Change your name for $100,000??

AMAZING OFFER!

I could only wish that I was given this offer. In my (warped) mind changing your name legally still isn't official to me. Your name is your name. So if some rich ass wants to dump six figures my way so my "real" name is an URL, then so be it.

You can call me IKEA.com!

Dyslexia and the Truth!

The headlines on Yahoo have "Signs he's really Mr. Right" directly next to "Ricky Martin Comes Out," and I originally read it as "Mr. Right Comes Out." And isn't that always the case, ladies?

Y'all girls hear me!?

daddy out!

Free Scripts!

I'm quite against people selling scripts that they don't truly own and taking advantage of aspiring writers who don't have much money to begin with. So I'll keep an active list of official scripts that I've purchased and/or acquired, if you see something you like, send me a message and I'll email the script(s) to you as a PDF.

My imaginative inventory includes:

Modern Family - Pilot
The Big Bang Theory - Pilot
How I Met Your Mother - Pilot
Community - Pilot
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - Gang Gets Crippled
30 Rock - Tracy Does Conan / The Head and the Hair / Jack Tor

Enjoy!

Moo?

Just saw Food, Inc. last night. It is not a fun movie.

I feel guilty.

Celebrities Being Cool

This will be a new segment (although probably rare) where I point out celebrities being cool. Now the two celebrities I have for you today are already fine in my book, and I've never had, nor see me ever having qualms with these two. They seem genuinely nice, and now apparently I want to hang out with them ASAP:

Jenna Fischer: Yep, the once receptionist now sales(wo)man for Dunder Mifflin apparently 1) plays board games with her husband, and 2) loves Carcassonne! I already thought of her to be awesome when she posted a large blog entry to help people starting out in the showbiz industry, but this takes the river. Jenna plays with Meeples!

Mila Kunis: The nagging girlfriend from That 70's Show and Jason Segal's love interest in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, apparently plays Settlers of Catan. That isn't what impresses me though, when she described it as "a mixture of Risk and Monopoly" to which the interviewer asks "Like the old version of Axis and Allies?" Mila then freaks and says "Yes, exactly! Oh, my gosh!" So she 1) knows of Axis and Allies, and 2) has at least played it enough to know how great it is. She knows that Infantry roll 2's for defense.

Kudos, ladies. I'm ready for both games whenever you are.

As for you other celebs, do something cool in public, and I'll congratulate you here on my blog that nobody reads. Pretty exciting, ay?

TV hits new lows

"Defenders" (CBS)
Jerry O'Connell and Jim Belushi star as "fiery Las Vegas defense attorneys." Doesn't sound so bad... until you realize that it isn't a sitcom. Not sure we want to see (or would buy) either of these guys as hard-hitting lawyers.

I truly believe that no one could ever have an idea that is worse than this.

At this time there is no website to promote this disaster. Give it time though... give it time.

Tina

Recently a young 17 year old guy asked out a girl to the prom on national television (the Early Show on CBS). I must congratulate this kid for not only having the courage to go through with this plan (I've thought of it myself when I was younger) but also for having the girl say "yes" in front of millions.

Well played, sir, if I actually went through with this act at that age, the girl would've replied with laughter or "who are you?" Kudos!

Although I must pity you, because I'm sure you won't spend your prom night buying Frankenberry like this guy. Few can make that claim... very few.
