I need to find someone to go to the UCB Theater with me tonight. Patton Oswalt and Brian Posehn — five bucks!
The Get Up Kids - “Close To Home” This...
Tonight was my first Channel 101 screening, and it was a total blast. I love the atmosphere. I can’t wait for next month. I hope we can make a pilot.

because jokes about shaving your balls are only so funny…by which i mean unfunny. went to the improv last night to see Sarah Silverman and ended up getting to see Ben Gleib, Louis CK (again!! second time in less than a month, and he only retold one of his jokes. Loving the comedy scene in LA because you can see Sarah Silverman do standup and try new material on a rainy wednesday night....
I really hope I never become one of these people in Los Angeles who freaks out when it rains for a few days. People at the grocery store were talking about the “big storm” and how they had to “walk through a pool” just to get to there. Come on, it’s just raining a little bit!
False Ted Danson alert. That guy just had really white hair.
Oh yeah, Dave wrote the little part at the end. Oops!

DEAD
+ Chocolate and accounting didn’t mix anyway.
Today is the first day since I arrived on the afternoon of January 10 that I cannot see the sun in Los Angeles. I’m terrified of what might happen next.
I was an extra in the second edition of Return To Supermans this evening. It was a lot of fun, I met a few more Channel 101 people, and I saw Chris Parnell walking as I was driving over. And the wig I wore was probably the sweetest wig I’ve ever gotten to wear.
I just saw Chris Parnell.
Montana Governor Foments Real ID Rebellion →
Every state should reject the Real ID. I hope more states follow suit.
Today I discovered the band Polar Bear Club via Dan. I haven’t been this excited about a band in a while.
Cloverfield was pretty good for what it was, but it made me a little nauseous.
$50 for a parking ticket. Ugh.
The Fullblast - “Vanilla Hands” This...
Why does my cell phone, when it has two bars of battery, decide to suddenly say “No Service” and turn itself off when I get an important incoming call?
“Hey dude, you got a job today. You should post about that on your Tumblr.”

Per Austin’s request, here’s another...
WatchThere Will Be Jobs — ianbroyles
After taking my advice, my mom said she voted for Ron Paul in the Michigan Primary today.
Looking for jobs on the internet in a new city is such a terrifyingly daunting task. Am I even qualified for any of these things?
Oh, Los Angeles. Since being here, I’ve had lots of fun, been set up with a desk and a small space to occupy, gotten tickets to Matthew Good on March 11, had trouble breathing, and hung out with some cool Channel 101 people. Now I’ve got to get serious and look for a job.
Matt Mays - “Back Home Weather” This...
This city really kills my asthma. I hate having to go back to carrying a stupid inhaler with me everywhere I go or risk being miserable and unable to breathe until I can get to it.
LA has taught me that ball jokes are the same everywhere. Weird.
WatchI really like Bill Maher.
The only thing I hate about LA so far is what I hate about any other place: parallel parking. And parallel parking on hills. And I constantly worry about my car randomly exploding.
Real ID: The State vs. The Fed →
“Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, who unveiled final details of the REAL ID Act’s rules on Friday, said that if states want their licenses to remain valid for air travel after May 2008, those states must seek a waiver indicating they want more time to comply with the legislation. Chertoff said that in instances where a particular state doesn’t seek a waiver, its...
11 Hours
I’ve been in Los Angeles for about 11 hours now, and it’s been really, really fun. Ken showed me around a little bit this afternoon. I don’t remember much of what was what and where we were, but I appreciate it very much. I met a bunch of cool people like Chris, Jillian, Jim, and Spencer. I can’t wait to hang out with all of them, and the others I have yet to meet....
