[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]
“Pictures of Success,” Rilo Kiley
When I was in high school, I loved this song, but I was really and genuinely baffled about why Jenny Lewis would feel uncomfortable being ambitious. And now I’m older.
This was also my favorite song in high school. But now I realize how it was actually about where I am now.

The Best of PCB 2011 - April: Comedy’s brightest talk the craft and Ricky Gervais was there.
Poster: HBO’s Talking Funny
With Ricky Gervais, Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, and Louis CK - April 22nd at 9 pm
you know, this is why the whole “women in comedy” discussion is bullshit. When women are excluded from panels/shows/articles like this, it sends a message that they don’t deserve to be included, or that their conversation is separate. But who wants to bet that they will ask about the status of female comics in “talking funny”? Because these dudes are so qualified to speak to that. Bullshit.

Actual text conversation:
- Michelle: Idea - tv show theme song cover band
- Me: Band name - yes, we are hacks and margaritas are half price
- Michelle: Perfect. You're on keytar.
- Me: And you're on feathered mullet
- Michelle: That was a given.
- Me: Dude we are going to get so many men.
- Michelle: With ducktail haircuts and piano ties. Which are the best ties.
- Me: Basically we are on the prowl for Dave Coullier
- Michelle: We're basically Alanis Morrisette

Marah Eakin nails it. Succinctly, It’s okay to not like things, but don’t be a dick about it.

Mindy Kaling's interview at the AV Club
“I do think that if you like lipstick or watch Keeping Up With The Kardashians while you do the elliptical machine, and you’re willing to admit to any of that, that there are people who think you’re letting down women or something. Which is just a bunch of bullshit, and can make me kind of angry.”
It’s a good read.
