San Diego for the Weekend
Be good, kids.
It's Beautiful!
Stop reading this and go to the park. Or a BBQ. Or a BBQ in a park. Or the beach. Maybe even a carnival, if one is readily accessible to you. But just go outside! Like me!

Agreed. Screw American Airlines and their per-bag charge…this will...

Crazy guy from Craigslist calls the office and berates me. Hilarity ensues.
sarahschneider: After years of people recommending it to me, I finally committed to reading Live From New York, the incredible SNL oral history. I have about 50 pages to go, and I love it. I just stumbled upon a new favorite quote from Amy Poehler, who observes (regarding being sexy AND funny) that “Vanity is the Death of Comedy. I’d much rather have people laugh than go, ‘Whoo!’ “ This hit...
Question for you!
juliaallison: What are the top Geek songs of all time? I always think of Huey Lewis and the News: Hip to Be Square, or The Sweater Song by Weezer.
And I'm Spent
Riding back to the city now…Zootopia shoot went amazing. Highlights include meeting John Norris, getting Danity Kane to sign my lion costume, and having New Kids on The Block make fun of my camel toe. Now, a movie and sleep.
At Zootopia...
For TRL, in a lion suit. Be prepared for video next week.
Watchjustin: Last week Richard told me he was bored and wanted to shoot something. Yesterday I went over to the very nice new Gawker offices with a puppet and the talented Ben Ross. We came up with this promo, yay! Blakeley is jump starting his acting career here. A must watch.

Graduation 2.0
So I tried to liveblog my graduation from my phone, but fucking T-Mobile couldn’t send a wireless email if the phone was hooked up to a motherfucking ethernet cable inside of One Wilshire. So expect random graduation posts to pop up, like the one below. Christ.

andrewdkeller: some kid in cap and gown just jumped the fence and ran across the field at yankee stadium resulting in a 5 cops tackling him and taking him off in handcuffs. So sorry I’m missing this. NOT.

jdel: WHAT HAPPENED
Skidder: BANKS SUCK
Skidder: AND TAKE ABOUT AN HOUR TO GET CASHIERS CHECKS

jdel: THAT'S A BIT RIDICULOUS

Skidder: LET'S TALK IN CAPS FOR THE REST OF THE DAY
jdel: OK
Skidder: LOLOLOL
payj2000: I’m thinking this is not actually true. Or at least not a breach in facebook anonymity. (Mostly because no one surprising shows up in my 5. Just friends I’ve probably searched for or looked at recently. Kind of disappointing, actually. I was hoping to find out that little Paige Ferrari in Los Angeles was stalking me. ) On the contrary, it’s my personal belief that they...
youngmanhattanite: And a little bit of New York just died, part 2,112: Sue Simmons apologizes for dropping the f-bomb. Related: Wikipedia just updated that this post could have been funnier. And in other news, you can already hear PTA moms from New Jersey, Long Island, and Connecticut pissing about it right here.
Emails That Don't Belong To Me
I have a very obvious NYU email address. So obvious, in fact, that people often email me when they mean to email someone else. Turns out it’s entirely legal for me to do whatever the fuck I want with those emails! Amazing. Here’s one of many, let me know if you come up with a clever response for this shit. Also, NYU has a Real Estate Institute? From Hua Xia Sent Friday, May 9,...
Huh?
blakeley: I can no longer follow youngmanhattanite anymore cause I never know what the fuck it’s talking about. I did this two weeks ago. Rebel!
