AARON SORKIN TO PIONEER THE WALK AND SCRABULOUS →
I saw this on /Film earlier and they blew chunks all over the idea. And after thinking about it, I actually agree with CHUD’s take more.
And it was awesome reading Sorkin’s answer to fan questions in the F-Book group he made.
[Also, Josh Malina, Jeremy Goodwin/Will Bailey himself, makes a few quick digital appearances in the thread.]
WatchWow this is great.

This is what it’s like to lose to Michael Phelps.
There's Something about Whiteheads.
Today I woke up with a whitehead on my left eyelid.
Its awesome and painful at the same time.

I like the idea of freezing a moment in time in a place like a journal or a tumblr post. I spent a part of last week going through some old papers and journals and I always love seeing the moments in time that are frozen on those sheets of paper. The same can be said for browsing through my tumblr archive. Each post is a moment frozen in time. Its a main part of why I started this beast in the...

Mux-up.
I’ve been putting some time into my muxtape [it will open in a new window, lest you be worried about not getting to read the rest of this stellar entry] lately, and I’m really proud of the latest incarnation.
Here are some highlights by the numbers:

Last year Obama says to him, “My intention is to steal a lot of your lines.”
Thank God.

“I just sat down and had a great meeting with Sue Naegle, who’s the head of HBO....”
– Aaron Sorkin is thinking about getting back in the TV bed with HBO.
If anything can cheer me up on a tough day, its this. Good God, I hope it works out.
Check out this interview Sorkin did with GQ. Sports Night, The West Wing, Studio 60, The Farnsworth Invention, its all there.
Spielberg Out of 'Chicago 7'...is 'Bourne'... →
I just read this article about The Trial of the Chicago 7. While the writer points out that Greengrass is a great pick to fill Spielberg’s seat and the cast is maybe the best ensemble this side of Ocean’s 11 or Magnolia, he fails to mention the real key to the perfect movie—Aaron “West Wing” Sorkin. Good god, what are they waiting for? Make this thing happen!

My Secret Public Email.
Mike Birbiglia said tonight that he has Google alerts set up so that, instead of Googling himself every thirty seconds, The Goog just sends him an alert when someone write about him on the internet.
I really hope The Goog sends him an alert about this post.
[The rest of the post will be directed at Mike, but feel free to e-avesdrop. Get it? E-avesdrop. Like e-mail.]
Birbigs,

Happy Days. or Little Did You Know.
its the little things in life that sometimes can just make my day.
new-contacts-day is awesome, especially after stringing the old pair to their maximum use. i feel like my rentas have a whole new lease on life.
i also enjoy third-day-after-a-shave-day. its when my facial hair has come in enough to be noticeable, but not enough to get itchy or betray facial bald spots. its a key day in the...
