Friends in Tumblr:
H2 is re-airing my pilot again tonight. It’s called HOW MANY PEOPLE DOES IT TAKE, and I am legitimately proud of it. It’s a fun concept: we follow the manufacturing process of some of our favorite stuff (bourbon! playing cards! fireworks!) and meet every person who’s involved….
If you’re on the East Coast or have satellite it’s not to late to...

ayearofbillyjoel:
If you’ve been following this project since January you already know about the thing I’m about to discuss hits but since people have been getting on board as this thing has been rolling I periodically have to restate things so here goes:

I’m not going to give anything away, but folding shirts is involved, as is crying in the bathroom of American Eagle (daily, for one summer).
So listen up! And tell your friends. And subscribe right here:...

the greatest paragraph, “
Throughout time there have always been cultural entities which so completely define their medium and their generation that they become either the greatest hallmark of a generation, or fade away, waiting for a revival as retro-cool. These events, artifacts and creations are concurrently the most significant achievements of the genre and the...
Pillow Talk
Last night at our house around bedtime.
Nina: I can't get the Odd Couple theme out of my head
Me: (Hums the Odd Couple theme)
Nina: How did the Alfred Hitchcock theme go?
Me: (Hums the theme to Alfred Hitchcock Presents) There's no TV theme you can mention that I won't know.
Nina: Mary Tyler More Show ?
Me: "Who can turn the world on with her smile....(throws invisible hat in the air)
Nina: That Girl?
Me: ......
Me: ummmmmm....Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na THAT GIRL!
Not accurate but she laughed.
The Mystery of Smiths Rock
Today is Morrissey’s birthday so there’s probably no better time than now to revisit one of the mysteries of my youth.
For a while I still lived on Long Island I attended the State University of New York at Stony Brook; known locally as just Stony Brook. It was and is a good school but my lasting memory of it has nothing to do with academics or extracurricular activities and...

Here is the chart from which this playlist is taken. You have no idea how bummed out I am that Sa-Fire isn’t on Spotify.
Looking at the chart is a lot of fun for me since I turned 14 a few weeks later. Odd seeing The Replacements on the chart knowing that in a short while they would become so important to me. Also, seeing Warrant’s “Down Boys” on the list reminds me...

serico:
It began as a goof.
Since February 2009, I’d been running a Twitter account under my real name, @ChrisSerico. Better known for my love of comedy than attempts at it, I tried to keep tweets unusual and funny, but never scored much traction beyond people I knew in real life.
One day in…
We all owe Jake Foglenest an apology.

I Think He Was Keeping Something From Me
Another story commemorate my father's birthday.
My dad was a talkative guy unless there was something he didn’t want you to know about, which was often. Several years ago I went home for a visit and found something new at the house that I just had to ask him about even though I knew that I wasn’t going to get much in the way of a straight answer.
Me: Hey Dad, where did you get this bird?
Dad: I found it on the road.
Me: In the cage? That’s convenient. Does it talk?
Dad: Yeah, it say’s stop asking questions.
Me: Are you smuggling rare birds?
Dad: That bird isn’t rare, look I have one right here. How rare can it be if I have one?
Me: I guess you have a point….I’ll stop asking questions.
Dad: Good. You hungry? I’ll make you something.

June 1992
If my father were still alive he would be turning 57 today. It’s been 2 and a half years since his passing and I’ve finally adjusted to the new reality that his absence created. Today, instead of feeling sad I’m celebrating by thinking of my favorite memories of my father. Like this one:
