Can the same be said of the company you’re building?

Thanks to a lot of luck and some bad knees (Kobe, Bynum and CP3) somehow holding up for a whole season, I was able to take first this year in the semi-Tumblr/semi-OKC/semi-randoms fantasy basketball league.

That said, the last four weeks of playoffs had me on edge as each matchup hopped back and forth until the end.

Many of the walls at Sesame Workshop, the non-profit behind Sesame Street, are big chalk boards. So it only makes sense that artists who work at Sesame Workshop turned them into huge murals of Elmo, Cookie Monster, and more. One of the artists talks about the process — and shows some more of his work — over on our blog.

So cool.

Happy Birthday, I was going to make you a card from a paper towel but I wasn't sure how environmentally responsible that'd be. :p

Fri, 20 Apr 2012 21:22:52 -0400

Hahaha. Yes.

So I guess I have to wish you a Happy Birthday via Tumblr now? Not sure how I feel about that considering I already wished you a Happy Birthday on your Facebook page. I need to think about this and get back to you next year. Well actually I'm not sure that will be necessary as we'll be sharing an office and I can just wish you a Happy Birthday to your face. In conclusion, I'm not going to wish you a Happy Birthday on Tumblr...ever. Glad we talked that out.

Now that we’ve worked through that, let’s talk about how you feel about your mother.

See you soon… In a bad way.

HAPPPY BIRTHDAYYYYY! <3

Seitz: 'Community' Is TV’s Most Ambitious Show | Vulture:

popculturebrain:

In case you needed reinforcing as to why last night’s episode was monumental. (The below is merely an excerpt form Seitz’s blog post.)

And as in “Critical Film Studies” — still the show’s aesthetic peak, though this episode came close — you got to see the show’s actors show off their chops in service of a story. When we were watching Abed “play” Jeff Winger, we were not seeing Jeff, but Abed’s conception of Jeff, which was plenty intriguing. But there was something equally thrilling happening at the level of pure performance: We were seeing Joel McHale play Jeff Winger as imagined by Abed. McHale was channeling aspects of Danny Pudi’s screen presence (the intense stare, the birdlike head movements and jabbing hand gestures, the slightly clipped delivery) even as he was playing “himself.”

I’ve read elsewhere that Pudi should get an Emmy for this episode, and I’d be delighted if he got one. He deserved one for “Critical Film Studies,” in which he played Abed playing Andre Gregory in My Dinner With Andre while dissecting his self-image in a candid, unexpectedly serious conversation with Jeff. But it would be ironic indeed if this were the episode that finally won Pudi some kind of industry recognition for his brilliance, because much of our insight into Abed came via McHale’s performance as Abed/Jeff, and from Alison Brie’s equally complex but more emotionally direct performance as Annie, who struggled to separate her feelings about Abed from her feelings for Jeff.

I can’t think of many shows in the history of American network TV that have managed Community’s trick of being pretty much like every sitcom you’ve ever seen and like nothing you’ve seen anywhere, in any medium. It’s at once a goofy, shenanigans-driven comedy, a self-aware commentary on pop culture, and an examination of ethical and philosophical concepts, and it demands to be viewed on all three levels simultaneously; that’s a lot to ask of people who are mainly looking to unwind on Thursday night.

For the record, I loved this episode.

Old man, happy birthday :)

For the record, I’m not as old as you, grandma.

Thanks :)

Happy birthday, Mike! Hope you have an awesome day.

Thanks Ralph. I asked for you to be able to have a new little one for my birthday and it came true.

Happy Birthday McDavis!

Thanks Will.

Though I didn’t say it in the post earlier, it’s been a great two years of knowing you as well.

Happy birthday, dearest. I hope it's a memorable one! xo
