If you live in the Los Angeles area and are not coming to the Channel 101 screening tonight, then you are insane.

My Ultra Kawaii "About Me"
Hi, my name is Dave. It always has been. In 1983 I was born. In 1987 I was growing up in the suburbs of Detroit. In 1993 we owned a family camcorder, which replaced my bike as my most valuable possession. In 2001 I started my higher education as a broadcasting/cinema student. In 2006 I moved to Los Angeles. That’s really about it. I love pizza and I love coffee. I admire pets, because they...
cmurouter: "Track 11" is called "Stupid MF" by Mindless Self Indulgence. I was just talking to Nicole about this band yesterday, and how awesome I thought they are.
WatchDoes anyone know who this song is by?
It’s on my iPod as TRACK 11… I don’t know where it came from.
“You have to wonder, at first, why people like this don’t just express...”
– Dan Harmon, making an argument against the dudes ready to tell you why they don’t like something you’ve made.
“This is a matter of genetics, I think. People are born caring or not caring...”
– Kurt Vonnegut, Palm Sunday (Page 247)
Confessional
Sona: How are you? Are you still eating off of $5 a day? You really worried me.
Me: No, I got real lazy with that. I'm not a very strong-willed person. If a beer costs ten dollars and I want a beer and I have ten dollars in my pocket, I am going to buy it. I thought I could trick myself by creating a strong desire to be cheap that might outweight my desire to buy things, but ultimately I lost.
Sona: I'm happy that you're not starving yourself. Anorexia is a big problem. Luckily you have no self-control.

ChocoCoffee
You might think it gross, but I used my Captain ChocoCrunch leftover cereal milk to pour into my coffee this morning as creamer and it tastes chocolatey and awesome. I am a genius.
WatchNo, LISTEN.
Last Night - Motion City Soundtrack
The new MCS album is doing a good job of making me sad and silly.
Heartfelt apologies to any girl who hasn’t been able to compete with all my damn ideas.
Hey you.
Come hook your feet at the edge of my bed and shake yourself to sleep.
“I think public transpo is a big robbery haven. A claustrophobic tube where you...”

My underwear is clean.
We have a working fridge.
Now all we need is an internet connection that doesn’t crash every 30 minutes.

Pizza and Coffee
You know, I often remark that my favorite things are coffee and pizza… but maybe I’m not allowed to say that because I’m not really a snob about either of those things. Gimme gas station coffee and cane sugar. Gimme a party store slice of pepperoni and cheese. I like that. Life’s too short to care that much about finding an amazing pizza joint and telling everyone how bad...
Calling all cars.

WatchNobody likes watching videos on Tumblr cuz you have to go to a whole other page that isn’t your dashboard, but I’m posting this cuz I made it and you can watch it if that’s what you’re into.
Support Creativity
Of all the good reasons to lose sleep, helping people make wonderful and silly videos is at the top of the list. Downsized, LUCYinLA, Cautionary Tales of Swords and Austin’s Robot Movie. Long weekend, lots of fun, little sleep, lots of gigabytes of video.

WatchNo, LISTEN - It’s only a song:
I Love My Canoe - Troubled Hubble
I used to request this song twice a week for a whole semester. Every time I hunted for parking in the Anspach parking lot, I waited for a spot to open up while hoping this song would play for me before one did.
All of my away messages are about kittens.
All my hard drives are full of puppies.

Four Star Reviews from People I Miss
sharkymaple: Dave, I love your blog. It’s such a great concoction of interesting quotes, good music, silliness, and just the right amount of self-depreciating humor peppered throughout. It makes me miss you. Keep up the greatness. (PS - Kitty podcasts will save the world; you just wait.)
Avid followers of Boring Loser are lucky. They get to see the drunken self-depricating posts before I sober up and delete them the next day.
I lost my “stay cheap” challenge, cuz I just bought 3 beers at $5.50 a piece. Whoops. Who cares. Fuck you.
