stand-up is strong, but the sketches (e.g ( Read more... )

Hair barely brushed and tied back in a ponytail, dressed in truly grubby grey sweatpants and a brown tank top, and feeling enormous, I dragged my bum to the gym this morning for an easy paced but much needed workout. As I climbed up onto one of the elliptical machines, a blonde woman a few machines down took out her earbuds and told me, without a ( Read more... )

Some beautiful soul uploaded Demetri Martin's one hour Comedy Central special, Demetri Martin. Person., onto YouTube. The special was supposed to be re-aired(?) on CC this past Sunday at 10 PM (EST), I believe, and yet it was not. In its place was a different special, featuring this mildly obnoxious (in my opinion, of course; funny is subjective ( Read more... )

So, Peca’s out for three to four months, maybe the rest of the season. WOE. And you know, I adore Don and Ron, but, as though we haven’t seen it enough already, they played the clip of Peca getting hit and falling down twice during Coach’s Corner. I was maybe yelling at the television just a little bit ( Read more... )

I absolutely hate The View, but Masi Oka and Milo Ventimiglia are on today. As in, right now, on ABC. Well, later on in the show, but you get the idea. Just to let you know, if you didn't already.

*smiles*

ETA: Some people were saying that Demetri Martin's comedic stylings are similar to those of the late Mitch Hedberg, so I ventured over to ( Read more... )

Scott took the day off work today in order to spend it with me. I wasn't expecting him to be home, which made the surprise even better. We went for breakfast at McD's, because I have a thing for their hashbrowns even though I know they're not really good for me. Hey, on one's birthday, one is allowed to consume such things. It's a well- ( Read more... )

Ahahaha. Oh my God. More Demetri Martin, please. He was on TDS the week before last doing an incredibly funny Trendspotting bit and there was an article about him in Rolling Stone - (got it today, finally) - so I got curious and looked him up on YouTube. And look what I found: Demetri Martin on Comedy Central. Holy crap. I was laughing so ( Read more... )
