The Jake and Amir trailer contest is over, and man was it awesome. (Here’s my favorite, but you should watch them all.) It’s funny to think that our fans are actually more talented than Amir and I are. But the editors aren’t the only people who did something really cool for us, a dude named Stephen sent us this epic poster about a week into the contest.
So now we have everything except an actual movie. Two for three is pretty chill though.
This weekend a few of the guys from work and I went hiking. We took the Metro North train about an hour towards Poughkeepsie and got off in Cold Spring. I always love an opportunity to get out of the city and be somewhere where I can see real horizons, feel the sun on my face and pee against a tree. Typically, I break up the monotony of city living by going home to Connecticut. And while I can appreciate the escape of being in my own town, it sometimes feels like I’m leaving one routine for another.
It was really great going somewhere new.
Also, one little piece of advice. Kevin has a tradition for when he goes hiking: When he’s done, he eats ice cream. I highly recommend that this fall everyone hikes up a mountain and then drinks a chocolate milkshake.
I really like this video on CollegeHumor.
Get excited, Jake
Get excited, world. I can’t wait to post about this when it’s ready.
Can anyone tell me what song this is?
Sometimes when I’m in New York City I really miss my car. Nothing is more comforting to me than a drive through my home town with some good music on. Being in the city so long and always sharing commuting space with so many people I sometimes forget how satisfying it is to just move. My car isn’t anything special, It’s a dark green Saab from 1996. But coming from a family of 8 it’s kind of the only thing that I can really consider mine.
The Saab has witnessed a lot of my life first hand. It’s seen break ups, it’s driven to weddings and funerals, it’s taken me across 9 states, it’s impeded makeout sessions by having a center console that is inconveniently large. It’s played an embarrassing amount of DMB songs.
The Saab has seen a lot of late drives on Friday nights when nothing is going on. If I were home, it’s safe to say it’d be seeing another one right now. Until then, this couch will have to do instead of a driver’s seat.
I’m currently the high bidder on eBay for a package of 48 Cadbury Creme Eggs. Despite being only a seasonal thing, Cadbury Creme Eggs are my all time favorite candy. I’m sick today and I don’t really like the thought of food, but I have an inexplicable desire to eat at least 9 or 10 Cadbury Eggs. Maybe I’m pregnant?
Either way, I spent some time looking for Cadbury Eggs, they’re sold out for the 2008 season in most places, and they’re also not yet on the shelves anywhere. Which is why I turned to eBay. I know I won’t be able to satisfy my urge today, but what’s really important for some reason is just knowing that they’re on their way. I really hope I win.
This is the best thing to have at 4 o’clock on a Tuesday.
I really like the way the new Hardly Working turned out.
I think you should always ask yourself, “If I was 8, would I hesitate to do this?
Great advice.
