Considering Seth Meyers was about 15 feet away from me on the...
Conan O'Brien made fun of me last night and it was...
Background: Conan O’Brien did an event last night at the JFK Library discussing comedy, politics, growing up in Brookline, and a host of other topics with moderator Wesley Morris.

Hierarchy of concerns concerning my broken laptop...

-Telling a smirking Apple Store employee how I spilled an entire bottle of water on my laptop during a Chicago-Boston flight and was forced to use overhead air vents and both my shirts in vain drying attempts because I feared getting up to ask for napkins...

Ways the proposed reboot of The Office will be...
-I won’t know anyone’s name
-I won’t care about anyone’s name
-I won’t care about anything they do
-I’ll be looking at stupid things on the internet instead of paying attention to them
-I’ll only be interested if they hire a hot girl
-At random points during the day I’ll shout “Wouldn’t it be cool if BJ Novak were still here?” to no one in particular
-I’m going to...

Netflix Transitions to TV Shows | NYT →

It’s an interesting transition, and one that will certainly be scrutinized, but a sensible one in my opinion. Netflix has built up an impressive cache of television shows, and understand the divide between customer bases who prefer television and movies. Though my evidence is only...

morefunthanbeingsad:
I got to F and started laughing because I realised how ridiculous it was. Just me sitting by myself with my laptop, making this weird fucking noise over and over again trying to keep my lips and tongue perfectly still.
