Push It
Continuing my obsession with pregnancy, I wrote this skit and did the stage direction for it as part of Temple Smash. Temple Smash is a student-produced variety show that’s shot and broadcast live in front of a studio audience. Be sure to check out the whole episode—hosted by Tyler Grady—at templesmash.com.
A big thanks to my actors and all the lovely Temple Smash people who make that thing happen. It was a total blast to be part of.

Viddler: MeToday 5/6/10: Graduating, Ranting, and Panting
I’m slowly trying to revive the art of the MeToday over at Viddler. You should join in, it’s fun stuff.
My iMac hiccuped twice towards the end of this recording. Don’t worry though, I’m sure you didn’t miss anything important. Or did you? I guess you’ll never know.

Oh, you play guitar? You think you’re so cool, don’t you? Well when was the last time you pooped out something white? Better yet, when’s the last time you pooped out something white that was hard, spherical, and had an unborn baby in it?
Yeah, that’s what I thought. Finches win.

WEATHERMAN FREAKS OUT about this weekend’s Snowstorm
(Via HuffPo)
I’ve watched the video forecasts on AccuWeather.com before, and I’ve always wondered how the on-camera personalities stay entertained. They clearly just stand in front of a green screen and do a bajillion cities in a row. That has to get extremely boring after a few takes, right? Well, my friends, meteorologist Jim Kosek has found the cure for that boredom: pure insanity.

The Rhyme-As-Reason Effect
Drake Bennett on “cognitive fluency”:Matthew McGlone, a psychologist at the University of Texas, has found that auditory cues can shape people’s perception of truth. McGlone did a study in which he presented subjects with a series of unfamiliar aphorisms either in rhyming or nonrhyming form: “Woes unite foes,” for example, versus “Woes unite enemies.” He found that people tended to see the rhyming ones as more accurate than the nonrhyming ones, despite the fact that, substantively, the two were identical.

Oh, fun! Let me try:
Fallacy: People only liked E.T. because he ate Reese’s Pieces. If he was into eating poop, it’d be a totally different story.
Truth: E.T. had our sympathy because he liked our Reese’s Pieces. Things would happen differently if he liked to eat our feces.
I’m convinced.

Just for clarification, the following lyrics are the chorus, right?
Yo don’t eat up my burrito!
Yo don’t eat up my taquito!
Yo don’t eat up my Dorito!If I see a chubby little kid in the YouTube still frame, you best believe that shit is getting reblogged.
