Abandoned buildings in New Jersey were my death trap play ground when I was a teenager. Essex county for some reason thought it was a crackerjack idea to just let government owned buildings rot until someone burned them down with a moltov cocktail that you made in your parents drive way when you were 14. I could never stay away from these places. The mystery is so enticing to me… That’s one of the reasons I love scouting locations like this. It feels like I shouldn’t be there, but I was invited to come in, and the cops aren’t outside telling me to put down my paintball gun.

I surprised myself when I stayed up for this last year…looks like I’m doing it again.

Be there, or be sleeping.

Ever wonder what it’s like to make 14 videos overnight? We don’t ‘cause we’ve done it before and we’ll be doing it again. Go to collegehumor.com tomorrow night and watch as I work my ass off for over 12 hours directing and shooting tons of video and hopefully hopping on the webcam at some point to say hi. Should be a lot of fun.

I have moved back home with my parents

Don’t worry…I’ve already paid for Tony Robbins to go to Keara’s house tomorrow

kearad:

and am having a serious case of the “my life has slammed head first into a brick wall”-sies. It’s all I can do to keep my mind off the thousands of youths wheeling around energized cities, drinking from the giant frosty margarita with salt on the rim that is independent life.

Just in case this entry isn’t quite riddled with self pity, I’ve compiled a list of celebrities who have achieved quite a bit, and were born the same year as me. This will hopefully be an effective form of motivation.

1.) Lady Gaga—Yup, a fellow product of 1986. Whether or not you enjoy her neo-egyptian hair and gaudy performances, there’s no doubt that this whippersnapper has accomplished quite a bit in the past year. And as for the hermaphrodite argument well, who cares. If it’s true, then she’s just set the bar astronomically high for both teams.

2.) Zachary Condon—the cherubic crooner and frontman of Beirut, who is actually 8 months older than I am. Which is great, because I still have 8 months to catch up in terms of achievement. Although nothing I will ever do will be as wonderful as Beiruts balkan-esque tones.

3.) Megan Fox—she’s topical, so I felt like I had to include her. And as much as I think she’s overrated (in terms of talent, not attractiveness), and quite the mouthy strumpet, her face is on the covers of magazines and mine isn’t.

4.) Shia Labeouf—his last name is french for beef and he’s still famous.

5.) Ellen Page—okay, so she’s actually a year younger than me. Which makes it a little worse. But if I were into women, she’d be on top of my list. I’m not into women and she’s still pretty high up on my list.

So there you are, self. These kids are out there doing cool shit. So what if your parents watch a lot of Glenn Beck. There’s no reason not to grab a big slice of life, a la mode, the day after its baked when it’s at the cusp of it’s sugary goodness.

Really funny, Neil Casey is so awesome in this!

The Tetris God, written by me and Jeff Rubin, directed by Sam. Starring UCB’s own Neil Casey, who kills it. Defying our cries of “It’s not possible!,” Sam rewrote the order of the pieces so that they actually create a legitimate onscreen game during the sketch. One of my favorites in a while. Digg it.

Here’s a little number I edited. If you’ve ever played Tetris you’ll enjoy this. Lots of fun to work on Adam Conover and Mike Parker did a great job on the effects and animation.

Enjoy it! Reblog it! Digg it!

Directed and shot by me, produced by Eva, written by Sarah and Kevin. This was our first experiment shooting on the Canon 7D- A lightweight camera solution was necessary because our actor’s did most of the camera operating, thanks to a homemade snorricam rig on lend from Justin at nextnewnetworks. Special thanks to Noah for letting us use his lense.

Grandfathers Stories...

He explained to me that he had a dream about the wrestler The Rock. The only problem he had was that The Rock spoke too fast and he couldn’t understand him.

You got lucky this time grandpa.

I Am Not A Shopaholic!

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 14:16:53 -0500

hilarysiegel:

Steve is always trying to get me to admit that I have a shopping problem. Well, I won’t do it! I just found these 7 signs of shopaholism:

1. You buy things even though you can’t afford them.
2. You believe others would be horrified if they found out about your spending habits.
3. You write checks even though you know there’s not enough in the bank to cover them.
4. If you have any money left at the end of a pay period, you feel compelled to spend it.
5. You make only the minimum payments on your credit-card statements (if you make any at all).
6. You feel anxious or nervous on days you don’t go shopping.
7. You buy things to make yourself feel better.

HA, Steve! Only numbers 1 and 7 apply to me! So there! Now, who wants to go shopping?

“Twilight: Three Wolf Moon,” directed by me. Also written by Dan and Sarah, produced by Eva, shot by Vince, and edited by Matt. We shot this before the SNL sketch. Aubrey was kind enough to interrupt her shooting of “Parks and Rec” in order to do this. John Gemberling absolutely kills it. Digg it.

Really excellent work from the whole team on this one. NICE LITTLE DAY, GUYS.

These guys are amazing.

What do you say to parents who think the Wild Things film may be too scary?
Sendak: I would tell them to go to hell. That’s a question I will not tolerate.
